Cox Refused Body Double For Cougar Town Strip

Filed under: Courteney Cox,Jennifer Aniston,TV News

Courtney Cox refused to use a body double when she stripped off for her TV show Cougar Town – insisting the public needs to see “real” women over the age of 40.

The former Friends star takes on the saucy role of an older woman who becomes embroiled in affairs with much younger men in the series.

In one of the episodes, Cox’s character shows off her stretch marks and arm fat and the actress insisted filming the scene herself – because she wants to highlight the body issues facing older women.

But the 45 year old admits the scene stunned many of her friends, especially her former co-star Jennifer Aniston.

She says,

“I think it was an important thing to do. This show talks about real things and real experiences, so I think I had to. I know my friend Jennifer Aniston was shocked I did it.

“Some people may not want to show parts of them that are not the very best and that’s alright. I decided to show, and I don’t care. It was important to show the real side of being 40.”

Cox reveals she puts a lot of effort into maintaining her body now she is in her mid-forties, adding,

“I try really hard. I walk, I run, I do elliptical (cross-trainer), I do band work, weights and dance aerobics. I play tennis and I eat really well. But I was also lit very well. Don’t mistake Hollywood lighting for reality!”

Good for her!

Added Arquette, “Listen, I like practicing as much as possible! But it’s hard… I’m exhausted!”

Meanwhile, daughter Coco is growing up to be just like her mom, Arquette beams.

“She’s a little messy so that’s sort of on my side, but she’s very strong-willed which is very Courteney-like,” he says.

“We got her a flute recently and she is just walking around [pretending to play],” he adds. “We’re jammin’ a lot, a little Jethro Tull.”

Aniston Not Planning Trip To Cougar Town

Filed under: Courteney Cox,Jennifer Aniston,TV News

Jennifer Aniston’s representative has dismissed reports the actress will reunite with her Friends co-star Courteney Cox in the second season of her U.S. TV hit Cougar Town.

The star was alleged to have signed up to make a guest appearance on the sitcom, following in the footsteps of her former Friends castmate Lisa Kudrow.

A spokesman for Aniston insists the rumors are false, although he has refused to rule out the possibility in the future.

The rep says, “At present there are no plans for Jennifer to be on the show. (But) never say never.”

Aniston isn’t the only former Friends star to turn down the offer – Matthew Perry refused to romance Cox for the new comedy in November.

But Cox shouldn’t be too disappointed – Cougar Town, in which the star plays a middle-aged single mother on the hunt for a younger man, has been picked up for a second season by ABC network bosses.

Courteney Cox’s Cougar Town Halts Production Over Family Matter

Filed under: Courteney Cox

A “private family matter” for star Courteney Cox has halted production on “Cougar Town,” .

“We can confirm production on ‘Cougar Town’ has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter,”

a rep for ABC said.

The nature of the issue was not explained.

“Cougar Town” has been a freshman success for the network this season, earning 7.9 million viewers for its most recent episode this week.

For a production to shut down for a single star is usually unheard of unless she is unable to make it to work. Wonder what the real story is here.
