Yesterday we saw a few photos from the PaleyFest panel discussion featuring the cast of Dexter, which was hosted by the Paley Center for Media here in LA, and today we get to see a few photos from last night’s PaleyFest discussion featuring the cast of Cougar Town. Like the Dexter panel, last night’s Cougar Town event was held at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, CA and featured members of the principal cast on stage … live and in person:

As you can see, all of our Cougar faves here in the hiz last night … including Ms. Thang Courteney Cox-Arquette. I believe only Busy Philips was the only main player not in attendance at last night’s event. I’ve yet to find info about what was discussed during last night’s panel discussion but with a new show like this, I doubt anything of any seriousness was revealed. Because Dexter has a history and because of the way the last season ended, there was a lot of opportunity for spoilery info to be revealed. With Cougar Town, I’m guessing the talk was mainly about storylines may get wrapped up by season’s end and what the show hopes to accomplish in season’s to come. Still, it would’ve been very cool to see these stars in person. Cougar Town is one of my fave shows right now … I’m happy to see that it is doing so well.

Mama Courtney Cox-Arquette brought her only begotten child Coco to work with her yesterday on the set of Cougar Town. As you can see from the following ADORABLE photos, Court and Coco shared a few kisses in between takes:

It’s crazy how big Coco has grown … I remember when she was a newborn and now she’s a big kid. These pics are so cute. I’m glad to see that Courteney is still hard at work on new eps of Cougar Town, too. But these smoochy pics of Courteney and Coco are just too much ;)

A few weeks ago it was reported that musician Sheryl Crow will be guest starring in upcoming eps of her BFF Courteney Cox-Arquette’s hit comedic sitcom Cougar Town on ABC and today we get our first look at Crow on the show. People magazine just released the first promo still from Sheryl Crow’s first episode of Cougar Town … behold:

Sheryl Crow has caught the acting bug — and getting to kiss a hunky TV star didn’t help! The singer is set to appear in a recurring role on Cougar Town, which stars her pal Courteney Cox, beginning in March. “I play a woman named Sara in her 40s who’s a wine dealer,” Crow tells PEOPLE. “I don’t want to give too much away but there’s a little romance with Grayson (Josh Hopkins, pictured), who lives across the street from Jules, which is Courteney’s character. Jules and Grayson have always had a sort of unspoken thing for each other.” Does that mean there will be a catfight over serial dater Grayson? “I don’t know if I can give it away,” Crow says with a laugh. She did dish, however, on smooching Hopkins. “He’s a good kisser,” she says. “But it’s always weird kissing somebody when there are 3,000 people around.” But Crow had a plan for getting over her nerves — rip it like a Band Aid! “The first day I walked in and I saw Josh and I said, ‘Okay, kiss me! Let’s get it over with.” And so they did: “Yeah. I said let’s get it over with,” she says. “No surprises.”

As I’ve said many times, I LOVE Cougar Town. It sounds like Sheryl will be bringing some more drama to the show … which is always a good thing. I loved it when Lisa Kudrow guested on the show, here’s hoping Sheryl’s ep(s?) will be just as fun to watch!

While ABC has decided to cancel Ugly Betty, they are still in full support of new show Cougar Town which continues to film new episodes this week here in SoCal. Last month we saw photos of star Courteney Cox-Arquette filming scenes with co-star Christa Miller and today we get to see new pics from the set of CT. In these pics, Courteney is lookin’ fly on a motorcycle with, what looks to be, co-star Brian Van Holt:

LOL. I know I’m such a geek but I LOVE Cougar Town ;) The show never ceases to make me laugh and David and I make it a point to watch the show together every week. I keep telling David that he will prolly grow up to look like Jules’s ex-hubby Bobby (Van Holt, pictured here with Cox-Arquette on the motorcycle) mostly in looks rather than behavior (tho, I could see David living on a boat in a drive way some day). I’m glad to see that new eps of this show continue to be filmed ;)

In early December we got our first look at Lisa Kudrow’s upcoming guest appearance on BFF Courteney Cox-Arquette’s hit ABC series Cougar Town and a couple weeks after we got to see the first video promo for the ep. Today we get to see a couple new promo photos from the set of Cougar Town and we learn a bit more about Kudrow’s appearance on the show. Be warned, the following report contains spoilers for the ep that has yet to air:

It seems Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow became companions for life after working together for almost 10 years on Friends. Because six years after the hit comedy show ended, the pair are still keen to work together … She guest stars as a nasty dermatologist who digs her claws into zany divorcee Jules Cobb’s (Cox) ex-husband. The episode airs in the U.S. on Wednesday. Cox and Kudrow starred as Monica Geller and Phoebe Buffay for 10 seasons on NBC’s Friends. During a break from filming the episode last November, the duo – who are pals in real life, as evidenced by their unabashed banter – chatted about working opposite each other again. ‘I get to play a really mean person,’ teased Kudrow, ’so that’s really fun.’ Last year, Cox guest-starred on Kudrow’s wry online improv series Web Therapy as a psychic looking to get her sixth sense back from Kudrow’s matter-of-fact therapist. Kudrow insisted she would have taken just about any role offered on Cougar Town, as long as it didn’t require any nudity. Cox, 45, however, has not had such an issue with stripping off on screen and has done so in the name of laughs on more than one occasion since Cougar Town debuted on ABC last September to more than 11million viewers. ‘I’ve turned a corner,’ Cox said jokingly. ‘Now that I’m this age, I’ve decided to go as nude as possible.’ ‘You look great,’ Kudrow told her. ‘No, Lisa, I’m lit well,’ Cox retorted. ‘Well, I could be on the surface of the sun, and it wouldn’t look good,’ Kudrow quipped. Cox said there was an open invitation for all her Friends co-stars – Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and Jennifer Aniston – to stop by Cougar Town. But she was most anxious for a visit from Kudrow, a Groundlings improv vet who starred in such films as Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion and Wonderland during her Friends tenure. ‘I really wanted Lisa to be on the show, if she would,’ said Cox. ‘First of all, she’s so unbelievably talented. I knew she’d go out there and play a really fun character, so it just kind of worked out perfectly for her to play a dermatologist that is very judgmental and not nice. She takes those risks… It was great.’

OOOOH, I love it!! I quite like the ex-husband character that actor Brian Van Holt plays on Cougar Town, I think his scenes with Kudrow will be a lot of fun. After the jump, check out a promo photo that features Cox-Arquette, Kudrow and Van Holt filming a seemingly integral scene for this new ep …

Yesterday I posted lists of my Fave Music of ‘09 and today I present lists of my Fave Movies and TV shows of 2009. I had a hard time narrowing down my lists for both movies and TV but, in the end, I think I got the list right … at least for me :) Here are my Top 10 Fave Movies of 2009:

At #10 is Avatar:

This movie, in IMAX 3D, was an amazingly beautiful sight to see. I’ll admit that the story (not at all unique) wasn’t the best ever but the storytelling coupled with the amazing special effects makes this movie worthy of inclusion on any Top 10 List for 2009. It was said that Avatar would change the way we watch movies in theaters FOREVER … and while I wouldn’t exactly agree, I will say that James Cameron’s 15 years devoted to the making of this film were well spent. Avatar may not be a game changer but it very well may be a movie that we look back in years to come as a masterful modern fairytale.

At #9 is Moon:

This movie was all story. While it was cool to look at, the real draw here was the story and acting performance by Sam Rockwell. For most of the film, he acted opposite himself … and he did so very, very well. This movie was not really seen by a lot of people but I think those that did see did really enjoy it … I know I did.

At #8 is The September Issue:

This movie may have been called the “real-life Devil Wears Prada” but it was so much more than that. It was a really intriguing look into what it takes to publish the singly most important magazine issue in the world of Fashion. I loved seeing Vogue Editor In Chief Anna Wintour in action in this film but the real star of The September Issue is Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington. This film prolly wasn’t very interesting to folks not interested in Fashion but I loved it immensely.

At #7 is Taken:

Taken was prolly the biggest surprise for me this year. The film was released in France early in 2008 and then in the UK in Fall 2008. It wasn’t released in the US until January of 2009 and without much fanfare. I think I went to see it on a fluke and I was totally blown away by how fun the film was. Liam Neeson, action star. It was kind of like a Bourne Identity film but with an older, more mature hero. When I sat down to compile this list, I knew Taken would be on it because it’s one of the films that I really remember enjoying this year.

At #6 is Drag Me to Hell:

Okay, I take it back … Taken was not the biggest surprise for me this year, Drag Me to Hell was — for sure! I distinctly remember laughing out loud the first time I saw the trailer for Hell. It looked stupid and I had no plans to waste my time … then word of mouth started going around and people I trusted said that they loved it. I checked it out and, wouldn’t you know it, I loved it too! The movie wasn’t trying to be anything other than what it is … a jump in your seat, fun, horror flick. It’s a lot of fun.

Earlier this month we got our first look at Lisa Kudrow’s guest appearance on the ABC hit sitcom Cougar Town (which stars Kudrow’s Friends compatriot Courteney Cox-Arquette) and today we get to see a preview clip from that special episode. Here are a few screencaps from the vid:

As was mentioned in the earlier post about Kudrow’s guest appearance, her character Dr. Evans is a hard-nosed beyotch who is no friend to Courteney’s character Jules on the show. Apparently, making these two characters the furthest thing from friends is meant to be funny. Hell, I love the show to death so I’m excited. After the jump, check out the preview video clip in full …
