Courteney: Yes, David Hit on Me at Disney World

Thursday, Apr 14, 2011

Despite their problems, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are getting along great these days. But the actress isn’t letting things go too far in the romance department.

The actress, 46, admitted to David Letterman Wednesday on CBS’s The Late Show that her estranged husband, 39, got a little frisky on their recent trip to Disney World with their daughter Coco.

“He did try to hit on me, yeah,” she said. “He hit pretty hard, and I said, ‘You know, you don’t have the Fast Pass right now. Not to that ride!’ ”

She then joked that Disney policy was to “put us in separate rooms.”
The Cougar Town star, who worked with her husband on the newly released Scream 4, says that oddly enough, the pair are “kind of the best we’ve ever been,” because they’ve had to be so honest with each other.

She said she recently told Arquette that he’ll probably find “somebody named Tiffany or Britney,” and joked that they’ll need her help with the housework.

“I was by his house the other day,” she said, “and I saw that everything is looking the way he would like it to look, as opposed to the way I would like it to look. And I just said, ‘Look, when you end up with one of those girls, if we don’t make it, can I come over and just organize the drawers a little bit? Just keep it the way it was?’ ”

On a more serious note, she said Arquette is “over 100 days sober. He’s doing great.”

As for their future together, she added: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I really don’t. I’m sure this decision needs to be made at some point, but we’re getting along so well that I hate to rock the boat. I really do.”

Courteney Cox Weighs in on the ‘Cougar Town’ Finale

Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011

I’ve spent many a Wednesday night fantasizing about becoming an honorary member of a certain dysfunctional, boozy and all-around awesome cul-de-sac crew.
So when I sat down with Courteney Cox at the ‘Scream 4’ junket on behalf of our sister site, Moviefone — check out that chat here — I couldn’t resist slipping in a few ‘Cougar Town’ questions to quench fans’ thirst before the show returns from its distressingly long hiatus next week.

Cox was happy to confirm that Bobby (Brian Van Holt) and Laurie (Busy Philipps) are indeed going to start selling Penny Cans when the show returns on Monday, April 18. For fans who want to enjoy the authentic Penny Can experience from the comfort of their own cul-de-sac, it’s worth noting that the phone number that will appear on-screen in the episode is a working line that will connect them to a cast or crew member to take their order, so that you, too, can enjoy the world’s ultimate time-wasting activity (preferably with a penny in one hand and Big Carl in the other).

“It’s a really good business, I think — I mean, who doesn’t want a cleaned out paint can?” Cox deadpanned. “If you had to buy paint and put the paint someplace, you can’t just throw it down the sink, so I say buy a Penny Can; give back. I don’t actually know what’s going to happen to that money, but give back.”

Few sitcoms get to travel to exotic locations for the sake of filming, especially when a studio backlot will do, but following in the footsteps of their Wednesday night brethren, ‘Modern Family,’ Cox and co. did score a free trip to Hawaii in order to shoot the super-sized season finale.

“We go to Hawaii because …” Cox paused, considering whether or not to censor herself before she spilled the beans. “I mean, it’s not like ‘Scream’ where people care about the ending as much, but my son [Travis (Dan Byrd)] goes to Hawaii because he’s devastated — he’s heartbroken by his girl. So, I’m there to try to get him to get his life back on track, like, ‘don’t quit college.’ And at the same time, there’s a whole baby issue going on between me and my boyfriend, Grayson [Josh Hopkins]. So somebody wants kids, somebody doesn’t, it’s too much … You’ll have to figure it out. But it was great, it was really fun to go over there.”

It seems as though the television gods have smiled upon us after 10 weeks bereft of ‘Cougar Town,’ since next week’s return sees not just one but two episodes of the ABC sitcom — the first at 9.30PM ET on April 18, the second in its regular 9.30PM ET timeslot on Wed., April 20, when Cox’s Jules and Hopkins’ Grayson are roped into babysitting the oft-absent Stan for Ellie (Christa Miller), and Laurie hops back into the dating pool after her break-up with Smith, boasting a very unorthodox wingman in Andy (Ian Gomez).

What do you think Jules and Grayson’s baby drama will mean for our happy couple? Will you be ordering an official Penny Can? Don’t miss the return of ‘Cougar Town’ next Monday and Wednesday on ABC.

US Weekly: Scream 4 Review

Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011

Opens: Friday 4/15

Us Rating: ***

“I still got it!” Courteney Cox proclaims in this “screamake” of the popular ’90s slasher series. And she does! The sitcom star is the main attraction as Gale, aggressive ex-newswoman, bored wife of plodding sheriff Dewey (a comically sad-sack David Arquette) and bestselling chronicler of those gruesome Woodsboro massacres. On the anniversary of the slayings, victim turned self-help author Sidney (a sharp Neve Campbell) returns to the scene of the crime for a book signing.

She reunites with her cousin (Emma Roberts) — one of an entirely new generation of quick-witted potential targets. As nemesis Ghostface shishkebabs cops, teens and bystanders in rapid succession, Sidney must reboot her inner survivor and overcome her why-me-again self pity. The series was once considered cutting-edge: ironic about horror-movie conventions yet jump-in-your-seat scary. The only nod to the passage of time seems to be the addition of texts, tweets and webcams. But the entertaining Scream formula still works: When there’s a big shiny knife, the action never gets dull.

Courteney Talks To Extra at Premiere of Scream 4

Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011

“Extra” correspondent Jerry Penacoli caught up with actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette at the premiere of their film “Scream 4” — and as they both posed for pictures, they seemed happy to be joking around. Could this mean they may get back together?

“I don’t know. We’re not divorced,” Cox said. “We couldn’t be in a better place. It’s better than before we were separated because we’re getting to know each other in a different way.”

“That’s all to be determined,” Arquette told Penacoli separately. “It just has to be right for us both and if it is we’ll be together and if it’s not we’ll be apart, but we’ll be good to each other.”

Arquette was also celebrating 100 days of sobriety. “I don’t drink anymore and I’m cool with that. I love that. I love the clarity that I have now. I love the groundedness I feel.”

David and Courteney : “We Love Each Other With All Our Heart”

Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011

Breakups are hard, but Hollywood breakups take things to new heights. Yet Scream 4 stars Courteney Cox and David Arquette have managed to handle their own tough time with grace and a complete lack of bitterness…and still work together! Practically unheard of in Tinseltown.

So how do they do it? Our own Ben Lyons caught up with the pair at the film’s big premiere asked them just that.

“We’re great,” Cox said as she gushed about her ex. “We’re doing great. He’s great. Couldn’t be better.”

But the real insight came from Arquette. When asked how he handled the bittersweet situation of working together, the actor broke it down simply: “We love each other, with all our heart. We have respect and we treat each other kindly.

“That’s what it’s all about. We’ll be together forever, one way or another.”
