Kudrow no Friend on Cox’s new show

Friday, Dec 11, 2009

Lisa Kudrow reunites with her Friends co-star Courteney Cox in her new TV show – but plays a nasty character.

The 46-year-old actress – who played dippy hippy Phoebe Buffay in Friends – will play mean dermatologist Dr Amy Evans in Cougar Town, who Courteney’s character Jules visits despite her harsh bedside manner as she is such a good doctor.

According to The Sun, Lisa gives Courteney’s face a good prodding before injecting her Botox.

Executive producer Bill Lawrence said: “They didn’t want to play friends.

“Lisa plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but Courteney goes to her because she’s the best.

“The sight of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch.”

The blonde star is returning the favour after Courteney made a cameo on her internet TV series Web Therapy as an internet psychic.

Cougar Town launches in the UK next March on Living. Lisa’s episode airs in the US in January.

First Look: Kudrow & Cox Reunite on Cougar Town

Friday, Dec 4, 2009

There will be something conspicuously missing when Friends costar Lisa Kudrow guests on Courteney Cox’s ABC sitcom, Cougar Town, on Jan. 6: friendship.

“They didn’t want to play friends,” says executive producer Bill Lawrence, who quickly came up with a different role for Kudrow. “She plays a dermatologist who is a horrible, horrible person, but [Cox] goes to her because she’s the best. The [sight] of them playing people who dislike each other intensely was very funny for me to watch.”

If the execution is half as funny as the set-up, I think this is going to be a winner. What do you think? Excited to see the friends morph into enemies?

Neve Campbell talks returning to Scream 4 with Cox-Arquette

Wednesday, Nov 25, 2009

In a recent interview with Blackbook magazine,Neve Campbell makes a short mention of Courteney and returning for Scream 4

So you don’t think you are in any danger of becoming the next Jamie Lee Curtis of the shock-horror world?
Being the next Jamie would be fine! (laughs) In fact, we start shooting Scream 4 in mid-April. I’m so happy that those of us still “alive” from 1, 2 and 3 like David (Arquette) and Courtney (Cox) have already signed up to take part.

Did you all stay in touch after the trilogy had wrapped?
Oh, yes. Completely. I haven’t spoken to them in a while. I’m sure it took a while to convince them to take part [in the picture], especially because they’re now a very happy family ,and of course, it was a long journey for them. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun, and a lot like going back to summer camp.
