David Arquette apparently has a crush on singer Jessie J, who it has emerged, has a crush on his estranged wife Courteney Cox.

The actor told Howard Stern that he’s got the hots for the singer, but the Brit singer said at last week’s Vanity Fair-sponsored opening party for the Guess Fifth Ave. flagship store, that she much preferred Courteney Cox – and had even told her so.

Turns out Cox and Jessie had met at the Jimmy Kimmel show that night, soon after Arquette made his comments.

“I said to her, ‘If it means anything, I’d much rather date you than him,'” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

Cox, for her part, told the singer that she’d downloaded her album and was a fan.
