'Friends' Reunion: Schwimmer's 'Major Crush' On Aniston, Gaga Sings "Smelly Cat" and More Revealed
The “Friends” reunion had some special guests and revealed several secrets about the show including David Schwimmer had a “major crush” on Jennifer Aniston. Schwimmer said, "The first season I had a major crush on Jen" which she affirms "was reciprocated." But he added they “never crossed that boundary." And while shooting Season 3 episode "The One Where No One's Ready" Matt LeBlanc's shoulder came out of its socket. He was taken to the hospital and fitted with a sling, which was written into the show. As for the special guests, Lady Gaga dressed in a Phoebe-inspired ensemble and joined Kudrow's performance of Phoebe's hit, "Smelly Cat." Model Cara Delevingne wore Rachel's pink bridesmaid dress from her former fiancé's wedding with its skirt tucked into red underpants, Cindy Crawford rocked Ross' steamy black leather pants while Justin Bieber wore Ross' unrecognizable Halloween costume Sputnik as he danced down the runway. MORE: Matthew Perry: Fans already know that he had his difficulties with substance abuse even back during the show, notably fluctuating in weight in response to his sobriety. In the reunion, he admitted to another behavior he now knows wasn't good for him, either. It came when the cast was talking about how they fed from that live audience experience. Courteney Coxremembered how she would challenge herself to get a bigger laugh after a line went over well. Perry said, "To me, I felt like I was gonna die if they didn’t laugh. It’s not healthy, for sure, but I would sometimes say a line and they wouldn’t laugh and I would sweat and just, like, go into convulsions. If I didn’t get the laugh I was supposed to get, I would freak out." The rest of his cast-mates looked at him with a sadness at how much pressure that must have been to carry for a decade. Lisa Kudrow replied, "You didn't tell us that. I don't remember you ever saying that." "Oh yeah," he said. "I felt like that every single night." Matt LeBlanc again put on all of Chandler's clothes at once -- and did the lunges -- and Tom Selleckdropped by to ask a trivia question of his own.

Richards generated 9.895 million viewers for one of his two weeks, and 9.729 million for the other. Rodgers attracted 9.193 million viewers per show for his first week and 9.081 million viewers per show for his second week. Katie Couric’s first week drew more viewers than Rodgers’ second week. Others — Dr. Oz, Bill Whitaker, and Anderson Cooper — landed at 8.51 million viewers per show and lower. The lowest week came from Cooper; for April 26 through April 30, Cooper drew an average of 7.75 million viewers. Also, a CivicScience study published this week shows that 22 percent of "Jeopardy!" fans want Jennings to be the permanent host, and that 16 percent want Rodgers.

More Giveaways For The Vaccinated: California Tops Them All With $116.5M In 'Prize Money'
Californians will be eligible for $116.5 million in prize money for getting coronavirus shots. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the giveaway aimed at getting millions more vaccinated before the nation's most populous state fully reopens next month. California isn't the first state to offer vaccine prizes, though its pot of money is the largest, and so is themost valuable single prize: $1.5 million. The state's reopening is pegged for June 15, and on that day a drawing will be held to award 10 vaccinated people the top prize. Another 30 people will win $50,000 each with those drawings starting June 4. Anyone 12 and older who has received at least one shot will be eligible. And the next 2 million people who get vaccinated will get $50 gift cards. The state estimates about 12 million Californians 12 and older have not been vaccinated. About 63% of the 34 million eligible have gotten shots, though the pace has slowed markedly in recent weeks as infection rates have plummeted.
Bigfoot Bounty of $3 Million Announced by Lawmaker
An Oklahoma state representative has announced a $3 million bounty for anyone who is able to safely capture the creature known as Bigfoot. Representative Justin Humphrey announced the bounty during a special presentation on the Oklahoma Senate floor on Wednesday. Humphrey said that a film crew will be documenting attempts to find the mythical creature over a 6-month period. The tentative airdate for the series is January 2022. He said, "It's not hunt by the way, we don't hunt Bigfoot, nobody wants to harm Bigfoot, we want to do a live humane capture of Bigfoot. We are wanting the whole world to come to Southeastern Oklahoma and to the state of Oklahoma and get involved in our bounty." It appears that the bounty is being put up privately, not by the state. Humphry tried to get the state to offer up a bounty of $25,000 to help boost tourism, but the bill didn’t pass.
