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.”

[From People]

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.

Courteney Cox actually has an interesting life. She has a kid, she has an interesting marriage to fellow oddball actor David Arquette, she has a television career with fan favorite Cougar Town, she has varied interests in charities and real estate and most recently, Courteney got some press because of allegations she was cheating on her husband with her Cougar Town costar, Brian Van Holt. So basically, a journalist sitting down to interview Courteney should have more to talk about than f-cking Friends. But no, when the Los Angeles Times reporter sat down with Cox, it was like it was 2002 all over again. Oh, my, you mean they always eat the same salad every day?!?

Courteney Cox admits to being a little bit jealous of the girls from “Sex and the City” and their leap to the big screen.

“I wish we could do that with ‘Friends,’” Cox says. “The thing is, the characters from ‘Sex and the City’ hopped all over Manhattan. On ‘Friends,’ we were always stuck in the apartment and that coffeehouse.”

Nevertheless, Cox says “Friends” castmate Jennifer Aniston has a great idea for a movie that would reunite the members of the long-running NBC sitcom. And, judging from her enthusiasm, Cox would clearly love to make such a movie happen, if only to enjoy working with everyone again. But she’s not getting her hopes up.

“I don’t think it’s going to happen,” she says, tamping down expectations, including her own. “Would [series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman] want to write it? Because they’d have to be involved. I don’t know … a lot of things would have to break just right for it to work. But we’ve daydreamed about it.”

And while we’re on the subject of “Friends”— and it’s a topic Cox takes to with hearty enthusiasm — here are a few of her favorite things about her decade on the show:

Favorite ritual: “Jennifer and Lisa [Kudrow] and I ate lunch together every single day for 10 years. And we always had the same thing — a Cobb salad. But it wasn’t really a Cobb salad. It was a Cobb salad that Jennifer doctored up with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans and I don’t know what. She just has a way with food, which really helps. Because if you’re going to eat the same salad every day for 10 years, it’d better be a good salad, right?”

Favorite scene: “Off the top of my head, I’d say when Monica proposed to Chandler. There’s like 10,000 candles lit in the apartment and she gets down on one knee and starts sobbing. ‘There’s a reason why girls don’t do this!’ That was a big scene to me, playing the heavy emotion of that.”

Favorite part of Monica: “I loved any time she got super-competitive. The New Year’s Rockin’ Eve dance. The Thanksgiving touch football game with Ross. Fat Monica too. God, playing Fat Monica was so freeing! I remember being in [Fat Monica] makeup one time waiting for the other cast members to come out, and [director] Kevin Bright put on ‘Shake Your Groove Thing’ and I just grabbed a doughnut and started dancing like crazy in front of the audience. I could do anything because I was hidden under all that prosthetic makeup.”

[From The LA Times]

Yes, I cried when Monica proposed, I’ll admit it. When was it? A decade ago? Right. It was good television, a very simple, enjoyable show that lots of people could sit down and watch and laugh. Now, let’s move on. I guess the interview was just about whether there was ever going to be a Friends movie? Considering how badly the Sex and the City franchise transitioned to film, I really hope everybody moves on. I just don’t want to see an R-rated Ross-and-Rachel sex scene. Ugh.

Last night was the big Crystal + Lucy Awards ceremony in LA. The awards generally celebrate women in film and television, and last night the honorees were people like Zoe Saldana (“Face of the Future” award), Eva Marie Saint (Legacy Series Spotlight tribute) and Courteney Cox (an award for excellence in television). Jennifer Aniston “surprised” everyone by showing up to support Courteney. I guess Jennifer didn’t RSVP? Who knows. At first I thought Courteney didn’t look too thrilled to see Aniston, considering Cox is making grumpy faces in most of the photos. But I don’t think her face will move beyond that expression, honestly. Her face has gotten to the point where I barely recognize her as the once-gorgeous young television actress – she could be Janice Dickinson’s more-Botoxed sister at this point. Jennifer looks pretty though.

Anyway, I only care about the fashion. My guess is that the dress code is supposed to be business-cocktail, and most people pretty much adhered to that. Here’s Emily Blunt in an interesting black dress… I don’t care for her makeup job though:

Zoe was one the few girls wearing white, so she stood out. The dress isn’t bad or anything, I just wish she (and her stylist Rachel Zoe) would change it up a little with the big collars, big shirts, big, big, big. Why not go streamlined for one appearance?

Busy Phillips looks like hell. That is one unflattering dress:

Rachel Griffiths: great actress, hideous dresser. She kept it low-key in black, though. Meh. At least it wasn’t pink ruffles, like that one time at the Golden Globes.

Leslie Mann and her husband Judd Apatow. I think Leslie is so pretty, but… eh. It’s mostly the weird hair that ruins it for me for this appearance:

Debra Messing’s shoes don’t fit. Other than that, meh.

I thought Laura Dern was Darryl Hannah. That’s not a good thing.

My Lord, Sally Field just looks a million times better than many of the ladies half (or even a third) of her age. I love her suit.

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.

[From Star Magazine]

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.

I’ve tried to watch ABC’s Cougar Town starring Courteney Cox and have found it over the top and annoying. Some people like it, and that’s cool, it’s just not funny to me. It seems like they’re trying too hard and the dialogue almost always seems contrived. (I’ve only seen two episodes, but I just tried to watch some clips on ABC’s website and came to the same conclusion.) The show is popular with viewers and has already been picked up for a second season. Anyway the creator of Cougar Town says that they’re considering renaming the show, which will air its finale for the first season next week. He says the title isn’t really accurate as the show isn’t primarily about older women macking on young guys, and that people are turned off by it. It’s always a great idea to rename a popular show based on what a few focus groups say they’d like to see, without actually having seen it.

Fans of Cougar Town may have to re-set their DVRs soon.

The show’s co-creator Bill Lawrence is hoping to change the ABC comedy’s title for the next season since it has evolved into an ensemble show rather than one that only focuses on Courteney Cox‘s character, Jules Cobb.

“You would be hard-pressed to watch the last three episodes of the show and asked anyone for titles I doubt anyone would say ‘Cougar Town,’ ” Lawrence tells HitFix.com.

But there’s another reason why he’s hoping for the name makeover: Attracting people who normally wouldn’t watch a show with the existing title. “Partly as a result of common sense and partly from [the studio's] research, they find too many instances of testing of people saying they would never watch a show called Cougar Town — ‘I don’t want to see some show about a 40-year-old woman nailing younger guys,’ ” says Lawrence. “And then they screen an episode, and people go, ‘Oh, I would watch this show.’ “

So what title does he have in mind? Lawrence says he constantly jokes the show should be called Friends and Neighbors with the ‘Friends‘ written in the same font as Cox’s old show. But he doesn’t “want to put [ideas] out there yet.

[From People]

I shouldn’t care if they rename Cougar Town and lose whatever momentum they have going, but it’s asinine to rename a hit show after its first season. This could spell doom for the show, which already has a well established brand and fan base. They could lose viewers who don’t know about the new name. Still, “Cougar” does have negative connotations that producers no longer want to be associated with. What could they change the title to? It seems cheap to try and capitalize on Courtney’s popular 90s show Friends with a name change to Friends and Neighbors this late in the game. The Family Jules, one of the titles suggested in a poll on People.com, is just as bawdy as Cougar Town. Overall it seems like a bad idea to switch titles at this point. They have a known title and a hit show and shouldn’t mess with it.

A couple of weeks ago, Star Magazine began pushing the rumor that Courteney Cox was pregnant. The proof seemed to be that Courteney was looking a little “filled out” on the Golden Globe red carpet, as opposed to her usual figure, which generally borders on the “very, very slender”. Personally, I thought Courteney had her boobs done, but in general she’s seemed to have put on some much-needed weight, so maybe she just gains weight in her boobs. CB didn’t really think a pregnancy was happening, but she did point out that Courteney has spoken before about her desire to her have another child – she and David are parents to daughter Coco, who is 5 years old. Now David Arquette has sort-of spilled the beans that he and Courteney are considering adoption:

Could Coco Arquette have a little bro or sis sometime soon?

David Arquette says he and wife Courteney Cox are considering expanding their family.

“I don’t know. I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so maybe adoption,” Arquette, 38, said on The Bonnie Hunt Show. Cox, 45, underwent in-vitro fertilization to have Coco at age 39.

Added Arquette, “Listen, I like practicing as much as possible! But it’s hard… I’m exhausted!”

Late last year, the National Enquirer reported the couple were in the process of adopting, which her rep called “a complete fabrication” at the time.

Meanwhile, daughter Coco is growing up to be just like her mom, Arquette beams.

“She’s a little messy so that’s sort of on my side, but she’s very strong-willed which is very Courteney-like,” he says.

“We got her a flute recently and she is just walking around [pretending to play],” he adds. “We’re jammin’ a lot, a little Jethro Tull.”

[From Us Weekly]

I think it would be great if Courteney and David adopted. To my way of thinking, Courteney already put her body through a lot when she carried Coco, and at the age of 45, it would only be harder if she and David tried to have another biological child. I think Courteney and David seem like very good parents, and they’re probably ideal candidates for adoption. I hope they seriously consider this!

Jennifer Aniston decided to bring some of her closest friends down to Mexico to celebrate her 41st birthday a little early. Her birthday is this coming Thursday, and Aniston spent the weekend sunbathing and hanging out with her friends in Los Cabos, Mexico, which is probably her favorite vacation spot. Her friends, like Courteney Cox and Sheryl Crow, were sunbathing too, but for this visit, Aniston added someone new to the group – Gerard Butler! Unfortunately, the photo agencies we have access to don’t have any photos of Gerard hanging out in particular with Aniston, we only have a couple of Gerard solo (below), but The Daily Mail has some good ones here. Gerard is playing around with binoculars, he’s wearing baby-blue swim trunks, and he looks like he lost some weight since we last saw him on a beach – the now-infamous “Crazy Gut and Moobs” incident.

She’s certainly a creature of habit – and why change a good thing?

Jennifer Aniston headed to one of her favorite getaway spots, Los Cabos, Mexico, where the actress is getting a jump start celebrating her 41st birthday – Aniston’s big day is actually Feb. 11 – with a group of friends. But this year, she had a surprise birthday guest: Gerard Butler, her costar in the upcoming comedy, The Bounty Hunter. Last month, the two were spotted laughing and spending a lot of time together at the Golden Globes.

Aniston flew a large group of pals including Butler, Courteney Cox, her husband David Arquette and Sheryl Crow, whose birthday is also Feb. 11, to the One & Only Palmilla resort Thursday evening where the group is staying in a beautiful waterfront villa.

Friday, there was one thing on the agenda: fun in the sun! Aniston showed off her famously fabulous figure in a bikini as the pals lounged on the patio.

[From People]

My only quibble is that I dislike this movement (and Aniston is not alone) of girls who do the mismatched bikini bottoms and tops. To me, it looks sloppy, but it could totally be that Aniston just picked out her most comfortable bottom and her most comfortable top, and they happened to be mismatched.

So, is it true love for Gerard and Jennifer? Since all of the “are they dating?” stuff at the Golden Globes, Gerard has gone to dinner with Jessica Simpson, been associated with Reese Witherspoon in the tabloids, and has had a public makeout session with some random violin player in Santa Monica. So… yeah. Butler and Aniston might be getting it on. They might be friends with benefits. I wouldn’t be surprised, and I actually think it’s likely. But I just doubt it’s a real dating relationship. My boyfriend is a slut.

Everyone has been up in arms about last week’s NY Times Blog insinuating that several Hollywood actresses once known for being waifs have – gasp – “put on a little weight.” That list, according the blog, included not only Jennifer Aniston but her BFF and “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox. Cox’s husband, David Arquette, was asked about this and didn’t seem upset about the weight gain allegations – but instead, he felt that writing an entire article devoted to the body image of actresses was a “waste of space” and mean-spirited.

A New York Times fashion blogger outraged readers last week after alleging that Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Kate Hudson have “put on a little weight” at the Golden Globe awards. But while fans raised eyebrows at the bold criticism, one person who was less downright angry was Cox’s husband, David Arquette. In fact, he thought that even discussing it was a waste of time, and that the blog had nothing to do with anything. I so agree.

The actor voiced his disgust to Tarts at the opening of the “Pee Wee Herman Show” in Los Angeles Wednesday. “I don’t think that has anything to do with anything. Writing articles about people that put on weight is just wasting space for real news,” Arquette said. “And who really cares? I love round people, I love skinny people. I love people in general; we’ve got to get past labels and stop being so critical about everything. On the Internet, people find that place and think they can just speak their mind, but a lot of the time you see how mean people are. In general, we just need to be a kinder society.”

[From Fox News]

If this NY Times blogger, Andy Port, was looking to get noticed, mission accomplished. I thought David Arquette’s response was very gracious, and he does bring up a great point. This blogger was supposed to be covering the fashion at the Golden Globes. Instead, she went on a rant that dissed the body sizes of women in attendance. But then again, another NY Times blogger covering the event also took a swipe at actor Michael C. Hall for wearing a skullcap to cover his hair loss after recovering from chemotherapy. So that gives you an idea of the intellect here. I know the NY Times is a sinking ship that is desperate for readership, but is this really the way to go about it? By joining the mean, ignorant, “Perez Hilton” school of blogging?

Jesus, what the hell is going on over at the New York Times’ blog sites? The bitches over there are going completely crazy! I’m not joking either. In the past 48 hours, NYT bloggers have referred made snide reference to Christina Hendricks being a “big girl”, saying that Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox have “put on a little weight” and then, the pièce de résistance, some motherf-cking douchebag attempted to take Michael C. Hall to task for wearing a knit skullcap to cover his head since he’s been battling cancer, for God’s sake. Bitches.

First, the Christina Hendricks thing. To be slightly fair to NYT blogger Cathy Horyn, she wasn’t the one to originally say, regarding Christina Hendricks at the Golden Globes, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.” No, Horyn just quoted some “stylist”. But Horyn’s inclusion of that quote – and her agreement with it – makes her a bitch. Yes, Christina’s dress was less than fabulous. But it wasn’t a question of a “big girl” in a “big dress”. Sometimes it’s just a bad dress. Oh, and add to that this little ill-timed quirk of the NYT’s photo editing: in the original online piece, Gothamist notes that NYT published this distorted photo of Hendricks… it‘s below, on the left, and the unaltered photo is on the right. The distorted photo was taken down after a few hours.

Ugh. Now, the Cox-Aniston-Hudson thing. NYT blogger Andy Port (a woman) wrote this below a photo montage of Cox, Hudson and Aniston:

Maybe it’s just me, but I could have sworn that some of the ladies who showed up at the Golden Globes on Sunday had put on a little weight. It’s almost criminal to name names, because the very actresses whose body-mass indexes have been the subject of endless tabloid speculation are the very ones now sporting sexier curves. You could definitely see the difference if you concentrated solely on the upper arms. Instead of a Barbie-doll circumference, there was suddenly, amazingly, a womanly roundness to their frames. More Marilyn than Twiggy, that’s for sure.

[From The New York Times]

You know what I thought when I saw Courteney Cox (photo below)? I thought “Jesus, that woman needs to stop messing with her beautiful face, she looks like a wax figure and oh look she just got her boobs done.” When Courteney hears that one person thinks she looks like she’s “put on a little weight” Courteney will need to schedule an emergency session with her plastic surgeon trainer. As for Aniston and Kate… just stop it. Their bodies are fine. Just shut up, bitches.

Oh, the last one. This was some blogger at the NYT blog The Moment. The guy (or girl, who cares) was apparently tweeting as celebrities showed up, and the blogger wrote about Michael C. Hall “Is Michael C. Hall playing Bob Marley in an upcoming movie. Don’t get the hat or what he is hiding under it.” Shut up. I hate you.

A blogger for the New York Times apparently didn’t get the memo that Dexter star Michael C. Hall is battling cancer.

As first noticed at PerezHilton, on Sunday, the Times’ style blog the Moment made a surprising Twitter comment about the knit skull cap Hall wore at the Golden Globes.

“Is Michael C. Hall playing Bob Marley in an upcoming movie?” the Tweet snapped. “Don’t get the hat or what he is hiding under it.”

In fact, Hall, 38, disclosed Jan. 13 that he is being successfully treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which he called a “treatable and curable condition.” His spokesperson told UsMagazine.com that the cancer is in “complete remission.”

The “Moment” blogger eventually realized the unfortunate oversight with a red-faced Tweet: “So sorry that Michael C. Hall has had cancer. Thanks for clarifying why he is wearing a knitted skull cap.”

When the actor won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television drama, he joked about his Japanese hat (covering up hair loss that is often the byproduct of cancer treatment), “it is nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing!” The accessory itself, he said, was “pretty simple but maybe a little fancier than your normal thing.”

[From Us Weekly]

Okay, even if you’re somehow a fashion/entertainment/celebrity blogger who has somehow missed the news that Michael C. Hall is in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma – which Hall himself announced days before the Golden Globes – how could anyone look at him (photo below) and think “Why is that idiot wearing a skullcap?” Hall looked obviously ill at the Globes. Like, he’s fighting for his life and he’s lost weight and his color isn’t that great. So, beyond the skullcap signifier (and the fact that an entertainment blogger should actually follow entertainment news), there was plenty of visual evidence that Hall wasn’t at his healthiest. Sure, I’m glad this blogger apologized. But the guy’s still a douchebag.

Courteney Cox has spent her post-Friends years working on either horrible star-vehicles (like the craptastic Dirt) or as a guest star on a dying series (Scrubs). So, it’s pretty great that her new star vehicle Cougar Town is working out, right? She seems to have a hit show, although both CB and I have seen parts of episodes here and there, and we really don’t think it’s anything special. Honestly, I couldn’t stop wincing when I watched five solid minutes. I think the dialogue aims for light-hearted and silly, but everything, from the actors’ comedic timing, to the situations, to the general atmosphere, just kinds of falls flat. I actually think Cox used to be a gifted character actress – and if this is the star vehicle that works for her, God bless. But I think she could do better.

But having a hit show isn’t the only concern anymore – because if the people who work with Cox don’t enjoy basking in her presence, the show will falter and fail. Which might be happening, according to the Enquirer. Their sources are claiming that Cox is a total control freak, and the cast and crew are on the precipice of revolt:

Courteney Cox is such a control freak on the set of “Cougar Town” that crew members are asking to be switched to other shows.

“Courteney makes a huge number of script changes to make her character look good, and she is extremely picky about everything on the show,” a set employee claims.

Workers on the set try to avoid her by using their hand-held radios to warn one another if she’s in the area.

“Her code names are ‘Mother Hen’ or ‘Cougar Queen’… that seems like all we hear all day. ‘Mother Hen needs a pick-up’ or ‘Cougar Queen is on her way to makeup’… everyone jokes that it’s her way or the highway.”

One woman in craft services felt Courteney’s wratch after she made the star a ham and cheese sandwich that didn’t measure up.

“Courteney ranted at her and said, ‘Everyone knows you are supposed to have equal parts of ham and cheese in a sandwich!’”

A wardrobe worker was terrorized by Courteney when the actress exploded at her for not having five clothing options for her for a scene that was added at the last minute, said the on-set eyewitness. The wardrobe employee had offered only three.

“Courteney got so mad and told her she would be back in 10 minutes saying, ‘If yo don’t have what I requested, you’d better not show up next time!’”

Those on the set speculate that the success of Cougar Town has gone to Cox’s head. “Courteney is the star of the show and very domineering… she gives off this ‘I’m important and you’re not’ vibe.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 23, 2009]

I believe some of this. I know that Courteney has a reputation as a control freak, even back years and years ago. She’s very organized, very methodical, very tough on herself and everyone else. She’s even admitted that about herself, about the standards she’s set for herself, and for other people. I’d imagine that she’s a really, really difficult woman to live with, but that kind of organization might come in handy for a television show. I’m not sure if I believe the part about her berating the crew, though. I’ve read that she’s not the most pleasant person, but I’ve never heard of her being that aggressive or cruel. If it is true, she should take a chill pill. She’s starring in Cougar Town, for the love of God. If one little thing goes wrong, it’s not like anyone would even notice with all of the other sh-t going wrong on that mess of a show.
