Lohan signed on to play Bette’s daughter in the comedy series, appearing in just the pilot episode before backing out to pursue other opportunities.The Herbie: Fully Loaded star was replaced with actress Marina Malota but according to Bette, Lindsay’s exit threw the production into a tailspin.READ MORE ON LINDSAY LOHANShe told David, “Lindsay Lohan was cast as my daughter in the pilot.The First Wives Club star continued, “Well, after the pilot, Lindsay Lohan decided she didn’t want to do it, or she had other fish to fry. So Lindsay Lohan left the building – and I said, ‘Well, now what do you do?’”The X-Files actor mentioned that Lindsay’s contract should have stopped her from leaving the show or at least provided consequences for her doing so.Bette replied, “If I had been in my right mind, or if I had known that my duties were to stand up and say, ‘This absolutely will not do, I’m gonna sue,’ then I would have done that.” Most read in CelebrityThe three-time Grammy winner admitted that Lindsay’s exit from Bette wasn’t the show’s only problem, revealing that she had a tough time getting a handle on the production, even as an executive producer.“I seemed to have been [blocked] in some way, that I couldn’t get to the writer’s room,” Bette stated.Lindsay Lohan confirms Freaky Friday 2 and reveals Jamie Lee Curtis made her prove identity with ‘secret code’ from movie”I couldn’t make myself clear – and there were so many competing personalities,” she continued before adding, “I couldn’t speak to the showrunner.”I couldn’t make myself clear – and there were so many competing personalities.”The notoriously fast pace of sitcom production wasn’t a help either.“I had no idea how fast people make [sitcoms],” she told David. The Beaches actress continued, “You have to give people so much credit when it’s great, because the speed of it is so taxing, and if you didn’t keep up, you were in big trouble.Bette premiered on CBS in 2000, lasting only 18 episodes before being canceledCredit: GettyLohan signed on to play Bette’s daughter in the comedy seriesCredit: CBS”I was booked on David Letterman and he said to me, ‘How do you like it so far?’ I said, ‘It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life. It’s like being a dung beetle and pushing a pile of s**t up a hill every day.’ And of course, the next day I was fired.”There appear to be no hard feelings coming from her one-time co-star, however, as Lindsay posted a throwback promo photo of herself and Bette on Instagram last week.She captioned the photo, “Had such a blast filming with the incredible @bettemidler #tbt.”FREAKY FRIDAY 2Lindsay is reteaming with her former co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, 65, for the sequel of their 2003 comedy film, Freaky Friday.

Most read in Celebrity”I worked with Michael Jackson but nothing came close to what Taylor is doing.”Ticket sales alone are expected to gross over $2 billion – smashing the record from 12 months ago. And since the start of the year, an estimated $80 million has been brought in with a mass of Swift memorabilia flying off the shelves.How to make Taylor Swift’s favourite cocktail”No other artist can even dream about making even $20 million in merchandising sales on tour,” added the business strategy veteran.”Millions of fans have been waiting for this to happen, and they have been saving money to spend it on their favorite artist.”The tour is the biggest ever, and Taylor is the most famous artist in the world, and they want to have their part of history.”INSANE NUMBERS Taylor is predicted to bring in another $120 million in Europe where she will play sold-out shows in France, Portugal, England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Spain, Wales, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands.”We expect the numbers to be insanely high,” confirmed the expert.MONEY-MAKING MACHINETaylor Swift sold over 4.3 million Eras Tour tickets which averaged in price at $239.95. That means she brought in $17 million per show.
      The Eras tour in 2023 grossed a record $1.04 billion from just 60 shows.
      The former record holder – the legendary Elton John – made around $900 million from over 300 performances.
      Ed Sheeran’s Divide Tour raked in $776 million from 257 shows, while iconic rockers U2 played 110 shows on their 360 Tour and saw $735 million roll in.
      Swift broke attendance records at several stadiums, including New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which saw a three-day attendance total of 217,635, and she set single-day records in Pittsburgh and Nashville.

      There is also an expectation of swathes of American-based fans making the pilgrimage to Europe for a show. When the tour returns to North America later this year, the merchandise sales total alone is expected to exceed $500 million.READ MORE SUN STORIES”Selling more than half a billion dollars of merchandising is absolutely unbelievable,” said the insider. “Taylor Swift will make history once again.”The U.S Sun has spoken to two music industry insiders who claim fans are helping Taylor Swift break all manner of merchandise and ticket sale recordsCredit: GettyOne industry insider who worked with Michael Jackson said the money generated by Taylor Swift is off the chartsCredit: AFP More
