Courtney Cox's hilarious 60th celebration

<p>Courtney Cox, who celebrated her milestone 60th birthday last month, gave fans an inside look into her wellness routine - which even she thinks is a bit much. </p> <p>The <em>Friends </em>star took to Instagram to share a video clip of her exercise routine, which included seated arm rows, squats, pull-ups, chest presses, crunches and cardio. </p> <p>“I just had a birthday,” she said in the video while in the gym.</p> <p>“Don’t love the number, but look, we have no choice,” she wrote.</p> <p>“You just gotta do the best you can,” she said in the video. </p> <p>While getting in daily exercise is a pretty common thing to do to stay fit, it was what she did towards the end of the video that captured fans' attention. </p> <p>The actress swapped her black workout set for a tiny bikini before braving the cold inside what looked like an industrial-sized freezer. </p> <p>Taking things a tad further, she also wore a sheet face mask and a red-light therapy baseball hat inside the chamber, poking fun at her own routine and all the different wellness fads trending online. </p> <p>“What, it’s cryotherapy?” she jokingly said while crawling out of the freezer, which appeared to be in her garage.</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF;

Courteney Cox breaks silence over Spare claims

<p dir="ltr">Courteney Cox has finally addressed her unexpected cameo in Prince Harry’s memoir <em>Spare</em>, debunking the Duke’s claims.</p> <p dir="ltr">In the book, Prince Harry shared an anecdote about going to the <em>Friends </em>actress’s home where he’d helped himself to a “box of black diamond mushroom chocolates” in her fridge that led to a wild, hallucinatory trip.</p> <p dir="ltr">After unveiling her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the 58-year-old actress confirmed to <em><a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/courteney-cox-friends-prince-harry-1235531048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a></em> that the royal had once stayed at her house for “a couple of days”, but denied she’d been the one offering up the mushrooms.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He did stay here for a couple of days — probably two or three. He’s a really nice person,” she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I haven’t read the book. I do want to hear it, because I’ve heard it’s really entertaining. But yes, it’s gotten back to me about it. I’m not saying there were mushrooms! I definitely wasn’t passing them out.”</p> <p dir="ltr">In Prince Harry’s best-selling memoir, he admitted he had become a “<em>Friends </em>fanatic” after becoming engrossed in the series while dealing with mental health issues and panic attacks after his second tour of Afghanistan in 2013.</p> <p dir="ltr">In the years following, during a trip to Los Angeles with a friend, he’d spontaneously crashed at Cox’s house while party-hopping.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We went from the home of [my friend] Thomas’ girlfriend to the home of Courteney Cox. She was a friend of Thomas’ girlfriend, and had more room. Also, she was travelling, on a job, and didn’t mind if we crashed at her place,” Harry wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">“No complaints from me. As a <em>Friends </em>fanatic, the idea of crashing at Monica’s was highly appealing. And amusing. But then … Courteney turned up. I was very confused. Was her job cancelled? I didn’t think it was my place to ask. More: Does this mean we have to leave?”</p> <p dir="ltr">“She smiled. Of course not Harry. Plenty of room,” he said. “Great.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The story was one of many eyebrow-raising revelations in Harry’s memoir, including details of private clashes with Prince William, a story about losing his virginity, and recounting having a frostbitten penis while he attended William and Kate’s wedding.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

The BIZARRE reason why Courteney Cox sold her home

<p dir="ltr">Courteney Cox has opened up about an experience with the paranormal in her personal life, and how it prompted her to make a life-altering decision: to sell her home.</p> <p dir="ltr">The former Friends star <a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/courteney-cox-sold-her-house-because-she-thought-it-was-haunted/ZLSFVTGYDWHC3YUPLXQCYA5JIM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was asked</a> about her experience with ghosts during an appearance on <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em>, where she was promoting her new horror comedy series, Shining Vale.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Are you a believer in ghosts? Have you had a ghost experience?” Kimmel asked.</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-6fda740e-7fff-0547-d678-d6ae8d6fab09"></span></p> <p dir="ltr">“I have had one. I didn’t believe it at first, but I lived in this house in Laurel Canyon, which is in LA, obviously,” Cox replied.</p> <p dir="ltr"><img src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2022/03/courtney-cox1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Courteney Cox told Jimmy Kimmel about her brush with the paranormal while promoting her new show. Image: Jimmy Kimmel Live (YouTube)</em></p> <p dir="ltr">She added that its residents included late burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee and famed singer Carole King.</p> <p dir="ltr">“[King] said that there had been a divorce and that was really ugly and there was a ghost in the house, and I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever’,” Cox continued.</p> <p dir="ltr">“But other people who would stay there with me like … friends of mine said they felt an encounter with a woman (who) was sitting on the edge of the bed, and I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever’.”</p> <p dir="ltr">She shared that King even came over and held a seance with her, but that she was too starstruck to be fully immersed in the experience.</p> <p dir="ltr">It wasn’t until later that Cox had her own experience with the ghost her friends had been talking about.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I was at the house one day, not being a big believer, and the doorbell rang and it was a UPS guy,” she recalled.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I opened the door and he said, ‘Do you know this house is haunted?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah why?’</p> <p dir="ltr">“And he goes, ‘Because there’s someone standing behind you’.</p> <p dir="ltr">“And I was like, ‘Let’s sell’.”</p> <p dir="ltr">After her story elicited gasps from the audience, Kimmel asked whether it was really the reason why Cox offloaded the home.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Probably,” she quipped in reply.</p> <p dir="ltr">“You don’t think of it the same way. You start seeing things,” she added.</p> <p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4065822b-7fff-528d-073b-f0d8517b56ff"></span></p> <p dir="ltr">You can watch the full interview below.</p> <p dir="ltr"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YtADP8RvqX8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p dir="ltr"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b6e8a431-7fff-70d9-028c-708a04c75933"></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Jimmy Kimmel Live (YouTube)</em></p>

Ellen DeGeneres moves in with Courtney Cox

<p>Courtney Cox has a new A-lister roommate.</p> <p>Ellen DeGeneres revealed she has been staying with the former<span> </span><em>Friends<span> </span></em>star as she had recently sold her Beverly Hills home.</p> <p>She also took a moment to dispel any marriage problems with wife Portia de Rossi.</p> <p>“I’m not having marital troubles,” the talk show host explained on<span> </span><em>Ellen</em>.</p> <p>“I’m not living with Courtenay Cox because I’m kicked out of my house.”</p> <p>Cox says while she is happy to have her friend bunking with her, she did say Ellen is not much of a respectful house guest.</p> <p>“You’re my style guru, so I was nervous about you staying there, being that I haven’t redone it. I haven’t been there in a year,” Cox said.</p> <p>“I had it cleaned. I moved everything off of the right side of the bathroom, so you’d have your space in the drawers. I was just really ready for you.”</p> <p>Cox revealed she sent her assistant over to the home to make sure DeGeneres had settled nicely, only to hear she done more than that.</p> <p>“And all of the sudden it was like, ‘Wait a minute. Ellen’s toothbrush is on my side!’ I had her open the drawer and I was like, ‘Well, where’s my makeup?’” Cox recalled.</p> <p>“So essentially you’re a terrible roommate. You took over my side and your side.”</p> <p>“That was Portia who took over your side,” DeGeneres joked in defence.</p> <p>“I only have one side. She happened to be there one night.”</p>

Courteney Cox opens up about her regret of plastic surgery

<p>Courteney Cox has opened up to <em>New Beauty</em> about Hollywood’s obsession with looking young and how it led her to make poor choices with her own body.</p> <p>“I grew up thinking that appearance was the most important thing. That’s kind of sad because it got me in trouble. I was trying so hard to keep up, and I actually made things worse,” she explained, highlighting  how doctors would commonly pressure her to nip and tuck here and there.</p> <p>“Well, what would end up happening is that you go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there.’ So you walk out and you don’t look so bad and you think, no-one noticed — it’s good. Then somebody tells you about another doctor: ‘This person’s amazing. They do this person who looks so natural.’ You meet them and they say, ‘You should just do this.’”</p> <p>The 53-year-old star revealed that after receiving so many outside opinions, she no longer looked like herself.</p> <p>“The next thing you know, you’re layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh s**t, this doesn’t look right.’ And it’s worse in pictures than in real life,” Courteney said. “I have one friend who was like, ‘Whoa, no more!’ I thought, I haven’t done anything in six months. I didn’t realise.”</p> <p>Some of her friends assured her that she looked good but eventually she had enough.</p> <p>“I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was,” Courteney added. “I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren’t wrinkles — they’re smile lines. I’ve had to learn to embrace movement and realise that fillers are not my friend.”</p> <p>Courteney also mentioned that she would “love” to have a child with her 40-year-old fiancé.</p> <p>“I would love to have a baby now,” she said. “I mean, I could carry someone else’s egg.”</p> <p>The TV star has a 13-year-old daughter named Coco with her ex-husband David Arquette who she was married to from 1999-2012.</p> <p>“I may be one of the older people doing it, but I would love to, with Johnny that is,” she said. </p> <p>“He’s younger than me, and with any other guy that would be the hardest thing in the world, but looks are not that important to him or his family. External beauty isn’t even on his radar.”</p> <p>“I used to worry about the age difference, but I don’t think it matters. He appreciates beauty, but it’s deeper than that,” she said.</p>
