- Summary: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (SEPTEMBER 22, 2010) (REUTERS) "YOU AGAIN" PREMIERE SIGNBOARD VARIOUS OF SIGOURNEY WEAVER AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) SIGOURNEY WEAVER SAYING: "I think you have to be kind of cool to have a rival. I did not make that cut. I was eccentric and kind of dorky, but luckily I was in a school where dorkiness was okay, so I'm grateful for that now." WEAVER TALKING TO REPORTER (SOUNDBITE) (English) SIGOURNEY WEAVER SAYING: "It was never true, and I don't think the audience ever bought it. I think it's a few executives who are trying to figure out the market. I think one of the great things about our world is that sex lasts forever and people are attractive because of who they are and I think they know that around the world, and I think that in America, sometimes we do forget that." JAMIE LEE CURTIS ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAMIE LEE CURTIS SAYING: "You know, you had people that didn't like you so much. But I had good friends. I didn't have something like this." JAMIE LEE CURTIS ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAMIE LEE CURTIS SAYING: "Put it this way, with that Kristen Bell, to that one (Weaver) and Betty White and Victor Garber, there were definitely funny people around. I just overact so that you'll pay attention to me." KRISTEN BELL ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) KRISTEN BELL SAYING: "I happen to have worked with some of the most beautiful, gorgeous, sexy women in Hollywood, and all most all of them are in this movie, so I don't think it exists because you're only sexy if you feel sexy. And let me tell you, Sigourney, Jamie, and Betty, they feel pretty sexy. They're putting out major sex vibes." BETTY WHITE ON RED CARPET

- Story Text: Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis walk the red carpet in matching dresses for the world premiere of "You Again." Weaver says that there's no such thing as being too old to be sexy in Hollywood.
It was like seeing double at the world premiere of "You Again" in Los Angeles on Wednesday (September 22). Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis walked the red carpet in matching gowns.
The duo play old, bitter high school rivals in the film - Weaver the former popular girl, and Curtis the former class nerd.
Weaver's character still maintains her sex appeal decades after graduation, something the 60-year-old actress is very proud of: she said she doesn't believe in the notion that you can be too old to be hot in Hollywood.
"It was never true, and I don't think the audience ever bought it. I think it's a few executives who are trying to figure out the market. I think one of the great things about our world is that sex lasts forever and people are attractive because of who they are and I think they know that around the world."
Weaver's co-star, Kristen Bell, agreed, saying she doesn't think there's a stereotype against older women in Tinseltown anymore.
"I don't think it exists because you're only sexy if you feel sexy. And let me tell you, Sigourney, Jamie, and Betty, they feel pretty sexy. They're putting out major sex vibes."
A stunning Jamie Lee Curtis was definitely holding her own on the carpet - but for her, it was more important focus on her comedy vibes.
"Put it this way, with that Kristen Bell, to that one (Weaver) and Betty White and Victor Garber, there were definitely funny people around. I just overact so that you'll pay attention to me."
