4/20 is here, folks! And to celebrate the oh, so hazy holiday of pot-smoking, we here at MStars News thought it best to count down the top five celebrity stoners that Hollywood has to offer. Naturally, the land-o-celebs is filled with a large number of people who smoke marijuana, but there are a select few (okay, maybe more) who actually seem to really publicize the ... hobby? From the comedy industry to the land of dramatic acting and music, pot is arguably more popular than drinking in Hollywood –– especially because it's rather legal in California if you have a prescription. Now, there's much speculation as to the meaning of 4/20 (or 4:20, 420 – however you want to spell it), but to us, it means one thing: people are smoking pot today... Read More »

While James Franco and Seth Rogen’s The Interview did pretty damn well over the weekend – mainly in online rentals and sales – it seems there’s another person who was pretty happy about it … Sony exec Amy Pascal. You remember her; Pascal was on the other end of those horrible Scott Rudin emails, which slammed the likes of Angelina Jolie for being a “brat” and “untalented.” Of course, that also let to the eventual pull (and then un-pull) of The Interview. Well, now Pascal is hoping the film’s success saves her job at Sony following the company’s massive email hack at the hands of North Korea … supposedly. Read More »
Back in 2005, fans of Lisa Kudrow immediately found themselves thrilled at the fact that the former Friends star was returning to television as Valerie Cherish in HBO’s The Comeback. And while it only lasted one season, that didn’t stop fans from clamoring and yearning for more of the oh, so persistent actress. Well, nine years later, they finally got their wish when HBO decided to revisit the series for an eight-episode, second season which ended earlier tonight with Kudrow’s character winning herself an Emmy for her new show Seeing Red – created by her Season 1 “nemesis” Paulie G (played by actor Lance Barber). And while she’s not necessarily present to accept the award, it seems that when she episode ends she’s right where she wants to be. Lisa Kudrow recently spoke with MStars News about Season 2 of The Comeback, her role as Valerie Cherish and even her thoughts on whether or not she’d be into doing a Friends movie and reprise her role as Phoebe Buffay.
