"Joey" Star Sued by Former Manager

Where are Joey's friends when he needs them? Matt LeBlanc, who played the character Joey Tribbiani on NBC's hit show "Friends" from 1994 to 2004 and then on the spin-off "Joey" which ended in 2006, is being sued by his former manager for up to $1 million.

According to E! Online, the ex-manager claims LeBlanc promised her 15 percent of his earnings from the pilot of "Friends Like Us" (the original title for "Friends" before somebody wisely shortened it) and any jobs that followed from that television show. He apparently held up his end of the bargain, continuing to deliver her share of the profits, until he stopped in 2000, which just happened to be five years after she stopped being his manager. Now she says LeBlanc owes the remainder of profits from both "Friends" and "Joey." Sweet deal, huh? -- Chris Sardelli
