And Matthew Perry almost didn't play Chandler: new book

(NEWSER) - Can you picture anyone other than Matthew Perry playing the sarcastic-yet-lovable Chandler on Friends? Neither could creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, but Perry—who was committed to another pilot at the time—almost wasn't cast in the role. "We brought everybody in. We were so sure that Chandler would be the easiest part to cast. It’s got the most joke jokes. It’s sarcastic and kind of quippy, but no one could do it. No one," says Crane in a new book about NBC previewed in Vanity Fair . Craig Bierko was the best option, but he passed on the show and Perry was ultimately released from his other pilot. More»

And she still has 'strong feelings' for David Arquette

(NEWSER) - Courteney Cox just can’t get mad at David Arquette, even if he did blab about their sex life to Howard Stern . “He’s not a malicious person. … He’s not out to harm,” she explains in a Harper’s Bazaar cover story. “I'm not saying there wasn't some crazy behavior, but if you know who David is, you know what his intentions are, how honest he is, and how big his heart is … I’m his biggest protector. I can’t help it.” More from the interview:

• On her relationship with Arquette: “I thought I had always been a little bit of a cougar with David. I don't find the whole cougar word that offensive. And also, a cougar is someone who takes care of herself and goes out with younger guys. She doesn't need a man to take care of her.”
