Lisa Kudrow: Friends Reunion Movie a No Go

November 21, 2009

Lisa Kudrow — a.k.a. Phoebe — says that “it doesn’t look like” a ‘Friends’ reunion will ever happen. She says, “Everyone is busy!” And Kudrow says the holdup isn’t with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox or any of the actors– but the show’s original writer-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane. She said, ” I guess they don’t think it’s a good idea.” Kudrow is completely sold, either. She says: “It would be fun, but I don’t know. How? Why? Really?”

Lisa Kudrow to guest star on Courtney Cox’s “Cougar Town”

October 29, 2009

in More Scoop!

NY Post – FIVE years later, and they’re all still “Friends.”

Lisa Kudrow will be returning to TV to guest star on Courteney Cox’s new comedy, “Cougar Town,” for a mini-reunion with her former costar.

But she won’t be reprising her sweet and flaky “Friends” role as Phoebe to Cox’s Monica.

Instead, she’ll play a “mean” dermatologist who treats Cox’s character, 40-something Jules Cobb, who prowls for younger men.

The episode is taping next month and will air sometime early in 2010.

But there’s one friend who won’t be making a TV comeback just yet. Over the weekend, rumors surfaced that Jennifer Aniston was preparing to host a talk show on Oprah Winfrey’s soon-to-air cable network, OWN.

Now, Aniston’s reps are saying the reports are “absolutely false” and that she’ll stick with movies, for now.

First Rosario Dawson, Now Lisa Kudrow Topline a new web series

Hollywood Reporter – Lisa Kudrow & Lexus are making an ambitious foray into online entertainment with former “Friends” star Lisa Kudrow in the driver’s seat.

The carmaker is launching an Internet-only branded channel Tuesday stocked with a full slate of original programming headlined by Kudrow in a shortform comedy series in which she plays a nutty shrink.

The choice of the Emmy-winning Kudrow for the lead role in “Web Therapy” should bring attention to what Lexus is calling L Studio, available at LStudio.com.

But the creation of a marketer-branded broadband channel also is bound to get attention given its only precedent: Bud.TV, a similar venture Budweiser kicked off after the Super Bowl in 2006 only to watch it fail after a reported $30 million investment.

“We learned from some of the mistakes that they made in the beginning,” said Sandy Blanchard, owner experience manager at Lexus’ marketing division, who oversees L Studio.

Blanchard would not divulge the budget for L Studio but made clear that it is not in the ballpark of $30 million. “We were pleasantly surprised as to what we were able to accomplish with what the budget was and the fact that we have people of the caliber of Lisa Kudrow,” she said.

In “Therapy,” Kudrow plays Fiona Wallice, a psychotherapist who conducts absurdly abridged three-minute sessions via the Internet that do little to help her clients. She juggles five different clients in 15 episodes, including those played by Bob Balaban, Jane Lynch, Rashida Jones, Tim Bagley and Dan Bucatinsky.

“This is the kind of idea that’s just meant for the Web,” said Kudrow, who wrote and produced “Therapy” with Bucatinsky, her partner at Is or Isn’t Prods. Don Roos, who directed Kudrow in films including “The Opposite of Sex,” directed all episodes of “Therapy.”

Kudrow isn’t Hollywood’s only representative on L Studio. “Sex and the City” writer-producer Amy B. Harris joins the site in October with a scripted series of her own, “Puppy Love,” in which she examines the relationships between people and their dogs. Harris recruited many other “Sex” writers to contribute to the 40-episode series. The cast includes Famke Janssen, Janel Moloney and Heather Burns.
