Ariana, 25, begins the video as Regina George from
Mean Girls. She glued her ex-boyfriends’ photos into her “Burn Book.” Over Pete’s name she wrote, “Sorry I dipped.” Underneath, she hinted at his large …
package.

Under
Big Sean’s photo she wrote, “So cute, so sweet (could still get it).” For

Interestingly, she didn’t put
Mac Miller’s photo in the book, probably out of respect for the late rapper.

During the recreation of the iconic “Jingle Bell Rock” scene, Kris took over
Amy Poehler’s role as “not a regular mom” but a
“cool mom.” It parodied
her reputation as an overly enthusiastic momager.

Last was
Legally Blonde. Ariana was joined by
Jennifer Coolidge as they danced around the hair salon, doing the iconic “bend and snap.” They’re even joined by a hunky delivery man — but
he’s not from UPS.

Next was a quick
13 Going on 30 homage. A tearful Ariana sat on the ground with a huge dollhouse, just like
Jennifer Garner at the end of the film. The film’s romantic lead,
Mark Ruffalo, tweeted about the video.
