The cast of Friends refuses to go away. Despite spending a million years on NBC’s hit Thursday night comedy before saying farewell in 2004, the show’s signature cast continue popping up on our TV screens — and it appears they’ve got one more mini-reunion left in ‘em.
Lisa Kudrow, ex-Phoebe, has signed on to guest star alongside Busy Phillips and former Friend Courteney Cox on the ABC comedy Cougar Town, an ABC spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
“If it all works out, she’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though the doctor is mean to me,” Courteney says of the guest spot, which is expected to air early next year. “She’s the best in town at what she does and I become addicted.”
The pairing of Lisa and Courteney will be the second time the two have reunited for a project in recent months. In June, Courteney played the part of a psychic on Lisa’s Internet series, “Web Therapy.”
Lisa Kudrow has resurrected “Smelly Cat” for charity! The actress best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay on the long-running NBC sitcom Friends played her signature song from the iconic sitcom during an appearance at the “Rock A Little, Feed A Lot” Benefit Concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles Tuesday night.
Apparently, the poor cat still stinks and we have no idea what they’re feeding it.

Apparently Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox Arquette, and Jennifer Aniston were all spotted dining at Il Sole last night; Lisa and Courtney were chowing down with some other friends (not Friends), but Jennifer was several tables away, having a meal with a mystery man. No one knows who he was or whether it was a date, and no photos were taken because Jen spotted cameras and slipped out the back before she got caught on film.
Were they all there by coincidence? Or were the Friends checking out Jen’s new man and waiting to give the thumbs-up/thumbs-down?
Former Friends star Lisa Kudrow and her producing partner, Dan Bucatinsky, have signed a two-year TV development deal with her old employers at NBC.
Under the pact, NBC Universal Television Studio will get the first crack at the duo’s comedy and drama projects, moving Kudrow and Bucatinsky’s 3-year-old production venture Is or Isn’t Entertainment from its original home at Warner Bros. TV.
“Lisa and Dan have an incredibly sophisticated and distinctive taste,” said Shelley McCrory, senior vice president for comedy series at NBC Universal TV. “They are a great talent magnet, and they are very prolific. She is a great performer and producer, and he is a terrific writer, so the two are a great team.”
While the deal is for Kudrow and Bucatinsky’s services as producers, Kudrow is said to be open to starring in a project the two develop if the right one comes along.
