Rachel McAdams doesn’t even go here.
The actress, who played Regina George in the film “Mean Girls,” was noticeably absent from a new Walmart commercial, which featured several of her co-stars from the 2004 teen comedy.

The TV spot, which also stars Daniel Franzese and Rajiv Surendra, comes nine years after the iconic teen flick hit cinemas.
“Some things never change. On Wednesdays we wear pink, but now we shop Walmart Black Friday deals,” Lohan is heard saying in a voiceover, spoofing the film’s original dialogue.
The ad also revisits some of the movie’s most iconic scenes, including the girls’ “Jingle Bell Rock” performance — where they wore sexy Santa costumes — and Seyfried’s character Karen Smith’s air-headed weather report.
