Matt LeBlanc also asks fans not to compare early episodes of Joey to the final Friends shows. He adds, "You just can't compare the last season of Friends with the first season of Joey. You have to compare like with like, and so compare the first season of Friends with the first season of Joey. You then have two shows where the cast and crew gel and evolve and the show gets better and better."

In a related incident, Brian Cashman wants this year's Yankees to be compared to the 1927 team instead of the 2004 club.

Hollywood couple (and my lunchmates) Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have invested a staggering sum on a rural site in Quebec, Canada - which they plan to turn into a luxurious ski retreat. The actors-turned-property moguls already have luxury homes in New York City, Los Angeles, Wales, Bermuda and the Spanish island of Majorca . . .
Have you guys been to Wales? A luxury home there is easily worth thousands, I'm telling you. Mud Hut Manor overlooking the coal pits . . . what a palace. I know, she's Welsh, but squeezing that one between L.A. and Bermuda was just funny.

Teen queen Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to blast her estranged father Michael Lohan in song on her sophomore album.
Among other things, she's criticizing him for passing down a complete absence of musical talent.

Is this what Jay Leno does every day? It's kind of fun.
