These are photos of Courteney Cox and her daughter Coco on Christmas Eve, in West Hollywood. So… I guess she didn’t fly to Cabo with Brian Van Holt after all…? Well, the signals are definitely mixed. In these photos, Cox is wearing her wedding ring, apparently for the first time in months. Also, Court brought Coco as her “date” for a Christmas Eve party. However, according to E! News’ Marc Malkin, Cox and Van Holt were definitely couple-y the night before at yet another Christmas party:

Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt don’t give a hoot what people think their relationship is or isn’t. In fact, they were inseparable the other night at the show’s holiday party…

A source tells me that they didn’t show any outward signs of being more than just friends, but “Courteney and Brian pretty much stuck together the majority of the evening.”

Cox watched Van Holt play costar Josh Hopkins in air-hockey. Then Van Holt cheered Cox on during her game against Hopkins.

The three-hour bash took place on the Cougar Town soundstage and featured Bacardi drinks, a snow cone machine and In N’ Out and Border Grill food trucks.

Cox’s estranged hubby, David Arquette, has said he believes she and Van Holt have been having an “emotional affair.”

“There definitely wasn’t any hand-holding or kissing,” the partygoing source said. “But they did stay and stand together for most of the party.”

Yeah, I think Courteney is manipulating the situation, biding her time until she and Van Holt “come out” as an official couple. David Arquette is gumming up the works however, by being so obviously devastated with their split. If only he wasn’t so obviously up for reconciliation, Courteney could have thrown him under the proverbial bus and already “rolled out” her new relationship. Just my opinion.

Also my opinion? Courteney stayed in town because she had some last-minute Christmas plastic surgery. Look at that face and tell me she’s aging naturally.

It’s no secret (to me) that Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s marriage ended around the same time that Courteney began boning her Cougar Town costar, Brian Van Holt. There were rumors about Brian and Court last spring, and while David Arquette seems to be the one willing to take the blame for the failure of the marriage, Courteney hasn’t said one thing about her relationship with Van Holt, which I think is on-going, and has been for most of this year (at least). Now Star Magazine is reporting that Courteney and Brian are planning on spending the holidays together… with Cox and Arquette’s daughter Coco. Leaving David alone for the holidays. Damn, bitch. That’s harsh.

It’s Courteney Cox’s first Christmas without her estranged spouse of 11 years, David Arquette. But she’s not staying at home stewing.

Instead, Courteney and her beau and costar Brian Van Holt are planning a cozy getaway, likely in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, or Hawaii, joined by her daughter Coco, and a nanny.

While David is heartbroken his family will be away for the holidays, “Courteney needs this badly,” says a friend. “She intends to make this an amazing time with Brian.”

One way she’s insuring that the trip is extra special” by stocking up on $5,000 worth of lingerie at La Perla!

“She says that Brian makes her feel wonderfully free and sexy,” says another source. “Courteney is having a blast for a change.”

If this is true (why not?), then Courteney is an even bigger jackass than I thought. David has been a complete mess since their split, and although he tried to take it back later, I do think he’s probably had some kind of nervous breakdown. And she’s going to leave him alone on Christmas? Not even let him see his daughter? All because she wants to have some holiday dong in a warm climate. Ugh. Of course, my “that’s nasty” opinion could come from me not find Brian Van Holt attractive in the least. He seems like a dumb meathead who would taste like cheap beer and Funions.

Fame Pictures claims Courteney Cox and Brian Van Holt are “filming” in these photos. Do you see any cameras? I don’t. Granted, they’re probably on a break from filming Cougar Town, but I suspect that there’s another reason for these photos. First, Courteney has allegedly been boning Brian for months – tabloids were reporting their alleged affair months before Courteney and David Arquette announced their split. When Court & David actually split though, is up for grabs – and it’s totally possible that Cox and van Holt began having a sexual/romantic/emotional relationship AFTER Courteney and David had decided to try a trial separation. Of course, I’m of the opinion that Brian Van Holt is the reason for the trail separation in the first place. Arquette’s opinion? That Courteney and Brian had an “emotional affair”. Yeah… that’s what they were doing at a hotel. Having an emotional affair.

Even though Courteney seems to be publicly denying that she and David are going to divorce, I’ve been wondering for a while if Van Holt isn’t going to end up The New Ex Mr. Cox, you know? How would it look if Courteney began rolling out a new relationship? It would look like this. It would be comfortable-looking photos of two costars talking and bonding, and then in a few months, they walk a red carpet together… maybe for the Golden Globes? And then an brief interview, confirming that they are, in fact, dating. Et cetera.

By the by… this week, Star Magazine (via Jezebel) is reporting that “Courteney and David Arquette broke up because he was drinking too much; she got sick of seeing him sloshed. She won’t take him back unless he goes to rehab. This story is accompanied by three pictures of David drunk and partying; in two out of three images, little people are involved. In the third, David is carrying a bottle of champagne through the streets.” Honestly, I’m worried about David’s partying too, but I don’t think his partying was the CAUSE of the split with Cox, I think it was the RESULT of the split.

I hate to be bitch who says “I told you so” but I did call this one. The news comes from In Touch Weekly, though, so I’m not doing the “I told you so” smug-face quite yet. I’ll wait for People or Us Weekly to confirm it. Anyway, ITW says that Courteney Cox and David Arquette have split after 11 years of marriage. Their daughter Coco is 6 years old.

In Touch can exclusively reveal Courteney Cox and David Arquette have split. After 11 years of marriage, the Hollywood couple are parting ways.

It’s mostly sad news. It’s always sad when a couple who once seemed very solid falls apart. That being said, I think they’ve been falling apart for some time, and I also think Courteney was cheating on David with her CougarTown costar Brian Van Holt. We’ll see how this plays out.

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting their split too, claiming that they’ve been over for “several months” and that they’re still “friends.” Sure. People, Us Weekly and other sources are now chiming in too – this split is for real.

UPDATE #2: Life & Style reports that David is “moving on” already with a bartender, and they also have a statement from Cox and Arquette:

Life & Style can reveal exclusively that David Arquette is already moving on with another woman: bartender and actress Jasmine Waltz. “Jasmine and David have been hooking up recently,” a source close to David confirms to Life & Style.

This announcement comes just hours after news of Courteney Cox and David’s separation broke. The couple, who share a 6-year-old daughter, Coco, have been together since 1999. Earlier this summer, Courteney revealed that she and David had been attending couples therapy.

David’s new girl, Jasmine, is a serial Hollywood dater. The aspiring actress has been linked to everyone from Ryan Seacrest to Jesse McCartney. In her other job as a bartender, she’s worked at some of LA’s hottest spots, including nightclub Les Deux and Italian restaurant Bell. But Jasmine’s biggest claim to fame came this summer, when Lindsay Lohan accused her of punching her in the face while Lindsay was celebrating her birthday at Voyeur in LA.

Courteney and David have released the following statement to Life & Style:

“We have agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time. The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go through this process, we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together. We are comfortable with the boundaries that we have established for each other during this separation and we hope that our friends, family, fans and the media also show us respect, dignity, understanding and love at this time as well.

When reached by phone, Jasmine wouldn’t comment.

Holy crap! His girlfriend is the chick who maybe-probably punched Lohan in the face! Buy that girl a drink! Seriously, though – does anyone else think this “girlfriend” is David’s way of saving face because Courteney has been boning Van Holt? I do.

There have been rumors about Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt for months, although they reached a particularly well-saturated breaking point back in May, when Star Magazine claimed that Courteney and Brian were having private dinners all the time, that Courteney never wears her wedding ring, and that she and Brian are always flirting with each other, constantly. Courteney didn’t deny it (although Gossip Cop did some damage control), and neither did Brian. Now poor David Arquette has given an interview to People, talking about how strong his marriage is. I would believe him but… I’m too busy overanalyzing some of his statements. It really seems to me like he might be saying that Courteney is cheating but it’s okay with him… it’s strange:

David Arquette has to laugh at how rumors about supposed trouble in his marriage to Courteney Cox Arquette can spread – even to their group of friends.

“You know, it’s weird, because it turns up in the tabloids, and your friends start calling you like there’s a problem,” the actor, 38, told PEOPLE at an Operation Mend event at UCLA Monday, supporting the program that provides plastic surgery to severely injured Afghanistan and Iraq soldiers and veterans. “Like, they say, ‘If you need to talk,’ you know. Hey, we don’t need to talk. There’s nothing [wrong]. We have a really great, beautiful relationship.”

Not that it’s always totally smooth sailing. “Whenever things come up, we deal with them. We communicate,” he says. “I would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, you know what I mean. I’m committed, and we’re honest with each other … Relationships take a lot of work.”

Whatever they’re doing seems to be working. “We respect each other, care for each other and love each other,” Arquette says. “And I feel blessed that she’s my wife and that we have an amazing family.”

Arquette and his actress wife, 46, celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday – a day before their daughter Coco’s sixth birthday. How did they celebrate? “In the daytime we went to Disneyland, and in the evening we had a beautiful dinner,” Arquette says. “We ate exactly what we ate when we got married – steak and lobster.”

The couple are now looking forward to working together again, leaving next week for Ann Arbor, Mich., to shoot the latest Scream movie – a film series that has provided a backdrop to various milestones in their relationship.

“It’s nostalgic,” Arquette says. “We met on Scream 1, and on Scream 2 we were kind of on and off dating. And by Scream 3 we were married. And now on Scream 4 we have a child. It’s sort of an amazing marker throughout our lives.”

That one sentence is weird, right? “I would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, you know what I mean. I’m committed, and we’re honest with each other … Relationships take a lot of work.” But is SHE committed? As far as I know, there hasn’t been any big rumor about David screwing around on Courteney, so why is coming out and taking pains to say he’s “committed”? I know I’m reading too much into it. I feel like Eyes for Lies, only instead of body language, I’m reading what is unspoken. Anyway, whatever. I guess David is saying that if she’s cheating, it’s none of our business and they’ll work it out. Maybe. Or maybe David is about to get dumped for fresh meat to keep Courteney looking even… younger.

I remember this gossip from when it all began a few months ago. Someone got photos of Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt walking somewhere close to a motel or something. That’s pretty much the basis for Star Magazine’s “Oh, they’re totally f-cking” story. Brian and Courteney hang out together a lot even though Cougar Town has finished filming their season. Oh, and they had dinner together too. Alone. Okay… maybe they are f-cking.

Cougar Town costars Courteney Cox and Brian Van Holt have been spotted out together four times in less than four weeks since their sitcom wrapped in early April. And Courteney’s husband, David Arquette, was nowhere in sight!

Star has obtained an exlcusive photo of Courteney and Brian enjoying dinner at Malibu’s Coral Beach Cantina on May 7 without her husband of 10 years and their 5-year-old daughter, Coco.

“They were drinking beer and having chips and salsa in the back of the outdoor patio,” says an eyewitness at Coral Beach Cantina. “They looked like they were holding hands at the side of their table!”

Things got even more intimate when the two parted ways after dinner and Brian gave Courteney what appeared to be a kiss goodbye, says the eyewitness.

Pick up this week’s issue of Star to see our exclusive photo of Courteney and Brian dining out along with a timeline of their other rendezvous.

Would Courteney cheat on David Arquette? If you were married to him, would you? Although David seems like a total space cadet, he also seems like a sweetheart, and he and Courteney have weathered a lot together. But, of course, I never know what’s going on with her. She seems like a strange duck, and even though I might not understand her motives, I’ll admit it could be possible that she’s screwing around.
