There has been so much hype about Jennifer Aniston’s return to TV.  For months, everyone’s been talking about her return to primetime TV. But when it came right down to it, her appearance didn’t do much for ratings. Last year Cougar Town debuted to an audience of 11.4 million. Last night’s premiere brought in 8.3 million viewers, down quite a bit from last year. (And third in it’s time slot)

Modern Family brought in 12.6 million viewers, which was came in at #1 for it’s time slot.

Jennifer Aniston has hit a bit of a rough patch. Her latest film “The Switch” was a huge flop, bringing in only $8.1 million the weekend it opened.

Did you watch ‘Cougar Town’ last night? What did you think?

Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox are two ‘friends’ who may be reuniting on TV again.

It appears that Jennifer may make a guest star appearance on Courtney’s hit sitcom Cougar Town.

Executive producer Bill Lawrence says “I would love for it to happen, but there’s nothing to talk about yet.”

The two have also worked together on the sitcom Friends and Cox’s FX drama Dirt where the BFFs shared a kiss.

It would be great to see these two reunite on Cougar Town. Would you tune in?

Courteney Cox opened up to LA Times about being jealous of the girls from Sex and the City, and the two movies that came after the series ended.

“I wish we could do that with ‘Friends,’” Cox says. “The thing is, the characters from ‘Sex and the City’ hopped all over Manhattan. On ‘Friends,’ we were always stuck in the apartment and that coffeehouse.”

Courteney Cox and best friend Jennifer Aniston have been talking about making a Friends movie for years. Although she’s not getting her hopes up, she’s been dying to get the cast back together for a movie following the much-loved sitcom.

“I don’t think it’s going to happen,” she says. “Would [series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman] want to write it? Because they’d have to be involved. I don’t know … a lot of things would have to break just right for it to work. But we’ve daydreamed about it.”

While LA Times was talking with Courteney, they got a few of her favorite moments from the long-running sitcom.

Favorite scene: “Off the top of my head, I’d say when Monica proposed to Chandler. There’s like 10,000 candles lit in the apartment and she gets down on one knee and starts sobbing. ‘There’s a reason why girls don’t do this!’ That was a big scene to me, playing the heavy emotion of that.”

Favorite part of Monica: “I loved any time she got super-competitive. The New Year’s Rockin’ Eve dance. The Thanksgiving touch football game with Ross. Fat Monica too. God, playing Fat Monica was so freeing! I remember being in [Fat Monica] makeup one time waiting for the other cast members to come out, and [director] Kevin Bright put on ‘Shake Your Groove Thing’ and I just grabbed a doughnut and started dancing like crazy in front of the audience. I could do anything because I was hidden under all that prosthetic makeup.”

I don’t know how I would feel about a Friends movie. I loved the series, and it was actually one of a few series that ended really well. Do we need to mess that up with a movie that may not do the series justice? What do you think?

In a new interview Courtney Cox reveals that she and Jennifer Aniston had lunch together every single day for 10 years while shooting Friends.

“And we always had the same thing — a Cobb salad,” she says. “But it wasn’t really a Cobb salad. It was a Cobb salad that Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don’t know what. She just has a way with food, which really helps. Because if you’re going to eat the same salad every day for 10 years, it’d better be a good salad, right?”

Ten years of salad? Yeah, it better be good I agree with you Courtney. And it better be the prelude to the main course. Preferably a burger with fries and a chocolate shake. Now that sounds more like a lunch I could eat everyday.

Jennifer Aniston will reunite with her “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox in the upcoming “Scream” sequel.

They have both signed on to return for a fourth installment of the franchise, which begins shooting later this year – and Cox has persuaded Aniston to join in the fun.

A source tells Star magazine, “Scream has always been an important part of Courteney’s life, and she wanted Jennifer to be a part of the production.”

But Aniston’s “Scream” appearance will be a short one – she will be the masked killer’s first victim when her character is murdered in the opening sequence.

Neve Campbell, the lead in the 1996 movie, has also agreed to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott for a fourth outing. Julia Roberts’ niece Emma Roberts has also joined the cast.

UPDATE: This rumor isn’t true! Suck. I think it would have been great to have Jennifer Aniston star in Scream 4, but it’s not true…according to the studio. A rep for the Weinstein Company, which is producing the film, tells UsMagazine.com that this casting report is “not true.”

Courteney Cox’s Cougar Town looks set for an overhaul after executive producer Bill Lawrence revealed plans to change the show’s name.

The series premiered in September, but the show has changed direction as the plot progressed and Lawrence admits TV chiefs are now considering revamping it.

He tells HitFix, “I’d like to (change the name), and the studio has been talking about it for three reasons. One, partly as a result of common sense and partly from their research, they find too many instances of… people saying they would never watch a show called Cougar Town… and then they screen an episode and people go, ‘Oh, I would watch this show’.”

“Second… you would be hard-pressed to watch the last three episodes of the show and (if you) asked anyone for titles, I doubt anybody would say Cougar Town. Third, in a world where (network) ABC (is) looking to promote (TV comedy) Modern Family and capitalize on it to promote all their new shows next fall, anything you can do to create some kind of dialogue about your existing show is smart and savvy.”

“The reasons not to do it I think solely come down to business reasons.”
