Lonely only? Not so for Lisa Kudrow‘s son Julian Murray.

During a Monday appearance on Bethenny, the former Friends star shared that her 14-year-old son isn’t looking for his parents to expand their tight-knit trio — not now, not ever!

“He doesn’t want siblings. Since he could talk he’d say, ‘No, no I don’t want a sister or a brother,’” the actress, 48, recalls. “Someone would get pregnant and he’d say, ‘But you’re not, right?’”

Still, Kudrow admits the future of an only child has her feeling sorry for her son.

Lisa Kudrow has described her Web Therapy character Fiona as a "terrible person". Kudrow previewed Web Therapy's latest season in an interview with TV Guide, explaining that the story arc centres on self-centred therapist Fiona seeking help from her sister (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). "Fiona sees her sister for therapy and her sister destroys her, but in an unobvious way," Kudrow revealed. She further explained: "Fiona starts rethinking her whole life and the next time we see her she's in bed, in tears, no make-up, pyjamas - just a mess. And we've never (more)...

Season two of the Lisa Kudrow comedy "Web Therapy" premiered last night on Showtime, with the "Friends" star returning as self-serving shrink Fiona Wallace, who's managed to convince her clients to see her for short video chat sessions instead of doing anything extended or in person. The show, which started as a short-form web series, is notable for the quality of the guest stars it brings on -- the premiere, which Showtime has made available in full on YouTube until July 31st at 11:59pm, features guest stars Alan Cumming, Rosie O'Donnell and Meryl Streep.

But at least we have a returning hero who wears the red, white, and (black and) blue on his sleeve. Spider-Man swings back into action after disappearing for… well, only five years. Andrew Garfield might be a Brit, but he was born in Los Angeles, so his Spidey is more All-American that the current Batman and upcoming Superman. U – S – A! U – S – A!!

Web Therapy's Fiona Wallice is crude, rude and she finally wants to become a better person in Season 2. But can she?

"Fiona sees her sister (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) for therapy and her sister destroys her, but in an unobvious way," Lisa Kudrow, who plays Fiona, tells TVGuide.com. "So Fiona starts rethinking her whole life and the next time we see her she's in bed, in tears, no makeup, pajamas — just a mess. And we've never seen her like that."

And unsurprisingly, it will be short-lived.

Craig Ferguson has been here before. For the second time since 2009, the power went out in his "basement" studio, and he was forced to do an even darker than usual broadcast of "The Late Late Show" (Weeknights, 12:37 a.m .Et on CBS). That said, Ferguson seems to revel in these mishaps, poking fun at the usual darkness of the studio by saying that he thought the lack of power might have been an improvement.

Guest Lisa Kudrow had fun with the power as well. "Isn’t this show owned by a huge conglomerate?" she asked. "I don’t understand!"

Luckily, Ferguson and his guests won't have to worry about it much longer. According to The Washington Post, Ferguson is scheduled to relocate his show to a new studio with better equipment -- and lighting? -- by the end of this summer.

Lisa Kudrow stars in the second season of "Web Therapy,...

It's difficult for many TV fans to think of Lisa Kudrow as anything other than the lovably goofy Phoebe Buffay on "Friends."

And for Kudrow, who is promoting Season 2 of her Showtime series "Web Therapy" (premieres Monday, July 2 at 11 p.m. Et), is can be a challenge as well. The actress told “Today” that she struggled with who she was playing when fellow "Friends" alum David Schwimmer, who played Ross, appeared as a guest star on "Web Therapy."

"That's a big deal," Kudrow said of Schwimmer's stint. "It was so fun and I did have like, 10 seconds, when we first started of, 'I don't know what Phoebe says to Ross here.'"

Schwimmer will appear in a four-episode arc of "Web Therapy" as Newell Miller, who first appears to be a stalker, but is the son of a professor Fiona (Kudrow) had an affair with in college. He saw the...

It’s not hard to understand why the concept behind Web Therapy would appeal to Showtime: it’s a super low-budget formula that banks heavily on the Lisa Kudrow’s quirkily arrogant performance as a frustrated therapist, and the barrage of familiar faces that pop up as her patients. Even for a show that banks on awkward moments and absurdly, impossibly large egos clashing together, Web Therapy isn’t a stand-out show when it comes to its comedy. The painfully unfortunate moments when Kudrow butts heads with the likes of Lily Tomlin, Victor Garber, or Jane Lynch can elicit chuckles, but that’s it and that’s not enough to sustain interest in a show where all you get are (literally) talking heads.

They no longer share a show, but Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc still share a network, so the former Friends stars reunited last night in L.A. to celebrate the second season of Matt's Showtime comedy, Episodes.

Video - Matt LeBlanc: My Friends Won't Call Me Back

Lisa, who co-created and stars in Showtime's Web Therapy, has previously said she's game for a crossover episode whenever Matt wants! "He is so great, so funny. I hope he'll have time."

Matt LeBlanc really doesn't want to disappoint people by having a "Friends" reunion.

While promoting his Showtime series "Episodes," LeBlanc touched on the topic every former "Friend" gets asked about: whether there will ever be a reunion.

"I don't want to see old Joey," he told EW.

In the EW interview, LeBlanc said that "Friends" was about a "finite period of time, before you got married and went off to start your life with a family," a time everyone can relate to. He said checking in on the characters now would "disappoint most people."

"Everyone’s going to have different vision of what those characters are like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people," he said. "A couple of people will go, 'That's what I thought!' but for the most part it’s going to let people down. It's better to let them just think.

The 4,750 some-odd members of the Producers Guild of America celebrated their 23rd Annual Producers Guild of America Awards over the weekend, and for the first time in the Guild’s 60+ year history, those members bestowed honors upon a web series. The only online only category in the ceremony - with nominees consisting of both original web series and companion and/or derivative programming of television properties - was one of four new categories the PGA added to its awards ceremony this year (the others were Sports Programs, News Programs, and Children’s Programs). And for its inaugural entry into the genre of online video, PGA members selected what those familiar with the industry will see as more or less obvious and/or predictable nominees.

The Producers Guild of America announced the winners of its theatrical motion picture and TV nominations for the 2012 PGA Awards. Check out the full list of nominees and winners (marked in red) below. This year's big winner was "The Artist," which means that the silent film will likely also go on to win the Oscar for Best Pictures since the PGA Awards predict the Academy Award winner about 75% of the time.

On television, "Modern Family" was chosen as the best comedy and "Boardwalk Empire" as the best drama.

Last night the Producers Guild of America (PGA) gave out awards for achievement in films and television released in 2011. The big winner was The Artist, which took home the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. As the winner of this award takes the Best Picture Oscar three times out of four, any betting on the top Oscar honor is pretty much over at this point. Read on for the full list of winners. The PGA website provides the list. In each case I've left the full slate of nominees, and winners are bolded.

The black-and-white and predominantly silent film has been picking up top prizes throughout the season, winning Best Picture awards at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the Golden Globes. On accepting the PGA distinction, producer Thomas Langmann said that when they “dreamed of making ‘The Artist,’ we knew we were dreaming of writing a love letter to American cinema.”
