Every time I see a reference to "Trading Spaces" I think of "Trading Places". And of course the babe from Trading Places is Jamie Lee Curtis.

since the disney channel is on a fair amt in the xshouse, i saw that jamie is in a movie with and i am going to forget her name. wait. lindsey lohan, called Freaky Friday about a teenager and her mom being switched to each others bodies. it looks pretty funny. i love the seen in the trailer when Jamie, who is pretending that she is Lindsey in Jamie's body, looks in the mirror and says OMG I look like one of those CRYPT people....

That does look hilarious. It is a remake. The original Freaky Friday had Jodie Foster as the daughter and I don't remember who played the mother but she was a very pretty lady who looked a lot like Ann Margaret. John Astin played the father. I can hardly wait to see the remake with Jamie Lee Curtis. Also, I had heard they were doing a True Lies 2 with Jamie Lee and Arnold S. I hadn't heard if Tom Arnold would be returning as Arnold's partner.
