Matthew Perry gets a new dog

In light of all Matthew Perry's recent troubles, the star 'Friends' actor bought a Black Labrador.

When asked about his recent purchase, Perry was suspiciously reticent about the dog:

"What dog, I don't have a dog. You so don't know about that."

When we informed him that we so did, Perry owned up and relaxed all his facial muscles.

"Well, you know, dogs keep you calm. And actually it's great for me because if I start flailing my arms around like I usually do, the dog barks and tries to eat my hands...so..."

As if to prove his point, whilst talking to us, Perry found great pleasure in gesticulating grandly. Well, we hope the dog experiment goes well. Let's face it, Matthew Perry has had little luck in life so far: after all, he's part of a very successful show, extremely wealthy but still has problems. You've got to be pretty messed up for that to happen.
