Eviction Notice for "Joey" Friend
From: MSN News Submitted by: killasc-@hotmail.com
Don't ask Ashley Scott "how you doin'?" anytime soon. The trades report
the former "Birds of Prey" beauty has been booted from Matt LeBlanc's
"Friends" spin-off "Joey." Scott was set to play the titular character's
attractive but married new neighbor in the Los Angeles-set comedy, which
debuts this fall. Producers will reportedly recast the requisite "hot
girl" role and reshoot Scott's scenes. Expect the new sexy babe to
become a love interest for dim-bulb ladykiller Joey. The sitcom's pilot
earned major kudos when it was screened in its entirety at the network's
recent upfront presentation to advertisers. The Hollywood Reporter says
it also got the thumbs up during audience testing, with viewers enjoying
everything except -- you guessed it -- Scott's neighbor character.

Courteney Cox Arquette Has Baby Girl
Jun 14
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Courteney Cox Arquette has a new friend: a baby girl
named Coco, a spokeswoman for the couple said Monday.
The "Friends" co-star and her husband, actor David Arquette, became
parents Sunday morning, said the spokeswoman for BWR Public Relations,
which represents both.
"Everyone's happy and healthy and that's what I have," their
representative told The Associated Press.
The actress, who turns 40 Tuesday, gave birth about a week before her
scheduled delivery date, according to People magazine. The couple's
spokeswoman declined to confirm that information.
Cox Arquette, whose "Friends" TV character struggled to have a child,
has disclosed that in real life she suffered several miscarriages before
her successful pregnancy.
"I get pregnant pretty easily, but I have a hard time keeping them," she
said last October, revealing that she and her husband had decided to
conceive by in vitro fertilization.
The couple married in June 1999.
Arquette, 32, has co-starred in films including "Never Been Kissed" and
"Eight Legged Freaks." He also appeared with his wife in all three of
the "Scream" movies.

Jennifer Aniston Hollywood's Powerful Friend
Forbes Magazine
By Davide Dukcevich, June 21
NEW YORK - Jennifer Aniston is Hollywood's best Friend. Over the past 12
months, the actress earned about $25.5 million, appeared on more
magazine covers than any other star, and enjoyed a string of box-office
and critical hits. The success helped Aniston finish 17th on Forbes'
list of the world's 100 most powerful celebrities, besting such leading
ladies as Julia Roberts (who earned $25 million and a power rank of 24)
and Sandra Bullock (who raked in $30 million but had a power rank of
only 44).
Mrs. Brad Pitt starred alongside Ben Stiller in this year's Along Came
Polly, but made more money in her last year playing Rachel on Friends:
$1.25 million per episode. In 2003 she was #1 on the list and #28 in
2002.
In 2004 she was ranked with a pay salary of $26 mil; Web
Hits: 787,000; Press Clips: 8,471; Cover Stories: 9.50
and TV/Radio: 103.
Husband Brad Pitt meanwhile is #37 on the list.
The closest competitor Aniston has on the cast of the recently-expired
NBC sitcom smash Friends is Courteney Cox, who earned $23.5 million and
had a power ranking of 65.

Coco's here, but who's next?
By Karen Thomas, USA TODAY
Courteney Cox showed off her first-born Monday in Los Angeles. Daughter
Coco Arquette (her father is actor David Arquette), born June 13, is the
youngest in a flock of Hollywood babies in recent months.
But it sure doesn't look as if a second Hollywood baby boom is here just
yet. Ever since Julia Roberts announced June 1 that she is pregnant with
twins, rumors have flown about other celebs who might be in the family
way. But pregnancy denials abound this week:
* Jennifer Aniston, vacationing in London, shouted to paparazzi as she
left a restaurant Monday: "By the way, I'm not pregnant. Although I'm
having a good time trying."

Celebrities become carnies for AIDS benefit
By William Keck, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES - Would you pay $1,000 to have Jack Nicholson read you a
bedtime story? Or perhaps you'd prefer to lie down for a massage
alongside Kathy Bates, who was handing out moisturizers.
That's what folks paid (just $250 for tots) at Sunday's 15th annual
Target a Time for Heroes celebrity carnival, which pulled in $1.4
million for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Brendan Fraser, Ryan Seacrest, Matthew Perry, Christina Applegate,
Jessica Alba and Raquel Welch were some of the celebs working the
booths.
"Fans could wait in a long line to have their photo taken on a mock
People magazine cover with Perry and Applegate. "Usually when you're on
the cover of People, it's because you've lost like 50 pounds or you got
your boobs done," Applegate said, while Perry said he had probably
landed on People's cover at least 10 times. "I was on this television
show, Friends, for awhile," he reminded. Shortly thereafter, Perry was
informed that Courteney Cox had delivered her baby girl and promptly
high-tailed it to the hospital.

Age: 17
Location: Stow, MA, USA
Q: When did you start watching Friends?
A: When I was 11--the age that my dad thought I was old enough.
Q: Why do you like it?
A: Because it is HILARIOUS and it's the best cheerer-upper I've ever
known of!!!
Q: Who's your Fave Friend?
A: Monica, because she's so funny with her "high-maintenance" ways and
obsessiveness...and she's just so funny! And, she's a lot like me.
Q: Fave Episode?
A: "TOW the Routine," because it is wicked funny watching Monica and
Ross make a fool of themselves. I also like "TOW Rachel's Other
Sister." FUNNY!!!
Q: How obsessed are you?
A: Well, I have all the Best of Friends DVDs, Season 3 and 4 DVDs, tons
of episodes recorded on tapes, pictures taped up all over my room, the
Friends Trivia game, the new Friends book, a CD with all Phoebe's songs
I downloaded, and a collection of magazines that have the cast on the
cover. I am constantly putting quotes from the show into my
conversations with other people without meaning to. Usually I watch
three episodes per weekday on TV plus episodes from my DVDs! Also, when
I had to choose someone to do biography on in school, I chose Courteney
Cox Arquette, and I got to show the class an episode of Friends for
extra credit! (It was the best period ever.) And I have a Friends AIM
buddy icon, of course!
Q: Friends related
Fact: A:
My friends are convinced that I am another version of Monica. I can't
say I'm proud of this, but I am high-maintenance and I need everything
clean. It's crazy. Plus, I kinda look like Monica, too.
Q: Have you been to a taping or met a Friend?
A: No!!! But it would be a dream come true!
