Matthew Perry Is Still There For You

BuzzSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:30:29 -0700

Matt LeBlanc isn't the only Friend who's heading back to TV - his former on-screen roommate Matthew Perry has a new sitcom of his own in the works.

The comedy revolves around a narcissistic manager of a sports arena who starts rethinking his life plan when he turns 40. (Is it just me or does this sound like it may have been inspired by Perry's most recent movie, 17 Again?) Clearly this is a pet project of Perry's: he's set to star in, co-write, and executive produce the single-camera comedy, which will be produced by Sony Pictures TV.

After Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was canceled, I was sad that Perry disappeared for a while. I think he shines the brightest on the small screen, even if his new character doesn't sound as much fun as my favorite friend Chandler Bing. Are you excited about this news?

Do You Want to See a Friends Movie?

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

A Friends spinoff movie appears to be closer than ever after comments made over the weekend, by James Michael-Tyler who played Gunther in the hit show. He said, "Friends: The Movie is definitely on. I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen." With the success of the Sex and the City movie, and the second one on its way, it must be tempting to the cast although as Lisa Kudrow pointed out, the shows had very different formats. Still, she says she remains open to the prospect of it, fifteen years later. I'd like to know if you would like to see Chandler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe reunited on the big screen? Let me know!

Jennifer Garner couldn't stop laughing at last night's LA premiere of The Invention of Lying. She was joined by costars Rob Lowe and Ricky Gervais, who showcased his infamous giggle. Earlier yesterday Jennifer made an appearance on The Jay Leno Show, where she made husband Ben Affleck proud by successfully reciting the starting lineup for the Boston Red Sox. She also endured some jokes about the Sox's rivalry with the Yankees, though Jennifer politely declined to bring Ben home a photo of Derek Jeter - check out the video below.

Ryan Reynolds Has a Few Words to Share

PopSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:30:08 -0700

Ryan Reynolds took the stage at Club Largo in LA last night to do a reading for Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words. He was joined by other celebs like Matthew Perry to read from memoirs of fellow Hollywood stars that may not have been intended as funny but take on a new meaning when read aloud to the audience. Ryan and his big smile provided lots of laughs, and we're excited to see his sense of humor this weekend in The Proposal.

Matthew Perry Is a Closet Gamer, Plays With His Pants Down

GeekSugar — Fri, 22 May 2009 07:33:42 -0700

I always did love Chandler the most: former Friends star Matthew Perry has been making the rounds lately for his role in 17 Again as an old Zac Efron, but he's got my attention for an entirely different reason: He's a huge gamer, obsessed with the Wii game Klonoa.

After mentioning that he was playing Klonoa a lot, Perry addressed his flock on Twitter with a funny and only slightly disturbing tweet:

Many of you have asked what klonoa game I am playing. It's the new one on the wii. I'm at level six. I play with my pants around my ankles.

And thank you for sharing.

Zac and Matthew Turn 17 Again With the Help of Some Friends

Molly — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Zac Efron continued his run as man of the hour at last night's LA premiere of 17 Again. This time he had some of his friends out to share his moment, including girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, the Jonas Brothers, costars Leslie Mann, Michelle Trachtenberg and more. Matthew Perry looked fairly youthful himself beside his younger self Efron - see the resemblance? It's been quite the Zac-attack around here these days, but it sounds like you are on board as his acting grows up and enjoyed his SNL gig as he navigates the best way to become a man in Hollywood.

To see more from the premiere including Hunter Parrish, Melora Hardin, Amanda Bynes, Seth Green and others just read more.

Not Coming to a TV Near You: L Word Spin-Off, Matthew Perry

BuzzSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:30:36 -0700

Bad news for folks who were hoping to see The L Word's Alice in prison or Matthew Perry getting foul-mouthed: Showtime has passed on both the L Word spin-off and Perry's comedy The End of Steve.

Steve featured Perry as a bitter afternoon TV talk show host, with a script co-written by Perry and Peter Tolan. Showtime once thought the duo would be "a twisted match made in heaven," but apparently the final product didn't seem right for the network. Word is that the show is still looking for a home on other cable networks, though. Meanwhile, Showtime's pass is the end of the road for the L Word spin-off, which would have featured Leisha Hailey's Alice in prison with a new group of characters.

Two pilots are still possibilities for Showtime: Possible Side Effects, a drama about a family in the pharmaceutical industry starring Josh Lucas and Ronna and Beverly, a comedy based on YouTube sketches that Weeds creator Jenji Kohan is developing for TV.

I was excited for Matthew Perry's project, so I'm bummed that it's not making it to Showtime, but I'm still crossing my fingers for Ronna and Beverly. What about you? Are any of these shows you would want to see?

Movie Preview: Efron and Perry in 17 Again

BuzzSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 05:30:21 -0700

Sure, 17 Again looks an awful lot like Big in reverse (or one half of Freaky Friday), but you know what? The trailer looks really cute. Matthew Perry plays a down-on-his-luck dad who gets the chance to be 17 years old again (this is where Zac Efron comes in). So, he enrolls in his kids' high school and befriends them. He learns that his daughter is dating a nasty boy and tries to give her advice.

The whole cast is super charming, and I'm actually most impressed with Efron who does funny really well - but without trying too hard or making it awkward. 17 Again opens April 17 (nice date/title match-up there). To check out the trailer, read more.

First Glance: 17 Again - See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

17 Again - a new comedy with a Big-like storyline - has a great cast including Zac Efron, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, Michelle Trachtenberg and Hunter Parrish.

Matthew plays Mike O'Donnell, a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to, who wishes he could go back to high school and change it. Something magical occurs and he wakes up in his 17 year old body (as Zac) to relive his youth.

I really think this looks like a fun family comedy (out April 2009 in the UK), but I'd love to know what you think! So watch and let me know, will you see it? Or will you skip it?
