We were the first to reveal the plans of the Friends cast and our source was spot on. Just like we told you, they managed to put together a joint statement and issued it a few minutes ago. See link:

Countless celebrities have taken to social media to memorialize Matthew Perry after his unexpected death at 54 on October 28. His 5 Friends costars, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer have remained silent. According to my source the tight knit group is debating whether to issue a joint statement or individual ones. My source says that the group wants to schedule their statements so they are released at the same time. It’s likely to be the SAME statement but they’re all in such a state of shock and mourning that they’re changing their plans by the moment. My source expects something will be released today…
In case you were wondering if Demi Moore and Emma Heming are actually as close as they seem, this should put any doubts to rest. The ex and current wife of Bruce Willis are SUCH good friends that Emma just named Demi the guardian of her two daughters, Evelyn and Mabel in case something happens to her. The women were close before Bruce’s devastating dementia diagnosis, but his illness has brought them closer. While they’re remaining optimistic, if something happens to Bruce, Demi and Emma’s friendship will continue. “Their daughters are half-sisters and Demi and Emma genuinely get along, so their bond is eternal,” a mutual friend explains.

Alec Baldwin is counting on his celebrity friends to help him beat involuntary manslaughter charges! An insider says Alec is determined to prove he wasn’t responsible for the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie, Rust, and he plans on the help of his famous friends to prove his innocence. According to an insider, a plea deal was floated around before the formal charges were filed on Jan 31, but Alec is determined to FIGHT the case and he’s relying on many of his fellow actors to testify if the case goes to trial. The insider predicts that Alec’s trial will have more movie stars than the Academy Awards. Alec hopes having many big name actors testify about gun use on movie sets will sway the jury in his favor. Many of his A-list pals have already agreed to testify on his behalf if needed.

No grudges here. Exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are getting remarried, but ONLY on the big screen. Early in their marriage, Brad guest-starred on Friends and he and Jen hoped to eventually costar in a movie, but they divorced in 2005 before it happened. The closest they came to becoming costars was in 2020 during a Covid 19 fundraiser where they joined other celebrities in an online read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Nice to see that this pair had a civilized divorce and have morphed into fabulous friends. Brad decided the time was right to finally do a movie together which his company, Plan B, will produce. He and Jen will play an unhappily divorced couple in the rom-com who are forced to remarry in order to inherit a fortune. The script is being tweaked and they hope to begin filming this summer.

Ivanka Trump is going on tour, an apology tour! Ivanka realizes she committed social suicide when she was heavily involved during her father’s tumultuous time in office. When Donald first announced his 2016 candidacy, Ivanka didn’t think her father had much of a chance of capturing the White House, so she played along. Once he became president, she got actively involved, hoping to be a calming influence on the vortex of craziness he created. Ivanka recently announced that she’s NOT going to play active part in her father‘s 2024 presidential campaign, because she’s trying to reclaim her social standing in New York! One by one she’s been slowly reaching out to former friends, trying to give her side of the story, and offering her apologies for any of her missteps. She’s in a tough place, because she loves her dad, but she really misses her glamour social life. An insider says that some friends are receptive to rekindling their friendships, but others still refuse to give her the time of day.

Genuine friendships between heterosexual men and women are relatively rare these days, but it’s clear that Julia Roberts and George Clooney have the real thing. Julia was set to talk about award recipient George at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington DC and she connived with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to have THIS satin gown designed by Jeremy Scott at Moschino. It has framed headshots of George from the very beginning of his career to now, all over it. A brilliant idea from one true friend to another. Julia describes George as “a gentleman and a playmate.”

We happen to have a high opinion of Jennifer Aniston and think she’s one of the most decent, down to earth, and amiable women in Hollywood. Her interview in Allure covered a lot of her feelings about intrusive media, and her frustrating attempts to get pregnant. She DID leave out one important fact. Jen actually DID get pregnant (with husband Brad Pitt) before the 8th episode of Friends. Writers hastily wrote a pregnancy into the plot for Rachel (Ross was the “dad”) as Jennifer’s tummy grew. But months later, Rachel’s tummy disappeared for a Halloween show, and the tummy came and went for the next 12 months. What happened was, Jennifer had a heartbreaking MISCARRIAGE after just a few months and because of that, writers had continuity problems – frantically trying to patch together storylines. It was a VERY sad time for Jen, but she went on with the series for two more seasons. After that, she and Brad split up.

Matthew Perry, 53, hasn’t worked for at least the last five years, and every time we’ve seen photos of him they were far from flattering. He looked unshaven and sometimes unkempt in pajama-like clothing. It’s common knowledge that he’s been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, but maybe now he’s finally gotten a grip on it. While he wasn’t acting, he was actually writing a book, and that’s a GOOD thing. He finally finished his memoir called Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing – coming out Nov 1. He talks about his “lost love,” (who could that be?) his darkest days, and behind-the-scenes Friends stories – with plenty of humor. Sounds like a best seller…

It was just last summer that we saw those dreadful photos of Matthew Perry looking overweight, disheveled, and chain-smoking, wobblily visiting a medical building with his “sober coach.” (He has a history of addiction to methadone, vicoden, methamphetamines, and alcohol) He also had those whiskers that make many men look like transients. Magically, in December he announced that he was engaged to 29 year old literary manager Molly Hurwitz. He has also managed to pull himself together enough to film the Friends reunion and right now he’s filming Don’t Look Up with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. His fans are concerned about his appearance on the Friends reunion – if he’s smart he’ll shave off that stubble ASAP. But WHY is he selling his own collection of hoodys and t-shirts? The hoody he’s wearing in the photo above is $44.99, by the way…
Little known fact: Matthew Perry’s stepfather is Dateline’s Keith Morrison!
