Busy Philipps and Courteney Cox slipped in to their bikinis to film Cougar Town at the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu yesterday. The cast have been filming on location this week, but Courteney found time to relax at the weekend with her daughter Coco and Brian Van Holt. Busy has had a hectic schedule, walking the red carpet at Sunday's Oscars with Michelle Williams, after honouring her friend at a Forevermark party. She did the rounds of pre-Oscars parties and dinners. Busy and a camera assistant are tweeting updates from the rainy set where they're having lots of fun.
Courteney Cox on Why Cougar Town Is Her Saving Grace and Being Back Into Scream Mode
Even though I'm at the Winter TCA to report back to you on all the new midseason TV, I do have some news about your current favourite shows. Today I got to visit the set of Cougar Town (more on that later!), and star Courteney Cox sat down with reporters to talk about her quirky series, how it's helped her at this time in her life, how she's different from her Scream 4 costars, and her old Friends costar Matt LeBlanc's new series Episodes.

Has the show been a good escape for difficult times in your life?
Courteney Cox: Oh yeah. Thank God for the show. There have been times that Bill has said, "Do you need to take a break?" And [I say] "Are you kidding?" This is my saving grace.
Is there any chance Sheryl Crow will come back?
CC: We had fun with her! And she had fun, she said. She really liked it. I don't know, maybe!
How was it stepping back into the Scream franchise?
CC: That character is really over the top, and I just realized that was 10 years ago; all of the actors on the set, the new group, they're very subdued, kind of quiet. And I stick out like a sore thumb; I was like "Gail Weathers is back!" Like, are they going to talk any louder at all? They are very cool, and I'm older, and not as cool. But I stepped into my character; we'll see what happens. Dewey was Dewey! But then, you know, people have changed. People are cooler than me.
Is it true that there will be more Scream films after this one?
CC: There is going to be a Scream 4, 5, and 6. [But] I don't know anything.

Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, and 4 More ABC Shows Renewed

It's ABC's time to shine at the Winter TCA, and the network kicked off the day by announcing the pickup of six series. It's no shocker that rating hits like Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family will be coming back, along with The Middle, Private Practice, and Castle. I was also delighted to see that Cougar Town will be getting a third season.
As for shows that are still in the lurch? The jury is still out on aging series like Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters, plus freshman series like Better With You.
What do you think of the early pickups? Did your favourite make the cut?
