The daily gossip: Freaky Friday sequel officially in the works, Mayim Bialik won't finish hosting Jeopardy! season in solidarity with writers strike, and more

TGIFF. A sequel to the 2003 comedy Freaky Friday, which starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who swap bodies, is officially in the works, with Curtis and Lohan both in talks to return. Disney confirmed the news to the New York Times for a piece tied to the 20th anniversary of the film, and Elyse Hollander is writing the script. Curtis told the Times that after people kept asking her if there would be another Freaky Friday during her Halloween Ends press tour last year, "When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, 'It feels like there's a movie to be made.'" Apparently, the mouse agreed. "Jamie and I are both open to that, so we're leaving it in the hands that be," Lohan said, promising, "We would only make something that people would absolutely adore." Finally, Hollywood is making good choices. 

What is … solidarity? To support the ongoing writers strike, Mayim Bialik will no longer host Jeopardy! during the current season's last week of tapings, according to Deadline. The quiz show, which tapes multiple episodes in a day, reportedly had one more week of filming left this season, scheduled for May 16 through May 19. Jeopardy! is a WGA show, and its writers have been spotted picketing during the strike. "Our words are on the screen every night," writer Michele Loud told Variety. "There is no Jeopardy! without writers." With Bialik supporting the writers by refusing to get behind the lectern, Ken Jennings is reportedly taking over as host to finish out the season. He and Bialik continue to share hosting duties. But according to Deadline, questions were already written in advance of the strike, so Jennings won't yet need to resort to quizzing contestants on how many jellybeans are in a jar. 

Fast & Furious is keeping things in the family. Meadow Walker Thornton-Allan, the 24-year-old daughter of late actor Paul Walker, revealed on Instagram she has a cameo in the franchise's next film, Fast X. She shared a photo of herself in the movie during what appears to be a plane scene. Noting that she was just a year old when the first Fast & Furious came out, she reflected on being "born into the Fast family," adding that she "can't believe now I get to be up there too." She also said she's "so blessed to be able to honor my father's legacy." After Paul Walker died in a car crash in 2013, his brothers helped with filming his final scenes for Furious 7, which ended with his character, Brian O'Conner, driving off into the sunset. But Vin Diesel has suggested the franchise will revisit the character, telling Total Film he "couldn't imagine this saga ending without truly saying goodbye to Brian O'Conner."

A mold infection spelled disaster for the Spelling family. Tori Spelling shared on Instagram that she has discovered "extreme mold" in her home, which turned out to be the culprit behind her family's recent illnesses. "We've all been on this continual spiral of sickness for months," Spelling wrote alongside photos of her and her kids at an urgent care center. It got to the point where the kids were "at home sick more than being in school," sleeping "all day" and feeling "dizzy even standing," she said. But the "pieces all started to fall into place" after mold was found in their home. "We now know that when the house was labeled a health hazard and not live able that wording was FACT," Spelling wrote. "We now GET IT!" She added that the family will "vacate the home asap," and she's looking to stay at an Airbnb or a hotel "till we can even grasp what to do."

That man has never been to medical school. Will Poulter told GQ he recently had to explain to a man at a urinal that he isn't Sid, the kid who blows up his toys in Toy Story, despite that being an animated film. "A guy at a urinal in LA last week turned to me and said, 'You're in Toy Story, right?'" Poulter recalled. "And I was like, 'Well, that was animated.'" Even if he was under the impression that Poulter voiced the character, the actor pointed out he was two when Toy Story was released. "And they weren't doing it through live action," he helpfully added. But this man was hardly the first person to make that comparison, and Poulter told GQ that "arguably I haven't helped my case" considering he once dressed as Sid for anti-bullying week. So if Disney ever wants to make the Sid: A Toy Story Story spinoff absolutely no one asked for, they know who to call.
