Ex-Friend Taking Matt LeBlanc to Trial
How you doin’? If you ask Matt LeBlanc, not so good.
A Los Angeles judge has ruled that a breach-of-contract lawsuit brought against the erstwhile Friends star by his ex-business manager can proceed to trial.
Superior Court Judge Harold I. Cherness shot down a motion by LeBlanc’s legal team seeking to dismiss the complaint filed last August by Camille Cerio, who claims she’s owed over $1 million in commissions.
Although Team LeBlanc insists Cerio received more than $200,000 in payments, her attorney, Alan Harris, said that amount was a pittance, since the actor’s royalties on Friends and Joey alone generate royalties over $100 million.
“This was something unheard of in the history of television,” Harris told the judge of LeBlanc’s windfall.
Cerio managed LeBlanc’s career beginning in 1994, when he first hit big on the now classic NBC sitcom. She alleges in her suit that LeBlanc agreed to pay her 15 percent of his earnings from all pilots and series spinoffs “derived” from Friends. But the checks stopped coming in 2000, four years before Friends ended its run.
No immediate comment from either side. A trial date has been set for Sept. 22.

With camera in-hand, the former Friends star walked the lot with a few companions before finding an ideal spot to shoot a few personal pictures of the “Why Georgia?” singer doing his thing onstage.
The night before, Miss Aniston made what was her first appearance at one of the gigs on his European tour (despite being overseas for nearly a week).
According to People magazine reports, “The actress arrived at a side entrance of the concert in gritty Brixton, south London, around 8.30 p.m., looking casual in dark blue jeans and stepping out of a red Range Rover.”
During the show, John told the crowd: “Every relationship someone steps into might somehow shake you up a bit. So I’m gonna take my time a little bit.”

Bringing an end to her trip overseas, Jennifer Ansiton was spotted in high spirits as she jetted out of Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport to head back to Los Angeles on Sunday (June 29).
The departure comes after a night in which the former Friends star watched her boyfriend John Mayer perform as part of the Hard Rock Calling concert in London’s Hyde Park.
According to People magazine reports detailing the evening at the London venue, “Aniston stood quietly in the wings while Mayer ran through a 45-minute set in front of an audience of tens of thousands. Wearing a black-and-white floral halter-neck top and faded flared jeans, Aniston busily snapped away with her camera to record Mayer’s on-stage performance.”
And while Miss Aniston is now on her way back home, John still has work to do - as he’s one of today’s performers slated to hit the Glastonbury Festival stage.

Country-hopping around Europe, its been quite a busy few days for former Friends star Jennifer Aniston - who most recently was busy checking out Amsterdam on Wednesday (June 25).
The 39-year-old enjoyed a guided boat tour alongside a few friends before waving goodbye to her fans in the Netherlands and heading to the airport.
Upon making her way to the landing strip, Aniston boarded a private jet - reportedly headed back to the UK to meet up with boyfriend John Mayer, who’s currently on his world tour.
Talking about Mr Mayer, the “Why Georgia?” singer recently spoke dished up his approach to dating, telling: “Instead of worrying about career damage, I’ve dated women! All I’ve ever done was decided that I fancied somebody and said, ‘Would you like to go out and get a meal somewhere?’ And done so in a social setting, where other people can see you. And then maybe ‘Would you like to go have another meal?’ Maybe did that a few times.”
