Friends STARS Offered $1M Per Episode for New Series

The six stars of FRIENDS are being offered an incredible $1 million-per-episode to keep making the hit TV show.
The future of the massively popular American sit-com has been in the balance for some time after eight successful seasons - and TV executives are so desperate for a ninth series they've offering their stars a total bumper pay packet, $24 million, to make it.
COURTENEY COX, MATT LE BLANC, LISA KUDROW, DAVID SCHWIMMER, JENNIFER ANISTON and MATTHEW PERRY have already turned down a previous bid of $800,000-per-show - and workers at production company WARNER BROTHERS believe they may not be swayed by more money.
One employee says, "Jennifer and Courteney both want to have children and they haven't decided yet how compatible that is with going ahead with another series.
"It's a very gruelling schedule because they do lots of rehearsals as well as the 24 episodes. It can be very tiring.
"Matt Le Blanc is pretty keen to do it, but they all need to sit down and talk it through."
