Jennifer Aniston is guest starring alongside BFF Courteney Cox on the season 2 premiere of Cougar Town, ABC announced Monday.
The show airs Sept. 22.
Aniston, 41, will play a "shrink named Bonnie" to Cox's character Jules, the show's executive producer Bill Lawrence tells Entertainment Weekly.
"Kind of a get-too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist," Lawrence explains. "Those guys are so close in real life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the life Jules wishes she has."
Might Aniston's role become a recurring one? "We're very intentionally implying that it's a therapist Courteney has been using for a while, and we're certainly not going to make it like they'll never see each other again," Lawrence says. "So I'm crossing my fingers that if she has a good time it'll happen again."

It is the third time the BFFs have shared the small screen.
They famously costarred on the hit NBC sitcom Friends. In 2007, Aniston guest starred on Cox's short-lived FX drama Dirt. On the episode, they famously locked lips.

Aniston could use some career buzz: Her latest comedy, The Switch, bombed at the box office this weekend, debuting at No. 8 with $8.1 million.
Tell Us What You Think
75Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston join on sitcom is the beginning of making of the Friends the Movie!
It's no longer about Jennifer Aniston. It's all about poor pitiful you and the amount of time you waste wishing for someone else's demise. You go on and on about it, amusing us all. Watch out honey -- Karma's a real b.i.t.c.h. That negativity is going to bite you right in the a.s.s. But then again, you sound very unhappy, so it must have already kicked in. Now run off to the next Jen article and get your Jen fix!
BTW, that's right I wrote you're when it should have been your. Make sure to write a 50 pg response on that one. Ha! You're too too funny!
Poor pitiful you. Got cha!!!
ANOTHER REUNION, NOT AGAIN! Jennifer is forever dragging on Courtney's coat tails! Maybe Jennifer would be ok on tv, if only she could play more than one role over and over and over. Her films have been BOMBS.......HELLO, people are tired of seeing one-note acting. YAWN!
August 24, 2010 - 12:57pm Hey Hasbeen A a/k/a Boycott Aniston Says: Geez, you're still at it and now using the name "Boycott Aniston" too. I'm sure if I looked at other stories about Jen, you've used many names. You can't hide that the jealous venum you keep spewing is from you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ First, "venom" is spelled with an "o," not a "u." As a Huvane employee, I guess you are required to have an unusually low IQ so as to make Aniston feel at home. As for your comment, the day I am "jealous" of a 41-year-old, photoshopped, brainless twit who has been DUMPED by every man in Hollywood, and whose vocabulary consists of two words -- "cool" and "uncool" -- is the day I slit my wrists. What I am, is ELATED and GLEEFUL that this HASBEEN HAG is now such a FAILURE that a kid like Bow Wow can BEAT HER A$$ by more than $3mil. Her HUMILIATING DEFEAT is exactly what a self-centered PIG who insults special needs children deserves. If you are upset by criticism of her (by the way, too bad you aren't as concerned about SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS as you are about this worthless oinker), then I suggest you NOT Google the words "Aniston+Flop" because your head will explode from the sheer volume of RIDICULE. Even the esteemed LA Times is asking: "Why is she a Movie Star?" The criticism of this MANIPULATIVE, WRINKLED OLD COW will continue unabated. Articles about her FAKE-dating Mayer, or about her appearing on Cox's near-flop of a show, won't take the focus off of her JOKE of a film career. An unknown rapper in a low-budget urban comedy is now a BIGGER STAR than she is. She is a PROVEN FAILURE, and there isn't a thing you can do about it.
jen is versatile and is great on both movies and tv.
Geez, you're still at it and now using the name "Boycott Aniston" too. I'm sure if I looked at other stories about Jen, you've used many names. You can't hide that the jealous venum you keep spewing is from you. Seriously, don't you have anything better to do? Too too sad for you. It's just pathetic and pitiful. Oh well, it has become a game for me and my friends now to see how many times you will post about your idol Jen. We all agree that for someone who tries so hard to convince US readers that you don't like Jen, your writing proves that you really want her life and wish you were her. We can always count on a laugh tuning in, which is what you want anyway. Otherwise, you'd find something else to do. Just pathetic. ********************************** â?¢August 21, 2010 - 10:21am Hey Hasbeen A - Says:You try awfully hard to prove how smart you are to people you don't even know. Congratulations on your wonderful education. Seems to me that you could use it in a much more productive way than to follow EVERY SINGLE MOVE of a person you CLAIM TO BE so much smarter than, and better than. I'M NOT CONVINCED. In fact, I pitty you even more now than I did before. You're just pathetic. ************************* â?¢ August 21, 2010 - 7:23am Hasbeen Aniston Says: August 20, 2010 - 4:03pm Dear "Hasbeen A" @12:36pm Says: WOW! You certainly are a very angry individual. As a fan of Jennifer Aniston, I read the articles on this site about her. I notice that you comment (several times in fact) on every single article about her. I find it amusing that you feel the need to read EVERYTHING about her, and then comment using the same name each time. Jen is rich beyond YOUR wildest dreams, pretty beyond YOUR wildest dreams, and very successful. ********************** Yes Dear, I post EACH time the high school "barely-grad" says or does something stupid, so that would indeed make me prolific. As for MANface (look at her UNRETOUCHED photos on ONTD and D-Listed and then try to convince yourself that anyone could be jealous of her simian mug) being "beyond" me, she and I are indeed quite different. Please allow me to delineate: First, I know more than five words. Second, I am not so REPULSIVE that any man has ever held a PRESS CONFERENCE to dump me in the middle of the street, as has happened to our unwanted pile of Jenny Poo. Third, I have a post-graduate degree from a top ten school and an IQ that is higher that she can even COUNT. My writing evidences my linguistic expertise, while MANiston, at nearly 50 years old, still can't distinguish a noun from a verb, so she is not even "beyond" the average fifth grader, much less someone of my academic and professional background. (At the risk of sounding immodest, she isn't worthy to hold the frames in which my degrees are encased.) Fourth, unlike her, I don't sleep with men who call blacks n*ggers (as her boyfriend John Mayer does), I don't call the woman who gave me life a "DISEASE" (as she has done), I cannot fathom using the DYING BABIES of Haiti to advance my own career (as she did when she LIED about hosting a Haitian benefit), I don't assume that Mexicans are too backwards to survive without me allowing them to wait on me hand and foot while I stay in a luxurious, WHITE-owned hotel (as she does), and I have enough respect for those who COURAGEOUSLY face life's added challenges with dignity and grace that I cannot imagine ever uttering the word "R*TARD." I have a VOCABULARY that allows me to express myself as an adult rather than as a pre-teen, so the biggest difference is that I am a HIGHLY EDUCATED, CARING, INTELLECTUALLY-DEVELOPED WOMAN with whom men actually want to spend time, and Aniston is a SELF-CENTERED, EGOMANIACAL, EMPTY-HEADED TWIT with a unique talent for alienating every man within a 50-mile radius. I am a HUMAN BEING with compassion for the less fortunate, while she is a black-hearted beast who is the best example I can think of for the term WASTE OF DNA. How's that for a new post, Dear? Are we "amused" yet?
This is the kiss of death for Cougar Town. I truly believe that Maniston wants to overshadow her Friends co-stars. She is NOT a TRUE friend to CC but CC knows it and rides the "Rachel" pity party to take advantage of MANNY'S publicity.
The Switch movie is BORING!!! She played in the same style!!! I could not watch it and therefore left a theater...
to get a life, angelina actually said she does not do drugs anylonger, while jennifer still smokes both cigs and marijuana...
i feel bad for courtney cox. this friendship is all anyone talks about in relation to her.
two classy ladies! can't wait!
I feel sorry for cortney and jennifer dogs. imagine dealing with that narrssist mess all the time. She must be strong woman. It would be nice if she just stay in TV.
TV is where she belongs...not on the movie screen ..not talented enough for film..to predictable...
to get a life: that is not true. she said she did her share of that when she was young. False reporting seems to be a favorite of the angelina haters today. could it be b/c jen's movie bombed? As usual you try to divert the attention away from her bad press. Lady gaga actually said the dabbles, not angelina jolie. get it straight.
I have so many better things to do than to watch another old Friends rerun...with two boring media hungry sharks (not cougars) NOT INTERESTED!!!!!
A little FYI to you people Angie even said HERSELF in RECENT interviews (believe it was Vanity Fair?) that she DOES still dabble in drugs on OCCASIONS! So yes, PRGURUFAIL SHE DOES DO DRUGS. You would think that since you are so OBSESSED with the tramp that you would have read the MANY interviews she has done lately and knew that.
get a life to everyone on here. Do you not know what a comment is.
Rumor has it Jen is looking into surrogates!!! I read she has been meeting with possible surrogates b/c she really wants a baby!
