VIDEO: Friends Stars Reunite — and It Isn't So Friendly

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry

Tension was high during a mini-Friends reunion — but it was all fun and games for The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Perry, who's not too happy that she showed up unannounced, doesn't have a lot of words of wisdom to offer — and could not be more annoyed when Aniston references his recently canceled series Go On. Aniston, however, is stunned to find out that he's sleeping with Courteney Cox. Soon Portia de Rossi and DeGeneres herself attempt to stealthily slip out of Perry's house.
