The actor revealed her favorite moment involving her 'A Cinderella Story' co-star and some salmon on 'Watch What Happens Live.'

White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge is really—finally—having a moment.

In just six months the actor won two of Hollywood's highest honors, the Golden Globe and Emmy, for her role as spacey Tanya McQuoid in HBO's White Lotus and is poised to snatch another at the February 26 Screen Actors Guild Awards.


Between her eccentric characters and her even more eccentric persona, some might assume Coolidge is putting on her quirky persona.

But if a story fellow actor Hilary Duff recently told is any indication, Coolidge comes by her eccentricity very, very honestly.

During a recent appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, the How I Met Your Father star took a question from a viewer who wanted to know what her favorite part was of working with Coolidge in the 2004 film A Cinderella Story.

And, well, suffice to say it was downright weird—in the best and most vintage Coolidge way possible.

Hear Duff recount the tale below.

Duff told the viewer:

“My favorite moment was her rubbing salmon on her face while filming ‘A Cinderella Story,’ and talking about the omegas."

We presume "omegas" refers to salmon's high content of healthy omega fatty acids, but part of what makes it a great story is that when it comes to Coolidge, "omegas" could mean absolutely anything.

Anyway, it turns out the moment made such an impression that even Duff's toddler son's eating habits reminds her of Coolidge.

She went on to say:

"My son actually started eating sushi when he was 3 and had a similar moment, and I looked and was like, ‘You’re just rubbing raw salmon on your face.'"
"And it was soft and he liked it and it reminded me of her."

Aww...

Duff's fans were loving her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, especially those diehard fans who miss her former pop music career and her star-making Disney series Lizzie McGuire.




And of course there was no shortage of love for Jennifer Coolidge and her new project, the Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel romcom Shotgun Wedding, in which she reprises her greatest White Lotus talent—comedically shooting a gun.



Duff definitely shares the love for Coolidge—salmon or no.

She went on to tell Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen:

"She’s always been a lovely human being but I’m really proud to see her moment."
"I think it just reminds me that being in this industry, I feel so lucky that anything can happen at any stage."

And anything can happen when you're working with Coolidge, that's for sure.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
