Tina Fey has denied reports that there will be a 'Mean Girls' reunion movie.
The 43-year-old comedienne - who wrote the original film - has shot down rumours that there could be a sequel after it's star, Lindsay Lohan, last week revealed she'd been approached by Fey and added that there could be a 10th anniversary project in the works.
Fey told Access Hollywood: "[There's] definitely not a movie. It's just the anniversary is coming up, so everybody get your pink shirts. It's been 10 years. You can tell when you look at me it's been 10 years."
The former 'Saturday Night Live' star didn't completely rule out any kind of reunion for the cast - which included Lindsay, Rachel Adams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert - but said there definitely isn't going to be a follow up to the catty high-school comedy.
She explained: "I said to her [Lindsay], 'Oh, I think someone may call us about doing some kind of reunion because next month is the tenth anniversary of the movie.' And so really... if everyone's around we might try to do some kind of like panel discussion.
"But it's not like - it's not another movie. At most it would be like a panel discussion with a plate of hot wings."

Karen Gillan found it "scary" when she first saw herself as Guardians of the Galaxy's Nebula.
The 26-year-old actress - who shaved her head for the part - will play the female villain in Marvel's big-budget superhero film, where she dons purple face paint and a black face-piece.
Gillan could believe what she was seeing when she saw herself in the mirror, dressed in character, for the first time.
Talking to collider.com: "I couldn't believe it. I was like 'woah'. I'd seen mock up pictures and they'd done make-up tests on other people, so I had an idea. But, when I saw it on myself it was really scary."
The make-up and costume helped Gillan get into character since she didn't feel like she was herself.
She added: "It did half the job for me. I mean, having shaved my head and working out so much, I just felt like a different person so that really helped with the performance."
She will star alongside Chris Pratt who will play the lead role of Peter Quill - otherwise known as the Star-Lord.

Joe and Anthony Russo will direct 'Captain America 3'.
The Russo brothers helmed the forthcoming sequel to 2011's hit film - titled 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' - and are "getting an idea" of how they want to approach the next installment.
Talking to collider.com, they said: "Well now that Kevin [Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios] said it that means we can talk about it, I guess. That's great. We're just in the formative stages of it right now. We just started breaking story with [screenwriters Christopher] Markus and [Stephen] McFeely and we're just getting an idea of what we wanna do with it."
They admitted it's "crazy" working on the third film, since 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' is yet to hit the big screen.
The superhero adventure, which stars Chris Evans as the titular character who is also known as Steve Rogers, will be released in Los Angeles later this month and in North America this April.
They added: "It's crazy working on it before the movie even comes out because you want to see what people respond to in the movie. You want to get some inspiration from what people like about the film so you go, 'Okay, this is what we gotta lean into in the next movie' or 'this is what we should move away from, this didn't work so well.' So we're just in that phase of breaking story but waiting to see how people respond to the movie."

Scarlett Johansson says 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is a "continuation" of 2012's hit film.
The actress plays Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff in the films, and has revealed the characters grow whereby the are able to take the "next step" in the forthcoming Marvel picture, which is due for a May 2015 release.
She told collider.com: "I mean this movie feels like the continuation of 'The Avengers', it doesn't feel like a tag-on or the rehashed version or just 'let's throw a bunch of new characters in there and keep the thing alive.' It really feels like the next step, and all of our characters, our relationships with one another continue to progress, become more intertwined, more complicated, more meshed."
Johansson also gushed about director Joss Whedon who has come up with a "totally solid" and "ever-expanding Marvel universe".
She explained: "I was just amazed -- Joss is something else, he really is. He locks himself away for God knows how long, I think he has the dark circles to prove it. [He] just came out with something totally solid. I was really impressed by his ability to make this ever-expanding Marvel universe feel very close-knit and cerebral and progressive."
Johansson is hoping fans of the comic will "love" the film's "dramatic moments" which the viewers can relate to.
The star added: "And the film has a lot of great comic book moments that the fans are gonna love, but it's also got a lot of really great dramatic moments that audience members, I think, will really relate to."

Kristen Bell hopes the 'Veronica Mars' movie "satisfies" fans.
The 33-year-old actress - who reprises her titular role in a movie spin-off of the cult classic TV series - admits she feels a responsibility to ensure fans that helped finance the film through crowd-funding website Kickstarter enjoy it.
'Veronica Mars' made headlines last year after Bell and show creator Rob Thomas raised over $5 million from avid viewers of the show, which ran from 2004 to 2007, to fund the big screen production.
Quizzed if she's nervous about the film, Bell said: "Our Kickstarters who funded the movie are my priority, so I'm a bit nervous ... [well] not nervous, but I'm hoping that everybody leaves the theatres satisfied.
"If new fans like it or people [who] didn't Kickstart the movie, that's just an added bonus for me."
The film picks up several years after the TV series ended and sees private investigator Veronica return to her hometown of Neptune, California, to solve one last crime when her former high school flame Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) is charged with murdering his girlfriend.
'Veronica Mars' will feature numerous cameos from A-list stars including James Franco, Jamie Lee Curtis, Justin Long and Bell's husband Dax Shepard.
The actress gushed to Access Hollywood: "We just made a bunch of phone calls and asked people to be involved. We just lucked out that everyone wanted to be involved."

Aaron Paul didn't want 'Need For Speed' to be just "another video-game movie".
The 34-year-old actor is currently starring in the film adaptation of the popular game developed by EA for consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation, and he claims he was sceptical about the project until he realised the script was actually really strong.
He said: "I didn't even want to read the script. I saw the scrip and was like, 'Oh, no, another video-game move...' So it took everything in me to read the first page.
"And once I turned the first page, I kept turning. I was so surprised that it had a great human story behind it and great characters that I found myself instantly invested in."
The 'Breaking Bad' actor's co-star in the film, Ramon Rodriguez, was also doubtful about whether it would have a serious plot-line but admitted he too changed his mind as he started to relate to the characters in the script.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "When I first heard about the script, I thought, 'Ugh, I don't want to do just another car film or a video-game adaptation that doesn't work.'
"But when I read the script, the thing that caught me was the story of these brothers and these guys, which I was actually kind of attracted to, and to see them come together for a buddy of theirs, I can really relate to that."
