Late yesterday when word started getting out about the split of Courteney Cox and David Arquette there were so many different stories and guesses, but this morning David went on The Howard Stern show and explained it all at least as to his side.
He says that Courteney was the one who suggested the split. David also said that he never cheated on Courteney while they were together but has been having sex with a bartender who has also dated Ryan Seacrest and Chris Pine. Oh, and she was the woman who punched Lindsay Lohan during the summer.
Anyway, David told Howard that Courteney wanted to get a divorced because she was tired of being his mother which I could see. She also stopped having sex with David about a month before they started filming Scream 4.
Now, what David did not talk about or confirm was the whole open marriage thing. Remember it is not cheating if your wife goes along with it.
i never understood this pairing. i always thought she could do so much better. and him going on stern and spilling all the personal shit pretty much confirms how i've always felt about him. real classy, david!
ReplyDeleteHe's a regular joe schmoe. I like him for that. He doesn't try to be Clooney, and then acts like this. He is who he is, and that's fine with me.
ReplyDeleteI still think Courtney is boinking her TV ex-husband on Cougar, and this confirms it.
I love how he feels it necessary to tell everyone when they stopped having sex - I would feel so pleased if I was Courteney(!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, hi i'm new :)
what a dick bag. but then again if your first thought is to go on Stern a day after your split is announced...she's better off without him. he IS a fucking child.
ReplyDeleteyep, he is a dickwad
ReplyDeleteGood for David. She radiates uptight, arrogant, humorless bitch, and is infamous for being a shithead to servers the world over. She's been fucking around on set and has repeatedly floated rumors about David being on drugs or cheating. She's a bitch. Sorry, folks, but it's true.

ReplyDeleteI so can't wait for this to air on Howard on Demand tonight!!
ReplyDeleteI always liked Courtney but hearing she punched Lindsay Lohan, makes me like her more.
ReplyDeleteI always thought these two were very mature and realistic about their relationship -- going through preventative counseling and being realistic about the fact that we as humans aren't biologically wired for monogamy.
ReplyDeleteThat whole interview completely negates what I just said. Can't believe he said that stuff so publicly and so soon!
Sounds like she wanted to "seperate" because she was interested in someone else. Why else be so adamant about it and then say it's ok if they sleep with people? He sounded really sad about it...Team David

ReplyDeletedoes anyone remember not too long ago when he was supposed to be on Howard and was so trashed that he sent some dude that he met the night before in his place??
ReplyDeleteproblems for a WHILE
Why did he feel the need to say that his girlfriend dated Seacrest and Chris Pine? Does that mean he's in good company or was he trying to establish her celeb whore credentials?
ReplyDeleteI think he is doing the establish the celeb whore credentials.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda thinking he has gone off the rails and Courtney gave him the boot.
@Cheryl - maybe he is hinting he is gay cause aren't those guys supposed to be? Maybe she is a well established beard?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I wonder if this has anything to do with the whole Ben Harper Laura Dern thing. Arent' they all good buddies? Sounds to me like several blinds are going to be revealed before the dust settles on these.
Dang BigMama I didn't even think of that.
ReplyDeleteuh oh..
Wait, who punched Lohan? Courteney or the bartender?
ReplyDeleteThe bartender
ReplyDeleteHi and welcome to Mini! :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't like either one of these douchebags.
Saying that your girlfriend has dated Seacrest and Chris Pine tells me one thing and one thing only... she's a professional beard. Is that the message David Arquette wants to send us? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I can't stand CCox, never could. She's screechy and hyper and a grade A shrew. I also think she's a giant ZERO as an actress. Cougar Town is funny in spite of her.
At least Courtney will be able to get dating tips from Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing including the Howard Stern bit seems orchestrated on both their parts. I can see the two of them planning the big media reveal.
ReplyDeleteDavid's new piece has also been with Jesse McCartney. Either she's his beard or his way of not looking like the dumpee. TMZ's slideshow of Jasmine's men:

Wait, isnt this the same interview where he said CC is the most amazing person ever and that he wants their marriage to work out, and that he believes it will?
ReplyDeleteWhen did he bring up his girlfriend then, before or after he said all that?
He's such a child but she knew that, she seems like a stuck up b*ch then again he knew that, I'm actually surprise that they made it this far. Now we'll get the "Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox going on a man-hunt" cover stories.
ReplyDeleteShe's manipulating him bigtime.
ReplyDelete11 years and she's bored. I heard his interview on Howard he was practically crying.
It's all just to make it OK for her when her love interest is revealed.
They'll both live. BUT.
Poor little CoCo.
Here's the audio interview:
ReplyDeletehttp://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/101210_new_arquette_bleeped_v2.mp3
He sounds angry and she sounds like she has something with her costar.
Bish - how do you know this is true? Just curious?
ReplyDeleteMini - hi :-)
Jax - right on, you said exactly what I was thinking.
It was the waitress who punched Lohan. She also f*cked Paris Hilton's ex so do we all need a shot of Valtrex just writing about her?
Here's more of the interview...He confronted her about the affair with her costar. And, he admits he thinks it maybe an affair of the heart for her...

Mini:
ReplyDeleteHi
Welcome mini :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna give him a break on spilling the deets since it sounds like he's hurting.
Look forward to learning whether the marriage was open or whether it was only open on one side. Didn't she infamously say once that "divorce is not an option"??

ReplyDeleteThank you to all those who welcomed me!
ReplyDeleteWelcome mini.
ReplyDeleteI'm always sad when any marriage bites the dust. That being said, I'm surprised that she stuck it out with him as long as she did. If he's as immature as he seems (and even David seems to admit this in the Stern interview), that is a constant drain on the more mature partner. It's one of the reasons that she comes across as such a cold bitch. My best friend is married to a man-child. Like David and Courtney, they have one child. She is basically a single mother to both of them. Over the years, it has absolutely worn out her patience and good humor. It infuriates me when I hear someone call her cold or hard or worse. They then get an earful from me! She'd probably divorce him except that he actually has a good job (he has little supervision at work) with great healthcare, and she knows it would traumatize their daughter to not have the fun parent (who's more like her brother) around. I'm totally on team Courtney on this one. Sorry to vent like this, but this just hits close to home for me. I hate seeing the "grown-up" spouse play the villian.
I have to agree with R.J.
ReplyDeleteBeing the grown up is hard...
Hi Mini! :)
ReplyDeleteI was sad when I first heard of their split last night. I like both of them. Always thought they were kind of an odd match but...11 years is a LONG time for Hollyweird.
I'm kind of upset he spilled the beans on Stern's show but...I guess I'll reserve judgement until we hear more. Haven't they long been rumored to have an open relationship?
What Bish said!
ReplyDeleteGood for David. She's a huge crazy bitch. He should have jumped ship a while ago.
Hello and Welcome to mini!
ReplyDeleteTheir whole relationship seemed off to me. They didn't seem to have much common ground. It's a shame.
uncool, David. lol
ReplyDeleteK as usual I’m taking the other side – let’s reverse things here for a second – after Brad had an emotional affair on the set of MMS – and say if Jen had a fling after they separated and said it made her feel “womanly” – would you all not have cheered and say you go Girl-sure ya would have.
ReplyDeleteI think david is hurting and probably went out – got drunk , told the floozy bartender his sob story and ended up getting laid (once maybe twice).
I don’t see this as his issue – he sounds upset and like he wants his life back?
Just my take on things – age difference made a difference – Courtney got tired of his immaturity and had a connection to a hot guy shw was spending a lot of time with telling him how her marriage wasn’t working anymore – sound familiar???
Ya can’t crucufy brad and ange and give courtney a pass for doing the SAME THING
@RJ- yep, I feel ya entirely. I'm the same way with my partner- it is literally like living with a child. Over the years, he has worn me down until people who don't know me (and ok, people who DO know me say it, too) say I'm cold and unemotional now. It's because it sucks the life out of you to always be the mature one, the bill-payer, the steady one, while the other one gets to be the dreamer and just have fun every day. I'm the one who packs lunches, makes sure he eats something other than pure sugar, makes sure the yard looks ok, etc... and I stay because I really, truly love him. I HAVE to, to still stay. And we're at 4 yrs. At 11 yrs in, I can guarantee I will look like just as much of a snotty bitch as CC does.
ReplyDeleteI was going to post snarky things about this, and then I read some of the posts about people in unsatisfying relationships. It's sad stuff! As an old man, my advice is: Looking back on relationships that are over, I am sometimes haunted by the fact that halfway through the failed relationships, there always were moments when I realized that this was not the person I should be with, and I ignored those feelings, and I wasted much time. Love yourself, spend time with friends and family, and love people and enjoy love when it's there for you, and leave when it's over. Don't suffer! I want everyone to be happy, and sometimes that means breaking things off.
ReplyDeletehe's a mega huge Stern fan, he even interned at the show a couple times this year -- so when he was hurting and wanted to vent he went on the show -- stuff would come out anyway eventually
ReplyDeletebasically saying they weren't having sex anymore, etc -- i'm sure many of us have been there, and that can be a huge deal in a relationship
they made it 11 yrs, long time in hollywood, and he said he didn't cheat while they were married -- don't jump on him so hard, we don't know the inner workings of their relationship or what events may have happened
