It’s no secret that the Kardashian-Jenners have had mixed feelings about Blac Chyna since she entered the famous fam as Rob’s girlfriend earlier this year.

But at long last the one person who’s remained adamantly against their relationship seems to have given in, as last night’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians revealed that Khloé Kardashian is finally back on speaking terms with her brother.

With a little help of family momager Kris Jenner, KoKo and Rob ended their month-long silence – a situation which had stemmed from the only male Kardashian’s failure to inform his family of his daddy-to-be status before it went public.

Acting as a go-between for her adult children, Kris said to Rob: “You are her best friend and she has not talked to you in a really long time…She loves you so much and she misses her brother.”

Rob initially remained sceptical about whether or not he was actually Khloé’s BFF, before suggesting that his 32-year-old sister is the source of her own drama, not him.

According to the Mail Online, Kris then tried to convince Rob that he doesn’t have to sacrifice his relationship with his family for his engagement with Blac Chyna but again the celebrity sock entrepreneur was not totally convinced.

 

 

Family is everything!! I love my brothers!

He said: “No, I know, but you all are not that welcoming of this relationship so you can't expect me to be all like ‘Let's hang out and everything is cool and fine’ it's not that easy.”

Eventually Rob caved and called an enthusiastic Khloé.  He told her how their late father “would not be happy” with the fact that they had spent so long on bad terms.

Later Khloé and Rob were filmed discussing their issues, with Khloé insisting her brother does not have to eliminate himself from her life because of his relationship with Chyna.

Afterwards the radio talk show host told cameras: “It feels so good to have my brother back in my life. I just feel so much more safe and at peace that he is here and someone I can talk to and call and lean on and be that goofy brother.”

While rumours continue to circulate that all is not well between Rob and his significant other, it’s good to hear his familial relationships are finally on the road to recovery.

Any Friends fan will know that an over-the-top “OH. MY. GAAWWD” from Janice was always a sign that hilarious antics were to follow, but who is Janice in real life and what does she actually sound like?

Well – as a new interview with This Morning has revealed – Chandler Bing’s on-off lover was played by an actress named Maggie Wheeler and Maggie Wheeler sounds NOTHING like her on-screen persona Janice Litman Goralnik.

Sitting with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on the British TV show, the actress opened the segment with Janice’s famous “Oh. My. God” catchphrase, something which she says she “never” tires of doing.

During the interview, Maggie – who actually possesses a very smooth voice in real life – explained how the character of Janice developed throughout her time on the famous sit-com.

She said: “The laugh happened organically in the first rehearsal, because I needed to find a way to laugh, because Matthew Perry is so funny.”

“I thought, ‘This guy’s gonna make me laugh on set, I've gotta be prepared.  What am I going to do?’  So I created Janice’s laugh just as a safety measure for when Matthew made me laugh.”

Maggie also revealed how she came to the show for one episode as part of a “one shot deal” and how happy she was when the writers consistently chose to bring back her beloved character.

With all the laughs she’s given us over the years, we couldn’t imagine Friends without Janice.

Hollywood may be all glitz, glam and gleaming smiles on the surface, but at a deeper level many of its best known inhabitants find themselves under serious pressure to defy the effects of aging. 

In a new episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls former Friends actress Courteney Cox revealed that she was one such star.

During a rather candid conversation – which was filmed right here in Ireland – the 52-year-old actress told the British adventurer that she now regrets having experimented with plastic surgery in the past.

 

She said: “Getting older, I don't think that's the easiest thing.  But I have learned lessons.”

“I think I was trying to keep up with getting older and trying to chase that [youthful look].  It's something you can't keep up with.”

According to Vanity Fair, the mother of one did not reveal which procedures she’s actually undergone, but did admit that at times she was left feeling dissatisfied with the results.

Courteney said: “Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go ‘oh god, I look horrible.”’

“I have done things that I regret and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away.  So that's good because it's not always been my best look”

Thankfully it seems Courteney’s days dabbling with cosmetic enhancement are over as she has since adopted a more natural approach. 

“Now I have a new motto,” she said.  “Just let it be.”

Before landing the role of Ross Geller in Friends, David Schwimmer had studied acting at Northwestern University and treaded the boards in LA.

In an effort to hone his craft, a young David would regularly engage with other people and happily draw inspiration from day-to-day situations, but this all changed after Friends hit the big time in the mid 90s.

Stunned by the level of fame he was experiencing at the height of his television career, David recently admitted that he began to withdraw – something which went against everything he had been taught during his days in university.

"As an actor, the way I was trained, my job was to observe life and to observe other people, so I used to walk around with my head up, really engaged and watching people," he told the Hollywood Reporter.

"The effect of celebrity was the absolute opposite: it made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen," he explained. "And I realised after a while that I was no longer watching people; I was trying to hide."

After becoming a household name along with his five co-stars, a 27-year-old David struggled with the implications of their overnight fame.

"It was pretty jarring and it messed with my relationship to other people in a way that took years, I think, for me to adjust to and become comfortable with," he admitted.

Attempting to reconcile the actor he was before hitting the big time and the actor that emerged from the hit sitcom took David some time.

"So I was trying to figure out: How do I be an actor in this new world, in this new situation? How do I do my job? That was tricky," he said.

Since finishing his last coffee in Central Perk, David has starred in a number of shows, mostly recently earning an Emmy nomination for his role in The People v. O.J Simpson: American Crime Story.

There are some people who choose between the six original cast members when discussing their favourite Friends characters, and then there's other people – us – who choose Mike Hannigan.

Ah Mike, ye of the phantom keyboard tricks, sick one-liners and 'sailor on leave' skills.

Played by Paul Rudd, Mike Hannigan was the first man that made Phoebe think she might want to hang up her hippie threads and become a soccer mom for life.

But it looks like the writers didn't actually have this future in mind for Phoebe.

According to Hank Azaria, who played Phoebe's love interest David in earlier episodes, writers actually intended to bring David back, pair him off with Phoebe and let those two lovebirds live out their hippie/ sciencey future together.

And it sounds like Hank was pretty cut up about the writers' decision.

"It actually did sting a little bit," Hank said. "Whatever part of me is David the science guy who went to Minsk, which admittedly is probably a small part of me, but that part of me wanted to end up with Phoebe."

Giving props to Paul, Hank, who's best known for voicing numerous Simpsons characters said; "I think, honestly, what happened was Paul Rudd is so awesome that they sort of found a groove with him and my character became more of just the grist for that mill."

Imagine Phoebe's wedding to Mike hadn't gone ahead – no steel drum, no dying dog, no manic wedding planning from Monica… it just wouldn't have been the same.

It's pretty common to get a text from a wrong number. And if you do, you probably just ignore it, or reply with something mudane like "soz wrong number," right? 

Well, it seems that some people have a waaay better sense of humour than we do. 

This girl text a randomer looking for Ross, so the wrong number dude decided to play a little joke.

He practically made every Ross Geller reference imaginable, and we totally love him for it.

He decided to post the whole conversation on Reddit and it's truly wonderful:

To be honest, we haven't a notion how the poor girl didn't cop on to the Friends references – but, the whole thing is brilliant. Where are you fake Ross Geller and will you marry us?!

Matthew Perry opened his first West End show in London yesterday and let's just say that initial reactions are not good. 

The End of Longing tells the tale of a bunch of troubled New York 30-somethings as they struggle to find love, happiness and contentment. 

So pretty much a Friends sequel then…

"There’s little disguising the fact that it is essentially a dud…" came the Telegraph's review of the play. 

"It all feels like a curious waste of time, money and effort – and I’m sure I won’t be the only one watching this rickety star vehicle who’s left longing for the end."

Ouch. 

Other critics noted the play's gendered stereotyping as in a review done by the Independent. 

"It is a woeful attempt at a dark-but-redemptive rom-com, drawing on Perry’s own experiences of addiction…"

"Perry’s gendered clichés are as stale as a drunk’s morning breath."

Despite many criticising Matthew for giving his own character all the best lines, the Guardian had some positive comments for Matt's performance. 

"Perry, with his permanent stubble and greying hair, is certainly a beguiling presence and generously gives his character most of the play’s best lines."

The actor had missed the upcoming Friends reunion to star in the play and we just hope it's worth it. 

Let's hope Matthew's fans will enjoy the show more than the critics.

We honestly don't know why these guys decided it would be a good idea to play text roulette (sober), but the outcome is pretty funny.

A group of lads and ladies got together and had to hand over their phone to their BFFs.

They then had to spin the wheel, and whatever it landed on, they had to text it to a person of their choice.

There were some mother and bosses involved, but we feel pretty sorry for the lad that had to text a girl he likes. She probably doesn't like him after this though. Poor guy.

Ever since it was announced that the cast of Friends were getting back together again (minus Matthew perry, *sadface*), we couldn't help but think about all the questions that went unanswered.

Like, where the hell did Gunther go off to? Did Ross and Rachel get married? And did anyone pull on Monica and Chandler IRL?

These are all very good questions, but we have to say we want the answer to the last question the most.

Well, it seems like we might just get our answer as in a sneak peek video for the NBC special, presenter Andy Cohen asks the gang if anyone actually had to sign a contract to not sleep together. Wow.

The special episode for director James Burrows will air on February 21, and we hope our Friends air out their dirty laundry in the meantime.

So, it might not be the reunion we were all hoping for, but still, seeing the gang all together again is giving us serious chills.

Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, Courteney Coz and David Schwimer all came together yesterday for the taping of NBC's upcoming special, Must See TV: A Tribute to James Burrow.

And thanks to The Big Bang's Kaley Cuoco, we got a little sneak peek into what went down last night.

The picture isn't just the cast of Friends though (minus Matthew Perry), but some of The Big Bang's stars joined in too.

And in another photo op, a few Will & Grace favourites were at the party too, making our hearts flutter as we remember the good times on TV.

Does this mean there's going to be crossover episodes in the future?! Probably not, but girls can dream.

If you are a Friends fan (who isn't) then you will love this proposal video.

Mitesh decided he wanted to do something special for when he proposed to his girlfriend, Anisha.

And since Friends is her favourite TV show, he recreated the famous yellow chair and lamp that is seen in the opening credits of the show.

For any Friends or 90s lover, this is a dream come true. Hint, hint, boys.

Friends fans (i.e. the majority of the world's population) got a huge surprise this week when it was revealed the cast would be reuniting.

Plans for a once-off TV special, organised by NBC in honour of sitcom director James Burrows, were said to feature an appearance from everyone' favourite New Yorkers, back together for one last time.

However before we even got an inkling of what form the reunion would take – A brand new episode?! A flashback?! A look to the future?! – our hopes were already shot down by none other than Matthew Perry.

According to a statement from his rep, Matthew is due to be in the UK at the time of the TV special and so won't be featuring. Meaning that whatever happens, we'll only get to see five sixths of the legendary cast.

"Regarding Matthew Perry and the James Burrows tribute, Matthew will not be attending, as he is in London in rehearsals for his play," the actor's rep Lisa Kastelar told Us Weekly last night.

"NBC executives were aware of this prior to their TCA announcement yesterday. Matthew may tape something for the tribute. In other words, this is not the reunion people have been hoping for."

Ouch. Way to ruin our hopes, Lisa.

Of course, NBC had warned that there might be some issues getting the cast together, saying that "logistically" it might not work.

We have our fingers crossed for a miracle, however.
