  • Courteney Cox Gets Engaged, Has “Friends” Reunion

    Courteney Cox recently announced on Twitter that she’s engaged to Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, and last week she and her two favorite Friends co-stars got together for dinner so she could show off her new ring.

    Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Jennifer Aniston met up at Craig’s in L.A. to eat and catch up, and reportedly stayed at their table for more than three hours.

    “They had a girls’ dinner to celebrate Courteney’s engagement. They had a great time and enjoyed catching up over dinner for several hours,” a source said.

    Cox and McDaid were seen together at Aniston’s holiday party last year, prompting rumors that they were an item. Recently, she was spotted out with Jen Meyer, who designed her engagement ring. Meyer posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram, saying, “I guess he liked it so he put a Jennifer Meyer ring on it!!”

    Cox’s other Friends co-star, Matt LeBlanc, said he has yet to meet the new man in her life but will be making it a priority.

    “I have not met Courteney’s guy yet, so I need to get on that … I need to get the baseball bat and go over there,” he said with a laugh.

    Cox and ex David Arquette split in 2010; they have one daughter together.

  • Jennifer Aniston ‘Changed My Life,’ Says Fiancé Justin Theroux

    Jennifer Aniston, 45, and fiancé Justin Theroux have had their share of negative press with reports that their relationship is on the rocks every other week or so, and the Leftovers star has a few things to say about it.

    “My life changed a lot,” Theroux, 42, said in an interview in the August issue of Elle. “More people are like, ‘Hey, man!’ And I don’t think that’s from my role in John Adams.”

    Unaccustomed to being in the spotlight before his relationship with Aniston, Theroux had to make a few adjustments to his life to accommodate the new attention from the media and fans alike.

    “But it only changed as much as I engaged with it, and I learned very quickly: Don’t ever engage with it,” he said. “Just JKL. It was a learning curve, but it wasn’t as traumatic as you might expect. It’s just annoying. Occasionally you’ll get a stewardess congratulating you, on, I don’t know, whatever, some three-headed baby we just had.”

    Theroux — the son of novelist and travel writer Paul Theroux — said he still can’t quite get over — or keep up with — the reports that emerge about the couple.

    “I can’t get over how terrible the narrative is, just how poorly written it is,” he said. “It’s worse than a telenovela. It’s so dramatic. Like, ‘They’re broken up, they’re together, they’re storming out, storming in, rushing out, rushing in.’ They make every celebrity look like a schizophrenic.”

    Theroux began dating the Friends alum in 2011, and the couple were engaged a year later.

  • Lisa Kudrow Meets Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox: Friends Reunion?

    Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox all got together for dinner in L.A. last week, to the delight of all the tabloids, fueling rumors about a Friends reunion. It was, of course, a reunion of sorts, but without the talk of producers, sets, and sitcoms. Instead it was a gathering of three good friends (with a lower-case ‘f’) who gathered to celebrate Cox’s recent engagement. The ladies met at Craig’s and enjoyed about three hours together–eating and chatting, as girlfriends do.

    “They had a girls’ dinner to celebrate Courteney’s engagement,” a source said. “They had a great time and enjoyed catching up over dinner for several hours.”

    Courteney Cox said ‘yes’ to Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDade’s proposal in June.

    While Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston shared in Courteney Cox’s excitement, Courteney received an unexpected and completely unplanned FaceTime call from Friends costar Matt LeBlanc.

    “I just happened to FaceTime Courteney and she’s like, ‘Look who I am with!’ I was like, ‘Oh, wow, that’s good,’ ” he said. “It’s hard to get together because everyone is all over the place.”

    Matt was very clear about having given Jennifer Aniston his seal of approval for fiance Justin Theroux, but admitted he hasn’t yet met Johnny McDade.

    “I have not met Courteney’s guy yet, so I need to get on that … I need to get the baseball bat and go over there,” he said

    “If they’re happy, I’m happy,” he added.

    Lisa Kudrow may not have engagement news, but she is certainly making news in Showtime’s Web Therapy, and will soon make a comeback on HBO for a few episodes of The Comeback. She says she had a blast meeting up with all of her good friends and former Friends costars.

    “It was really fun, great to see them,” she said. “I got to see the ring,” she added, referring to the Cougar Town star’s engagement ring.

    The antennae of diehard Friends fans likely rise when they receive any word of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow getting together. What they must understand is that in addition to having starred together in Friends, these ladies are friends–and it looks like that will never change.

  • Jennifer Aniston Talks New Fragrance

    If you are looking for a new summer scent, Jennifer Aniston has one that you are sure to love.

    The former Friends actress recently launched her second fragrance called J by Jennifer Aniston. Aniston described the scent as an alternative for the fruity choices, and says that the scent reminds her of arriving at the beach.

    “My debut fragrance is a clean, feminine perfume — it reminds me of the way you smell when you just arrive at the beach: fresh, with a touch of sunblock and sand,” Aniston told PEOPLE. “This new fragrance is its complement. It has a hint of that salty sea smell that reminds me of a day spent in the ocean. It’s relaxed and refreshing.”

    Aniston launched her first fragrance in 2011 and said that her role as a perfume developer came natural to her. “I wanted to create my own fragrance because for years, I would make scented oils and lotions for my girlfriends for wedding showers, baby showers and birthdays,” Aniston explained. “I would create a personalized scent for them, so when I was offered the opportunity to design my own fragrance I jumped at the chance.”

    Not only is Aniston working on her fragrance line, she was also recently named the spokeswoman for Living Proof hair products. In May, Aniston explained that she has always liked to take on a low maintenance approach to beauty and Living Proof helps her with that.

    Since her days on Friends, Aniston has always had the hair that every woman envied. However, she explained that it hasn’t always looked like it does now and isn’t easy to care for. “It’s funny and entertaining in a way and it’s of course very flattering to say the least,” Aniston told ABC. “But I always have such a chuckle when I hear people saying I have great hair because as a kid it was always a challenge.”

  • Courteney Cox: Cougar Town Star to Wed

    Courteney Cox: Cougar Town Star to Wed

    Courteney Cox of Friends and Cougar Town fame is engaged to Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid. The couple shared their exciting announcement via Twitter on Thursday evening.

    The two were first spotted together at Cox’s BFF Jennifer Aniston’s holiday party back in December. Since then they’ve been seen together a number of times including on the red carpet as they celebrated Courteney Cox’s directing debut for Just Before I Go at the Tribeca Film Festival in April.

    The couple shared identical photos along with their almost identical tweets to announce their good news.

    There is high speculation that Cox and McDaid will get married some time in July. Do you suppose Jennifer Aniston will serve as maid of honor for her best friend? If Jen and Justin Theroux would get off the stick and actually go through with their supposed wedding plans, Aniston could theoretically be a matron instead of a maid by the time Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid take their walk down the aisle. If they get married next month, however, it’s pretty unlikely that Jen will beat her to the altar.

    Courteney Cox has planned a 50th birthday bash for herself to be held at her home in L.A. Sources close to the actress say the ‘birthday bash’ may be staged and a wedding may be taking place instead.

    This will be the second marriage for Courteney Cox. She was previously married to actor David Arquette from 1999 to 2013. Their divorce was final in May of 2013, although they were separated for a lengthy period prior to filing for divorce. They have one daughter, Coco.

    Congrats to Courteney on her engagement to the Snow Patrol rocker. The paparazzi is now anxiously awaiting her 50th birthday in hopes of catching photos of anything that resembles a wedding instead of a birthday bash.

  • Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid Engaged

    Courteney Cox, 50, is engaged to 37-year-old rocker Johnny McDaid.

    The Friends alum and her Snow Patrol rockin’ fiancé announced the engagement with his-and-her Twitter posts Thursday night.

    “I’m engaged to him!” Courteney posted on her page.

    “I’m engaged to her!” Johnny posted on his page.

    Rumors of a romantic relationship began to make the rounds back in December when they were spotted together at Jennifer Aniston‘s holiday party in LA.

    Over the past few months, the pair have been spotted together on numerous occasions, including the April New York City premiere of Courteney’s Tribeca film, Just Before I Go, which also marks Cox’ directorial debut.

    The couple were introduced to each other by Ed Sheehan, who commented about the meeting to E! Online.

    “I wasn’t allowed to talk about this, actually, but it’s just gone public so… My housemate [McDaid] who I’ve lived with for a year, I introduced him to Courteney Cox. They started dating and [are] crazy about each other.” said Sheehan. “I ended up spending a lot of time living in her beach house and therefore bumping into all these random people. We spent Thanksgiving eve at Jennifer Aniston’s before spending the day at Courteney’s.”

    This is the second marriage for the Cougar Town star, who was married to David Arquette from 1999-2013. The couple separated in 2010 and share custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Coco.

    The exes finalized their divorce in May 2013.

    Cox is slated to return for the sixth and final season of Cougar Town in 2015.

  • Matt LeBlanc On His Relationship With His Father

    Matt Leblanc, who is most well-known for his role as Joey on Friends, recently opened up about his troubled relationship with his father.

    Matt was raised by a single mother, Patricia, and didn’t meet his father Paul until he was eight years old. “You can learn valuable lessons from unpleasant people too,” Matt told Britain’s The Times Magazine. “My dad wasn’t around when I was born and I only met him for the first time when I was eight.”

    Matt and Paul were able to somewhat salvage their relationship when Matt was a child, but Matt cut him out of his life when he landed the role on Friends in the 1990s. Once Matt hit it big with his role on the comedy, Paul started selling stories about Matt to the tabloids for money.

    “We had a good relationship when I was a kid – he taught me how to ride a motorcycle, how to sail a boat, how to tie knots. Since then he has sold stories about me to the tabloids. We don’t really speak any more,” Matt said.

    Speaking of Friends, Matt recently talked about his time spent on the show, and how he wouldn’t change a thing. “I’ll always be known for Friends—so will Matthew [Perry], David [Schwimmer], Courteney [Cox],” LeBlanc told the Boston Common of the show that also starred Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow. “It’s OK with me. I can only speak for myself, but I’m very proud of it. I wouldn’t do anything differently.”

  • Jennifer Aniston Hires Coach to Prep for George Clooney Wedding

    Jennifer Aniston has reportedly hired a confidence coach to prepare her for attending George Clooney’s wedding where she knows she will come face to face with her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his fiancee Angelina Jolie. Sources believe this will be the first time the Friends star will have been in the same room with Brad Pitt since their 2005 break up. Even though Brangelina–as Pitt and Jolie are often referred–and Aniston all attended the 2009 Academy Awards, there apparently was no one on one contact between the parties.

    George Clooney is set to tie the knot in September–much to the chagrin of single women from around the globe. He is marrying Amal Alamuddin at an undisclosed location, although some reports now say that undisclosed spot may be located in Venice. Clooney is very close friends with both Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt.

    “Jen is no stranger to therapy, so she decided to seek some help. At the wedding she’ll have her fiancé, Justin [Theroux], there for support, but the thought of seeing Brad and Angelina is quite overwhelming,” a source says. “The therapist has been helping to build her confidence and eliminate the fear she seems to have built up about coming face-to-face with them. She has also been having hypnotherapy.”

    Goodness that’s a lot to go through to simply be in the same room or chance a polite “Hello, how are you?” with an ex. However Jennifer Aniston has long been a huge proponent of counseling so if it makes her feel more confident, more power to her.

    “The Oscars were one thing, but George’s wedding will involve being in a smaller, far more intimate group where they won’t be able to avoid one another. Jen wants to be as breezy as possible. She has been doing role plays with her confidence coach and will be as prepared as she can be,” the source explains.

    Jennifer Aniston–at least for appearances sake–shouldn’t feel a lack of confidence around Brangelina. She is beautiful, smart, and funny–but even more than that she seems real, and that’s something Angelina Jolie simply doesn’t exude. Jolie appears like a queen on a throne–untouchable and regal, while Jennifer Aniston seems like the girl next door.

    Hopefully Jen’s therapy sessions provide her with that extra boost she feels she needs to strut her stuff at George Clooney’s wedding and knock the socks off both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

  • David Schwimmer: ‘Friends’ Star in Right Place at Right Time

    David Schwimmer of Friends fame was in the right place at the right time this Memorial Day Weekend–or at least his security cameras were. Schwimmer’s New York City residence is replete with several installed security cameras that keep watch on what is going on both inside and outside the actor’s home. When a crime was committed near his home this weekend, he went to local authorities in an effort to help them solve it.

    It seems a fight broke out around 6:00 AM on Monday between a man and a transgender prostitute. Reports say the customer refused to pay for services rendered and the ‘escort’ then tried to steal his computer as payment instead. The fight escalated all the way into a doorway at an apartment building adjacent to David Schwimmer’s. The two actually went crashing through the lobby door.

    A separate report indicates a third party was involved in the fight, too, and came in through the door at the apartment building during the altercation between the first two subjects. The third party reportedly tried to rob the first man involved. There is apparently some speculation that the third party was in cahoots with the transgender prostitute and planned the fight for the sake of the robbery from the start.

    David Schwimmer called local authorities and invited them into his home to view the footage of the altercation. He even made the cops a copy of the footage to take back with them to the police department.

    It’s nice to see David Schwimmer in the news, although fans would likely have preferred it be for a Friends reunion instead. He hasn’t been seem much since the popular series ended, however he did play himself during the sixth season of HBO’s Entourage and has voiced the role of Melman in both Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape to Africa.

    Maybe we’ll soon see him in his own big city crime show now?

  • David Schwimmer Helps Police Solve A Case In New York City

    At about 5:48 a.m. on Monday, a fight broke out at an apartment building in the East Village.

    Robert Rainey, 21, broke into a man’s apartment and stole his mobile phone and MacBook Pro laptop. The man was said to be with a prostitute at the time, and reports say that the prostitute may be an accomplice of Rainey. The man fought Rainey, and sustained slashes from a box cutter on his face. The prostitute quickly fled the scene after using pepper spray on the victim.

    The New York Police Department only had the statements of the victim and Rainey to work with. The apartment was next to Friends star David Schwimmer’s home, and the police noticed that he had a surveillance camera installed. Schwimmer cooperated with the police and provided the surveillance tape, which will be used in court.

    The tape caught the latter part of the fight, as the victim and Rainey moved out of the apartment and out to the sidewalk. Rainey is held on $20,000 bail and he was charged with robbery, criminal possession of a weapon, and assault. Police are still searching for the prostitute.

    By helping solve a crime, neighbors may now be friendlier with Schwimmer. Since purchasing the home in 2010, Schwimmer has not been popular with the neighbors. He purchased the oldest home in the neighborhood, and demolished it, which angered some residents. The neighbors also complained of the disturbances caused by renovations to the home.

    One neighbor said, “Four years ago, I would say David Schwimmer was the least popular guy on the block with the construction and all.” He continued that Schwimmer may be a decent neighbor after all and that he is glad that the actor aided the police in solving the crime.

    CNN tried to reach out to Schwimmer’s representatives, but they have not released a statement regarding the incident.

  • Jennifer Aniston Dishes on Iconic Hairstyle

    Jennifer Aniston has long been an icon in the world of popular hairstyles. Best known for ‘The Rachel’ from her days on Friends, she jokes that she never was very good at doing her own hair. Her longtime stylist Chris McMillan created–and maintained–the ‘do.

    “‘The Rachel’ was one of the hardest hairstyles to maintain. Me and the blow dryer and the hairbrush weren’t meant for each other,” Aniston said during a recent interview. “It really was a ‘hairdo.’”

    “When Chris would style it my hair would be great, it would look gorgeous,” she added. “But then when I was left to my own devices, it wouldn’t look the same!”

    These days Aniston is “all about a low-maintenance approach” and that includes only washing her hair every other day or every three days. She still finds having had the most popular style around to be completely ironic.

    “It was all anyone ever wanted to know about, all Chris ever got asked to do. I liked it at the time, but I started to grow it out after about eight months. But it just wouldn’t die.”

    These days, however, ‘The Rachel’ seems to be a done deal. Jennifer Aniston now sports a far more relaxed ‘do that requires little to no maintenance at all except for regular trims and color touch ups by Chris.

    She was asked a humorous question about her hair recently and her answer might just surprise you.

    “Would you rather have the Rachel haircut for the rest of your life or shave your head once?” Jen was asked.

    “Shave my hair once, definitely. ‘The Rachel’ for the rest of my life? Shave my head once! Yeah, I’d shave my head once!” she emphatically replied.

    Jennifer Aniston could definitely pull off being bald. ‘The Rachel’ was pretty cool, too. Which do you think you prefer?

  • Jennifer Aniston: “The Rachel” Was The Cut That Wouldn’t Die

    Jennifer Aniston has some of the most famous tresses in Hollywood, which the actress says she always found funny because when she was younger, her hair was a “challenge”. Twenty years after she made “The Rachel” the go-to hairstyle for women all around the country, Aniston says she can’t believe it hung around for so long, especially since it’s difficult to maintain.

    “When Chris (McMillan, her stylist) would style it my hair would be great, it would look gorgeous. But then when I was left to my own devices, it wouldn’t look the same!” she said.

    At the time–when Friends was at the height of its popularity–Aniston loved the cut. But once she realized how difficult it was to style on her own, it got old really fast. She kept the cut less than a year before she started to let it grow out, she says, but other women hung on to it and McMillan was in high demand for a long time because of the style.

    “It was all anyone ever wanted to know about, all Chris ever got asked to do. I liked it at the time, but I started to grow it out after about eight months. But it just wouldn’t die,” she said.

    Aniston recently surprised fans when she revealed that she only washes her hair once every 2 or 3 days, but says it’s made possible by Living Proof products, which she endorses.

    “I don’t get a lot of product build-up with Living Proof and my hair doesn’t get dirty straight away. I wash my hair with No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner. And with PHD Styling Treatment I can air-dry and style my hair in 10 minutes, when it used to take 25 minutes,” she said.

  • Courteney Cox To Marry On Her 50th Birthday

    Former Friends star Courtney Cox may be close to getting married again.

    According to a source close to Cox, she is planning on throwing a huge birthday bash for her 50th birthday, and there is speculation that she may be marrying her Irish rocker boyfriend Johnny McDaid during the event.

    The couple was first linked together last year when Cox’s good friend Ed Sheeran set them up on a date. Cox and McDaid then went public with their relationship earlier this year, and in April they decided to take the next step and McDaid moved into Cox’s home in Malibu, California.

    Cox has dropped hint after hint that her party in June will include a huge surprise and the source seems to believe that the surprise is her wedding. “She’s throwing a big party at home in LA and it looks like it’ll be more than a birthday bash,” the source explained. “She’s asked guests to wear white and dress smart — and has let slip that there’s going to be a BIG surprise.”

    Cox has a nine-year-old daughter Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette, and the source revealed that she would be a bridesmaid in Cox’s wedding. “Coco’s going to be a bridesmaid and David has been asked to make a speech. They want to put on a united front and show that everyone’s happy,” the source continued.

  • Courteney Cox: For Last Time, No Friends Reunion!

    Since 2004 when it ended, fans of the 1990s hit television show Friends have been wishing and hoping for a reunion. On Monday night, the rumors of that possibility were shut down (again) by actress Courteney Cox.

    “It’s not going to happen,” Cox told David Letterman on The Late Show.

    “Let me tell you something: there’s six friends and I’ve been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn’t happen. I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, Schwimmer lives here [in New York City]…”

    Cox’s comment confirms what Marta Kaufman, co-creator of Friends, said last April.

    “I’m going to clear this up – it’s not happening,” Kaufman said. “‘Friends’ was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there’s no need anymore.”

    Friends ran for 10 seasons on NBC, becoming one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. It even is said to have had cultural impact during the run: “The Rachel” hairstyle that was copied all over the world, Joey’s catchphrase “How you doin’?” became a part of American slang, and Chandler’s habit of leaving a sentence unfinished for sarcasm started to affect young society’s speech patterns.

    Although the six actors won’t be reuniting at Central Perk any time soon, many have moved on to other television series and/or films. Cox is currently starring on ABC’s hit comedy Cougar Town. Jennifer Aniston has had enduring film success in movies such as Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers. Lisa Kudrow is starring in her third season of Web Therapy on Showtime. Matt LeBlanc stars as a fictional version of himself on the BBC Two/Showtime series Episodes. Matthew Perry is soon to star as Oscar Madison in a new television version of The Odd Couple and David Schwimmer has been working on and Off-Broadway in a handful of stage debuts.

    However, if fans are still in Rachel-Monica-Phoebe-Joey-Chandler-Ross withdrawal, there are always reruns.

  • Courteney Cox Refutes ‘Friends’ Reunion Rumors

    Courteney Cox is setting the record straight. The rumors circulating about a possible Friends reunion are not true.

    On Monday, April 21, the 49-year-old actress appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.

    When the romantic-comedy sitcom became the topic of discussion, Letterman mentioned the rumors, and asked Cox about the possibility of a reunion segment. The Dirt actress embraced the moment as an opportunity to put the countless rumors to rest.

    “It’s not gonna happen,” Cox said. She went on to quip about how difficult it is to just have all of her former cohorts in the same room for dinner. So realistically, a reunion is quite far-fetched.

    “There’s six friends and I have been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years,” Cox told Letterman. “It doesn’t happen. I mean, I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, [David] Schwimmer lives [in New York City], so it’s just not going to happen.”

    http://youtu.be/zEsdxopUUac

    If fans had any hopes of a Friends reunion, it’s quite obvious that won’t be happening now. However, Cox’s comments are nothing new. Last April, Friends c0-creator Marta Kaufman offered a blunt response to the rumors, saying the exact same thing in a statement for E! News.

    “I’m going to clear this up — it’s not happening,” Kauffman told the publication during a brief interview on the red carpet of the Lifetime TV movie Call Me Crazy. “‘Friends’ was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there’s no need anymore.”

    Although more than 20 million Friends fans may have held on to a false sense of hope for a reunion, there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel – 10 memorable seasons fans can watch over and over again.

  • Courteney Cox: There Will Not Be A Friends Reunion

    Courteney Cox: There Will Not Be A Friends Reunion

    Friends fans have been anxiously awaiting a reunion episode since the comedy series ended nearly ten years ago.

    Rumors that a reunion episode was in the works has been squashed on more than one occasion, but Courteney Cox, who played Monica Geller on the show, is finally putting the rumors to rest and saying that it is simply “not going to happen.”

    On Monday night’s episode of the Late Show with David Letterman, Cox made an appearance and addressed the speculation. “It’s not gonna happen,” the Cougar Town actress said.

    She revealed that she can’t even get her former co-stars (Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Mathew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer) together for dinner, let alone another episode.

    “There’s six friends and I have been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years,” Cox explained to Letterman. “It doesn’t happen. I mean, I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, [David] Schwimmer lives [in New York City], so it’s just not going to happen.”

    Last year, Friends co-creator Marta Kaufman gave the same answer when asked if there was going to be a reunion project. “I’m going to clear this up — it’s not happening.” Kaufman said. “Friends was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there’s no need anymore.”

    Needless to say, for all of you who have been holding out hope that the Friends were going to be getting back together, it looks like it is just not going to happen.

  • Courteney Cox to David Letterman: No ‘Friends’ Reunion

    Courteney Cox recently told David Letterman that a Friends reunion show is “not gonna happen.”

    Cox appeared on The Late Show Monday night and Letterman asked the inevitable question: will there be a Friends reunion?

    Cox said she can’t even get the six former cast members together for dinner due to conflicting schedules and the fact that they all live on opposite coasts now. If she hasn’t been able to accomplish that – and she claims to have been trying since the show went off air – how could a reunion show or movie happen?

    Cox is still on the west coast, living in Malibu with her nine-year-old daughter Coco and boyfriend, Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid.

    Cox has played Jules Cobb on Cougar Town since the series premiered in 2009. She’s also worked as a director on the show since 2012.

    Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston has continued to be a household name in the years since the series ended in 2004, but what about the other cast members?

    Matthew Perry is still involved in television. News broke in December that he would write, produce, and star in an Odd Couple reboot on CBS.

    “Ever since seeing the movie The Odd Couple when I was 10 years old, it has been a dream for me to play Oscar Madison,” Perry said. “To be given the opportunity to develop a modern version of it for CBS has put a permanent smile across my face.”

    Lisa Kudrow recently voiced a character in Lovesick Fool: Love in the Age of Like. The animated short co-stars Janeane Garofalo and Fred Willard. It’s written and directed by Dominic Polcino who is well-known for his work on Family Guy, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons.

    Kudrow is also collaborating with Scandal’s Dan Bucatinsky and Dan Savage on the documentary series It Got Better, after having made a few guest appearances on Scandal herself in 2013.

    Matt LeBlanc has starred as a fictional version of himself on the BBC/Showtime series Episodes since 2011. In 2012 he won a Golden Globe for the role.

    Finally, David Schwimmer is voicing a character in The Penguins of Madagascar which is slated for a March 2015 release. Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Ben Stiller will also lend their voices to the film.

  • Courteney Cox and Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid Living Together

    Courteney Cox of Friends and Cougar Town fame and her boyfriend of very few months–Johnny Daid–are reportedly living together. News of the cohabitation was inadvertently announced by good friend and A Team singer Ed Sheeran.

    “I’m not sure that it’s public knowledge, so maybe I shouldn’t have said anything – but, yes, they’re already living together,” the redheaded crooner admitted at a VIP preview of Chris Moon’s A Splendid Isolation exhibition in London on March 27

    Cox and McDaid were first spotted out on a date during December at a holiday party at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s home. It wasn’t long after that they traveled along with Cox’s daughter with David Arquette–Coco Arquette–to Italy. In February she still played coy with Wendy Williams when talking about her new relationship with the Snow Patrol rocker. McDaid plays piano, guitar and sings back up vocals for the band known for hit songs like Chasing Cars.

    “He’s amazing,” the Scream 4 star said. “Great guy. We’ve gone out to dinner a few times. My whole thing is that, he’s a great man and to have someone kind, that you trust around your kid is the most important part.”

    A source recently confirmed Ed Sheeran’s slip of the tongue and said the two are very seriously involved–so serious, in fact, that there is already talk of having a child together. 9-year-old Coco could be a big sister before too long.

    Prior to marrying David Arquette back in 1999, Courteney Cox was linked to both Michael Keaton and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz. Her relationship with Johnny McDaid seems to be the most serious one she’s had since her divorce from Arquette became final last June.

    It will be fun to watch the progress of Courteney Cox’s new relationship. Given the lack of progress in Jennifer Aniston’s wedding plans it will be interesting to see which of the former Friends stars takes that walk down the aisle first.

  • Jennifer Aniston Ignores The Tabloid Drama

    Jennifer Aniston has spent the majority of her adult life in the spotlight. Not only did she spend ten years playing Rachel on Friends, she has also been cast in many top-rated films including Marley and Me, The Break Up, We’re the Millers, and Horrible Bosses. She has an extensive resume dating back to 1988, and has basically grown up in the public eye.

    Because she has created such a name for herself in the television and film industry, she has spent her fair share of time being publicly scrutinized in the tabloids, and constantly followed by the paparazzi. However, she says that she refuses to let them, and their bogus stories, steal her joy.

    “You just have to work really hard to tune out the noise and the static,” Jennifer said. “Because it gets louder, and people really have an opinion, and you don’t want to shy away from taking chances for fear of what people will say, or living in the wreckage of the future of what may be if I do this.”

    To avoid the drama that comes along with being a celebrity, Aniston explains that she has developed a tight-knit group of friends and tries to remain as humble as possible. “There’s times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they’re starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible,” she explained.

    Aniston recently celebrated her 45th birthday and sat down with the Associated Press to talk about her current milestones in life. She revealed that she doesn’t spend her entire life planning what is to come, however she tries to live life one day at a time and reflect on all of the things she has accomplished so far.

    “Reflection should be almost a daily thing if possible,” Jennifer said. “Because I was never a ‘where do you see yourself in five years’ person. I had no idea, and I didn’t have a checklist, which really creates a lot less stress in your life.”

  • Lorde Annoyed By Radio Host’s Nosey Questions

    Lorde Annoyed By Radio Host’s Nosey Questions

    Lorde is still relatively new to the media’s spotlight, so we don’t exactly know what the “Royals” singer is like and what exactly makes her tick.

    However, during a recent radio interview, the singer definitely didn’t back down to the nosey and rather rude interviewer.

    On Monday, March 10, Lorde sat down with radio host Kyle Sandilands of KIIS FM. While there to discuss her Australian tour, Sandilands got a little sidetracked over her blossoming relationship with fellow-musician Taylor Swift.

    “I see you guys’ pictures everywhere are you guys together now?” Sandilands asked. “Not together as in lesbians, I’m not talking about ‘Ellen together’ I’m talking about, like you guys are friendly right?”

    Instead of fueling the radio host’s desire to know the intimate details of the girl’s friendship, the 17-year-old seemed more bothered by his phrase selection of “Ellen together.”

    “What do you mean you’re not talking about ‘Ellen together,’ is there something wrong with lesbians?” she curiously asked.

    Taking a moment to reply, the radio host said,”Oh my god no, I would love that!”

    Obviously trying to create a story out of nothing, the host added, “Are you going to confirm now you’re in a lesbian relationship with her?”

    Clearly beyond her years, Lorde replied with a smug, “Don’t even try it.”

    “I do love her though, we get along well with her. She’s very down to earth, right?” Sandilands continued to ask, seemingly trying to diffuse the conversation from getting worse.

    “Uh… yeah,” Lorde said, remaining short.

    The radio host then sarcastically commented, “Don’t go too overboard explaining the friendship then.”

    That prompted Lorde to say, “I won’t, believe me.”

    While Lorde is only 17, it’s clear she doesn’t stand for any b.s. And that’s what we love about you, Lorde!
