We are devastated! 'Friends' star Courteney Cox a.k.a Monica and her husband David Arquette
were termed by many as 'the perfect couple'. Their body language and
chemistry has always been one of warmth and friendship. And then
yesterday we heard that their 11-year marriage is on the rocks and that
they have separated. What really happened there?

Just a day after the announcement, David Arquette phoned Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite radio show to set the record straight.

According to Us Magazine:

"It breaks my heart," he said of their decision to
separate, adding that he is "not the one that called this [separation]
in order." "I've been begging Courteney to get back with me," he later
added. "She's conflicted too."

So what went wrong?

During the very candid conversation, Arquette, 39, implied that Cox, 46, grew tired of his kooky ways.

For their 11th wedding anniversary this past June, she bought him a
motorcycle. "She said to me, 'I don't want to be your mother anymore,'"

If a really crazy day at work or home is getting you down, here's
what you can do to "up" that mood, and "down" that anxiety level.

Did you know some drinks have properties that actually help calm you down? Well, it's true. According to Reader's Digest magazine, there are five common drinks that help bring down your pressure levels.

Take a look:

1. Drink a glass of milk. It contains
tryptophan, which as it is metabolized is converted to mood-boosting
serotonin. Plus, its calcium, magnesium and potassium content may help
keep blood pressure down.

2. Drink hot cocoa. Warm drinks raise your body temperature—a feeling we associate with comfort, so it triggers a similar response in our brains.

3. Order black tea instead of coffee. A study by
University College London shows that drinking black tea four times a day
for six weeks lowered the stress hormone cortisol after a stressful
event.

4. Drink green tea - packed with theanine, which
increases the brain's output of relaxation-inducing

Yup. Now, you don't need to go on a crazy diet or spend hours in a
gym tiring yourself off. You can look thinner instantly with these
simple tips.

• Buy a New Bra

The one thing every woman can do right now to look thinner in her
clothes is to buy a new bra, says Krupp. "Eighty-five percent of women
are walking around in the wrong bra, and it makes their breasts look
lower than they should be." The goal is to create as much space as
possible between your waist and chest so your torso appears longer and
leaner, advises Krupp. The trick is to have an expert measure you
instead of automatically buying the same size you always do. Head to the
lingerie department at a fine department store or a specialty shop like
the Intimacy boutique to get hooked up (no pun intended).

• Wear a V-Neck Top

When it comes to dressing thinner, Krupp swears by V-neck tops. "The
downward diamond shape optically elongates and narrows so you don't have
a cutoff point where the actual neck stops, which gives the

Now, we all know it's never too early to start taking care of your
skin. But when your age reaches the plus-minus 30 mark, ladies and
gentlemen, pull up your socks if you don't want wrinkles by 40.

Nowadays the market offers so many different products to keep ageing
away; not to mention grandmother's recipes. But what do you do when you
want that young supple skin as you prep for a party in the next couple
of hours?

Shine.yahoo.com brings you some simple things you can do to make you skin look young, now. Take a look.

1. Keep your eye-cream in the fridge for quick under-eye depuffing.
The cold constricts blood vessels to help swelling go down- and it feels
extra refreshing.

2. An at-home gloss treatment dramatically amps up shine and refreshes your highlights, giving your face a happy boost.

3. Define your eyebrows. A pair of full, arched brows works like an
instant eye lift. Pluck errant hairs and fill in sparse areas with a
fine-tipped brow pencil.

4. Apply a firming body cream.
