Courtney Cox David Arquette Split: Bitter Arquette On Howard Stern

David Arquette

Courtney Cox and David Arquette has us coming down from the Chilean Miners Rescue just for a bit. The latest "Courtney Cox and David Arquette" news is that a bitter Arquette appeared on The Howard Stern Show to dish about his separation from his wife of 11 years, Ms. Cox. The two met on the set of the horror movie Scream and rose with the Scream sequels to become a well-known couple. But something went wrong.

Whatever it was, David Arquette didn't want the separation, he says. But apparently when they met 16 years ago, the "stuff" he did then, as he told Howard Stern, that made him attractive to Cox wore off. So, on their 11th anniversary, Courtney gave him a motorcycle and said "I don't want to be your mother anymore." In other words, Courtney Cox grew up and David Arquette did not, and by his own admission.

Arquette told Howard Stern "I do shit that makes her embarrassed sometimes. And when I met her 16 years ago that was charming, part of the aspect she fell in love with. [But] that stuff starts getting old."

After the couple stopped having sex, Arquette said he started to climb the "walls." So they got a legal separation "some time ago," and he went on to reclaim his sex life and the part of himself he thought he lost. David Arquette says he didn't like that Courtney Cox was "mothering" him and feeling like she had to take on everyone's problems.

(Here's news for David: that's what women do when they reach a certain age and have means.)

David Arquette wants Courtney Cox back

Howard Stern asked if they could still work things out. David Arquette said he wants to try and that the key for him would be a less controlled sex life. They have sex on a regular schedule, when they have sex. Arquette says they're still "tight" and he wants her back.

In closing, David Arquette and Courtney Cox are living in two homes - one his, the other theirs and he in the first, she in the last.  He told Stern he thinks everyone's full of shit in the media because it was reported that they're divorced (not here).  He said he doesn't have a girlfriend and had sex with someone because they looked like Courtney.
