Gwyneth Paltrow is saying so long to sag!

In her latest GOOP newsletter, the actress, 37, sings the praises of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson (who also works with Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox).

“She has kicked my formerly sagging ass into shape, and I will be forever grateful,”

Paltrow blogs.

She shares a video of the trainer’s “little arm series,” which she did every day while “preparing for Iron Man.”

The lower arm exercises, she writes, work wonders, “especially for the batwing problem.”

Filed under: Baby News, Courteney Cox

Could Coco Arquette have a little brother or sister?

David Arquette says he and wife Courteney Cox are considering expanding their family.

“I don’t know. I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so maybe adoption,” Arquette, 38, said on The Bonnie Hunt Show. Cox, 45, underwent in-vitro fertilization to have Coco at age 39.

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.

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.

Cox And Arquette Design Jewelery For Charity

Filed under: Celebs Do Good, Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have teamed up with an American jewelery manufacturer to create their own line for charity.

The couple is spearheading a drive to raise money for kids suffering from epidermolysis bullosa (Eb), a rare genetic condition that affects the skin, after a friend’s child fell victim to the condition.

Arquette tells Vogue.com,

“There is a beautiful child named Brendon, the son of one of our dear friends, Andrea Pett Joseph, who was born with epidermolysis bullosa or Eb. We were not aware of the condition until it affected us personally but, of course, once we got to know this incredible child we wanted to do whatever we could to help.

“I think becoming a parent redefines your understanding of love and compassion. Beyond spirituality, it is about being a good person and doing what you can to make a difference and make this world a better place. It is important to do positive things in your life.”

The Satya Eb Charity Collection features a range of affordable butterfly-adorned pieces and proceeds will help fund treatment and medical research for Eb sufferers.
