Los Angeles, CA - After 10 years of costarring together
on the popular series "Friends," new allegations
were revealed Thursday that disputes repeated claims by the
actors that they are actually friends in real life.
"They pretty much hate each other's guts," said
one network source who asked to remain anonymous. "A
guy like David Schwimmer is just as annoying in real life
as he is on TV -- and the rest of them are worse. It's all
just a big lie so the public will like them more."
Several memos, internal documents and post-it notes with
angry scribbled messages seemed to back up the claims, which
surfaced just a week after the cast of the long running show
taped their final episode. An episode taped in secrecy to
a handpicked audience.
"Of course it was taped in secrecy, that's so nobody
could hear them screaming and swearing at each other,"
said conspiracy hobbyist Mel Evers. "They all just wanted
to get out of there and cash their last paychecks and go home.
It's so obvious when you study their body language on the
show how much they detest each other.
Warner Brothers executives denied there was any animosity
towards David Schwimmer and called "preposterous"
reports that [Schwimmer] and his on-again off-again s jilted
lover, Lisa Kudrow, whom he accuses of giving him a venereal
disease last summer, tried to kill him with an icepick. Or
the burning rage that Courtney Cox Arquette feels for having
to kiss Matthew Perry, who hasn't spoken to Cox-Arquette since
six weeks into the second season. Or how Matt Leblanc thinks
that Jennifer Aniston is whoring around with Brad Pitt, just
to make him jealous.
The cast was quick to repeat,, as they have in every interview
since 1992, that they "really really like each other
a lot and spend a great deal of time with each other even
off the set."
Lisa Kudrow, married with a child in real life says that
she absolutely loves David Schwimmer just like she loves everyone
else in the cast. "He's like a brother to me. We are
all such good friends. Close wonderful friends...in real life.
We don't give each other venereal diseases. We give each other
back rubs and gift baskets!"
Some reporters were not convinced.
"I admit, I asked them if they were really friends in
real life several times." ABC's Barbara Walters said.
"I remember looking into Jennifer's [Aniston] eyes when
she said they loved to spend time with each other and truly
loved each other, and I had suspected she was lying. I feel
like I failed as a journalist because I didn't ask follow
up questions. I was too busy trying to make her cry."
House Democrats said they would expand their investigation
into intelligence failures over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
program to include the allegations that the "Friends"
stars actually hate each other's guts.
"Hard working Americans have been lied to over and over
again and we're not going to take it anymore," Democratic
presidential front-runner John Kerry said during a campaign
speech Friday. "That is why, effective immediately, I
have asked my colleagues in the Senate to divert resources
to create a new bipartisan subcommittee to seek out the truth
in this matter. And we'll also look into that thing with Iraq."
