Creators of the iconic show Friends have broken their silence on whether there are plans for a reboot after years of rumors, ahead of the sitcom's 30th anniversary on Sept. 22.  While there doesn't appear to be an immediate plan to make a new series, there has been several discussions on what a reboot might look like, almost 30 years on from the show first aired on NBC in 1994. Kevin Bright, Martha Kauffman and executive producer David Crain, spoke to Today on Friday and revealed that a rebooted version of the beloved series has been talked about after receiving interest from young fans. 

The adaptation of Terry Gilliam's cult classic film starred some huge Hollywood stars including Friends star Lisa Kudrow.

Easy A was an instant success when it hit the cinemas in 2010, grossing over $75 million worldwide. The teen comedy, directed by Will Gluck, follows Olive Pendergast (Emma Stone) a high school student who lies about losing her virginity and is labeled as promiscuous by her classmates. Olive then becomes a self-proclaimed 'Easy A' and offers fake sexual favors to other students for money.

This star turned heads over the weekend at the GBK x Mend Luxury Lounge in Beverly Hills before the Emmy Awards. The 41-year-old looker is normally dressed in multi colors and has on big wigs. But at this event, held at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the luminary went for a Hollywood bombshell look with blonde hair and a skintight pale pink dress.

Matt LeBlanc made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles on Friday.  The Friends star, 57 - who once gave Lisa Kudrow key advice on perfecting her iconic Phoebe character - appeared in good spirits during his visit to a car showroom in Van Nuys, just outside the city.

Lisa Kudrow is recalling the behind-the-scenes help she had on mastering the character of Phoebe Buffay. The Golden Globe nominee, 61, credited her Friends co-star Matt LeBlanc with helping her through a bit of fatigue she had with her beloved character. She admitted on SiriusXM's Where Everybody Knows Your Name that it took 'if not a year and a half, maybe two seasons, before I felt like I had Phoebe down.'

Jennifer Aniston shared a birthday post for her Friends costar Lisa Kudrow on Tuesday. The Morning Show star, 55, took to her Insta Stories to post a flashback photo from their hit TV show Friends in the 1990s. Lisa was in a Supergirl outfit and Jennifer was in a strapless black dress with a dainty necklace.

Lisa Kudrow has confessed being fired from Frasier was 'devastating' and led to her fearing she was 'hopeless' in her now ionic role of Phoebe Buffay in Friends.   The actress, 61, was hired to play producer Roz Doyle back in 1993 opposite Kelsey Grammer in the title role, but she was given the boot before the pilot episode was filmed and replaced by Peri Gilpin. Lisa has now admitted losing such an important job was a huge setback and told the Smartless podcast how the director James the Burrows, who she would go on to work with on Friends, stopped a script run-though to declare 'this isn't working'

Lisa Kudrow admitted that she is still haunted by the studio audience's rapturous laughter while filming Friends, two decades after the series aired its final episode. While appearing on the podcast Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend , the actress, 60, explained why she disliked the sound of the live audience chuckling at her jokes. '[I was irritated] because they were laughing for too long. It wasn't that funny,' she explained to O'Brien. 'That's why. It wasn't an honest response, and it irritated me.' She continued: 'It's like, "now you're just ruining the timing of the rest of the show." Sometimes I would just look out if they'd been laughing too long, and go, "come on." Really angry.'

Conan, 61, and Lisa, 60, were in a relationship from 1988 until 1993 and were together when the Friends star filmed season one of the hit TV sitcom alongside Perry, who played the role of Chandler Bing. Recalling her early days of filming, O'Brien said to Kudrow: 'You started doing that show and you called me up and you were raving about...,' as she finished his sentence and blurted out: 'Matthew!' O'Brien continued: 'And you were saying, "he's so funny," and there was part of me that was... jealous.'

In many ways, the 1990s were the heyday of TV, with the likes of Friends, Sex And The City and The West Wing transforming the television landscpe as we knew it.

Lisa Kudrow said that an A-list star accidentally called her by the name of her character on the series Friends. The Emmy-winning actress, 60, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, explained the course of events when she was asked by guest host Anthony Anderson, 53, about if she is ever called by the name of her character on the enduring NBC comedy, Phoebe Buffay.

Lisa Kudrow appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday to promote her new Apple TV+ series Time Bandits. The 60-year-old wore an on-trend look consisting of navy blue pants with a blouse featuring a sheer collar and sleeves in cobalt blue. Guest host Anthony Anderson asked the Friends star if she ever gets called by her Friends character name Phoebe.'Oh my God! I just love this, I was at a party, a big party, and I was talking to Sandra Bullock, name-dropping, I have to, but it's true, and we were talking and she was like, "Well I guess you'll just have to talk to yourself Phoebe, about something," and she called me Phoebe!' 'But she caught herself,' Kudrow said with a laugh. 'She went, "What did I just do?"'

Lisa Kudrow is clarifying Jennifer Aniston 's recent comments. The 60-year-old addressed her former costar's sentiments that she ' hated' the way a live audience would laugh during jokes while filming Friends.

Lisa Kudrow has revealed she is rewatching Friends episodes to keep the memory of her late co-star Matthew Perry alive - eight months after his tragic death aged 54. Kudrow, 60, who played Phoebe Buffay alongside Perry's wisecracking Chandler Bing in the iconic show from 1994-2004 - said watching episodes allowed her to celebrate Matthew - after previously feeling 'too embarrassed' to watch herself.

My favourite drink as a child was Fanta. I was brought up in Australia, because my father was posted there as a Royal Marine. The minute he got leave, he would hire an Austin A40 and we'd drive off into the bush for hundreds of miles. I remember the heat being overwhelming - at least 40C - and my parents would let me drink orange Fanta in the back seat.

It's been 20 years (and one day) since the series finale of Friends aired and Courteney Cox is feeling nostalgic. On Monday, the Cougar Town actress, 59, shared a short video of a scene from the final episode on Instagram. 'It's been 20 years since the series finale of Friends,' the Scream star captioned the post of the last scene of the series. 'I don't know how we were able to act through all the tears. Forever grateful,' she wrote. In the scene, the cast, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry stood in Rachel's old apartment before Monica and Chandler left to go to their new home with their new baby.

The hugely popular comedy turned its six stars into household names as well as giving us 'The Rachel' - one of the world's most famous haircuts. In the USA over 52million tuned in to see how things would end for the gang while, in the UK, close to 9million watched as the last episode aired 10 years after the first. Today, Friends continues to be screened all over the world, attracting a new audience of Millennial and Gen Z viewers, with many picking up on its outdated attitudes and non-PC qualities.

Lisa Kudrow continued filming her upcoming Netflix series No Good Deed on Monday. All eyes were on Lisa, 60, as she shot a scene in the entryway of a home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hancock Park. For her costume, the Friends alum sported a teal button down, cropped blue jeans, and white sneakers.

The finale of Friends is about to turn 20-years-old. The last episode of the hit TV series ended on May 6, 2004 and had over 50m viewers. The show starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry.  But it is an awkward time for the cast as Perry died last year.

The surviving cast of Friends are bracing themselves to mark the 'bittersweet' 20th anniversary of the show's finale without Matthew Perry. A few days before Halloween last year, Matthew was found dead in his hot tub at home at the age of 54, reportedly having drowned. Over the years, he was open about his struggles with drugs and alcohol , and an autopsy ultimately revealed he had succumbed to 'acute effects of ketamine.'

Lisa Kudrow, a friend, screamed every inch of the blushing bride in a stunning white lace gown on set of her latest film, No Good Deed. The 60-year-old actress spent a day in Los Angeles filming a wedding scene with her character's husband-to-be, Ray Romano, on Valentine's Day. In addition to rocking a floor-length dress decorated with beads and sequins on the bodice, the mother-of-one, who has been happily married to Michel Stern since 1995, stunned her with a flowing veil tucked beneath her shinny blonde tresses. Romano, 66, was a dapper groom dressed in a charcoal grey suit with black buttons, white dress shirt, bowtie, and flower tied into his jacket's front pocket.
