Jennifer Aniston changes her mind about a possible "Friends" reunion
Talk about a pivot! Last week while appearing on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Jennifer Aniston said that the cast of her old hit sitcom "Friends" would absolutely do a reunion show — this after years of evading the question. So why the change of heart? "Well, 'no' was getting me nowhere, and 'maybe' was getting me nowhere. So I thought I'd try 'yes.' Sorry," she explained to "Entertainment Tonight" days later at the premiere of her new Netflix movie, "Murder Mystery." She followed up, adding, "Anything could happen… I have no idea though. There's no plans in the immediate future."

Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley "despised each other" while co-starring on "The Vampire Diaries"
Nina Dobrev opened up about her time on the set of "The Vampire Diaries" during a chat on the podcast "Directionally Challenged." "Paul [Wesley] and I didn't get along at the beginning of the show. I respected Paul Wesley, I didn't like Paul Wesley," she explained. "I remember everyone would walk up to me after the show aired and they'd be like, 'Are you and Paul dating in real life?' Everyone thought that we had such good chemistry. I realize now that there's a fine line between love and hate and we despised each other so much that it read as love but… We really just didn't get along the first five months of shooting." She went on to say that now, she and Paul "hang out a lot. We're really good friends."

"The Good Place" to end after Season 4
That's a wrap! "The Good Place" starring Ted Danson and Kristen Bell is slated to end after its upcoming fourth season, it was announced on June 7. "Obviously because of that DNA, where status quos get blown up so frequently, this is not a show that is destined to be on for nine years," the comedy's showrunner-producer, Mike Schur, explained in December, hinting at what was to come. "It's not a 200-episode, 'Friends' kind of a deal. It's not a hangout show. So, yeah, we've given it a lot of thought, and we have a certain plan, which I think you'll get the sense of in the fairly near future." The final season will air this fall on NBC.
