Hoorary! Matthew Perry is returning to TV as the co-writer, executive producer and lead actor in a new comedy yet to be named.

Perry, who turned 40 in August, conceived the comedy, in which he will play a self-involved manager of a second-rate sports arena who begins to re-evaluate his life on his 40th birthday.

After meeting with a number of writers, Perry teamed with Sony-based Alex Barnow and Mark Firek, who will pen the script with him and exec produce.

Oh I cannot wait! I LOVED Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, I just wish more people had the dry sense of humor that goes along with Matthew Perry. I really hope the networks give his new venture a chance. I mean, if that awful show starring fellow Friends alum Courteney Cox, Cougar Town can get picked up, his new should be able to be given a shot.

(sorry, I really wanted to like Cougar Town.)

He does take a pretty picture.

I hope that Kanye West is focusing on getting better in that Ashram, because his career is falling apart.  The VMA meltdown, the canceled tour with Lady Gaga (that she’s continuing alone), and now Kanye’s fashion line Pastelle is dunzo.

But it doesn’t sound like there was much of a clothing line to give up anyways.

So meticulous is Kanye as a designer that after working on Pastelle for over a year, he only produced four Pastelle pieces, including three articles of clothing and a belt.

Wow! A BELT! When are we going to realize that Kanye needs to stop getting smoke blown up his tushy and people telling him he is the greatest ever at everything.

Take time at that ashram, Kanye. Stay there as long as you need. Until next December is my suggestion.

Hmmm, newly engaged Chris Noth arrived on set for Sex and the City shooting Monday (October 12).  Someone does not look happy to have the paps there taking his picture.  I wonder if Chris Noth’s just as bugged as Sarah Jessica Parker is about the paps.

Or maybe he realized he had been walking around with his fly down.

This story made me laugh so hard. A makeup free Nicole Kidman was out getting some coffee in NYC, when the girl behind the counter said she looked like Tom Cruise’s ex-wife. Not “Nicole Kidman”, but “that lady who used to be married to Tom Cruse”! heehee.

“The woman behind the counter loudly proclaimed, ‘You look just like that lady who used to be married to Tom Cruse. Does anyone ever tell you that?’”
“Nicole ignored the question, placed her order, went bright red, and then quickly ran out the shop before anyone else recognized her.”

I guess that could be embarrassing, but this supposedly happened in NYC. And if you’re prone to being embarassed, don’t visit NYC. People will say just whatever they want. And I’m sure the coffee girl was being complimentary. It could have been worse! It’s not like she said “that hag that was married to Tom Cruise”.

But Nicole is kind of shy. Poor thing.
