What will Zac Efron look like when he gets older? Matthew Perry, that's who. The Friends star, 38, will play the older version of the High School Musical star, 20, in the new teen movie comedy 17, set to begin shooting early next month, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In it, Perry awakes one morning to find himself 17 years old again – and enrolled in high school with his own children. Well, what kid wouldn't want to cut class with Zac? –Stephen M. Silverman

Madonna Opening a Kabbalah Hotel?
Originally posted 06/10/2005 09:00AM
PLANNED: If Madonna's prayers are answered, she'll open a Kabbalah hotel and drop-in spiritual center in a five-story Georgian house in London's Regent Park that she's bought for a reported $14 million. Residents near the site, however, are not singing the praises of the plan, The Washington Post reports. One resident told Britain's London Evening Standard: "Having a Kabbalah center would be totally inappropriate. It is a seriously manipulative sect which is very good at getting people's money, including Madonna's." Asked this week if she thought her support of the sect had damaged her career, Madonna told NBC: "Absolutely not. I do know that there's cynicism involved, but I accept it because it's different. It's something new to people and people are always guarded and suspicious of things that are new."

Matthew Perry Directs His Dad
Originally posted 11/23/2004 06:00AM
Matthew Perry is focusing on being a son rather than a Friend this week, appearing as a guest star on Scrubs on Tuesday night with his father, John Bennett Perry. The younger Perry, who plays his real-life dad's son on the show, also makes his directorial debut. "I wanted to take my career in a slightly different direction and challenge myself and I found that a one-camera show is where my interests lie. I think it's the best way to learn how to possibly direct a movie," says Perry. As for directing Dad, he "took direction great in the episode. The other thing that's great is my father is a great musician and we were able to incorporate that into the show as well, so he plays guitar. It adds a level of heart and sweetness to the show that I think is pretty great." Well, that's, um, great. But Perry says that although he's interested in pursuing more directorial work, he'll still be in front of the camera as well. "It's important once you've completed a project as significant as Friends to kind of keep things open," he says. "I'm not interested in doing another sitcom and that's where most of the offers have come. There's no talk of me stopping acting. I'm doing a movie with Sally Field in January called Two Weeks. It's a drama and I can't wait to act with Sally Field. I just want to keep things open. I've been offered to direct things in the past and I just simply didn't know how. Now I feel like I sort of know how so I want to be able to do both."
