Courteney Cox has a smart publicist, who wisely let is slip yesterday – while the whole world was talking about New Moon ticket sales and the American Music Awards – that Courteney has halted production on her hit show “Cougar Town” so that she can attend to some secret, personal problem. “We can confirm production on “Cougar Town” has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter,” said an ABC rep.

TV insiders tell us that it’s pretty rare to completely stop production, and the network incures a huge cost for doing so. Which leaves us wondering – what could be going on in Courteney’s life that’s so awul she’d have to completely stop her popular sitcom to deal with it? Your guess is as good as ours – try ‘em out for size in the comments below.

Psst – According to E! Online, production will resume next week. Mysterious!
