On Watch What Happens Live Tuesday, Tisdale was asked about going out for the role of Karen Smith, the lovable airhead eventually played by Amanda Seyfried. As such, Rolling Stone has done its solemn and dignified journalistic duty and reached out to a rep for Mean Girls screenwriter and mastermind Tina Fey in the hopes that she can confirm and/or remember the line.
