Although Jennifer Aniston hasn’t worked a traditional 9-to-5 job since well before her time on Friends, that won’t stop her from returning to the office. The actress and producer is developing a 9 to 5 remake with Oscar-winning Juno writer Diablo Cody set to write the script. The 1980 cult classic starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton was previously adapted into a five-seasons-long TV series in the ‘80s and a Broadway musical in 2009.

In other remake news, Lily Gladstone’s first big project after Killers of the Flower Moon is already getting Emmy buzz. The actress, alongside Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang, will star in a remake of Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet. The reimagining of Lee’s Oscar-nominated rom-com will reunite Yang with Fire Island director Andrew Ahn and be based on a screenplay by Ahn and James Schamus, the latter of whom co-wrote the original film. Lee expressed excitement for the new take on his classic, saying, “It warms my heart to see how my film from so many years ago has inspired a new generation.” 

It may be the end of the week, but the timeline is still hard at work generating hysterical tweets instead of doing whatever their actual 9 to 5 requires of them. Today’s funniest include those about luggage with a life of its own, a shark complicit in history’s horrors and the most succinct description of pain ever.
