    'Friends' reunite in 'Cougar Town'

    These "Friends" like sticking together.

    Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, who starred as Monica Geller and Phoebe Buffay for 10 seasons on NBC's "Friends," have reteamed for Wednesday's episode of "Cougar Town," Cox's ABC comedy that earned her a Golden Globe nomination for her role as zany divorcee Jules Cobb. Kudrow guest stars as a nasty dermatologist who digs her claws into Cobb's ex-husband.

    "I get to play a really mean person," teased Kudrow, "so that's really fun."

    During a break from filming the episode last November, the duo - who are pals in real life, as evidenced by their unabashed banter - chatted about working opposite each other again. (Last year, Cox guest starred on Kudrow's wry online improv series "Web Therapy" as a psychic looking to get her sixth sense back from Kudrow's matter-of-fact therapist.)

    Kudrow insisted she would have taken just about any role offered on "Cougar Town," as long as it didn't require any nudity, something that apparently hasn't been an issue for the 45-year-old star of the show, who has taken it off in the name of laughs on more than one occasion since "Cougar Town" debuted on ABC last September to over 11 million viewers.

    "I've turned a corner," Cox said jokingly. "Now that I'm this age, I've decided to go as nude as possible."

    "You look great," Kudrow extolled.

    "No, Lisa, I'm lit well," Cox retorted.

    "Well, I could be on the surface of the sun, and it wouldn't look good," Kudrow quipped.

    Cox said there was an open invitation for all her "Friends" co-stars to stop by "Cougar Town."
