Critic of 'Joey' by Dusty Saunders

FINAL CHANCE: NBC's Joey is similar to a disappointing NFL first- round
draft choice.
The barrage of favorable press clippings before he took the
field was there but the series hasn't produced quality episodes since premiering
in the fall of 2004.
A spinoff of the network's popular, money-making
Friends, Joey (Matt LeBlanc), was put into the Friends 7 p.m. Thursday time
period - the leading position for NBC's "must- see" lineup.
Despite a mediocre freshman season in quality, reviews and audience ratings, NBC brought Joey back last fall.
Same negative results.
So the series was yanked at the end of the year.
Joey gets one more chance to live up to its hype.
Beginning March 7, Joey shows up at 7 p.m. Tuesday with original episodes,
airing through the spring, followed at 7:30 p.m. by a string of repeats.
There's an outside chance Joey could return for a third season in the fall
if it performs well in the ratings. How likely is that?
Joey's main opposition is Fox's American Idol.

Schwimmer in theatre

By JACQUES LE SOURD - THE JOURNAL NEWS
Original publication: February 26, 2006

Here is the menu for a busy theatrical time that seems to offer something
for everyone. One thing is sure: We have no idea -— at this point —- who will
stand, lauded with prizes at the June 11 Tonys, and who will fall among the
forgotten at the end of the season.

David Schwimmer (of TV's "Friends") stars opposite Zeljko Ivanek ("The
Pillowman") in a revival of Herman Wouk's 1954 play, an adaptation of his
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Caine Mutiny." Jerry Zaks directs this
crackling courtroom drama, which revolves around the mad Captain Queeg (Ivanek)
and the attorney, Barney Greenwald, who defends the case of mutiny brought by
him. Henry Fonda famously starred in the original, which was directed by Charles
Laughton, Humphrey Bogart starred in the film. The last revival of this
potboiler starred Michael Moriarty and John Rubinstein.

Lisa Kudrow in "Clockwatchers"


There's a summary I've read about this movie where Lisa Kudrow stars:
Winner of the Audience Award at the Arizona International Film Festival,
"Clockwatchers" (1997) follows four temps bored with their jobs in a
faceless
megacorporation. Their shared plight creates a natural affinity
among them, and
they all become fast friends, spending after hours together
getting drinks and
looking for guys.
Tensions emerge between the girls
and the rest of the
staff after a series of thefts in the office follows the
hire of a new permanent
employee. Toni Collette, Lisa Kudrow, Parker Posey,
and Alanna Ubach star in
this slice-of-life dark comedy.

Just see what you can bring to courts...

Friends writers' 'lewd fantasies'
By Nicholas Wapshott in New York(Filed: 19/02/2006)
The racy dialogue and sexual innuendo that made the television comedy Friends a worldwide hit is at the centre of a sexual harassment case.


Amaani Lyle, who was hired by the programme maker Warner Bros as a writing assistant, complained about her fellow workers' sexually explicit language in the California Supreme Court in Los Angeles last week.
She claims that the writers openly spoke lewdly about their sex lives and their fantasies about the Friends actors, who include Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc and Courtney Cox.
Miss Lyle's job was to note dialogue improvised by the show's writers. Warner claims that she was fired for typing too slowly and points out that sexual banter was a centre of the Friends comedy dynamic.
The complaint has become a test case for the freedom of expression in the workplace. "Writers need to, as part of their jobs, take on taboo subject matters," Adam Levin, the lawyer for Warner, told the court. But Miss Lyle's lawyer, Scott Cummings, said much of the profanity and offensive talk took place away from the writing. "This was just guys liking to say shocking, offensive, vulgar, obscene things," he said. Exchanges have shown that the writers mimed masturbation and drew genitalia on a chart.
The judges are expected to come to a decision within three months. Miss Lyle is now serving with the United States Air Force.

MIVEL FOGLALKOZIK AZ AMERIKAI BÍRÓSÁG?
Többek között a Warner Bros egyik volt asszisztensének ügyével, aki szexuális túlkapás miatt perli volt munkaadóját. A hölgy feladata az volt, hogy lejegyezze az írók improvizációt, de mivel túl lassan írt, elbocsátották. Ő most azzal védekezik, hogy a használt szavak és mozdulatok hozták zavarba, ezért nem volt képes megfelelően ellátni a munkáját.
A cég szerint a sorozatban a szex-szel kapcsolatos vicceknek nagy szerepük volt, és az íróknak szükségük volt erre a módszerre, hogy a legjobb mondásokat kigyűjthessék. Az asszisztens ügyvédje szerint viszont az ott elhangzottaknak nem volt köze a munkához, csak egy csapat férfi szórakozott.
Kiváncsian várjuk, hogyan dönt a tisztelt bíróság...

They are also afraid that the wedding will become a "circus" so they plan it to be in France.




Hírek szerint Brad Pitt és Angelina Jolie elhalasztották esküvőjüket, hogy az ne zavarja meg Jennifer Aniston februári születésnapját.
A pár attól is fél, hogy esküvőjük "cirkusszá" válik, ezért Franciaországban tartanák inkább.

Matthew Perry at a benefit performance

Richard Jenik, Allison Janney, Minnie Driver, David Burtka, Neil Patrick Harris, John Bennett Perry, Richard Kind, Matthew Perry, Michael Morris

Matthew Perry was never reluctant to help the less lucky and the more troubled. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the Lili Claire foundatation since its beginning and this year he already took part at least at two beneficial happenings. One was the "2006 Winter Benefit Performance" by the Ojai Playwrights Conference.
He teamed up here among others with his father, John Bennett Perry and with Minnie Driver, who already met in stage. For more pictures click at the title. They're worth to look at!
See the cast and the director (the last one) above.

Matthew Perry egy jótékonysági előadáson
Matthew Perry sosem habozott, amikor arról volt szó, hogy a kevésbé szerencséseket, a nehéz helyzetben lévőket segítse. A Lili Claire alapítvány munkájában az alapításától kezdve részt vesz és az idei évben már legalább két jótékonysági rendezvényet is támogatott - remélhetőleg nem csak a részvételével. Az egyik ezek közül az Ojai Színdarabírók Konferenciájának "Téli jótékonysági előadás 2006" elnevezésű programja volt.
Ebben szerepelt többek között édesapja, John Bennett Perry és Minnie Driver is, akikkel Matthew már korábban is szerepelt színpadon. További képekért kattints az angol címre, érdemes őket megnézni!
A színészek és a rendező (aki az utolsó a képen) fent láthatók.

Another article about Matthew Perry's new series

Read this at TV Envy.

Lisa Kudrow about the press and celebrity couples


"Jennifer is a dear friend. I will never talk about her and Brad except to say she's doing great. But what I will say is that when you get one celebrity hooking up with another one it creates a monster that is far bigger than two individuals.
"The press goes wild and then you end up becoming this huge deal. I've never been like that - or maybe it's because my life is too boring."
