COURTENEY Cox looked far from friendly as she shoved a poor guy with all her might.

The spat was not a moment of rage for the former Friends actress, but a scene from her new show Cougar Town, being filmed in LA yesterday.

Looking purse-lipped and red-faced, her new role is clearly a far cry from neurotic Monica, who she played for ten years.

The 44-year-old beauty plays Jules, a single mum who goes on the prowl for a young man after her messy divorce, in the ABC network sitcom to air in the US in September.
