Jennifer Aniston is opening up about her friendship with the late Matthew Perry.

The actress said in a recent Vanity Fair cover story that she and the Friends cast had been mourning Perry long before he died from the acute effects of ketamine at age 54 in October 2023.

“We did everything we could when we could,” Aniston said. “But it almost felt like we’d been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight. As hard as it was for all of us and for the fans, there’s a part of me that thinks this is better. I’m glad he’s out of that pain.”

Aniston starred as Rachel Green on Friends while Perry portrayed Chandler Bing on the popular NBC sitcom.

The actress shared a tribute to Perry on Instagram shortly after his death. It included a photo of the pair laughing on the Friends set and a screenshot of a text message Perry had sent her of the same photo.

“Making you laugh just made my day. It made my day,” Perry’s text to Aniston read.

In her tribute caption, Aniston wrote that she loves Perry and still talks to him every day.

“Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain,” Aniston wrote. “I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?'”

Alicia Silverstone has shared an update on the Clueless TV series.

The actress spoke about what fans can expect from the upcoming Peacock show that continues the story from the 1995 Amy Heckerling film while guesting on Today.

“I’m really excited about it,” Silverstone said. “I think we’re going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher.”

Silverstone also said she wants to pay tribute to the source material but also create something new.

“So we want to honor that, but also bring something fresh and new to it. I’m confident that we’ll be able to do that, but we’re in baby stages right now,” Silverstone said.

Clueless was inspired by Jane Austen‘s classic novel, Emma. It follows a wealthy teenage girl from Beverly Hills as she plays matchmaker to two of her lonely teachers, gives a new friend a makeover and navigates her own love life.

Does your dog have what it takes to be the next Air Bud?

A nationwide casting call has opened up to find the next golden retriever to star in the upcoming film Air Bud Returns.

Robert Vince, who created the Air Bud franchise and has produced all 14 of its films, made the announcement in a video shared to the official Air Bud TV YouTube channel on Friday.

“For the first time ever, we’re opening up the auditions for the next Air Bud,” Vince said, before introducing the film’s lead animal trainer, Mark Forbes.

“We’re launching a nationwide search for our final star. We need a dog who is a purebred golden retriever, who’s athletic, and, ideally, he would love basketball just like the original Air Bud,” Forbes said.

The first Air Bud film was released in 1997 and starred Kevin Zegers.

This new film follows 12-year-old Jacob, who has always dreamed of being a basketball player. After his dad passes away, he feels like his dream might be impossible, until he “discovers an original VHS of the Air Bud movie in his father’s belongings and has a chance meeting of a stray golden retriever he names Buddy,” according to an official synopsis. “Together they embark on a journey of healing, unite a team of misfits, and chase a championship. Through it all they learn to play from the heart, believe in each other, and always take the shot!”

Air Bud Returns comes to theaters in summer 2026.

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are switching it up again in Freakier Friday.

The film, which serves as sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday, arrives in theaters on, of course, Friday.

Curtis told ABC News why this new film already feels so familiar to fans of the original.

“Because there’s nostalgia. Because the world feels really shaky and a little scary and very unstable and — in every way, right? Environmentally, politically, spiritually, it just feels a little shaky,” Curtis said. “What you return to is familiarity and safety. And that’s what nostalgia is.”

Lohan reprises her role of Anna Coleman in this new film, before she switches bodies with her teenage daughter, Harper.

“Playing Harper was fun because I remember I would get so jealous of Jamie playing a teenager in the original, because I had to be so buttoned up all the time,” Lohan said. “I was afraid it would come across as boring when I was young.”

Curtis also opened up about how many of the film’s locations burned down in the wildfires that tore through Los Angeles communities earlier in 2025.

“In the California fires, the house that we shot in, the original movie and this movie, burnt to the ground,” Curtis said. “You will look at the Pacific Palisades and you will know what it looked like because of movies like Freakier Friday. Because all of the driving and all the house and all that beautiful greenery, which is now gone because of those awful, devastating fires, will live on in Freakier Friday.”
