Jennifer Coolidge brought her signature self-deprecating humor to the Emmys stage this year, making a joke that had everyone talking\u2014at her own expense, and Elizabeth Debicki\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The White Lotus star was presenting the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series to Hacks star Jean Smart when she took a moment to poke fun at her own award-winning past. Coolidge, who won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Emmy in 2023, quipped: \u201cI can tell you from experiencing winning this, it\u2019s not all it\u2019s cracked up to be. It\u2019s really not. I had gotten really close with my fellow nominees especially after I won but I\u2019m pretty sure they removed me from the group chat.\u201d<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t stop there. \u201cWe were all supposed to go on a trip to Ibiza, and I found out that I wasn\u2019t included,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd the only reason I knew that was because Elizabeth Debicki and I have the same Ozempic dealer, and you know, at least hers is working. But now that I think about it, winning the Emmy, I think it might have been the worst thing that\u2019s ever happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Debicki, who won an Emmy last year for her portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown, wasn\u2019t at the ceremony, as she\u2019s currently filming The Adventures of Cliff Booth alongside Brad Pitt in LA.<\/p>\n
Coolidge\u2019s joke taps into a recent trend among celebrities, many of whom have openly discussed using weight-loss medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro, including Meghan Trainor, Amy Schumer, and Scott Disick.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fans are still hoping Coolidge will reprise her role as Paulette Parcelle in another Legally Blonde film. Screenwriter Mindy Kaling recently told TIME: \u201cI don\u2019t have any power here. It\u2019s an MGM, Amazon, and Hello Sunshine thing. Dan Goor and I wrote a draft that we really like. We hope it sees the light of day\u2026 It\u2019s like writing fan-fic except it\u2019s the actual three-quel.\u201d<\/p>\n
She praised Coolidge\u2019s current career momentum, saying: \u201cSince the time we started this project, she has had this renaissance with The White Lotus. If you put Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge in a movie right now, I don\u2019t know a single person who wouldn\u2019t run to the theaters to see it, and they\u2019re already the two stars of Legally Blonde? That\u2019s fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
For now, fans will have to wait to see if Coolidge and her on-screen bestie return for the highly anticipated sequel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
