Lip gloss it is, which, of course leads to an amusing incident with a motorcyclist that is overtaking! Apparently, some people think that the motorcyclist is director Roger Kumble, but it is just a professional stuntman.

Roger Kumble also directed 'Cruel Intentions' and with it gave Selma Blair her first movie role.
7. Jane gets a new boyfriend during the film, and he turns up to see her at work, what is he wearing when he shows up?

Answer: Jane's mother

The woman who played the teacher Mrs. Franklin is actually Christina Applegate's mother- Nancy Priddy. The school children turning up was not originally in the script, and was added by Roger Kumble.

Answer: "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" - Aerosmith

Courtney does try "Relax" but it has an unwanted reaction! Jason Bateman who plays Roger, Peter's brother, says he hadn't previously heard "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" despite its huge success!

The cast recorded their version of this song, which was written by Diane Warren, at the famous Capital Records Studios, where many famous artists including the Beatles recorded.
12. When we first see Jane she is crying after being dumped, she says her boyfriend was "dying inside for six months" since she took what to his house?

Answer: Her garment bag

Courtney and Christina then tell her that the problem was she made herself too available. Christina tells her to look for Mr Right Now instead of Mr Right, and that eventually, if he is the right person the 'now' part will drop away. Aawwww. This scene was a reshoot, and both Cameron Diaz and Selma Blair were wearing hair pieces. Christina Applegate had also returned to her more usual blond hair colour and had to use brown mousse to colour it back.
13. Who wrote "The Sweetest Thing"?

Answer: Nancy M Pimental

She also has a little cameo in the film as the girl who vomits in the bathroom of the club, and later on Roger. Selma Blair claims that the funniest lines in the film weren't actually written by Nancy, and purely improvisation.

15. In the Chinese restaurant there is a man sitting behind Courtney with a keyboard.

Answer: False

He is sitting behind Christina, yet no one thinks it's strange! This scene is the one Christina Applegate read when auditioning to be in the movie. The European version included a very amusing song, which many saw as a highlight of the film, but it did not appear in the US theatre release.
16. When the girls go to the club the second time Christina dances with a guy called Donny, what is the name of the dance move he teaches her?
