HIS “FRIENDS” WORRY ABOUT MATTHEW PERRY

Matthew Perry, 50, has been looking a little rough around the edges lately, but things might be improving. Perry is the one that his Friends costars worry about the most. He’s had substance abuse problems and health problems lately and hasn’t been looking his best. He recently split with a 29 year old girlfriend and seemed depressed about it. Or maybe he was depressed about social isolation. But this week he was seen in Malibu with a new woman – but we can’t tell if he’s happy because of the mask.

COURTENEY COX OR MONICA GELLER?

Courteney Cox looks like she identifies in a big way with her character Monica Geller on Friends. Remember – Monica was known for her obsession with cleanliness and for being a neat freak. Her apartment was always spotless, and she cringed if anyone made a mess. Courtney herself was a bit of a controlling neat freak – she was known to barge in and clean her costars dressing rooms when she thought they needed it! Today Courteney and her assistant shopped for a few things at Whole Foods and Courteney wore a black facemask, glasses, a hat with a plastic shield and plastic gloves! Serious coverage…

FRIENDS REUNION: SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR

Seems like the cast of Friends has been dropping hints about their upcoming reunion for YEARS now – they finally agreed to do it and be the big draw when HBO Max launches its streaming service in May. The reunion was scheduled to film on March 23 – 24 on the show’s original Warner Bros set, BUT coronavirus shut them down. Bad news for HBO Max’s debut, which will go on with Friends reruns instead. The reunion WILL be rescheduled and cast members definitely are up for it – they’re getting paid almost 3 million each for the special– remember, during the last season of Friends they each earned a historic million dollars an episode.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: DO WHAT I SAY, NOT WHAT I DO!

Does Arnold Schwarzenegger realize that he is sending a very strange mixed message? He had sweatshirts made picturing him and his miniature horse and donkey that say “DON’T BE AN ASS – STAY INSIDE.” Of course, that’s NOT what Arnold is doing himself. Every day he is outside riding his bike or motorcycle – today he rode with son Patrick and a friend. And NO sign of gloves or masks! Afterward they all stopped at the Country Mart in Brentwood for coffee and a snack. Do we see THREE ASSES?

MATTHEW PERRY NEEDS MORE THAN A MANICURE

Matthew Perry, 49, was walking around New York yesterday looking down on his luck. If we didn’t know how wealthy his is, we’d feel sorry for him. Actually, the Friends star has been having a rough time – last year he spent three months in a hospital recovering from a gastrointestinal perforation. He’s had drug and alcohol problems in the past, and Perry has made several hospital visits recently. He was reported to be in the company of a “sober coach.”

BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS – NOTHING MORE!

So nice to hear that Brad Pitt, 55, turned up at Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday party at the Sunset Tower hotel last night – just don’t jump to any conclusions! Neither Brad nor Jen are interested in reigniting any kind of romance – they’re both older and wiser and see no reason NOT to be friends. Remember, it was Jennifer who ended the marriage – because they just weren’t all that compatible – she liked to go out and socialize, and Brad preferred to lounge at home and smoke weed. (Sounds kinda similar to Angelina’s complaints) And remember, Brad and Jen still share a lot of the same friends, so it’s easier for everyone if they don’t have to choose sides… Evidently the birthday party was a success!

EVA LONGORIA GOT A LITTLE HELP FROM HER FRIENDS

Eva Longoria’s Walk of Fame star ceremony today was quite revealing. Pregnant Eva has more than her share of Hollywood friends! Besides Ricky Martin and Mario Lopez, Melanie Griffith, Reese Witherspoon, Felicity Huffman, Anna Faris, Kerry Washington and Victoria Beckham (above) and more, turned up to wish her well and Eva was delighted. Most of Eva’s friends are WOMEN and this is significant because not all actresses have a lot of female friends. Eva’s friends were not too busy to share her joy, and that indicates what kind of person Eva is…

GEORGE CLOONEY HAS NO FEMALE FRIENDS

We were as startled as you were to hear that George Clooney gifted thirteen of his male friends with a million dollars in 2013. He invited them all to dinner and gave each one designer luggage filled with $20 bills! An incredible gesture – but let’s analyze this. George said many of his longtime friends –“the boys” -did not achieve the success that he did, so he wanted to relieve their financial worries. Randi Gerber revealed this news – apparently he was among the lucky 13. But he was ALREADY a millionaire, thanks to his entertainment business – bars and lounges worldwide. Were the other recipients really that hard up? MOST IMPORTANT, George didn’t know even ONE WOMAN in his life deserving of such a gift? Really? Not even a loyal publicist or agent? Amal was not in the picture yet, so he didn’t eliminate women because of her. There’s no doubt that George is a nice guy, but this proves that even nice guys don’t help women…

GIOVANNI RIBISI IS A BIG DEAL IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD

140013PCN_Ribisi01cut

Looks like Giovanni Ribisi, 40, has a new girlfriend. Ribisi divorced his model wife Agyness Deyn earlier this year after a short two and a half year marriage. She moved back to London. You may recall, he played Phoebe’s hilarious brother Frank on Friends and he’s currently in “Ted 2.” Giovanni and his new companion had breakfast The Oaks Gourmet in Los Feliz, conveniently located right across the street from the Scientology Celebrity Center. Odds are Giovanni’s date is a Scientologist also. Ribisi and other famous Scientologists (like Kirstie Alley) tend to live close to the center where they enjoy red carpet treatment.

“FRIENDS” – GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Once in awhile, living in Los Angeles has its disadvantages. We missed out on the opening of the replica of the Central Perk pop-up coffee shop in Soho – it was opened to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Friends. (Of course Friends was actually FILMED in Los Angeles.) Fans have NOT forgotten – there was a line so long outside it was compared to the cronut experience. Inside the coffee haven there was a lot of memorabilia from the show on display and fans could photograph each other sitting on the same velvet couch that Jennifer Aniston sat on. Fittingly, Gunther from the TV series, presided over the opening day.
