After broken heart and a very public mid-life crisis involving lots of partying and lots of different girls, actor David Arquette has checked himself into rehab. Â He admitted to Howard Stern in a December interview that he’d been drinking a lot to deal with the separation from his wife, actress Courteney Cox, and that when he drinks he turns into “a maniac.”
Arquette also told Stern that he believed he was heading toward a nervous breakdown, and that things weren’t looking too good for him. Â Word has it that Arquette checked into rehab in a last-ditch effort to impress his wife into thinking that he can still be a responsible husband and father. Â It will be interesting to see if she takes him back after all this.
It’s no secret that Courteney Cox and David Arquette have separated, and are definitely each getting on with their own respective lives, but Cox claims that just because they’ve pretty much called it quits right now, doesn’t mean they’re getting divorced. Â She says that although she and her husband have been separated for quite a few months now, they have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, and that they’ve decided to hold off on getting a divorce until they can wait a while and see how things are going to pan out.
David Arquette appeared on Regis and Kelly this week to clear up what he says are misconceptions about his marital fidelity. Â Arquette claims that at the time he was seen out and about with other women, he and wife Courteney Cox had been separated for many months and had a mutual agreement that it was okay to see other people.
While Friends star Courteney Cox is splitting from her husband, David Arquette, her co-star David Schwimmer just announced that he got married four months ago in a private ceremony that he managed to hide from… well, everyone.  Schwimmer married photographer Zoe Buckman back in June, and the two managed to keep it so quiet that not even the paparazzi picked up on it.  A representative for the couple announced the news yesterday, though why they chose this particular timing is unclear.  I’m guessing they figured that no one would care four months after the fact, but honestly I’m not sure people would have cared that much about his wedding anyway.  Now, if Jennifer Aniston ever gets married again… that’ll be a different story.
