"Friends" star Lisa Kudrow sued by ex-manager - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Lisa Kudrow may not be friends with her former manager, but she still has to pay him commissions, he claims in a lawsuit.

Scott Howard claims that the Emmy-winning actress failed to pay him commissions since she fired him in 2007. He is seeking damages of at least $50,000.

Howard became Kudrow's manager in 1991, before she hit TV gold with "Friends." During her 10th year on the sitcom, Howard and Kudrow agreed to halve his commission rate to 5 percent. Throughout her time on "Friends" and after, Kudrow paid all due commissions.

But since his firing, Kudrow allegedly has refused to pay Howard commissions for "Friends" or other work she did while he was her manager. Kudrow declined comment.

She is not the only "Friends" star entangled with a former representative. Matt LeBlanc's former business manager sued him last year seeking at least $1 million in unpaid commissions.

Because of how sweet Lisa appears to be in the parts that she plays, I find it very hard to imagine her having any type of run-in with the law! I would say that the time that I was most filled up by the site of Lisa took place towards the end of the sereis. I bought a magazine that was devoted to the history of the show. I believe that it was produced by "People". On one page, there was a picture of Lisa getting a big kiss on the cheek from her older sister who was almost as pretty as Lisa was! Together they looked so cozy and so filled with decency! Also, has anyone out there looked up the web site dedicated to her that someone on this very board posted about? What do you think of it? I liked it, but there was one thing that I was never able to figure out. I was unable to find out whether there is any way to contact her through the site or post messages for other visiters of the site to see. Any help that anyone can give me will be very appreciated!
