Matthew Perry Gets Feline Fever on Set
Originally posted 09/11/2012 03:25PM
Matthew Perry is back on primetime TV – and he's getting a little help from some feline friends.
The actor stars as a sportscaster grieving the death of his wife on the new NBC series Go On, and in Tuesday's episode, the process involves dealing with a handful of cuddly cats.
Though judging by the actor's expression, he's none to keen about having such a large group at home with him – perhaps what leads him to seemingly give them away later on.

NBC Promises End-of-World Drama, More Spinning Chairs at Upfronts

The annual TV upfronts have started in Manhattan, with the networks announcing their fall lineups and tossing sardine-size video clips into the open mouths of assembled advertisers and media people.
The big news out of NBCs presentation Monday is that The Voice, the network's standout hit, will be making more use of those wonderful swivel chairs. Yes, America, you will get to see more of Christina Aguilera swiveling, and you will be glad of it.
As to the actual new lineup ... well, NBC has had its problems with programming. Even the mightily promoted Smash, after a heavenly opening, sputtered. Its star, Katharine McPhee, was brought out not once but twice to perform at the upfront, but her show won't be back until midseason.

Matthew Perry at 40: Another 'Friend' Going Gray
Originally posted 08/04/2010 09:45AM
Taking a page out of former costar Matt LeBlanc's book, Matthew Perry refuses to work too hard at hiding the gray.
Asked if he'd resist covering up any silver streaks, the handsome-as-ever actor, who turned 40 last year, told a Television Critics Association panel while touting his new ABC sitcom, Mr. Sunshine: "I think so, until it doesn't look [right] … and then I'll change it. But I'm fine with the fact that some of my hair is gray. I think if it was all gray overnight that would be scary."
The former Chandler Bing of Friends was equally relaxed about having hit the milestone last Aug. 19, saying, "It just happened a year ago. So, it's okay."
