This split story just won’t die! I’m kind of glad – it’s really juicy. So the morning after everyone confirmed that David Arquette and Courteney Cox were separated, and had been separated for months, David called into Howard Stern’s show for a long, candid conversation (recap here). The conversation included David’s admission that he had slept with Jasmine Waltz, that he and Courteney hadn’t slept together in months, and that Courteney was tired of “mothering” him. I disagreed with some commenters who claimed that this was all just evidence of David’s immaturity – I admired (and still admire) his instinct for honesty, and it struck me that he was falling on his sword and attempting to deflect from the rumors that Courteney was cheating on him with her costar, Brian Van Holt. David came out as the bad guy to many – and Courteney gets to be the beleaguered wife who has put up with his sh-t for years. It was too neat for my tastes, but I gave David an “A” for effort. Anyway, David took to his Twitter to apologize for his candid remarks with Stern:
Thank you all for your Love and support at this time. I’m trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be but it’s been a process of trial and error. I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I’m experiencing but while doing that I shared too much…it’s alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled..Life is a process of spiritual evolution. I’m sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people for what we’ve learned.

So he apologized for his overshare, but reiterated that he was coming from a place of honesty. Did Courteney read him the riot act? According to TMZ’s sources, no, she didn’t. They claim that she knew he was going on Stern, and that she approved:
Courteney Cox knew exactly what David Arquette was going to say to Howard Stern Tuesday, right down to the comment about having sex with another woman.
Sources in a position to know tell TMZ … David and Courteney talked before David made his appearance on Howard’s radio show, and she was “fine” with what David would say.

Of course she was just fine with it! She came out looking like a beleaguered wife whose estranged husband would rather admit his own indiscretions rather than face the possibility that the mother of his child had been screwing some jumpoff side-piece co-worker! Ugh.
UPDATE: Radar is reporting that Courteney is definitely “in love” with Brian Van Holt. Says a source: “Courteney doesn’t believe she was cheating on David because they had been leading separate lives for some time. But she is smitten and in love with this man, almost besotted… he seems to be providing something that David didn’t during the marriage. They’ve been secretly dating for some time, and now the split with David is official, time will tell if the relationship may well get even more serious.” This is what I believe. I think Courteney wanted someone else, and she destroyed her marriage to get laid.
Beyond the concerns I have about Courteney and her jumpoff, and David’s immaturity, and the bullsh-t fertility issue beings raised, not to mention the presence of two harbingers of doom, Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston… well, I have another question: could you live day after day with a woman who was doing this crap to her face? At some point, that’s a deal breaker, right?
