Reports on the internet and in print that Courteney Cox Arquette is bent on getting a big-screen “Friends” movie made on the heels of “Sex and the City’s” success as a feature – and that everyone but Jennifer Aniston is on board – come as news to Lisa Kudrow.

“As soon as we wrapped, there were rumors about a movie — started by I don’t know who – but they’ve never been true,” says the former Friend Phoebe.  “The only thing I heard: it would have to be done by the people who created the show, and no one has made them interested enough to write it.”

As far as her own interest?  “I think it would be so fun to be with all those people again, but our show was not like ‘Sex and the City,’ which was a single camera, filmic show anyway.  Ours was multi-camera, in front of a live audience.  It’s a completely different feel.

You’d have to bring the tone down, and I don’t know how it would be.  I’ll just stay open.”

Kudrow has a full plate without a “Friends” movie, including several independent features in the can and a film to make this fall with Jeff Daniels. First up: she stars in the July-opening limited release dramedy “Kabluey,” playing a soldier’s wife who is trying to keep things going on the home front while he’s in Iraq – and makes the mistake of allowing her brother-in-law to become her kids’ nanny.

It’s from first-time filmmaker Scott Prendergast, who also plays the bad babysitter based on his own experiences.

Referring to her short-lived but acclaimed HBO series, she says, “One of the writers on ‘The Comeback,’ Heather Morgan, knew Scott and she told me, ‘This guy who used to be in the Groundlings program and is really talented — he loves our show!’  She was so excited.  That meant a lot to her because she really respected this guy and his taste.”  Years passed, then along came “Kabluey.”  “When I read the script, I thought he had a unique, interesting voice,” says Lisa.  “He’s so good!”

THE VIDEOLAND VIEW: The fifth season of “Stargate Atlantis” launches July 11 — with several cast changes, including a shift from starring to recurring status for Amanda Tapping, and Robert Picardo essentially taking her place as the mission leader on the Sci Fi series.  This “could be” a transitional year, agrees the show’s wryly witty star, Joe Flanigan.  “I’ve been tempered by my experience not to make any bold statements.  It’s definitely been a different experience for us with the changes. The storylines seem to be a little more sophisticated.”  But he can’t talk about them.  Offers Flainigan, “I’ll give you one secret:  I don’t die.”

Flanigan does say, “I’d like to see a little more exploration of my character. They’re kind of working on a couple of ideas we could possibly do.  I certainly don’t feel the well is dry in terms of continuing to make these characters interesting.  Still, there’s no doubt about it – the challenge of keeping a character dynamic through a number of seasons is a real one.  In the genre of science fiction maybe less so, because you’re dealing with big external threats and bizarre situations,” he says.

“Luckily, we all like each other and keep each other sane, which is a major plus,” he adds.  “If you’re going to spend this much time on a project, you’d better enjoy the people you’re working with.”

ANOTHER DAY JOB HEARD FROM: John O’Hurley of “Dancing With the Stars,” “Family Feud,” dog show and commercial renown has developed a professional life for himself outside the entertainment realm — picking up where former “Monty Python” star John Cleese left off by creating up-to-date instructional business videos.

“There hasn’t been a celebrity driven business-oriented piece of instructional communication since John Cleese did this back in the mid 80’s.  I studied his business model, quite frankly,” O’Hurley tells us.  ”We premiered our first video called ‘Love Your Customer’ and we’ve been told there’s nothing like it in the business.  This will be the first of many that I do.”

Yes, don’t let his stint in those tight “DWTS” pants fool you!  ”I have a strong business presence because I own six companies,” says O’Hurley, “so I think I know what I talk about.”

FIELD OF SCREAMS: There’ve already been more than seven films made from, or inspired by, Stephen King’s “Children of the Corn” — some of which the author has pointedly disavowed — with stars ranging from Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts to Stacy Keach and Eva Mendes, to Ahmet Zappa and Karen Black.  So of course it’s time for another remake!  The latest “Children of the Corn” is scheduled to start shooting in August, from horror producer Donald Borchers (“Leprechaun 2,” “Voodoo,” etc.) Casting is underway.
