Guess Who: Who are these two friends?

The Wedge-Resistant Friendship

A prominent leading lady is not pleased that "rivals with an agenda" against her have created the impression that there's been a falling out between her and one of her favourite co-stars. After the actress starred in a hit film with said actor, there was news that the pair would appear together again in another project. But tabloids suddenly began reporting that the male star didn't want to work with the actress.

Turns out the actor had "genuine" reasons why he couldn't do the project, but the actress is convinced that it was deliberately made to look like there was a problem between the two.

Now it appears that the actress and the film's producers have reached out to the actor again to reconsider the project. They've reportedly agreed to rework the script in a manner that makes him more comfortable, and are hoping that he will eventually come around.

To rivals who're still carping that the two don't get along, the actress will have you know that he's "family", and that he recently spent an evening at her home celebrating his birthday with her and her folks. She also says they've been discussing another project together anyway, just in case this one doesn't fructify.

So there. "You can't drive a wedge through this friendship," she warns.
