If Mike White ever decides to take a break from writing twisted whodunnits to try his hand at slapstick romantic comedy, he might want to give Jennifer Coolidge a call. During an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Coolidge reminisced about visiting Hawaii when she was younger and falling for two guys who were friends. So she could have concurrent two-week flings with both men, Coolidge lied about having an identical twin. “I don’t know if I would have the guts to do that now, but at the time, it really was sort of a great decision,” she mused.

Coolidge also said that playing an older woman with an eye for younger guys in “American Pie” had a positive effect on her love life, although she did have to walk back something that she said about it. Speaking to Variety, she dished, “I got a lot of sexual action from ‘American Pie.'” But in a later interview with Entertainment Weekly, she revealed that she was just joking when she told Variety that she hooked up with 200 different people after appearing in the movie. She did, however, add, “It did sort of open up the world to a much broader group of handsome men — and younger men.” This included one lover who asked his mom for a recommendation when Coolidge told him she was looking for a beauty salon where she could get a decent blow-dry.
