Courteney Cox shows fans the 'weird' items hidden in her closet
The 61-year-old actress has given her fans a peek in her coat closet at home, which she doesn't need due to the California weather, so she's filled the space with all sorts of "weird" items.
In a video on Instagram, she said: "Living in California, we have very little need for a coat closet. This is what I have in my coat closet, and this is for real.
"I'll start with ... a Scream mask that — it's like a popcorn holder.
"Now what are the chances that you actually are going to serve popcorn ... or maybe it's for Halloween? Well, actually, that is a really good idea."
Next, Courteney revealed she has some life-size cutouts of her own face.
She said: "What the hell? I have masks of myself. This would be my dog walker. She got masks of myself, and I still have them. Okay, weird."
Later in the video, she also found another cardboard cutout of her upper body, and insisted she isn't "obsesssed" with herself.
She quipped: "Look at this. It's like I'm obsessed with myself, but I'm really not, I swear."
The Friends star noted she also has two small coats in there, which are for her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
She laughed: "These are the only coats that have in my closet. This little rain gear. You know, this is for not a baby.
"Nope, that's probably Lily's, this is Bear's. Just in case they go walking in the rain."
Elsewhere, Courteney found a "candle-making craft tool", as she mentioned her own Homecourt lifestyle brand.
She teased: "That's where Homecourt started, right there. We make our own candles. That's what I do all day, and then I sell them to you."
In another amusing moment, the Scream star joked she has "problems", when she found loads of baskets of different sized stacked inside each other.
There was also something for Friends fans, as Courteney - who joked the closet was "making her so anxious" - found a book from the classic comedy.
Before admitting she had to spend her evening "cleaning out this closet", the Hollywood star found an old photo album, which including a picture of her own mother as a child.
She said: "That's my mom when she was a baby. This is actually an important book. I'm glad I found it."

Wanging On with Graham Norton and Maria McErlane podcast review
In 2018, as Game of Thrones neared its hotly anticipated conclusion, star Emilia Clarke sat on a plush red couch and blushed uncontrollably. Next to her was Matt Le Blanc, one of the most famous sit-com actors of all time, and he'd good-naturedly indulged Clarke's girlish fantasy by sending his iconic Friends pick-up line – 'How you doin'?' – in her direction. It was television magic, to be sure, but somehow Graham Norton still managed to be the most compelling person on screen. Norton is, of course, the host of the eponymous comedy chat program The Graham Norton Show, and he regularly steals the limelight on a program that features some of the world's most famous, beautiful, and creative people as a rule. The Irishman got his start in stand-up comedy and acting before finding his niche in television and radio broadcasting, where he encountered the comic Maria McErlane. Also a presenter and writer, including for The Sunday Times Style in Britain, McErlane served as Norton's guest and co-host during stints on BBC Radio 2 and Virgin Radio. Their new podcast, Wanging On, has roots in their radio days when McErlane served as the Agony Aunt in a Radio 2 segment known as 'Grill Graham'. The series 'dishes out average advice and so-so solutions to [the] everyday dilemmas' sent in by listeners. And hoo-boy, are there some doozies. In addition to Norton and McErlane's input, each episode has a fun interactive element, where the show's most-dedicated listeners – known as 'Wangers' – proffer their advice and feedback on the dilemmas presented. Some do so in voice-memo format – perfect for podcasting – and a not-insignificant chunk of this crowdsourced guidance is as questionable as the letters themselves. Plus, Norton and McErlane finish each episode with a stand-alone segment called 'Am I Weird?', where listeners submit their, er, unique behaviours for assessment by the hosts. It's an entertaining way to cap off the episodes, sure, but in instances like this, I tend to be of the belief that if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. Perhaps the true purpose of that segment is to give the rest of us comfort that we are, in fact, normal – at least by comparison. Of course, the fatal flaw of all good advice content is the lack of resolution. How desperately I would like to know the outcome of a husband's conversation with his wife of several decades about her body odour problem. But, what? I'm just expected to continue living my life never knowing how she took the news that she'd developed a 'pungent' smell too strong for soap and laundry detergent? Graham and Maria, if you're reading this, consider it my formal request to add a segment where these crucial updates are given. I'm sure you're as curious as I am to know whether your sage advice was taken. Norton and McErlane's larger-than-life personalities, comedic genius, and 30 years of friendship is on full display in the handful of 30-minute episodes of Wanging On released to date. And episodes are available in video format on select platforms if you're not yet ready to let go of Norton's characteristically flamboyant delivery. 'It's relaxed, it's ridiculous, and it's what Maria and I have always loved doing – chatting nonsense and digging into people's drama,' Norton said of Wanging On. It's a good thing Norton and McErlane's particular brand of nonsense is pure, hilarious entertainment. Kristen Amiet is the producer of The Australian's daily news podcast The Front. Wanging On with Graham Norton and Maria McErlane is available now wherever you listen to podcasts.

‘Loved it all': Aussie man's last act before ending own life
EXCLUSIVE When a popular Melbourne real estate agent was told he had just weeks to live, he very quickly turned his attention to the last three things he needed to do. The first was to take his immediate family and four best friends on an all-expenses paid trip to Lizard Island. A holiday to make lasting memories for those he would leave behind. The second was to host a night of drinking, dancing, laughing – a party to end all parties. A live funeral if you will. The third was to find the perfect location, the perfect day and the perfect time to take his last breath. Fraser Cahill was a mover and a shaker. A dynamic, charismatic, loveable rogue who always achieved what he set out to do. This time was no different. He wanted to 'set sail' on his own terms, with dignity – but first, he wanted to be the life of the party one last time. 'In as far as having things to look forward to, this has been it for me,' Fraser told the close friends and family gathered at his pumping live wake earlier this year. 'A massive thank you to friends and family that have just been so supportive ever since I started getting a bit sick,' he said. 'All the little things. Fridge stocked, people sending around lasagnes, I haven't given the dishes back yet, I'm sorry … getting my medicine, going above and beyond. 'I think ever since I found out I was getting sick …. I realised all you are is the sum of your memories and as I look around this room and look into every single one of your eyes, I know there's been a memory. 'I don't feel scared. I feel nothing but absolutely so happy and so incredibly grateful to every single one of you for all of those memories because it allows me to go. I've loved it all.' Fraser's dad Doug said one of the most amazing qualities about his son was that he wanted everyone else to feel comfortable and at peace with his decision. 'We were sitting there one day and he said 'how old are you Dougie?' 'And I said 'I'm 78' and he laughed and said 'well you're' only a few years behind me, won't be long before I'm seeing you again. 'That was the type of man he was. He made everyone promise that he wouldn't be around sucking our thumb for the rest of eternity, we had to go on living and get on with things, that's what he wanted.' Fraser's big brother Wes agrees. 'He just loved life, he loved adventure, he loved the beach, he loved his family and his friends,' Wes says. When the dreaded diagnosis came confirming that the duodenal cancer Fraser had been battling so fiercely had spread to other organs, he wrote his bucket list. 'He wanted to make as many memories as he possibly could and say goodbye while he was strong enough,' his brother Wes said. 'In the short period of time that he had left, we continued to share jokes, go on adventures, continued to dive and the trip to Lizard Island was hard yet the best holiday we had ever had,' Wes said. 'He didn't want to burden anyone financially, so he funded the whole trip for us. That's what he was like, always giving to others and sharing his best moments. Then his closest friends helped us organise his party, which was the last laughs for him, sort of like a wake I suppose that he could attend. 'It was a big big night and it couldn't have gone any better. He had an auction to raise money for charity. DJs and the energy in the room and on the dance floor was like nothing else. 'He made his farewell speech, and then because of his love of the beach and boating and adventure, he chose Point Lonsdale beach for his final breaths. He wanted to set sail on his own terms and that's basically what happened.' Fraser's mum Mandy, dad Doug, brothers Wes and Quinton, and sister Nellie want to help raise awareness about voluntary assisted dying – a topic often discussed behind closed doors. The conversation can often be a sad, awkward one, but not in the Cahill household. The term VAD brings peace, closure and the most precious of memories. 'We had the best experience and everyone needs to know there are options available to them like we had,' Wes said. 'Fraser really wanted people to know that this sort of thing is an option. People should have the choice to do things their own way, die on their own terms and not suffer. 'And while what he wanted was bloody hard to organise, the remote location, the logistics, it can be done. We did it and it was absolutely worth it to give him what he wanted.' Not everyone agreed with Fraser's choice. The respite care facility where he spent time in his last weeks wanted nothing to do with his planning. 'His oncologist wasn't even allowed to speak of it in the facility where Fraser was an inpatient,' his mum Mandy said. 'This is a big issue, you can't even have those discussions in a facility that is Catholic. It's not their call, it shouldn't be their call.' Mrs Cahill said the family had to sneak Fraser out of the centre to take him for meetings to plan the VAD. Thankfully Fraser found his 'angel' Beth Dineen who was instrumental in making Fraser's VAD at the beach possible, even clearing the way with the local police. For the family the final days were a celebration of Fraser's life – with Fraser, instead of without him, after he was gone. His sister Nellie said everyone had to be brave, just like Fraser was, to give him the send off he deserved. 'I miss everything about him, I miss him checking in on me every day … he cared so much about everyone else and making sure everyone was OK,' she said. Ange misses her brother-in-law who she described as 'a best friend and unbelievable uncle to our boys Archie and Hugo'. 'Despite his life being cut incredibly short he has instilled a lifetime of love and memories for us all to cherish, the greatest being his zest for life,' she said. 'It was a huge relief for us all when we heard we could grant Fraser his last wish at the back beach. It was a long and stressful process to get it across the line and we would love to help make the process easier for others in this very sad situation.' Wes, who stayed with Fraser's side in hospital and during his palliative care, administering pain relief and medication as required, sums up the VAD experience for the family. 'We are lucky to have such fond memories of the end. So many people don't get that. Fraser wants them to have that too. So that's why we are here doing this. For Fraser.'

Tyra Banks makes shocking confession about ‘disgusting and erotic' addiction
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Tyra Banks knows how to pick 'em. The supermodel revealed her 'disgusting and erotic' habit of popping pimples and picking dirt from other people's toes during Thursday's episode of US show Today With Jenna & Friends. 'I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out,' Banks, who is co-hosting this week, told Jenna Bush Hager. 'But I have a kit. You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!' Banks shocked with her "disgusting" addiction. Picture: Supplied When Bush Hager asked who she targets with these rituals, the America's Next Top Model alum admitted that anyone in her household is fair game, reports Page Six. 'Anyone that wants it — my mum, my friends, my man, my son,' Banks confessed, referencing her beau, Louis Bélanger-Martin. 'And then, a pimple? If you had a pimple, I would be staring at you.' Banks labelled her 'addiction' as 'disgusting and erotic at the same time,' explaining, 'It touches those parts of me.' Banks at a tennis event during the Australian Open in January. Picture: Tennis Australia/ Fiona Hamilton However, the TV personality, 51, does have her limits. 'Nether regions. I'm not picking up in those,' Banks said. 'If somebody's like, 'Oh, can you check this?' I'm like, 'No … that's where I draw the line.' Chest up and knees down? It's on. I'm not popping and picking nothing [outside of] there.' The model further grossed out Bush Hager as she explained that her foot-focused obsession can get quite stinky at times. 'The toenail, because there's been stuff in there. The jam. The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and sometimes it's different colours. Sometimes it's brown, sometimes it's green,' she described. She's known for her glamorous appearance. Picture: Instagram. Banks has been romantically linked to Canadian businessman Bélanger-Martin since August 2018. In November 2019, we exclusively reported that the pair was taking the next step in their relationship by moving in together. 'Tyra and Louis live together but Louis always moves around a lot for business reasons,' an insider told us, adding that he and his ex-wife, Valérie Martin Scraire, have an apartment in England, a house in Barbados, and a home in Magog, Quebec. 'Louis also spends some time with his own child in England and around the world for business,' said the source. 'Tyra's child has his own room at Louis [and] Valerie's house in Magog and Tyra moved some of her stuff — clothes, jewellery — there too.'
