David SchwimmerFormer Friends star David Schwimmer has quashed rumours of a movie version of the hit TV series - blaming the press for fuelling speculation about a reunion.

The show came to an end in 2004 after 10 seasons, but the cast have been dogged by rumours of a possible big screen adaptation ever since.

Funnyman Seth Rogen is desperate to film a full frontal nude scene - because he’s convinced it’s the only way for a comedic actor to succeed in the movie business.

Rogen pulled his pants down to show his naked backside in forthcoming film Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

But he insists it was a captivating performance by his pal, actor Jason Segel, which convinced him that going fully nude should be his next step on set.

Actor Robert Downey Jr has signed a new deal with Marvel Studios to reprise his role in The Avengers.

The star will also appear in two more Iron Man movies as part of the contract, reports industry magazine Variety.

Iron Man 2 is due for release in 2010 while the next installment of The Avengers will hit cinemas in 2011.

Estelle Reiner - who famously said “I’ll have what she’s having” in When Harry Met Sally - has died at the age of 94.

The singer/actress, wife of funnyman Carl Reiner and mother of actor/director Rob Reiner, passed away at her home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles on Tuesday.

She became a Hollywood legend for her cameo role in the 1989 romantic comedy in which she uttered the immortal line to a waiter at a New York delicatessen after Meg Ryan’s character faked an orgasm.
