| 11/03/01 - Jennifer Aniston's husband Brad Pitt has recorded his much anticipated guest spot on Friends - and the role is far from glamorous. Reports have been rife about his appearance on the hit sitcom, but according to crew members on the set, the hunk recorded his spot this week. The episode will air at the end of November but hunky Pitt won't be breaking any hearts on the show. Rather than smooching up with his real-life-wife Aniston for a romantic lead role, Pitt has opted to take a role as Ross' geeky high school friend and will even don a fat suit for a flashback sequence. |
| 10/02/01 - Jennifer Aniston Too Tired For Two Jobs. Aniston is never going to take on two jobs at the same time again - because it's too exhausting. The Friends star, who is married to Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt, says overlapping the filming of Friends with filming a movie made her realize that she's just not cut out for multi-tasking and she's determined to stick to one job at a time in future. Aniston says, "The quality of life, it's very important. You know, even just finishing this job I did at the end of Friends that was called The Good Girl, I was pulling double duty again and I was just like, 'eek.' As amazing as it was, it was so exhausting, I felt like something was going to suffer. I'm not a workaholic like that." |
| Last Year of Friends? On The Rosie O'Donnell' Show season premiere, Friends star David Schwimmer was asked whether this was the final year of the NBC comedy. "I don't know," he hedged, adding with a smirk that since this was the last year of Rosie, maybe Friends should end as well. This comes on the heels of Jennifer Aniston's recent comments to TV Guide Online, in which she seemed to indicate that the sitcom was in its final season. "If I think about it, it chokes me up to realize that this will be over," she said. "It's been a pretty intense eight years for this group of people, experiencing a lot together. It's a major crossroads we're at together in our lives. So it's very, very sad."? |
| 09/10/01 - Audiences thumbed their noses at critics again over the weekend, making Universal's The Musketeer, which reviewers gleefully sliced up on Friday, the No. 1 film at the box office. The movie, which reportedly cost upwards of $60 million to make, earned only $10.7 million. The No. 2 slot was occupied by Sony's Two Can Play that Game, which wasn't even shown to critics. It earned $8.3 million. Another opener, Warner's Rock Star, which nabbed good notices for its star, Mark Wahlberg, took the third slot with only $6.2 million. [The result was a major disappointment -- particularly since many analysts had forecast that it would open at No. 1. One of them, Art Rockwell of Rockwell Capital Management, told Bloomberg News: "Based on the stars in it {the film also stars Jennifer Aniston}, I thought it would do OK for a rock film. ... Goes to show Mark Wahlberg isn't a stand-alone actor."] The top 12 films grossed an estimated $62.6 million, down 17 percent from last weekend but up 39 percent from the same week a year ago. |

| 01/27/01 - Seinfield´s actor Jason Alexander will guest star in this Thursday Episode of Friends. His appearance is another NBC move in order to keep Friends viewers glued to the show. Other names that sound to guest star are: Elizabeth Hurley, Victoria Beckham, Robert Redford, Katie Holmes, etc. May be they are only rumours but I do hope some of them guest star because extra actors give the show real funny scenes. |
| 09/11/00 - Unfortunately "Friends" didn´t win the Emmy award in the Best Comedy Series category (Will and Grace won). Neither Jeniffer Aniston (Rachel) nor Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe) could make the Best Supporting Actress in Comedy Series award.

I didn´t particularly like his part in the show, but is a prize related to "Friends" so I´m glad about it. I hope "Friends" makes it next year!!!!!! |
