“I’ll tell you exactly who,” she dished. “One of my oldest friends, who still is one of my closest friends, Ilana Miller. And Lindsey Alley. We meet up for girls swanky dinners and numerous amounts of alcohol…like, drinks. We just met [up] like two weeks ago.”
“Someone always cries, and someone always tells a hilarious [story],” Keri added. “It was all our 20s in New York, and ‘so-and-so hooked up with so-and-so,’ and what bl– job story went wrong. It was the best.”
A couple years ago, Keri dished on her time on The All New Mickey Mouse Club and said she was the least talented one there.
“I was there at a time when there were a lot of famous kids there. And I say this completely truthfully: I was literally the least talented one there. I’m not kidding,” she told W magazine. “When I look at those kids, I’m like, why in the world did they pick me? Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears. It was wild.”
