Courteney Cox sends mixed signals to her lover & estranged husband

fp_6382143_coxcourteney_cocoxmaseve_fp6_12_14

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.”

[From E! News]

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.

    She looks horrible. Maybe.. just maybe she is having a hard time this christmas because it is the first christmas without her husband.

    No matter what, there is always ties to that person. Divorce is hard. (or extended seperation, whatever)

  2. lisa says:

    Coco seems to have her Father’s sense of humor.. She looks like Holly Hunter to me. could be her child.

    well I don’t know what is going on with her and David. If she is involved with the co-star then and not coming out it is a PR thing. Make David the patsy. Which he walked right into. But who knows. Just wait and in time the truth will come out. I do find it funny that she has said nothing. She has not attacked him just letting him hang himself. But I think JMO that she won’t because David has shown that he can be a talker and he actually has a platform to be heard from. HOWARD. so if she does anything to piss him off he may go off and spill a lot of beans.

    MAN how freaking funny would that be. They have a lot invested in each other. Divorce will split everything because I don’t think they have a pre-nup. Courteney could loose a lot. So that may be her ultimate motivation. She and David have a lot of business ties. Including that show Cougar Town.

    she’s starting to look like Janice Dickenson in the face.

  4. lucy2 says:

    If there’s no sign of them being anything besides friends…maybe they’re just friends?
    The whole situation seems pretty sad, and it’s unfortunate that David has been so public about everything, considering they have a daughter.

  5. N.D. says:

    actually she did said a few words after David went hugely public about their separation and his own way of coping
    (http://www.celebitchy.com/124177/courteney_cox_on_david_arquette_split_this_is_not_like_were_getting_divorced/). But I think she was forced (by David’s behaviour), otherwise she’s rather keep it private, which in my opinion is the right way to go about separation if there is even the smallest hope of it not ending in divorce.

  6. Dana M says:

    Maybe that’s not her wedding band… Perhaps a Christmas gift or just another ring.

  7. Ja says:

    I feel for her, I would be mortified if such crap happened to me. I wish that wast-of-space husband of hers just disappears. What an embarrassment he is! She deserves better.

  8. Sami says:

    Seems she is as manipulative as Jen….

  9. aenflex says:

    Needs to quit getting cheeks filled with fat. Looks like shite~

  10. TeeTee says:

    smdh, she is gonna mess her face up–its coming smdh…

  11. guesty says:

    she does look bad.

  12. mln76 says:

    It’s pretty obvious that there’s been some sort of an affair going on with Brian since the spring and Courtney is biding her time to come out with it. And all those minivans that are so “outraged” at what happened in the Pitt/Aniston divorce will firmly side with Cox and her new man.
    As for her face it’s a shame because she is a naturally pretty girl.

  13. Lucy says:

    OMG! She is starting to look like Janice Dickenson. Thats too bad, she used to be sooo pretty.

  14. Vanessa says:

    Janice Dickinson and the octomom…too bad, she used to be so very pretty

  15. Jayna says:

    She looks very pretty, to me. Not too many 40ish women can handle paparazzi inopportune closeups and caught unawares and look that good. Just sayin….

  16. REALIST says:

    Well, there are couples who actually try to work it out for the sake of the kid(s). Coco is a cutie…

  17. OtherChris says:

    If she’s doing something to her face, she should stop now because she doesn’t look scary–yet. Did people used to just get more subtle surgery, because I know there are some actresses of my mom’s era who have aged gracefully (with the help of their surgeon’s scalpel) and don’t look like that. What are they doing to their faces now?

  18. N.D. says:

    She’s aging, that’s it. It’s a huge luck when aging allows you to still look beautiful inspite of wrinkles and all. Most people lose their looks when they age because their skin and muscules sag, age pigments appear everywhere, nose becomes bigger, superior eyelids become saggy, pouches under his eyes become permanent, lips become dry and smaller, wrinkles spread everywhere and so on an on. Considering she’s closer to 50 now there is no need for her to do any cosmetic procedures to ruin her looks, time does the job just fine.

  19. Anon says:

    Good grief – selective reporting much? The only thing we have to go on to believe anything happened or is maybe still happening with Courteney and her co-star is tabloid reports. Does anyone honestly believe that they have been lucky enough to keep a relationship on the down low for all this time, never having been snapped together, etc.? Even that E! story of their private work party could not be more PG – if they were going to feel comfortable anywhere, wouldn’t it be there?

    Courteney has spoken about the split on a couple of occasions, even standing up for David after he was criticised for talking to Stern, saying that it was simply his personality. And this is not the first time she has been caught with her wedding ring on in months. Aside from a ringless snap of her immediately after the split announcement, she has been caught several times with the ring and has been clear that this is a separation and not a divorce.

    She, David and Coco spent Halloween together, and David has spoken about them sharing dinners regularly as well. Why on earth would anyone think she was suddenly going to keep his daughter from him for Christmas? Her rep tried to shoot down these tabloid reports that she was traveling over the holidays, and no one would believe it, yet here we have snaps of her in LA on Christmas Eve – proving the tabloids wrong once again.

    Meanwhile David can moan all he wants about wanting to be back with his wife – it doesn’t change that his actions say otherwise. He is the one that was snapped earlier this week out clubbing and partying with other women. If he really wants his family back he would keep quiet, grow up and work on himself.

    both idiots, how old are they – acting out like teenagers, no class at all for their old age

  21. Whatever says:

    Her face is looking jacked lately. Why, why, why do pretty women feel the need to f-ck their faces up?? It NEVER makes them look better. They always end up looking like they are wearing plastic halloween masks to me!

  22. mln76 says:

    @Anon they were pictured together back in the spring she without her wedding ring
    http://www.celebitchy.com/101876/is_courteney_cox_having_an_affair_with_her_cougar_town_costar/

  23. Anon says:

    @mln76: in the first of the pics at that link they are at the Golden Globes – which she attended with her hubby. She and Arquette did interviews and attended after parties together as per multiple gossip reports, video and pictures, so either they were BOTH manipulating press at the time, or nothing was up and she simply chose to not wear the ring with her outfit (that was January and they did not split until June). They would have been seated with her co-stars as per Globes tradition, so a pic with BVH is no proof of anything.

    And you obviously do not watch her show since the other pics at the link were taken on set – they are both in wardrobe for a scene from the show. Some outlets mislabeled or confused these pics given a tab report at the time, but they are on set.

    What I’m pointing out is merely that I have no idea whether she and BVH are together or not – nor does anyone else. There are no off-set pics of them together at all. There are no reports of them (aside from a couple of tabloid stories late last spring) of them spending time together outside of work or work functions. And even her own estranged husband has said they are not together. My point is simply that I would be shocked that she would be able to keep a budding relationship under wraps given that there is interest in their split story, and paps have followed them to get pictures. Not to mention, it is out in the open who her alleged guy is – it’s not like the paps or tabs would have to speculate, they know exactly who to follow and seek info on, and yet there is nothing. For all I know she is with him, I just think without actual proof, it’s more than a little hypocritical to think of her as some cold, calculating PR master, yet David is to be pitied despite overwhelming proof that his actions and words do not match and he carries more than his share of the blame here as well. Can we at least wait for a smoking gun before placing all the blame on her? I’ll be the first one to be disappointed if it comes out she did have an affair, but for now there is simply no proof.

  24. N.D. says:

    @mln76 They were SAID having a dinner and while there were mentions of possible handholding and good-buy kissing in the accompanying write-up there were no pics of any of that.

    So even if they do hang out together once in a while, couldn’t they be just good friends and colleges? I think they could.

    Otherwise, what’s a point in staying married for Courtney? Money? I doubt David would make huge troubles for her in that department.

  25. mln76 says:

    Sure they could be friends and colleagues, I love how much leeway this woman is getting. Time will tell.

  26. Just a Poster says:

    Sometimes marriages just end. And no matter how much work you put into it, it just sometimes ends.

    Even if she was the one who wanted out, it doesn’t make it easier, and you are still heartbroken and sad.

    And it is very apparent that David is on a crash and burn path right now, and hopefully he will right himself again.

    I am not declaring team whoever.. I will wait for the chips to fall and then we will find out what really went down.

  27. bubbles says:

    that kid looks like a toothless old lady. 🙁

  28. JenJen says:

    Bubbles, I second that, what an odd looking child.

  29. Nibbi says:

    y’all are mean. i think her face looks fine- a little soft, still pretty. she just looks really sad and drawn to me; nothing screams “plastic” quite yet.

  30. flourpot says:

    Quit making comments about the way children look. They all go thru awkward stages. Jeez, how freakin mean can you be? Kids are off limits. They’re supposed to be innocents, remember? Jerks.

  31. Whatever says:

    I agree that the kid bashing is obnoxious. To all those doing it: please post pictures of your children or yourselves, so we can comment on your family’s looks. I’m sure someone here will think your child is ugly. Seriously though, it really is mean and totally uncalled for.

  32. mln76 says:

    Kid bashing is foul no matter what you may think of the parents. Whoever does it shows how petty, and unhappy they are as human beings.

  33. Cleo says:

    Meh. My husband doesn’t wear his wedding ring November through March. Some people might think it’s a harbinger of a decaying romance which makes me giggle. When it gets colder, his fingers shrink and he’s almost lost it twice. It means a lot to him so he just puts it away during the colder months. We’ve talked about getting him another one that’s smaller for winter but it just hasn’t been a huge priority.

  34. fwozbo says:

    The kid is cute, she is just making a clenched running face.

  35. truthzbetta says:

    Holy crap. I thought Janice Dickenson knife fought Meg Ryan for her mouth.

    She was drop dead gorgeous two weeks ago! Why is the new trend going full throttle on bad surgery/body alterations during the divorce the new Hollyweird thing? Many women look fantastic after the divorce, Puffy McPlastic over there is gonna make David thank his lucky stars.

  36. the original bellaluna says:

    She does NOT look good! Circles under the eyes, gaunt. NOT a good look.
