Courteney Invites A “Friend” To “Cougar Town”
Proving friends stick together, Lisa Kudrow has signed to guest on “Cougar Town,” which stars former “Friends” castmate Courteney Cox. EW reports that Kudrow’s episode will air in early 2010, and Cox adds, “She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though [she's] mean to me.”
Sounds cool—it will be fun to see these two actresses interact again. Wonder if Kudrow’s mean M.D. could become a recurring character?

Last call for Rudolph & Beer law firm
BYLINE: Ian Mohr
Entertainment law firm Rudolph & Beer, whose clients have included such pop acts as Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync and Britney Spears, will shut its doors at the end of the month after a decade in business.
Founding partner Larry Rudolph will launch a new artist management unit — ReignDeer Entertainment — which will handle Spears and singer Nick Lachey exclusively, while co-founder Steven Beer will segue to multinational law firm Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder and head of the New York film practice.
Rudolph & Beer launched in 1993 and racked up a long list of burgeoning pop-star clients along the way, including Spears, Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync, Aaron Carter, Nick Carter, 98[degrees] and O-Town, as well as rap acts DMX, Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, Keith Murray and the Sugar Hill Gang. The firm’s clients also included director Barbara Kopple, actor Rosario Dawson, model Linda Evangelista and MTV host Quddus, as well as indie film outfits Lot 47, Myriad Pictures and Solaris Entertainment. Beer said Monday that he expects to take his client roster with him to Greenberg Traurig.
“This was a natural evolution,” said Rudolph, who is a principal in Spears’ production outfit, Britney Spears Prods. “Although I take great pride in my 15-year career as an attorney, I have found that my true passion lies in artist man-agement. This move will give me the opportunity to devote all of my time and attention to the careers of my artists.”
Said Beer: “This is an incredible opportunity for me and my clients, and every client I have spoken to is energized by this opportunity to tap into (Greenberg Traurig’s) resources. I am excited to expand this role with the incredible global resources of Greenberg Traurig and hope to collaborate with Larry again in a new capacity.”
Rudolph’s ReignDeer will be handling exclusive management of Spears and Lachey, as well as co-management of recording artists Dream and Nikki Cleary. Bryan Spears — Britney Spears’ older brother — will share offices with ReignDeer and will rep the Spears family interests, as well as exploring entrepreneurial ventures with Rudolph.
Beer will head up the New York film practice at Greenberg Traurig starting Aug. 1. The firm’s entertainment and media department has more than 40 lawyers in broadcast, music, film and digital media and has 975 attorneys overall in 20 offices internationally.
Beer said he would continue to act as a producers rep and will be involved in film projects slated under Rudolph & Beer’s production services arm, R&B FM.
As part of the split, Rudolph & Beer staffers Dan Dymtrow and Jennifer Webster will join ReignDeer, while Maria Miles and Ted Weinrib follow Beer to Greenberg Traurig. Additionally, Susan Bank will come aboard ReignDeer to coordinate all touring.
Rudolph executive produced Spears’ first feature vehicle, “Crossroads,” and is producing MTV’s reality show “The Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,” starring married pop stars Lachey and Jessica Simpson. He also is helping Spears build a television production company, through which Rudolph will executive produce “Holly,” a two-hour back-door pilot for ABC Family. “Holly” is based on the book “A Mother’s Gift,” by Britney and Lynne Spears.
Other TV projects slated under the Spears banner include an animated TV series on cable outlet Noggin and a syn-dicated talk show called “Blend.”
Last year, Rudolph and Spears Prods. forged a category-exclusive agreement with NASCAR to develop and pro-duce a dramatic ensemble film set in the racing world (HR 6/18/02).
Beer has served as producer, producers rep and/or legal counsel on films including “Death of a Dynasty,” Damon Dash’s recent directorial effort; “Empire,” the directorial debut of songwriter-music producer Frank Reyes; as well as “Crossroads,” “L.I.E.,” “Black and White” and “Tumbleweeds.”
