Courtney Cox’s old “Friends” castmate, Lisa Kudrow, will make a cameo on Cox’s new ABC sitcom, “Cougar Town”, which airs Wednesdays at 9:30. The show is performing well in the ratings and has been picked up by ABC for a new season, so it doesn’t particularly need a boost. Kudrow could benefit from the appearance [...]

Lisa Kudrow , whom I’ve crushed on since she kissed Rachel and said, “I’ve had better,” has always been a friend to the LGBT community. And her latest project is no exception. Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky , who worked with her on The Comeback, are developing a comedy for Showtime based on the book Why the Long Face ? by Craig Chester . The TV series, Rapture , is the story of...

The show is based on Craig Chester’s memoir Why the Long Face?, which follows his struggle with his homosexuality within a Christian family. Now word yet if Lisa will star, but the show is tentatively titled Rapture [...]

A Friends star changes career direction by making an inside-showbiz satire for a pay-cable network: in the TV industry, they call it "pulling a full Kudrow." OK, they don't, but they should. (The variation—making an overserious inside-showbiz drama for NBC, is referred to as "a full Perry.") First Lisa Kudrow made HBO's The Comeback; now [...]

We sat down with and star Lisa Kudrow yesterday (look for her EW Pop Culture Personality Test on Friday), and naturally, the subject eventually turned to that beloved TV show of hers. We speak, of course, of Friends The Comeback. Like Kudrow, we’re thinking it’s time to revisit that short-lived HBO series on DVD: Her brilliant performance as Valerie Cherish, a sitcom has-been getting a...

Back in 2005, Lisa Kudrow followed her 10-year stint on Friends by starring in The Comeback , a flawed but funny HBO series about a former sitcom star straining to make—guess what'—a comeback. Her would-be comeback vehicle: The sexy sitcom Room and Bored , in which Kudrow's character is cast as the horny, tracksuit-clad upstairs neighbor Aunt Sassy . Which brings us to 2009, when Courtney...

I find it hard to believe that Friends debuted 15 years ago. While that makes ME feel old, I am rather impressed with how one half of the cast has fared since the season finale. That's right, three of them. The female friends. Because let's face it...have you seen anything stellar from the likes of David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc or Matthew Perry recently? The reason I'm revisiting this show and topic...

The second season of "Web Therapy," Lisa Kudrow's sublime improvisational series, is now online. This time around the Webby-award-winning show features Fiona Wallice sitting down for her patented three-minute therapy sessions (the traditional 50-minute style brings up "too many feelings") with former co-star Courteney Cox, Steven Weber and Alan Cumming. The season premiere features...

Adam of Club Silencio here with another look at my favorite actresses and their distinguishing claims to fame. Dede: God. How does a woman get so bitter?

Some may never get their due respect; like a Sarah...
