Spin Cycle presents another installment of "All the News That's Fit to Razz" ...
• At long last, all six Friends co-stars will reunite at the same time and place! They'll all participate in an NBC special honoring director James Burrows. Well, no, just five of them -- Matthew Perry is out. But at least perhaps they'll all get together for a future Friends movie! Well, no. "There will never be a Friends reunion movie," Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman said at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour.
It seems the stars are not such great Friends after all.
• Speaking of reunions, the gang from High School Musical was still "all in this together," reuniting to celebrate the anniversary of the Disney Channel movie that premiered Jan. 20, 2006. Well most of them; the most employable of the stars, Zac Efron, was missing.
With it being the 10th anniversary, it should be time for another installment: College Debt Musical.
• Former Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour was arrested in Connecticut last weekend for driving under the influence. Police say she struck another vehicle while reversing her 2015 Range Rover on an interstate off-ramp; she was unsteady, smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes.
Typically we associate Seymour with DDs, not DUIs.
• Actress Betty White turned 94 last weekend, kicking off her birthday with an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
Or so we heard. We are less than half her age, but we can't even stay up to see The Late Late Show With James Corden.
• Speaking of white, director Spike Lee said he will not attend this year's Oscar awards after no black actors were nominated (though he was presented an honorary Oscar last year). Lee posted on Instagram: "How is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white? ... Forty white actors in two years and no flava at all."
In other words, Lee will not Do the White Thing.
• Songwriter Linda Perry tweeted that Lady Gaga isn't deserving of an Oscar nomination for The Hunting Ground song "'Til It Happens to You," as she didn't contribute much to the song mostly written by Diane Warren. She posted: "Gaga contributed a few words. Is that writing? Not in my book."
What next? The former 4 Non Blondes singer will call out Gaga for hair bleaching too?
• Dustin Diamond, best known as silly Screech from Saved by the Bell, recently started his four-month jail sentence after being convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct during a 2014 altercation at a Wisconsin bar.
After that, Principal Belding at Bayside High likely will subject him to suspension and after-school detention. There will be no hanging out at The Max with Zack, Slater, Kelly, Jessie and Lisa anytime soon.
• Prior to her Kentucky Rebel Heart tour stop, Madonna appeared to have gotten liquored up in Louisville. She began her performance three hours late, according to TMZ, which quoted one fan as saying she "trash-talked Kentuckians and spoke in a fake hillbilly accent" and another fan as saying, "Madonna was very drunk."
Perhaps she got acquainted with Kentucky's most beloved son, Jim Beam.
