Michelle Williams has no TV

Michelle Williams' friend Busy Phillips has revealed the actress hasn't got a television in her New York home and relies on friends to keep her up-to-date with visual events as they happen.

Her close friend and former 'Dawson's Creek' co-star Busy Phillips told People magazine: "She doesn't really have a TV so during the Golden Globes, I texted her pictures of the dresses."

Busy recently admitted she had asked if her friend could appear on her TV show ''Cougar Town' - but the request was dismissed, only for bosses to be keen to land her on the programme at the height of her success.

"At the beginning of the show, in the first season, I told him, 'My friend Michelle Williams wants to guest star on the show.' And he's like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.' And they never did anything with it!

"And then she was nominated for her third Academy Award and they're like, 'Hey, maybe one of your friends would wanna...?' I said, 'I told you season one that she would do it! You lost her now to the third Academy Award nomination.' It would be great. I want her to play my bookish sister who hates me."
