Courteney Cox: Coco Wants a Dog for Christmas

Saturday, Nov 27, 2010

Courteney Cox was recently served with a “chilling” document: her daughter Coco Riley‘s Christmas list.

“She wants a puppy!” Cox, 46, tells PEOPLE with a laugh. “Which is unfortunate because we have two dogs.”

But with the 6-year-old landing firmly on Santa’s nice list, the actress seems resigned to her fate of a three-dog home, and negotiations between the two parties have already cleared their first hurdle.

“All I said was, ‘No Chihuahuas!’ explained Cox while attending the OmniPeace by Jordan Klein launch at Kitson on Friday. “[And Coco replied,] ‘No, they’re just crazy!’”

With over a month left to work out the details of her daughter’s gift, the actress is looking to keep the rest of her holidays as low-key as possible.

“I don’t have any big plans,” she admits. “Just hanging with the family.”

Courteney Cox Cherishes Gift From Jennifer Aniston

Tuesday, Nov 23, 2010

This is so lovely,I know a lot of people have been commenting on how lovely Courteney’s “Coco” necklace is that she’s been wearing lately. See a pic here. Isnt that really sweet?

Jennifer Aniston gave her former “Friends” co-star and longtime friend Courteney Cox a necklace when her daughter, Coco, was born, and the actress is still keeping it close to her heart almost seven years later.

Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush caught up with the “Cougar Town” star this weekend at the OmniPeace by Jordan Klein charity event on Friday. The actress, who serves as an ambassador for humanitarian fashion brand, is working with OmniPeace founder Mary Fanaro to end poverty in Africa.

“Now tell me Courteney, you’re wearing two things on you right now that you care about a lot, OmniPeace is one but I love your little chain Coco,” Billy said.

“Thank you, [I] got this when she was born from Jennifer,” she told Billy.

“Jennifer Aniston gave you that? How cute,” Billy said.

“Not Jennifer Aniston, my friend, um, Jennifer, um… no, I’m just kidding,” the actress joked.

“But do you wear it everyday? ” Billy inquired.

“You know what? Recently I’ve been wearing it every single day,” the 46-year-old actress, who recently separated from husband David Arquette, told Billy. “I re-found it again, because obviously, she’s 6-and-a-half years old… I wear it everyday, ‘cause, you know, she’s my girl.”

In addition to her own little one, Courteney is opening her heart to other children through her work with the fashion brand. OmniPeace is about to build its fourth school in Africa in just three years with the proceeds from their T-shirt and hoodie sales at Kitson stores in Southern California.

What Makes Courteney Cox So Cougarific?

Monday, Aug 23, 2010

“Boy, first of all, she’s got a body that just, you know, even women kind of go, ‘Oh OK! I’ll sleep with that!’ ”

Says Cougar Town‘s resident older-woman-on-the-prowl Carolyn Hennesy when we asked her what exactly makes costar Courteney Cox so absolutely cougarlicious. Sure, Court’s cuckoo mama may not be dating the younger dudes on the show anymore, but she was bumping TV nasties with Nick Zano (of the young and buff H’wood crowd).

And we say hell, yes, thank heaven for characters life Jules Cobb on our boobtube! When else are female friendships and their women’s sexual adventures represented in a realistic (and mostly classy) way on prime-time basic cable?

Uh, like friggin’ never.

Indeed, Carolyn added about yum-fun Courteney: “She’s stunningly beautiful. She’s fiercely driven; she knows exactly what she wants. She’s in control pretty much 100 percent of the time that I see her because, let’s face it, she’s also one of the executive producers. And that is, at any age, I think incredibly attractive to young men. It’s like ‘OK, take me by the hand and show me what to do!’ And she can do it.”

So we agree and salute you, cougars!

Courteney Cox says she was too shy for Hollywood career

Tuesday, Aug 17, 2010

While Jennifer Aniston made a bounty in Hollywood after finishing off ‘Friends’, her co-star and friend in the hit sitcom Courteney Cox has said that she was just too shy to venture for the big screen.

The 46-year-old, who played Monica Geller, watched Jennifer, 41, take a string of lead roles in Hollywood flicks, but says she did not have the confidence to go to auditions.

“I always talked myself out of going in to read. I don’t know if I had that much confidence,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“I was always thinking I needed to do something else, be more mysterious,” she added.

Courteney, who managed to land a role in the Scream films despite her shyness, has gone on to front popular comedy series Cougar Town, playing a divorcee in her 40s.

She admits she is “much more content” but says she is still hurt by having been the only one of the Friends cast not to have been nominated for an Emmy award.

“My ego got really bruised. When everyone did but me that doesn’t feel good at all. There were certain years I thought, ‘Maybe I have a shot’, like the Monica-Chandler years. I don’t know how it happens and why. Maybe I wasn’t ready,” she told Emmy magazine.

The actress, who is married to actor David Arquette with whom she has a six-year-old daughter Coco, also said that “ageing is nobody’s friend”.

“One second ago I was the youngest person on the set and now I’m the oldest. I’m so old my joints hurt when I keep my legs crossed a certain way for too long. I need glasses to see a movie, to see the computer and to read a book,” she said.

Courteney Cox: ‘I avoided rom-coms’

Monday, Aug 16, 2010

Courteney Cox has revealed that she never pursued starring in romantic comedies as a younger actress.

The Cougar Town star admitted that she lacked the self-esteem to dive into the genre but has claimed that at 46 years old she is now confident enough to take on any role.

Speaking to Emmy magazine, she said: “I always talked myself out of going in to read. I don’t know if I had that much confidence. [Today] I’m much more content. I was always thinking that I needed to do something else, be more mysterious. I felt the need to prove myself. Now I’m not going to be the ingénue anymore. I’m probably not going to do a lot of the things that I wish I had done, but now I don’t care.”

The actress also insisted that after an 11-year marriage to David Arquette, she still can’t believe how “different” the two are from one another.

Cox added: “He was pretty dangerous, like a bad boy. I was so young. We’re so different that each year I can’t believe how different we are. The one thing that’s similar is that we have a similar sense of humour. Well, no, that’s not true. We do not have a similar sense of humour, but his is so broad that I fit in part of it. He’s a unique human being, and a real character.”
