Awful! Awful! Awful!

friendspic.jpg

The British media reports that a Friends movie is in the works.

Apparently, the success of the Sex and the City movie has inspired the crew to get back together and make a flick.

Sounds like wishful thinking to us!

A source says, "Jennifer (Aniston), Courteney (Cox) and the rest of the cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances. The box office success of Sex And The City has really got their wheels spinning about how a Friends film could be just as big, if done right. Timing and the script are really important, but now that Courteney and Jen both have production companies, they can potentially get very involved in those decisions."

The SATC movie promised sexy glitz, glamour and couture on a grander scale than what we saw on TV.

Friends on the big screen sounds like a big yawn fest.

And, we're surprised that Maniston is game.

Hasn't she been trying to distance herself from her Friends character Rachel?

Well, an insider reveals, "As the biggest star of the Friends franchise, Jennifer can't help but look at what's happened with Sarah Jessica Parker and the Sex And The City film and be a little jealous. What's held back a Friends movie so far is that people were worried that Jennifer had simply become too famous to play Rachel again. But the truth is that Jennifer is finally willing to do it, and she'd love to work with that whole team of actors and producers again."

So…'Rachel' is the only thing the Man can do.

Look at where her 'film career' has gone!

What do you think? Do you think Friends the movie sounds lame, too?

      I think millions of people want to see it.
      You calling the show a "yawn fest" proves how spiteful you can be.
      Jennifer Aniston is successful… Well… She's done more than you.

      Are you related to Paris Hilton?

      Why do you have to the hate? Friends was one of the most successful shows ever people are still buying the seasons and watching the reruns on TV. It would prob do better than sex and the city because it was a on a network everyone had so more people could have watched it…don't be so opinionated

      Re: I.Z. – You are a complete fucktard! "Knocked Up" starred Katherine Heigl you moron. Not your dear Jennifer Anuston. Anuston starred in "Rumor Has It", "Derailed" & "The Good Girl". Remember those films? Didn't think so.

      I would watch it!!! Loved Friends, watched all the time, and watch re-runs now and then. I don't understand your hatred towards JA. I am a fan of both her and Angelina. They both have good and bad movies. They are 2 very different women. I think its funny how you praise Angelina like she's some god—and she was a homewrecker—anyway you want to slice it, she was a homewrecker, but yet you dog Rose and others that are homewreckers. Please explain this. I like Angelina–I think she's sexy, I don't get why you always have to side with one or the other. Anyways, I would definitely watch a Friends movie. I think Jennifer makes good movies—always non-chalant funny movies. Only a few of her movies I don't like.
      Quit being a hyprocrite and get a life!!!!

      i think it would be awesome =) i miss friends. there's a reason why it lasted ten seasons, plus the audience demographic is so much more diverse and larger than what sex and the city had. can't wait!!

      520

      Why be so bitchy about every possible rumour PH?

      Friends was a massive series and there are masses of people who will be ecstatic they may be doing a movie (I am one of them).

      Just because you are being a tit over it and proably won't go and see it, won't make a difference to all those that will.

      I used to enjoy reading this site but then you are over exaggerating all the bad things about every story.



    21. 521

      I would actually be rather excited to see a Friends movie as long as it was handled properly. I loved the show, I think all the actors on it were very talented, the writers were geniuses… Lisa Kudrow is my favorite. I love her. So yeah, I'd be all for it.

      527

      i would LOOOOOVE a friends movie!!!!! i KNOW that more ppl than you realzie would see it, Perez. I do love you, Perez - I obsessively read your blog, and also brag about it hourly…but, trying to "manipulate" people into saying they don't want to see it by saying: "what do you think? do you think the friends movie sounds lame too?" lol i mean..pathetic….you don't like Jennifer Anniston, fine, I'm not saying personality-wise she's my favorite either. BUT Friends IS!!! I STILL watch the same re-runs all the time.

      So, cut out being bitter. It's not SATC, it's not glamorous or glitzy (which is awesome - but that is the trademark of SATC). Friends has a different catch and different story line, AND I think a movie would be awesome. BUT…I really don't think the movie should extend so far into the future that it's hard to relate to the characters, and so that it appears that the dynamic between them changed. That's what I wasn't a fan of in the SATC movie, to be honest.

      531

      I think what's lame is they only want to do it because sex and the city was so "successful." I loved the show and i'd still be interested in seeing them in a movie it just seems incredibly pathetic to be followers when they are one of the most globally successful shows on television. I wish the motivation was to get back together and make something great, instead of "let's see how much money we can make off this deal."

      533

      Has any of them worked at all since their racist little show went off the air? I guess Jen did a couple of very forgettable sit-com type movies. And, the Courtney had a cable show which went belly up. And I guess Joey made a Chimp movie or two. Lisa K. did a couple of Indies which weren't bad but only 267 people saw them and Chandler has just gotten fat. And Ross, what can I say, one of the worst actors around. I suggest that they just take the tens of millions they made off of friends, wise up to the fact that a show like "Friends" will only come around once in a life time and stop wasting our time making these pathetic little movies

      You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Granted you do only report on celeb gossip and not on public interest so I can't blame you for being retarded on this issue. I also agree you are very hypocritical with the whole rose vs. jen issue. It would beehove you to research the fan base of FRIENDS compared to SATC (I love both!) so you don't piss off anymore of your readers. If this JA hatin' keeps up I will have to rely on TMZ for my celeb news from now on.

      Re: :) – Right on cue, at number 3! Why is it, that irrational and vengeful Jenloonatics have to bring Angelina Jolie into EVERY discussion about Jennifer Aniston? Is it because they KNOW that Jen has so little going for her that they cannot support her, without making her look like a victim by dragging a stranger into a topic on Aniston? PA-thetic! By the way little child, there is no such thing as a homewrecker. When you grow up and experience an ADULT relationship, you will realize that NO ONE can 'wreck' a 'home', but the 2, and ONLY TWO, in the marriage. Jennifer Aniston herself confirmed that there was no affair that lead to her and Brad's split. Why isn't JEN'S OWN WORDS, good enough for you? Are you calling Jennifer Aniston a liar?

    68. Cokie says – reply to this


      568

      Typical VINDICTIVE and JEALOUS Jen. Only does something because she is jealous of SJP's success. Didn't even want to have anything to do with her ex-co stars, now that she is 'famous movie actress'. The only reason she is 'lowering' herself to give the other 5 the time of day by working with them, is because she can smell fame and success. The other Friends weren't good enough for her anymore, since she went 'Hollywood'. They are only good enough now, because she wants to be the next SJP. She is so transparent and false.

      Re: Patti – Attention Patti, sweetie, more people worship Angelina Jolie, than Jennifer Aniston. Check the polls, check the forums. A bleach blonde pot-smoking, chain-smoking alcho self-absorbed child and charity hating bimbo who referred to her own mother, who carried her for 9 months (mores the pity) and brought her into this world, as a 'disease'? Or a well-grounded well-respected international star and humanitarian, who goes to war torn sites on the ground, who is a UN Goodwill Ambassador and who mixes with Congress, Diplomats, and the world's movers and shakers! Yep, easy decision for anyone with any morals and a brian who thinks and RATIONALIZES. Aniston is worthless superficial shit. Jolie is internationally respected and riding a wave of ENORMOUS popularity. Sorry honey, it must be hell reading comments that show what a lowlife bit of worthless shit Aniston is. It must be so hard to defend the charity-hating superficial cheap bimbo. Jolie fans don't even have to try. Jolie on TIMES magazine. Jolie, the GW UN Ambassador. Nuff said. You'll never convince anyone that a bit of shit like Aniston has any worth, any more than Paris Hilton does or Britney Spears does. Aniston is for the superficial tweens and teenage bimbos. Jolie, is for those who have family and moral values and those who support substance, over plastic malibu pot-smoking bleach blonde sluts.
