Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Hollywood, right here!

Jennifer Aniston will soon be seen with her former Friends co-star Courteney Cox on the small screen show Cougar Town.

Cox, 46, has starred in the Scream films and is currently playing the lead role of Jules in comedy series Cougar Town, which has enjoyed rave reviews and high audience figures.

After months of speculation it has finally been confirmed that the Friends -- who worked together for 10 years -- will meet again on TV.

Aniston will appear in Cougar Town's second-series premiere next month.

'She's going to play Courteney's shrink named Bonnie. A kind of a get-too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in real life they kind of do that for each other anyway,' the Daily Express quoted the show's executive producer Bill Lawrence as telling Entertainment Weekly.

Beyonce Knowles is facing accusations that she copied the design for a pair of leggings which feature in her fashion brand's latest collection.

The Crazy In Love created much hysteria when she was recently pictured topless in a shoot for her House of Dereon range, wearing nothing but fake tattoos and a pair of tight black trousers covered in silver studs.

However, now bosses at an Icelandic clothing company have alleged that the House of Dereon trousers look similar to a pair of E-label leggings, which Beyonce was allegedly, spotted buying in London last year (09).

'This is naturally huge and I am still half in shock. I didn't twig (realise) straight away that this was her own label: I just thought she was wearing our leggings. It is practically just copy/paste,' the Daily Star quoted E-label co-owner Helba Hallgrimsdottir as saying.

The meeting took place a day before U2 play their first ever-Russian concert.

SuBo, 49, described the big day as "my greatest dream come true."
