Central Perk Friends Wish I Was Here

“FRIENDS” – GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Photo: Warner Bros
Once in awhile, living in Los Angeles has its disadvantages. We missed out on the opening of the replica of the Central Perk pop-up coffee shop in Soho – it was opened to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Friends. (Of course Friends was actually FILMED in Los Angeles.) Fans have NOT forgotten – there was a line so long outside it was compared to the cronut experience. Inside the coffee haven there was a lot of memorabilia from the show on display and fans could photograph each other sitting on the same velvet couch that Jennifer Aniston sat on. Fittingly, Gunther from the TV series, presided over the opening day.

Ian Ziering Sharknado

IF HE’S NOT CAREFUL, IAN ZIERING MIGHT PRICE HIMSELF OUT OF THE NEXT SHARKNADO MOVIE

Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering and his wife Erin took their two little girls, Mia and Penna , to the Beverly Hills farmer’s market . The surprise success of the made-for-TV movie Sharknado changed his life and Ian says his wife Erin forced him to do it so he could keep his SAG insurance for the family. Sources say he was paid $400,000 for the first movie and has since gotten a raise for filming Sharknado 2 – another success for the Syfy network. Of course Sharknado 3 is in the works and Ian wants a big paycheck. Producers are nonchalant and insist the sharks are the real stars of the movie and the actors can all be replaced if they’re greedy. Our advice: Cooperate Ian, it’s better than performing with the Chippendales guys.

Art Courtney Stodden Doug Hutchison

COURTNEY STODDEN NEVER SAW A PICTURE OF HERSELF SHE DIDN’T LIKE

Courtney Stodden, 20, and her 54 year old husband Doug Hutchison showed up to admire their paintings at the World of Wonder gallery opening for pop artist Sham Ibrahim, at left above. They split up earlier this year while Courtney sowed some wild oats (she wanted to be “reckless” for awhile) but she missed Doug and took him back. The artist Sham urged them to hang their portraits prominently at home and we’re quite certain they did.

Jessica Simpson Kids

JESSICA SIMPSON IS GETTING HER KIDS ACCUSTOMED TO THE PAPARAZZI

Jessica Simpson has no qualms about showing off her kids – they both happen to be adorable. She and little Ace created quite a stir at The Grove. (Ace and his sister Maxwell both inherited Jessica’s chin dimple. Michael Jackson had one created by his plastic surgeon.) As Jessica and Ace were leaving, they were besieged by fans and photographers, but she totally kept her cool,and Ace did too.
