Phoebe at 40?

The rumor is that Lisa Kudrow will join Courtney Cox for a November sweeps episode of Cougar Town.

According to TV Guide, it’s not a done deal — but it’s close. Just don’t expect Kudrow to be another cougar. Instead, she’ll guest star as a dermatologist that Jules (Cox) can’t stop seeing — even though she’s got quite a mean streak.

Kudrow isn’t the only former Friend on the star’s wishlist. She would also like to see Matthew Perry play one of her boyfriends. Wouldn’t that go against the show’s premise? Of course, she’s also got her eye on best buddy Jennifer Aniston.

Cougar Town features Cox as a 40-year-old single mom with a 17-year-old. It also stars Christa Miller and Busy Philipps. It airs every Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

Actress-comedian Rachael Harris (Fat Actress, In the Motherhood) is relocating to Cougar Town to play the potentially recurring role of Shanna, Courteney Cox’s judgmental nemesis, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Wait, there’s more!

Ferris Bueller’s BFF, Alan Ruck — who’s currently recurring on FlashForward — has been cast as her husband, Frank. Look for Frank to develop a bit of a crush on Cox’s character, further inflaming the Jules-Shanna rivalry.

In case you didn’t hear, the Bill Lawrence-produced Cougar Town was just handed a full-season pick-up from ABC.

Courteney Coxhas admitted that the character she plays on new show, Cougar Town is her favourite yet.

The former Friends star plays recently divorced ‘cougar’ Jules Cobb on the show. She told Mercury News that she likes “playing this character more than any character I’ve ever played.”

She stated: “I don’t think I’ve ever starred in something where I really am in every scene. I hope this show is a huge hit and that people love it.“Because I like playing this character more than any character I’ve ever played. This show says what I think.”
