Kristin Davis reveals which Friends star she was set up with on a blind date before she landed Sex And The City
That lucky star was the late actor Matthew Perry.
The Sex And The City actress recalled how a mutual attorney friend she shared with the star - who tragically died aged 54 in 2023 - arranged for them to go on a blind date.
Speaking on iHeartRadio's Are You A Charlotte? podcast, she said: 'He's not my lawyer, but he's a nice lawyer, and I've been set up with Matthew Perry.
'And this is like '98, '99, '97 maybe. I feel like it was between Melrose Place, which I did before [Sex And The] City, and it was at a house. It was a dinner party. It was so low-key.'
The party was filled with 'a bunch of Hollywood people', but she can't remember any of the other guests.
She added: 'I don't even know who was there other than this lawyer and Matthew.'
Kristin enjoyed her time chatting to the Friends star, as he opened up about his experiences on the sitcom.
She recalled: 'Matthew's lovely. He sits next to me. And he's talking about how thrilled he is, how happy they are on the set at Friends, and he was doing a film with Salma Hayek.
'I was like, 'Wow, he's so happy.'
Although they didn't pursue anything romantic, the couple's conversation gave her pause for thought about her own career.
She explained: 'I had been around Melrose and it wasn't the happiest place in a way.
'There were 15 series regulars. Everyone had the feeling they might get cut, so it was that competitive and stressy.'
Things could have been very different, as Kristin previously revealed she actually auditioned for the role of Monica - who became the wife of Matthew's character Chandler Bing - but missed out.
She said: 'I think I was one of, like, 8,000 young ladies who read for Monica and Courteney Cox got her.'
Kristin and Courteney were actually 'in the same yoga class at the time' and they used to socialize together too, while she can still remember Courteney's reaction to landing the role.
She revealed: 'One day, Courteney was like, "Hey, guys. Do you want to come car shopping with me?" We were like, "Wow, car shopping!"
'[Courteney] said, "I did this pilot, I'm feeling really good about it. I think I'm going to buy a Porsche."
'We were like, "Wow, is she for real?" It was Friends, and it did go very well.'

Take a Ted Lasso-inspired tour of Kansas City as filming locations for season 4 are revealed
Filming of the highly anticipated fourth season of comedy-drama Ted Lasso is underway in Kansas City, Missouri. And it looks like the Midwestern destination will feature heavily in the Apple TV+ series, which sees KC native Jason Sudeikis playing a small-time American football coach hired to manage English soccer team AFC Richmond. A teaser clip of a Kansas City restaurant scene was posted to Instagram by Apple TV+ and the cast and crew have been spotted in several other locations around the city. Here, we reveal how you can follow in their footsteps with a breakdown of the key filming spots used so far. The Plaza Several scenes have already been filmed at the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City's historical downtown retail area, which features 15 city blocks of Spanish-inspired architecture, dozens of fountains and the chance to shop trendy designer brands and dine at popular restaurants. Season 4 reportedly sees Ted coaching a women's football team and during filming at The Plaza, Sudeikis was seen wearing a jacket sporting the branding for the Kansas City Current team, the first National Women's Soccer League team to sell out all of its home games. Gates Bar-B-Q There are five Gates Bar-B-Q restaurants across the Kansas City metropolitan area, but it was the Main Street branch that will be seen on screen in Season 4. Apple TV+ posted to Instagram a teaser scene filmed at the eatery, which is famed for its signature sauce and the Kansas City specialty 'burnt ends' – flavorful, caramelised pieces of meat from the point end of the brisket. CPKC Stadium Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, have been spotted filming at the CPKC, home of the Kansas City Current. The CPKC opened in March 2024 as the world's first privately financed stadium purpose-built exclusively for a professional women's football team.. 18th & Vine District The historic jazz district is one of Kansas City's must-sees and home to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where the crew spent a whole day filming.

Kourtney Kardashian wears a sex toy over her sheer nightie in outrageous post
Kourtney Kardashian was wearing a sex toy over her pale yellow and very sheer lace-trimmed nightie while posing at a home. The new image was posted to her Insta Stories on Tuesday evening with no explanation. The item was either a nipple clamp or a double nipple piercing attached by a long silver chain. The clamps or piercing sections were somehow attached to the fabric covering her nipples as she smiled coyly like she was up to something naughty. Fans already know the reality TV siren liked nipple clamps because she showed one off in April 2017. The 46-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran posted a Snapchat of a packaged box of nipple clamps. 'Nipple clamp ready,' she wrote in the photo of the sex toy. The snap no doubt left Kourtney's fans wondering what exactly she was up to, or if the product even belonged to her, considering it was still packaged. Nipple clamps are used to cause pain in the nipples as part of certain BDSM activities. They are also used to produce erotic stimulation. In this context they are not primarily used to produce pain but rather to increase nipple sensation. A nipple piercing with a chain, also known as a nipple chain or chain nipple piercing, involves a chain connecting two nipple piercings. The chain can be attached to rings or barbells inserted into the nipples. These chains can feature various designs and embellishments, such as gemstones. In July Kardashian shut down rumors she's pregnant. The Poosh founder has been inundated with comments about her looking pregnant in her holiday pictures from Portofino, Italy. In response, Kourtney insisted she is simply indulging in Italian cuisine and is still breastfeeding her 21-month-old son Rocky - whom she has with husband Travis Barker. One user commented on the Instagram carousel she posted from the vacation: 'You can tell from the bikini reflection photo Kourtney is pregnant again.' The Kardashians star - who also has Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and 10-year-old Reign with ex-partner Scott Disick - replied: 'Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!' Travis is also dad to Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana, 26, from his marriage to Shanna Moakler. And, Kourtney recently said she believes their blended family has given them a 'deeper' existence. Appearing on her sister Khloe Kardashian's Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, she said: 'I love my role as stepmom, because I don't feel like its up to me to discipline. 'We've kind of allowed each other to—we'll talk about it, he can handle the harder things. I definitely give advice or try to be a good role model. 'Some days I've thought like, 'Wow, this is really hard blending families.' But even in the days that are hard, there's so much more love. It's such a deeper, richer existence.'
