From the inside looking out: “Friends” co-star Lisa Kudrow, who recently wed French advertising executive Michel Stern, has ended up with more hiatus time to enjoy her new marriage than she expected. The actress – part of a series team that has exploded in popularity – had expected to co-star in an independent feature film this summer, but, she says, “It didn’t work out. … I’m being very careful, because, especially now – when the series’ success is new – people are watching us and what we do. Of course, you can’t be too careful or you end up doing nothing.”
Lisa is doing a big something Thursday night, when she joins castmate Jennifer Aniston in hosting the “VH1 Honors.” “Jennifer called and said, `Let’s do it,’ and it seemed like something fun and different,” she said of the show that’s set to include the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Vince Gill and Bette Midler. Lisa said she looks forward to showing that “I have a more sarcastic and deadpan sense of humor” than her series character, ditsy Phoebe, does. “Truth be told, Phoebe is the kind of person I would normally make fun of.”
