Friends star's nepo-baby son is following in their acting footsteps – but can you guess who his famous parent is?
THIS nepo-baby was born into television royalty, thanks to one of his parents being a cast member of Friends. The rising star in question is now forging his own career as an actor, but can you guess which star of the famous sitcom he's related to? 7 7 7 7 We are of course talking about Lisa Kudrow's son, Julian Murray Stern, 27. The actress, 61, is best known for playing Phoebe Buffay in Friends, alongside Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry. Lisa was actually pregnant with Julian whilst she was filming the show. Her pregnancy was written into the fourth season of Friends in 1998, when Phoebe was carrying her brother's triplets. Lisa previously recalled some fond memories of this time on the set of the famous sitcom. "The six of us would do a huddle backstage and just say, 'All right, have a good show, love you love you love you love you.,'" she told People. "And when I was pregnant, then they would say, 'Have a great show, love you love you — love you, little Julian!' "This was because we knew it was a boy and that was his name. She then added how "sweet" she found this gesture from her famous co-stars. Lisa shares Julian with her French husband Michael Stern, who she wed in 1995. Following in his famous mom's footsteps, Julian is forging a career in acting and has starred in the TV series, That's Hollywood, Baby, and the short film. Big City Boy. He has also got a number credits for editing. Lisa would often bring Julian to work with her when she filmed Friends, so he grew up on the set. 7 7 However, her son hasn't always a fan of his mother's work. During an interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Lisa revealed how her Julian only recently watched the first few episode of Friends, and was surprised at how 'impressive' it was. 'He called me up and said, 'So I just watched the first two episodes. It's really good, Mom,' " she revealed. "I said, 'Thanks.' He said, 'Can I ask you some questions about that?' I'm like, 'Yes!' I almost started crying. I didn't think that anyone in my family liked that show." She continued, "He was 5 when we were finished … but he did start watching when his friends at school started watching. "[But when] he watched it and he was impressed." Lisa is incredibly proud of her son, and told OK! magazine in 2020: "He's unbelievably lucked out." She added: "I try to advise him about girls, then I realise I probably don't know what I'm talking about."

AI Will Connect Mercedes-Benz Places Residents to the World
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sixty-seven stories above sea level, Mercedes-Benz Places sits as one of the many high rises on the Miami skyline bearing an automaker's name. Aston Martin Residences, Porsche Design Tower and Bentley Residences are all nearby, as are the Armani/Casa and Fendi Chateau. To stand out, Mercedes-Benz Places is relying heavily on its brand affiliation. Design and technology features throughout the space are meant to welcome homeowners, shoppers, diners and visitors into a fully immersive Mercedes-Benz ecosystem. The exterior of the condominium structure features horizontal brightwork reminiscent of the center console vents in the new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan and the rounded edges of the building play on the car's armrest design. The evolving juxtaposition of the two-tower structure gives the eye something unique to look at in a sea of light-colored towers as it moves toward the sky. While driving an artificial intelligence-enhanced Mercedes-Benz, such as the new CLA, Places residents will be able to seamlessly move throughout their day. Transitioning from morning to night with work or play in between, with AI assistance. "Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami is designed as a highly integrated living experience," Michael Stern, CEO of JDS Development Group, told Newsweek. "As truly a mixed-use project, Mercedes-Benz Places includes residences, a hotel, office, wellness and food and beverage outlets. Forward-thinking technology, mobility and sustainability features, and community programming support this future-oriented, integrated lifestyle, including the large-scale, reimagined park at the ground floor, to the many spaces for gathering, entertaining and socializing." Among the features of the 2.5 million-square-foot build are over 1,000 parking spaces, over 800 condominium residences, a 175-key hotel, 130,000 total square feet of amenity and hospitality space and 200,000 square feet of office space. There is also a public park that surrounds the Brickell neighborhood space. It will be filled with a basketball court, a dog run, green space, a kid-friendly section and a restaurant that will be built into the historic building that once housed Miami's first high school. Each condo buyer can customize their space from a selected materials and color palette developed in partnership with the Mercedes-Benz team, led by Mercedes-Benz's Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener. Prospective buyers can see the options at the site's experience center. In its Finish Room, the sales team shares floor plans and views with clients, helping them understand what their unit could look like. Like when ordering a car, customers are presented with a curated menu of options they can choose from. Unlike what is available from Mercedes' Manufaktur arm, high levels of materials and design customization aren't able to be accommodated. Instead, as with a car, the highest level of customization and personalization comes from AI. "AI and connected technology have been part of the design process (a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, SHoP Architects, and Woods Bagot), and will be experienced in many ways throughout the property, including through an in-home 'dashboard' in your private kitchen," Stern said. One potential AI-linked opportunity is a valet summon capability. Imagine a blend of technology that knows your schedule, traffic, navigation and climate control preferences that would be able to ask the condo complex's valet to pull up your car so you can be sure to leave on time, in comfort. Or, utilizing self-driving features, your Mercedes car could drive itself out of the deck and into the porte-cochère so it is ready and waiting for you when you arrive on the ground floor. "Seamless communication will be available at every turn. Not just a 'SmartHome', this is a SmartBuilding, and SmartLifestyle, where your car can talk to your home," Stern said. Additional high-tech amenities at Mercedes-Benz Places include an F1 simulator, recording studio and custom app. The first residences in the building are expected to be inhabited in 2027.
