David Arquette gets a tattoo at Lollapalooza while Hayden Panettiere looks on. He’s since deleted this photo from his Twitpic account
David Arquette threw a 21st birthday party for his friend and Scream 4 co-star, Hayden Panettiere, in Ann Arbor, Michigan where they’ve been filming the movie. Hollywood Life has the details including some of the attendees. Arquette’s wife, Courteney Cox, was not in attendance from what HL reports but I wouldn’t read too much into that. She may have just stayed back at the hotel with their daughter, Coco, or maybe she’s not currently filming in Michigan, it’s hard to tell. (She was there in late July as David tweeted two photos of them canoeing and having a picnic on the Huron River.) I also wouldn’t assume that there’s anything more than a friendly gesture for a co-worker behind Arquette’s motivations, although he must have gone to a lot of trouble to plan all that. What better excuse than someone’s 21st birthday? Here’s more from Hollywood Life:
If David Arquette ever gets sick of acting, he definitely has a future in event planning; the circus-themed birthday party he threw for his Scream 4 co-star Hayden Panettiere last Saturday at the Cavern Club in Ann Arbor, Michigan sounds amazing!
“It was easily the best party we have even thrown in the 13 years that I have been with the club,” Nick Easton, Cavern Club’s owner and manager, tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, adding that Courteney Cox’s 38-year-old husband planned everything – including renting out all of the venue’s four lounges – Cavern Club, Circus Bar, Millennium Club and Gotham City – for the bash.
For dinner, David, Hayden as well as cast members Neve Campbell and Emma Roberts noshed on family-style spaghetti & meatballs with chicken; the table was set up so that everyone could look at one another and chat easily. But the food didn’t end there — in addition to a 2/3 foot-tall cake with a dolphin-shaped top which Nick calls “the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten”, David brought in popcorn and cotton-candy making machines (FYI – the dolphin part of the cake was not eaten and is up for sale on Ebay!).
Oh, but there’s more! An animal trainer brought in a lemur so that everyone could take pictures with it before heading to a photo booth. There were 4000 balloons, a light show, tons of circus propped and 25 costumed pimps. Oompa Loompas performed – and there was even a fireworks display!
Most importantly, of course, was the alcohol. According to Nick, the celebration had a full open bar, and the former Heroes starlet did shots with her mom, Lesley Vogel, in celebration!”
“Everyone was in a GREAT mood – happy and drunk. There was no drama, just an all out awesome party,” Nick tells us, adding of the fete’s host, “David is the most down to earth and cool person I have ever met.”

I remember reading that David and Hayden got tattoos together and I thought “uh oh” at the time, but it didn’t really go down like that. Both of them visited a gifting suite at Lollapalooza where tattoos were being given for free. (Zoe Kravitz was there too, and here are some pictures) It’s not like they made a spontaneous decision to visit a tattoo parlor together. Still, they were both at Lollapalooza in Chicago, a full four hours drive from Ann Arbor. I’m sure there will be a few rumors spawned from that along with this elaborate party he threw her. (What’s more is that David tweeted a photo that included Hayden posing next to him, she’s in the purple cap as seen in these other photos, but then deleted it later as it’s no longer on his Twitpic.)
In related news, Arquette has co-founded a new website called Inmoo.com in which filmmakers can distribute movies and viewers can watch them for free. There are over 3,000 films on the site including shorts, previously released feature films, and new releases. He tells Variety that “We’re developing this site with all these kids who are the future of the world. It’s not a pay model at all in the future … there’s a way of harnessing advertising to pay.” I hope it’s a success for him as it sounds like a great idea. I also hope he’s just friends with Hayden and there’s nothing else going on there. I wouldn’t put it past Hayden, though, and we’ve heard for a while that David and Courteney are having trouble. Is Hayden still with her brick sh*thouse of a boyfriend, boxing great Wladimir Klitschko?
Mid-life crisis.
what a fucking ugly tattoo.
I’m stuck on the fact that she’s ONLY 21 because she looks much older.
LOL ewwwwwwwwww really bad mental picture of David and Hayden doing the horizontal monster mash (stole that from Futurama). Blah.
Seems like a big brother/little sister kind of gesture to me. Gestures don’t all have to have sexual meanings.
Guys and girls can be friends, it is possible.
Oh yuck. Even though her giant boyfriend is kind of weird, why on earth would she leave him for this middle aged doofus? This is a man who has NOT aged well; I can’t believe Courtney Cox is still with him- and no, middle aged men can’t “just be friends” with slutty 21 year old tramps.
@Marjalane: What makes Hayden a slutty tramp? Lots of anger for something pretty innocuous.
He seems like a good hearted, but very very immature man-child to me. I think there is something tragic about him, like a sad-eyed clown.
I have no idea what this is about, but a few months ago weren’t there rumours about CC and him having an open marraige? I think it is so weird that they lasted this long when it seems they are such different people. If Cox has a wild side she isn’t willing to show it at all to the public and David is a bonafide wackadoodle. But I find him likeable.
He’s so young (immature) at heart that throwing someone a 21st is probably his idea of the BEST time. I don’t see her being with him, honestly…but who knows, Courtney saw something in him as well. I just don’t. I mean he’s funny and cute in some way, and not a terrible actor, but as a husband? F*ck no.
This could be totally innocent, OR it could be a odd, birthday themed, clown-besotted midlife romp staged by an awkwardly tattooed man-child.
@wunderkindt: Add “with a thing for his cheerleading costar” to your “OR” and I think you have it pegged.
More troublesome is the fact that he was drinking. I thought he was supposed to be dry?
Sounds like an awesome party. My immediate thought (being the dork I am) is: does he have to get insurance (b/c of the open bar) for his guests in case they are dumb asses and drive? (I’m just too much of an adult). I know all the rumors surrouding all the players here. I trust David Arquette the most, and it is his party invitation I would most definately accept. Plus, the whole free pay film web site sounds very cool.
gah. david just so completely reeks of the guy who was so funny and so popular in middle school, but it’s been downhill all the way from there.
Some of the posters here really have to relax or unplug, or something. He threw a damn party! So the fuck what? He probably threw a 21st birthday party he never had or could afford to have when he was the turning 21. I think it’s a generous gift.
I think Hayden has found that hanging with married men gets her publicity and face it, nothing else she does is worth reporting.
First off, this sounds like a fuck awesome Birthday Party.
Hayden and David’s relationship sounds like a big brother/little sister one to me; I mean it was practically a kid-themed party (except for the booze)!
I think they hit it off working on this film together and he wanted to throw her a 21st B-Day party like no other.
Now if he’d flown her to Vegas and had some party at Pure nightclub or at one of those cabarets then I would be suspicious.
However, a party with a cake sporting a dolphin (which she loves and is very passionate about their well being) doesn’t scream ‘yeah, we’re doing each other’.
I agree is a big brother/little sister relationship. The same I have with a couple of guys older than me. Its like, they give you what they couldnt give to a younger sister or something.
Creepy move from an ugly dude.
Who would want him to throw them a party anyway? I’d have to find a graceful way out of that grossness and unless Hayden’s a has been or never was she should have pulled that move too.
they are totally fu@#$%g!!!!!! he is bored…common guys he need a new adventure…
What snarf said in the first and dead on post. Exactly what crossed my mind when I saw the tat.
Two words – open marriage! Hayden whatshername is annoying as hell anyway.
That tatoo is UgLY! If he is with her… Yuck. Yes, I’m judging. Yuck!
25 costumed pimps? really? I’m guessing that should maybe be chimps, but it’s so much more fun to envision it this way.
