Ryan Reynolds is Hollywood's new top gun after beating Tom Cruise's lap time during a racetrack challenge for British TV show "Top Gear."

The star got behind the wheel of a Kia hatchback for the show's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment, which aired in the U.K. on Sunday, and admitted the challenge was frustrating for him because he prefers to ride motorcycles.

Footage of his lap had to be bleeped considerably because he hurled obscenities throughout his drive.

He told host Jeremy Clarkson, "I'd like to think I'm a horrible driver. I ride motorcycles everywhere, so you can just race...

Matt LeBlanc has ruled out a "Friends" movie because he'd rather fans remember the beloved TV characters as they were when the sitcom ended.

There has been much speculation about a "Friends" reunion ever since the hit show went off the air in 2004, but LeBlanc insists a get together is as unlikely as ever - and talk of a possible film is futile.

He insists Friends will never be able to transition from the small screen to the big screen like Sex & the City did.

The actor explains, "Sex & the City is always a single kind of a show, like a film, so it made the transition from television to ...

The Central Perk coffee shop sofa used by the characters in hit sitcom Friends has been added to the year's most exciting memorabilia auction.

The couch and other Friends keepsakes, like the Jouets Rocking Horse print from Courteney Cox's character Monica's room and even a "cast & crew only" snow globe Christmas gift, will go under the hammer at the Profiles in History Icons of Hollywood auction later this month in Los Angeles.

Other must-have items up for grabs include the ruby slippers and Cowardly Lion costume from The Wizard Of Oz, the DeLorean sports car from Back to the Future III, ...

After spending time getting to know FOX on Tuesday, I handled three networks a few days later. Friday at the TCAs (Television Critics Association) was devoted to CBS and its two sister networks, Showtime and The CW. All three brought their midseason shows, as well as executive sessions and a CW panel devoted to the "kick-ass" women of their various series. Here's the dish from the Eye and beyond:

CBS Executive Session

My week of Showtime previews continues with a look at Episodes, the second new series that the network will debut on January 9 (the first being Shameless). Episodes focuses on a British couple named Beverly and Sean (Green Wing costars Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan) who experience culture shock when their successful UK television series is adapted for an American audience. As a fan of many British shows, several of which have been butchered in American translation - in fact, Episodes rings amusingly like the story of the Brit sitcom Coupling - I have to say this is a neat and probably ...

It’s almost the new year – and you know what that means. No, it’s not time to wonder when Dick Clark is going to retire from his New Year’s Eve show. Midseason is almost upon us – and several new shows are set to premiere shortly, while other favorites are slated to return. Here’s a rundown:

This is Christian Slater’s third attempt at a series in as many years. This go round, he’s part of a team of tech experts who are tapped to be consultants on cyber security for large corporations. Here’s hoping third time’s a charm.

Matt LeBlanc is so fed up with fans referring to him as his Friends character Joey he launched into a foul-mouthed rant at reporters on Tuesday insisting the show is "in the past."

The star rose to fame as lovable character Joey Tribbiani in the hit sitcom in the 1990s alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. LeBlanc went on to film two seasons of spin-off show Joey when Friends ended in 2004, but he has failed to make a mark in the industry following the program's cancellation.

The actor has seemingly grown tired of fans still greeting h...

Matt LeBlanc is back on TV with a new series on Showtime. Episodes stars Matt LeBlanc as Matt LeBlanc. The fictional Matt LeBlanc is cast in an American remake of a British series. Hilarity ensues. For LeBlanc, it was the first show that was worth interrupting his private time with family.

“There was a few network shows that came and went that crossed my desk that I said no to,” LeBlanc said at the Television Critics Association fall press tour. “I just took the time, 12 years [of Friends and Joey] every day was a lot. It was a great time but I wanted to take some time off and spend time w...

Matthew Perry is fed up with constant rumors about a Friends movie - he has pleaded with fans to stop pestering him about a big-screen version of the hit show.

The cast of the "legendary" program has faced constant speculation they will reunite for a film version of the comedy since it finished in 2004. Lead stars Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc have brushed off the rumors several times - and Perry wants the gossip to stop altogether.

In a message on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Just to clear something up..I love Friends fans. I...

Brooke Shields is planning to give the other side of her marriage to retired tennis ace Andre Agassi when she writes her own memoirs.

Agassi went public with private details of his two-year marriage to the actress in his tell all Open, but Shields insists he left a lot of details out.

And she hopes to address them in her memoirs - especially her ex-husband's account of a tantrum he threw on the set of sitcom Friends when Shields licked show regular Matt Le Blanc's hand in a scene.

We all have our favorite shows, especially the ones we used to beg mom and dad to let us stay up and watch. Or the shows we watched with our friends every week and discussed the next day in school because it was the most exciting event in our lives. Most of these shows are played in syndication, but the true fans want to know what's going on with our favorite characters now.

Here are the top shows that we'd love to see do reunion specials:

For some actors, it is hard to make the crucial transition into film as a television star. Especially if you are typecast as a certain character and most people can't think of you as anyone else (for example, Matt LeBlanc as Joey on Friends). Television actors put their careers on the line when they leave their steady jobs to branch out into the film world, and they either make it or they don't. Here are the top television stars who managed to hold their own in the film world.

With an eagerly anticipated Gossip Girl spinoff in the offing, as well as a number of other spinoffs and remakes, the 2009-2010 television fall schedule feels awfully familiar. Unfortunately, there's no rhyme or reason as to whether these spinoffs actually fly. For every Frasier, there is a Joey. The winners are shows that garnered critical acclaim and/or cult status. The losers are shows that destroyed the integrity of beloved characters and were generally poorly written and conceived.

Some of the more recent TV spinoff successes and failures:

Former Will & Grace co-stars Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes are set to star in a spin-off of the hit comedy. The pair will reprise their camp double-act in "Karen & Jack," which is currently in development at network NBC.

According to sources, Hayes was keen on a spin-off soon after "Will & Grace" ended in 2006 - but was put off by the failure of Matt LeBlanc's Friends follow-up Joey. Plans were then derailed when Mullally landed a talk show - but that flopped, throwing the pair back together again.

The insider tells the National Enquirer, "They feel there is still a lot of life le...

Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc has quietly settled a legal spat with his former business manager. Camille Cerio claimed the actor owed her over $1 million in commission after breaching a contract.

Her suit prompted an angry Le Blanc to call for Cerio to undergo a mental evaluation in July, insisting his former aide was suffering from a "major depressive disorder."

But the two parties settled the matter out of court at the end of last month, and the agreement papers have just been filed in Los Angeles.

Details of the settlement have not been disclosed.

It is widely acknowledged that workplace romances are a definite no-no; clearly, some famous actors and actresses didn't get the memo.

Matt LeBlanc has hit back at his former business manager's claims he owes her commission by requesting a judge order her to undergo a mental evaluation.

Camille Cerio filed suit against the former Friends star for breach of contract last August, claiming he stopped paying her in 2000 and now owes her fees of over $1 million.

However in a motion filed on Tuesday, LeBlanc alleges Cerio has a "major depressive disorder" and asks that she be evaluated by a court-appointed psychologist.

A hearing is set for August 13th, reports TMZ.com.

When the television became available in the early 20th century, who would have ever thought it could became such a vital part of pop culture and media coverage? These days the "Boob Tube" still holds power over even the most casual of viewers with its advertising campaigns and storytelling prime time shows.

The television is used to entertain as well as inform, and over the years thousands of shows were created to catch the attention of the public. Only so many shows are able to grab the love and approval of audiences, and even less than that stay memorable after years pass on. Here a...

Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc is heading to court after allegedly failing to pay his former business manager $1 million.

Camille Cerio is suing the actor for breach of contract and claims he owes her commission for managing his career. LeBlanc maintains he has paid Cerio more than $200,000 in payments, but in a lawsuit filed at Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, Cerio claims the amount is nothing compared to his royalties from Friends and spin-off Joey.

Cerio claims that LeBlanc agreed to cut her 15 per cent from all the pilots, but stopped paying her in 2000. T...

A representative for Warner Bros film studio has quashed speculation of a Friends reunion movie. The hit TV sitcom - which starred Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc - came to an end in 2004 after a 10-year run.

It was rumored earlier this week that Cox and Aniston were keen to reprise their roles for a movie version of the show, as long as the story was right.

They were alleged to have been inspired by the massive box office success of Sex and the City: The Movie, which was turned from a TV series into a big-screen film e...

Actresses Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are reportedly enthusiastic to turn hit TV show Friends into a movie after witnessing the box office draw of Sex And The City: The Movie. Friends came to an end in 2004 after a 10-year run.

Rumors of a reunion have repeatedly been denied by former cast members Cox, Aniston, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow. But now it appears the stars may be ready to return to Central Perk to cash in on the sitcom's popularity following the success of Sex and the City, which was turned from a TV series into a big-screen film ear...

It's a nice foggy day in San Francisco, and it's good to see that. This might seem nitpicky, but "Eli Stone" rarely features establishing shots of the city with the famous fog present, so it's a nice change. The writers don't waste any time moving things along this week, as Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) gets his vision in the first scene. And it's...wait for it...a vision of the future! No, it's not a dark, Sarah Connor-like nightmarish view of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but hey, it's still the future! Seems like a man named Dennis Mosley (Sterling K. Brown) is quite the popular leader in ...

For 10 years, 30 million viewers turned in each week to check out what was going on in the lives of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross.

A woman claiming to be Matt LeBlanc's ex-manager is suing the star over cash she alleges he still owes her. Camille Cerio has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles in which she claims LeBlanc owes her for career advice she continued to give the actor after they parted company in 1995.

Cerio claims her one-time client still owes her in excess of $1 million - as part of an existing deal concerning a percentage of the actor's TV salaries from Friends and spinoff flop Joey.

A spokesman for LeBlanc tells TMZ.com, "In a land of meritless lawsuits, this is the king of all cases without merit....

The stars of cult sitcom Friends are secretly plotting a comeback - for a possible Thanksgiving catch-up episode. David Schwimmer, Matt Le Blanc, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox have all had varying degrees of success since the show ended in 2004, but now Cox and Aniston have started talking about a return to the sitcom's coffee shop Central Perk - even if it's just the two of them.
