David Beckham has spoken out about AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti’s outbursts, telling Chelsea players of his “hairdryer” verbal blasts.

Ancelotti is expected to take the helm at Chelsea this summer.

“Ancelotti has a great presence, a great aura about him — all the top managers have that,” Beckham said.

“He is a low-key, private person. But there is another side to him. While I have never had the ‘hairdryer’ type treatment from him, I have seen it from him.”

Beckham, currently in London, appeared to drive the point home when he added: “When he wants to get his point across, believe me, he does it in no uncertain terms.”

He also spoke of Ancelotti’s merits. “He is a manager who commands and demands respect.”

Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston said she wants Friends to return with a TV special episode instead of a movie.

The 40-year-old actress played Rachel Green in the US sitcom, which ran for ten years between 1994 and 2004.

Fans are eager for a reunion of the hit show and Jennifer said: “The rumour is always there and all I can say is that if there is going to be a reunion it better be as soon as possible.”

She added: “What I always talk about with Courteney [Cox], is the possibility of doing a special television show, like a special Thanksgiving episode or something.”

She added: “I think that would be the best way to get us all together.”

Michelle Pfeiffer has said acting with younger men keeps her feeling youthful.

The mum-of-two is currently starring in new period film Cheri where her love interest is played by Keira Knightley’s off-screen boyfriend Rupert Friend, 26.

She said: “It seems my leading men keep getting younger the older I get.” The actress was filming Cheri when she turned 50 in April last year and she revealed she got on well with her younger co-star.

She said: “The more we got to know each other, the more comfortable we were with each other, but initially it was a little strange. But Rupert has a really good sense of humour and that always helps.”

Michelle also appeared in the 2007 film I Could Never Be Your Woman, where her character seduced a younger man, played by Paul Rudd, now 40.

She said: “It seems people have an aversion to casting me with men my age. Lucky for me. I’m not one that’s ever really thought about birthdays, but 50 was a big one and I was not looking forward to it.”

She added: “But surprisingly it has left me feeling liberated.”
