'Call Me Crazy': Jennifer Hudson and Ashley Judd among famous faces exploring mental illness for Lifetime
20 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
A schizophrenic hears voices and breaks from reality. A bipolar mom careens down the road, driving like, well, a maniac. A returning vet suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder because her commanding officer repeatedly raped her.
These examples of mental illness, usually fodder for somber documentaries, are presented as fictional accounts with uplifting resolutions in Lifetime's "Call Me Crazy: A Five Film," premiering Saturday, April 20.
The movie is five short films, with different directors, including Bryce Dallas Howard, Ashley Judd and Laura Dern, and starring Brittany Snow, Jennifer Hudson and Melissa Leo. Jennifer Aniston and Marta Kauffman are executive producers.
"It opened my eyes and exposed me to what that life is," Hudson tells Zap2it of her character, Maggie, the traumatized soldier. "She is a mother and a daughter, and she appears to be completely normal, but something like the rape happened to her and made her that much different. »

Jennifer Aniston Blames Matthew Perry For 'Friends' Reunion Rumors
18 April 2013 7:03 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jennifer Aniston discussed those pesky "Friends" reunion rumors when she stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" this week.
During her segment (above), the talk show host said she was responsible for reuniting the "Friends" cast. As the crowd cheered, Aniston clearly looked surprised and joked to the audience, "You're hearing it here first ... as am I!"
DeGeneres said about an hour before Aniston came on set to film her segment, the "Friends" rumors took flight. "Did Matthew Perry start that?" Aniston asked. "'Cause he's getting some good airtime on this show."
The rumors actually started when Khits, a radio station based in Tulsa, Ok, posted an image with the iconic "Friends" couch from Central Perk that reads, "Friends. The One With The Reunion. Thanksgiving 2014" with the caption, "This is the best Sunday news, evar [sic]!"
Another site took the information and claimed NBC confirmed the reunion, sending the Internet into a frenzy. »

'Friends' reunion not in the works

Washington, Apr 18: NBC has said that contrary to rumours of the 'Friends' reunion, the cast will not be getting back together for the revival of the popular series.
The rumours about the reunion began months ago after ruminations of a Thanksgiving 2014 reunion special began and sent social media sites in frenzy, and really caught fire after a major Latin America news outlet reported that the NBC that hosted the TV show had confirmed a new full-season order of the sitcom, CBS News reported.
But on Monday, "Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman told E! that the revival of the series was not happening.
"'Friends' was about that time. »

‘Friends’ Reunion Is ‘Not Happening,’ Creator Confirms
17 April 2013 10:02 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Marta Kauffman says ‘there’s no need’ to reunite the iconic sitcom’s cast. Are you bummed?
Rumors of a Friends reunion have existed since before the NBC comedy even aired its final episode in 2004, and while the show’s stars — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer — have always remained coy about potentially reuniting, co-creator Marta Kauffman is pulling no punches in a new interview.
“I’m going to clear this up; it’s not happening!” Marta told E! Online at the April 16 screening of Lifetime’s Call Me Crazy. “Friends was about that time in your life when your friends are your family, and once you have a family, there’s no need anymore.”
Marta was specifically responding to a new rumor, spawned by website Star Media, that the cast was planning to reunite for an entirely new season of the show. »

Friends Co-Creator: Reunion Is 'Not Happening'
17 April 2013 8:33 AM, PDT | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
"Friends" fans might want to take a cue from Ross Geller (aka Ross, The Divorcer) and remove themselves from the idea of the gang ever reuniting at Central Perk.
Despite rampant rumors claiming a reunion project with Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler and Joey is in the works, the show's co-creator, Marta Kauffman has squashed the idea.
"I'm going to clear this up--it's not happening!" Marta told E! News on Tuesday night at the premiere of Jennifer Aniston's latest project, "Call Me Crazy."

It started as “The One with the Reunion” and turned quickly into “The One with a Whole New Season,” but sadly, rumors that fans of the hit sitcom Friends will be seeing the much-loved gang back on their old orange couch at Central Perk sometime soon are decidedly untrue.
NBC has confirmed to EW that a Friends reunion is not in the works.
The buzz started months ago after rumors of a Thanksgiving 2014 reunion special began to make the social media rounds but really heated up late last week when a major Latin America news outlet reported that NBC had »

'Friends' reunion: Creator Marta Kauffman says it will 'never happen'
16 April 2013 10:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Sorry "Friends" fans. Not only is a reunion not happening now... but it's not happening ever.
This week, rumors circulated that NBC had confirmed a "Friends" reunion season. The whole thing seemed legit -- you know, except for the "press release" ridden with typos and the badly-photoshopped poster seen above.
Okay, so it didn't seem legit at all. A few precious folks were hopeful that a reunion was in the works, but Warner Bros. confirmed to Zap2it that there was nothing "Friends"-related planned. All the stars are busy with other projects -- including the Central Perk couch, which is currently hosting the butts of fans from far and wide at the Warner Bros. exhibit at the Paley Museum in La.
Now, "Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman has weighed in, telling EOnline that a reunion will "never ever happen."
Ouch. Twist that knife a little deeper. »

Friends Reunion Will Never Ever Happen, Says Co-Creator Marta Kauffman
16 April 2013 9:41 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Could the Friends reunion rumor be any more false? (Said in our best Chandler Bing voice.) The show's co-creator Marta Kauffman tells E! News exclusively that there's no truth to the latest rumor of the cast coming together for another season of the show. "I'm going to clear this up—it's not happening!" she said at last night's red carpet screening of Call Me Crazy, Lifetime's movie about mental illness premiering on the network on April 20. Kauffman also said a movie reunion will never happen. "Friends was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there's no need anymore," she said.

TV Reviews: HBO’s ‘Mary and Martha,’ Lifetime’s ‘Call Me Crazy’
15 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The TV movie remains in relative decline, which makes a weekend in which two high-profile versions with big-name stars and overt messages playing directly opposite each other especially noteworthy. It’s also instructive, in a compare-and-contrast sort of way, to consider why “Mary and Martha” — a moving return to intimate form for HBO — represents an emotionally stirring triumph, while Lifetime’s “Call Me Crazy: A Five Film” feels like an empty gimmick, an all-star marketing hook/public-service campaign in search of a movie.
After a stretch in which HBO has relied almost exclusively on attention-getting fact-based films like “Game Change” and “Phil Spector,” “Mary and Martha” harks back to when the service was content to tell great little stories — often with an agenda — that might not have been commercial enough to find a home elsewhere. And if one’s first thought is the 2005 gem “The Girl in the Cafe,” it »
