Courteney Cox Is Binge-Watching Friends, and Her Thoughts Are Incredible


Courteney Cox is currently doing the same thing you’ve been doing for years before it left Netflix: She’s binge-watching Friends.

During Jimmy Kimmel’s latest at-home taping of his talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor behind Monica Gellar admitted she’s using the time she has on her hands due to the coronavirus pandemic to take a walk down memory lane. “I decided during this time—people love the show so much—I decided to binge-watch Friends,” she said.

It turns out, she would totally recommend it. “I just started season one. It’s really good,” she added. Really? I never would have guessed.

There’s also a practical reason for Cox’s latest marathon: She’s tired of failing at Friends trivia.

“I don’t even remember even being on the show. I have such a bad memory,” she told Kimmel. “I remember loving, obviously, everybody there, and having fun, and I remember certain times in my life that I was there. But I don’t remember episodes. I would never pass. I fail every test.”

Quick, Courteney Cox! What episode is this from?

Cox promised that by the end of her quarantine she’s going to know “so much more,” but Kimmel didn’t give her a chance to even get through season two before he quizzed her right then and there. He brought his cousin Anthony (a Friends superfan) into the chat to play against the person who just admitted they can’t remember what happened on their own show (to be fair, there are 236 episodes of content).

Kimmel tried to go easy on Cox by only asking questions related to Monica, but she still couldn’t even remember that Monica’s first kiss was with her brother. Seriously, who could forget that? “Ross was my first kiss? What episode was that?” Cox asked. (Season 10, Episode 11: “The One Where The Stripper Cries.” You’re welcome.)

Ultimately, Anthony beat Cox 5-0. Watch the whole thing here:

While HBO Max’s highly-anticipated Friends special has delayed filming due to the coronavirus pandemic, Cox said the cast already had their own recent reunion. “We had a meeting except for David Schwimmer, who was in New York. So we were all in the same room, which was really fun,” Cox said.

Hopefully, by the time they all get back together to actually shoot the unscripted event, Courteney Cox will be all caught up with her trivia.

**It was Season 7, Episode 10, “The One With the Holiday Armadillo.”

Courtney Cox Likes Instagram Posts About Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's SAGs Reunion


On Sunday evening, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt gave the world what they’ve been waiting for: an extremely brief, but extremely sweet, reunion at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The approximately two-second handhold sent fans all over the world into a frenzy—including Anniston’s real-life bestie, Courtney Cox.

It all started when cameras caught a backstage moment of the former couple congratulating each other over their respective SAG wins—the reunion was definitely affectionate with Pitt grabbing Aniston’s arm. The interaction sent the Internet into nostalgia overload, including Aniston’s former Friends co-star. Buzzfeed noticed that Cox liked every single social media post about the duo’s reunion posted by the aggregate Instagram account Comments By Celebs. Though Cox never commented directly on the posts we all know what those likes really mean… that she, too, stans a healthy, mature, and friendly demeanor with an ex who shares the same profession.

Cox wasn’t alone in her appreciation for the Pitt and Aniston reunion; several A-listers posted under the photos shared by Comments by Celebs. Rumor Willis wrote, “my tender heart can’t take this,” while Morgan Stewart added, “I’m not emotionally prepared to handle this at this stage in my life.”

Even Brooklyn Decker got in on the action on one post, tossing out a conspiracy theory that Aniston’s finger slipped under Pitt’s lapel.

As for Aniston, she took all the fanfare in stride. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Aniston said the public’s obsession with her and Pitt’s friendship was all “hysterical,” adding, “but what else are they going to talk about?”

Answer: Nothing. This is all we will talk about…for days. Or, until Pitt makes a cameo on The Morning Show. Fingers crossed.

Courteney Cox Celebrated Her Birthday with Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow


One of the many things that made Friends a massive hit back in the ’90s, and gave it a resurgence with a new generation on Netflix, is the undeniable chemistry of the cast. Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt Leblanc, and Matthew Perry all famously negotiated their salaries as a unit back in the day—and those friendships live on, much to the delight of fans like me.

Courteney Cox recently celebrated her 55th birthday with Aniston and Kudrow and shared a gorgeous photo of the three on her Instagram. “How lucky am I to celebrate my birthday with these two??? I love you girls. So much ♥️,” she wrote in the caption. “LOVE you girls! Happy happy Court,” Kudrow responded in the comments. (Aniston, sadly, is not on social media—but maybe her pals can convince her to join sometime soon.)

Friends lovers—of both the famous and not-famous variety—weighed in on the photo too. “This is so epic ?,” Kaley Cuoco commented. “Love that they are best friends in real life!” another user wrote.

This isn’t the first time Cox has given us excellent Friends-related content on the ‘Gram. Her very first post was a photo from The Ellen Show with Kudrow on a recreation of Central Perk’s famous couch. “Hello Instagram! I’m here with a little help from my friends,” she wrote in the caption.

Then there was the time she revisited the Friends apartment building in New York City.

Or this awesome throwback of her and Kudrow.

Aniston recently said that “anything can happen” when it comes to a Friends reunion. “Listen, I told you this: I would do it. The girls would do it. And the boys would do it, I’m sure,” she told Ellen DeGeneres.

What are the odds that this was discussed at Cox’s birthday celebration? We hope they spent some time outlining the plot and figuring out a plan to convince the guys that this is an excellent idea. In the meantime, our fingers will remain crossed.

Courteney Cox Visited the *Friends* Apartment and Had Some Thoughts


Courteney Cox is pretty new to the Instagram game, but she’s crushing it. One of the things that makes her a great follow is how game she is to give us all the Friends content we desire. Her very first post featured Lisa Kudrow, Ellen Degeneres, and a perfect recreation of the Central Perk. Jennifer Aniston has made an appearance. And all her throwbacks are stellar.

In her latest post, Cox shared a short video of herself walking up to the Friends building in New York City, a.k.a. the exterior used as the home of Monica, Rachel, Chandler, and Joey during the show’s 10-year run. The actress joked to friends off-camera that she was “going home” to the now-iconic West Village site.

The nostalgia is fun for us all, but Courteney Cox’s caption also summed up what it’s like trying to afford rent in major American cities: “The One Where My Rent Went Up $12,000.”

Check it out for yourself, below:

She’s joking, but there’s definitely some truth here. According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, 41 percent of New York City residents say they can’t cope with the high cost of living, and a separate 41 percent fear they’ll be forced to move somewhere else for economic reasons.

Rising rent isn’t just a New York problem, either. A new study in the journal Urban Studies shows rent burden and economic inequality is on the rise in many American towns and cities. According to the study, the most rent-burdened county in the U.S. is actually Orange County, Florida where 53 percent of low-income households spend more than half of their income on rent.

Income inequality is already shaping up to be a major issue for 2020 presidential candidates. It will be interesting to see how each plans to address the situation affecting so many Americans.

Laverne Cox Isn't Here for Society's Date Night Beauty Norms


Let us count the ways we love Laverne Cox: she’s a boss who, on top of being funny, smart, and an activist for LGBTQ+ rights, is casually breaking down beauty norms along the way. Back in May, that meant posting a heartfelt tribute to her natural curls on Instagram, and getting honest about the journey she’s been on to embrace them. And now, Cox is taking on one of the most insidious beauty standards in the book. In a new interview, she told the world that she’s not down for the pressure of needing to look “perfect” for a date. Meaning, she goes for powder and nothing else.

As Cox told Access Hollywood, “My whole dating [philosophy] is, I show up as Laverne. I don’t glam up. I give maybe a little powder for shine, and I’m like, this is it. Because the first few dates, you don’t know if they’re going to last or not.”

“I’m going to put the effort in once you’ve proven that you deserve all of this,” she continued, motioning up and down herself. “I used to, when I was younger. Now, it’s not about trying to make [dates] like me. I used to try and make them like me. Now [my dating criteria is], do I like you? Do we have anything in common? Are you into the real, authentic Laverne, stripped way down?”

Moment upfront: Of course, there’s nothing wrong with wearing makeup on a date if that’s what makes you feel ready to take on another, no-doubt-this-one’s-a-winner Tinder date. To each their own. If Nars’ Cruella helps you feel like your best self (raises hand), we’re solidly here for it. Still, it’s hard not to identify with the reality in her words: time and time again, it’s pounded into us that before a date, you’ve got to shower, shave, perfume, whatever, to put on a “desirable” image. Sh*t’s outdated, and Cox nailed it.
