David Arquette is in New York with his girlfriend Christina McLarty and they took a walk in Soho. Judging by this photo, they look like a match made in heaven – a better match than he was with his ex Courteney Cox. It’s nice to see him SO happy after he was devastated by the bustup of his marriage. Good things DO happen!
We have to give Courteney Cox credit for handling her break-up with David Arquette with such sensitivity. She and David separated last year but she has yet to file for divorce. When they first split, David was despondent – he went kind of nuts partying and had an affair. Courteney talked him into checking into rehab and he completed treatment. After David left rehab he got a grip on himself and Courteney made sure he had access to their daughter Coco. She let him down gently. As Courteney hoped, time passed and David eventually found a girl he cares about (He’s seeing E.T. reporter Christina McLarty) and accepted the idea of divorce. Now they can have a civilized divorce with minimal hurt feelings – thanks to Courteney’s patience.

Celebrities usually arrive at rehearsals for “Dancing With The Stars” looking sloppy in t-shirts and sweats. But David Arquette showed up dressed like his idea of a 1930’s leading man – or Fred Astaire. He’s even wearing white buck dancing shoes! If creative apparel is any indication of dancing skill, he’s a major contender.

Now that he’s reasonably single, David Arquette can wear whatever he wants to BOA in West Hollywood – in this case he wore a workman’s jacket with the name “Ed” sewn on the pocket, a scarf covered with cartoon dogs, and trousers held up with a rope. He’s happy because he spent Easter with his daughter and his estranged wife Courteney Cox. We get the feeling that Courteney wants to end the marriage, but she just can’t bring herself to break the news to David, who is still hopeful.
David Arquette is making a grand last attempt to save his marriage to Courteney Cox by checking into rehab. As we told you, Courteney has been alarmed by David’s alcohol consumption and late partying since they split up and she tried to talk him into rehab. She pointed out that if nothing else, he owed it to his daughter. After one last boozy night out at the Roosevelt Hotel on New Year’s Eve, David went straight to rehab, saying he “owed it to his family.”
We TOLD you that Courteney Cox was angling to get her estranged husband David Arquette into rehab for the holidays. And we weren’t exaggerating. Since they announced their split, he’s been partying like a madman. (Above, he’s dancing on a table in Miami) Now he‘s admitted to Howard Stern that he’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown and he’s been drinking A LOT because he’s heartbroken about the separation. He says “Everybody’s worried about me,” and apparently his weekly visits to a psychiatrist aren’t helping. It sounds like Courteney will get her wish very soon.

With so many celebrities spending the holidays in rehab we figure the temptation to overindulge must be rampant at this time of the year. Courteney Cox is not thrilled by the fact that her estranged husband David Arquette has been partying like a frat boy since they split, and she would love HIM to check into rehab. David loves the night life and Courtney would rather relax at home after a long day at work – certainly this contributed to their split. Whether they get back together or not, Courteney would like to see her child’s father calm down and drink less.
David Arquette’s shockingly honest interview with Howard Stern about what happened to his marriage clearly illustrates the difference between him and his estranged wife Courteney Cox .We can’t remember the last time we heard a celebrity tell his story with such endearing sincerity and without those hackneyed phrases supplied by their publicists. He even confessed that Courteney scolded him “I’m tired of being your mother!” David admitted they were separated, he emphasized that he still loves his “amazing” wife and he owned up to seeing another woman! And he didn’t blame the “other woman,” Jasmine Waltz, for leaking the story. He said it didn’t matter. Courteney must have been apoplectic when she heard the interview – honesty with the press is not her thing. She’s secretive and likes to control every aspect of her image. No WONDER these two split.
Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s split is not such a surprise because they have been going home to separate houses for many months now. An insider told us “They haven’t slept together in over a year!” Courteney, 46, has been wrapped up in her TV series “Cougar Town” and she recently finished filming “Scream 4” with David, 39. Their 11 year marriage just fizzled out. It was all very civilized and they kept up appearances for work and for their daughter Coco, 6. The only reason their separation leaked out now is because David has been quietly seeing another woman and photos surfaced. (Watch for THOSE coming soon!) THAT put an end to the Arquettes secret separation.

We just got some juicy details from movie mogul Ron Meyer’s Easter party in Malibu last Sunday. It was aiming to be “green” – in Hollywood that means no paper plates or cups – only china, silver, and crystal, plus linen table coverings and napkins in pastel colors. All the trees in the driveway and yard were festooned with pastel ribbons.
Nearly 500 guests and their kids feasted on custom omelets and waffles, vats of oatmeal with raspberries, bagels, etc. topped off with mountains of Sprinkles cupcakes in pastel colors. Two forty foot long buffets groaned with designer food. The kids ran around and hunted for hundreds of plastic eggs that were hidden all over the beachfront property- they were stuffed with candy, toys and some with cash!
While Suri and Katie hunted for eggs, Tom Cruise played touch football and he was described as “throwing like a girl.” Barbra Streisand and James Brolin had a long conversation with Meryl Streep. Also socializing and sipping champagne: Warren and Annette, Goldie and Kurt and Kate Hudson, Tobey McGuire, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Spielbergs, Conan O’Brien, Jamie Foxx, and the Arquettes. (in photo above)
Most of the kids over ten were furiously texting and talking on their cell phones.
The best part was the “Petting Zoo” – “it was like Noah’s ark.” They had baby chicks and ducks, baby pigs, baby goats, two baby ZEBRAS, miniature ponies, a baby kangaroo and a baby camel, and a young chimp. Before guests departed they were reminded to pick up their individual Easter baskets, which were hanging in the trees labeled with each child’s name. The hefty baskets contained MORE STUFF- movies, DVD’s iPods, games, gourmet chocolate, toys, stuffed animals – whatever was age appropriate.
Wow. And this was a “green” party in the middle of a recession!
