us. “She was talking and sat there drinking tea.”

A star’s best friend? Her dermatologist.

But advises Courteney Cox Arquette, be careful when removing wrinkles.

“Botox? I think it’s fantastic and also horrible,” the Friends and Dirt star tells November’s Marie Claire. “I mean, they’ve come up with this stuff that can make you not look angry. But you have to use it sparingly.”

Having gone through that, she says, “When people start messing with their foreheads and can’t lift their eyebrows, that’s weird. It’s not that I haven’t tried Botox - but I hated it.”

As for the major leap into facing the knife, first she must face another hurdle: husband David Arquette, who loves her as she is. He’s against plastic surgery.

“It’s really important to him,” says Cox Arquette. “He loves the aging process. He thinks it’s beautiful, %26#91;so%26#93; I’m under pressure to not do anything.”

• Mary Kate Olsen, lightening her locks at Neil

George Salon in Beverly Hills (where Reese Witherspoon also recently went blonder!). The fashionista arrived for her appointment

getting hot up here!” Sister
