This Video of Jennifer Aniston Surprising Fans on the ‘Friends’ Set Is So Good


Friends fanatics, I have a dream scenario for you: Imagine you’re visiting the set of Central Perk on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, and Jennifer Aniston pops up and surprises you. Well, this exact thing happened to a group of lucky fans this past week.

Here’s what happened: Aniston was guest-hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which films on the same lot as Friends did, and decided to take a break and pop by her old stomping grounds. You see, fans can now actually tour the set of Central Perk, so Aniston decided to hide behind that iconic couch you know and love and give some visitors the scare of a lifetime. A good scare, obviously.

“The set is actually still here [on the Warner Bros. lot],” Aniston says in the clip. “It’s part of the Warner Bros. studio tour. So I thought, While I’m here, I’ll go take a visit.”

Watch the hilarious video for yourself, below. There is a lot of screaming involved.

Don’t think this means a Friends reunion is happening soon, though. While Jennifer Aniston and several of the cast members have expressed interest in getting back together, nothing is on the books yet. A nonscripted reunion special was in the works at HBO Max (a new streaming service that will soon house all of Friends), but that’s been put on pause for now.

HBO Max chief creative officer Kevin Reilly told the Television Critics Association last week, per Deadline, “There is interest all around, and yet we can’t get the interests all alighted to push the button on it.” He said the reunion, for now, is “just a maybe.”

Hopefully something comes together. But if nothing happens, at least now we can hold on to the dream that one of the “friends” might surprise us on the Warner Bros. lot should we ever visit.

Constance Wu Just Clarified Her Surprising Tweets Surrounding the Renewal of 'Fresh Off the Boat'


ABC announced a slew of cancellations and renewals on Friday, and one of the survivors was Fresh Off the Boat. It’s good news for cast, crew, and dedicated viewers—but it seemed like one of the show’s stars wasn’t super-thrilled about the news. As news of FOTB‘s renewal broke, Constance Wu sent some tweets into the ether that were definitely surprising.

“So upset right now that I’m literally crying. Ugh. Fuck,” Wu tweeted on Friday, followed a few minutes later with a tweet reading simply, “Fucking hell.” She also commented “Dislike” on the renewal announcement posted to the show’s official Instagram and responded “No it’s not” to a fan who said how great the news was (her response now seems to have been deleted).

Obviously, Twitter wanted to know what was going on. She followed up her initial tweets around an hour later with a tweeted clarification.

“That was not a rampage, it was just how I normally talk. I say fuck a lot. I love the word. Y’all are making a lot of assumptions about what I was saying. And no, it’s not what it’s about. No it’s not..what this is all about. Stop assuming,” she wrote.

One fan pressed her for a clearer explanation: “You… literally said you were upset and crying over the renewal of a tv show you’re in. Of course people are going to ask why that was your reaction to what most actors would be happy about. Care to explain why?”

“I said I was upset and crying. I did not say it was over a tv show. You’re making an assumption,” she responded.

She also wrote on Friday that “todays tweets were on the heels of rough day&were ill timed w/the news of the show. Plz know, Im so grateful for FOTB renewal. I love the cast&crew. Im proud to be a part of it. For all the fans support, thank u & for all who support my casual use of the word fuck-thank u too?.”

Wu came back with another, more detailed explanation Saturday afternoon, writing that the show’s renewal meant she had to give up another project that would have “challenged [her] as an artist.”

“FOTB is a great show that I’m proud of and that I enjoy. I’ve gotten to fully explore my character and I know her like the back of my hand,” she wrote, calling her work on the show “fun and easy and pleasant.” However, she added, “I’ve always sought artistic challenge over comfort and ease.”

Wu also wrote that her tweets had been “insensitive to those who are struggling, especially insensitive considering the fact that I used to be in that struggle too,” adding an apology and saying that she realized how FOTB had opened some doors career-wise for her.

“People can hold conflicting feelings in their hearts—that conflict is a part of being human. So I can both love the show/cast/crew but at the same time be disappointed that I lost the other unrelated job,” she ended her statement.

Prince William Was Asked About Meghan Markle's Due Date—and His Response Was Surprising


With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s baby due literally any day now, everyone is eagerly awaiting news that the Duchess of Sussex is in labor. But when a royal fan asked Prince William to share any news he had about Baby Sussex‘s due date, he had a pretty surprising update for everyone. You would think Harry’s older brother would be in the loop, but it turns out the Duke of Cambridge actually has “no idea” when his niece or nephew will arrive.

According to Town and Country, William was asked if there was “Any sign of the royal baby?” during his solo trip in New Zealand. To which he jokingly responded, “I haven’t got my phone on me—I have no idea. You guys will find out before I do at this rate.”

William’s update came days after it was revealed that he and wife Kate Middleton secretly visited Harry and Markle on Easter. The Fab Four hung out at Frogmore House following the Easter service in Windsor on Sunday, April 21. (Markle was unable to attend church at St George’s Chapel as she nears the end of her pregnancy.)

Markle’s exact due date has been kept under wraps since she first announced her pregnancy in October 2018. She previously hinted the royal baby was due in late April or early May—and though many have speculated she was going to go into labor this weekend, it was announced that Harry would be attending the London Marathon to hand out medals.

We can safely assume Markle isn’t expected to welcome the couple’s first baby just yet, even though this could change at any given moment. Exciting times are ahead, folks.

Taylor Swift Just Announced Her New Song and Music Video—and They're So Surprising


Taylor Swift‘s new era is officially here. The pop singer just announced the first single from her upcoming seventh album. It’s called “ME!,” and, interestingly, it features Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco. Swift revealed on Instagram that both the song and music video for “ME!” will drop at midnight on Friday, April 26.

She’ll be answering some questions ahead of the song and video’s reveal on YouTube, which you’ll be able to watch in the video below:

The ramp-up to this song has been monstrous. Swift switched up her Instagram aesthetic in February, leading fans to believe new music was on the way. Of course, from this birthed several theories about her next chapter. Palm trees, butterflies, and mermaids were all common motifs in the images she was posting, and their significance was a mystery. Some thought the bubbly new vibe just meant Swift’s music would be lighter and happier than 2017’s Reputation. Others posited the butterfly theme hinted at some kind of metamorphosis, either visually or sonically.

Swift didn’t do much to bolster or deny the theories until Thursday, April 25, when she showed up at a butterfly mural in Nashville that many speculated was about her music. Centered on this mural was the word “Me!”

“So… @kelseymontagueart [the mural artist] helped me pull off the best surprise clue reveal today in Nashville!!” Swift posted to Instagram about the stunt. “Thank you to everyone who showed up, I’ve never been more proud of your FBI level detective skills.”

“ME!” first gained traction a few months ago when Swift randomly capitalized it in one of her Instagram captions. She also capitalized the words “Begin” and “Another,” in other posts, so it’s safe to say they’ll hold some value later down the line.

Taylor Swift originally hinted at new music at the American Music Awards in October 2018 when she said, “I always look at albums as chapters of my life, so to the fans I’m so happy you liked this one. But I have to be really honest with you about something: I’m even more excited about the next chapter.”

*A Star Is Born* Has a Surprising Connection to Britney Spears' *Crossroads*


I’ve seen A Star Is Born in theaters seven times and, at this point, can quote the movie by heart. I’m also a colossal Britney Spears fan. So you can imagine my elation at a connection between ASIB and Spears’ movie Crossroads that the Internet unearthed this week. No, you didn’t miss Gaga singing “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” when you went to the bathroom during ASIB or anything like that. The Easter egg these two masterpieces share is so deeply hidden that I don’t blame you for missing it.

Drum roll, please, Little Monsters and members of the Britney Army: Crossroads and A Star Is Born each have scenes at the same grocery store. What’s that? A frozen food aisle connection is born? Who would’ve thought?!

It turns out the Super-A Foods grocery store on Division Street in Los Angeles had the pleasure of two pop queens filming in its parking lot. The food emporium serves as the backdrop for one of the most crucial scenes in A Star Is Born. Ally (Lady Gaga) and Jackson (Bradley Cooper) find themselves there late on the night they met, and she sings “Shallow” for him the first time. It’s a hard scene to forget:

The Crossroads scene, however, is briefer and less important. Midway through the movie, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoe Saldana), Mimi (Taryn Manning), and Ben (Anson Mount) pull into the same Super-A Foods for a snack run while on their road trip to Los Angeles. At this point in the film, the girls think Ben actually murdered someone—so Kit isn’t exactly thrilled when Lucy and Mimi leave her in the car with him, alone, to get food. She runs after them within seconds, screaming, “Y’all! Wait for me!” It’s iconic. Click here to see a photo of the store.

This is quite literally a Britney Spears-Lady Gaga crossroad. I guess this means they have to record a duet, right? They can film their music video at this grocery store.

Watch Lady Gaga Tear Up While Surprising Fans at A Star Is Born Screening


With the release of A Star Is Born inching closer, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are deep in the throes of one of the most extensive press tours in recent memory. In other words, these two really want you to see their movie. So much so, in fact, that they might even drop in on a screening, which is exactly what Gaga did in New York on Wednesday, October 3.

Decked out in a shimmering red turtleneck dress, the singer turned actress greeted the audience after a brief introduction from Tyler Oakley. “I love you so much,” she said, per a clip from Good Morning America. “Thank you so, so much from the bottom of my heart for being here tonight.”

Then, as she’s done throughout the whirlwind press circuit, Gaga heaped praise on her costar and director, Bradley Cooper. “All you need is just for one person to believe,” Gaga told the audience. “So, I have to say thank you to my incredible director, Bradley Cooper. This is the moment that Bradley gives the film over to you and to the world. I am so grateful and so humbled that it is moving people and that’s all that matters. So, this our gift to you. We love you.”

Unless you’ve recently signed a year-long lease for a sensory-deprivation tank, it’s been impossible to ignore the enormous hype surrounding this movie. It currently sits at a sparkling 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and is considered by many to be the front-runner at this year’s Oscars. Beyond the merits of the film itself, Gaga’s ultra-devoted fan base has been crucial in elevating A Star Is Born to the top of the pop-culture pyramid. So naturally, she also thanked her Little Monsters for helping to get her to this point.

“It would be a lie to not think each and every one of you who has supported me over the years, I would not be here without you,” she said. She added, per E! News, that she will “never forget when I looked into the eyes of my fans for the first time and I saw myself,” and added that “you are fighters. You are beautiful, and I love you.”

That’s going to be one helluva an Oscars acceptance speech.
