Courteney Cox is slinking into her second season of the FX show, "Dirt," which premieres March 2nd, as Lucy Spiller, the cutthroat executive editor of two tabloid magazines. The stress of starring in and producing the series, while also juggling her role of wife and mother has taken a toll on the already petite actress, who appears to be dwindling away. Plus, the writers' strike halted production of Courteney's show and now the second season is airing with only the episodes filmed from when the scripts originally ran out.
From all that stress, Cox has reportedly dropped two dress sizes, from a size 6 to a 2. That is insane, but again incomprehensible for me. Single-digit sizes are something I'm not able to fully understand.

Wait...when was Courtenay Cox EVER a size 6??? She's always been TINY. A 2 maybe but a 6, hardly.
Hot Dog says:
I wish they'd promote Phoebe as the sexy Friend. I'm weary of women trying to be a size zero.
Kate says:
She has never been a size 6. NEVER. Not during the entire Friends run and after, never been a size 6.

ritz says:
ok people have to stop hating on small size girls not all of us are on diets some people are just naturally really thin so get over and stop making girls feel bad because they're not 'curvy' enough.
Cracker sandwich says:
ritz, we're not hating on "naturally really thin" women. Nowhere in the comments is this stated.
Both Courtney and Jen Aniston were in competition to be hotter and thinner when they were on Friends, and both apparently are continuing on that path. I recall when Friends first started and Jen did a People interview - she mentioned being around 145 pounds with naturally curly hair, and that "if she wanted a cheeseburger, she was going to eat a cheeseburger." Times change.
Buzzkut says:
She cooks, is a very good cook and eats.. as she wants to be healthy. I hear the secret is to eat solids ONCE a day.. otherwise it's healthy shakes and plenty of crunchy crudites.
Persistent Cat says:
I super-dig the ad for her show on the left-hand side of this page.
chigirl says:
Agreed! No way has she EVER been a size 6. Always a 2, still a 2.

This is what Nancy Sinatra would look like if she were a kindergarten teacher.
