Courteney Cox Arquette Shaped Up for Her New Role With Power Plate Equipment

Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009

In her new show actress Courteney Cox Arquette plays a 40-year-old, newly divorced mom who is back in the dating game. In preparation for the role, Cox Arquette got into incredible shape by exercising on the revolutionary Power Plate(R) machine.

“The Power Plate(R) machine has dramatically changed my workout. I know that every muscle in my body is being ignited in ways that you can’t do with traditional training. Its uses are limitless. I love this machine!” says Cox Arquette.

Power Plate(R) technology provides one of the most efficient and dynamic total-body workouts in less than 30 minutes utilizing scientifically-proven Advanced Vibration Technology(TM) that triggers involuntary muscle reactions 25-50 times per second while you exercise. The result is a high-intensity exercise that increases strength, improves muscle tone and balance and helps reduce body fat. A recent study found that Power Plate(R) exercise helped participants lose more weight than traditional exercise.

“My clients, like Courteney Cox Arquette, prefer Power Plate(R) machines to tone, tighten and get red-carpet ready in less time,” says celebrity trainer Michelle Lovitt. “If your schedule doesn’t always allow time for traditional exercise, Power Plate(R) Acceleration Training(TM) is great because you get a full, targeted workout in as little as three 30-minute sessions a week, and still see amazing results.”

Used by elite athletes, celebrities, and people from all walks of life, Power Plate(R) equipment benefits include: increased fitness, strength, muscle tone, flexibility, bone density and range of motion as well as improved blood circulation and lymphatic system activation. The complete Power Plate(R) line of fitness equipment is designed for health clubs, wellness centers, spas, hospitals, physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics, professional and collegiate athletic training facilities, private fitness trainers and home use. Power Plate North America is headquartered in Irvine, Calif. www.powerplate.com.

‘Friends’ Central Perk comes to UK

Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009

Warner TV will recreate the famous Central Perk coffee shop from hit sitcom Friends in London later this week.

The replica hangout will be based on London’s Broadwick Street, Soho, from September 24 to October 7.

“Relive the place where it all happened,” said a Warner TV spokesperson. “The bad jokes, the chat-up lines and the gossip.”

According to Event Magazine, the venue will include rare memorabilia from the show and will allow fans to “relive their favourite Friends moments enjoying a cappuccino on one of the famous sofas”.

Organised by Inca Productions, the event marks the 15th anniversary of the NBC comedy series, which ran for ten seasons until 2004. A new limited-edition box set featuring every series and new “extended, exclusive and unseen footage” is also being released for the occasion.

Friends launched the careers of David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry. The last episode aired on May 6, 2004 and was watched by an estimated 52.5 million viewers in the US.

Courteney Cox Is on the Prowl in ‘Cougar Town’

Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009

Courteney Cox is back on TV in a brand-new comedy — and ET talks to the former “Friends” star about playing a cougar in the new ABC series, “Cougar Town”!

“A cougar is a lady in her 40s who is going out with younger men,” Courteney tells ET. “It is not the negative [a woman who has had too much] plastic surgery in her 50s. It is really a woman with confidence that does that.”

In “Cougar Town,” Courteney plays a 40-something woman trying to get on with her life following an ugly divorce. In the first episode, her character Jules hooks up with a guy not much older than her 17-year-old son.

She is also a producer on the series, so she gets to be in on the casting sessions when they are looking for the young guys to play her prey.

“I am so glad I am producing so I can be a part of the casting sessions because there might be a character that is on for three episodes and you want to make sure that it is someone you want to kiss,” she says. “You don’t want to be stuck with someone you don’t. It is sweet and cute and nice. It is good to have control over it.”

One of the first scenes in the premiere episode is Jules examining her body in the mirror and not being happy with what she sees.

“That scene is really what I look like when I am pushing on my stomach, pulling on my arm and shaking my leg,” Courteney says. “That is what I look like when I am not lit right. It is all about lighting. I gave you a glimpse of me with average lighting. I worked really hard to look that bad.”

“Cougar Town” premieres Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

“But I also understand people’s decisions.” Filmmakers have insisted that Campbell will not return as the franchise’s main, and much tortured, character Sidney Prescott.

The film has special meaning for Arquette and his wife, Courteney Cox. The couple met and fell in love on the set of the first film, Scream.Cox has signed on for the fourth sequel as well as original screenwriter Kevin Williamson.“I haven’t seen a script yet but I know Kevin’s working on it as we speak,” Arquette told RadarOnline.com. “Hopefully we’ll start shooting in the
spring.”
