Actress Courteney Cox has finally spoken out about her pending divorce to husband and actor David Arquette, People has learned. During an interview for Australia’s TV Week, Cox said, “I don’t know what will happen, but this is not like we’re getting divorced…This is a separation and I think that takes a lot of courage. Whatever is supposed to happen will be the best thing for us.” At the same time, however, Cox admits that all is not well in the duo’s 11 year marriage. “Sometimes you just realize ‘Wow, we actually have grown apart,” she said. As far as her husband’s Howard Stern radio appearance, Cox seemed nonchalant about it, saying Arquette is a “kook” and an “entertainer.” And as Arquette went to Stern for support, Cox has been spending time with her bestie, Jennifer Aniston. “We just have fun, we laugh, we’re inseparable and it’s great.”

In a surprising announcement, Hollywood proves that not everything is about award shows and after-parties. Citing “irreconcilable differences,” Miley Cyrus’ father, Billy Ray Cyrus, filed for divorce from wife Tish after 17 years of marriage. Like any couple that have contemplated and chosen divorce, they’ve attested, “As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work though some personal matters.” While they appreciate thoughts and prayers, the issue of custody has come up, and as Us Weekly states, “Billy Ray asks for shared custody of their three minor kids [Miley, Braison, and Noah], and for an equitable division of their marital assets.”

It’s official: another cute celebrity couple has parted ways. Gossip Girl costars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have gone their separate ways, Peoplehas learned. Reps for both of the actors have confirmed the split, even though the two were seen out in public together just last week in New York shopping for candles at Henri Bendel. While the real-life couple split just like their TV characters, unlike their Gossip Girl counter parts, the pair are remaining mum about the subject. A source says that there seemed “no sign of trouble” between the two while filming their hit show on set. Lively told Allure Magazine in an interview last month that she doesn’t comment on relationships. “My anonymity is something I treasure. Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.” If only Dan and Serena felt the same.

Let’s face it: It’s not often that breakups and divorces are civil and lacking in drama. In fact, most are ridden with angry fights, jealousy and revenge. America’s A-list celebs prove that theory better than any other group! Consider Bristol Palin, Courteney Cox and Mel Gibson.

Although odd couple Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood have officially called it quits, their bond remains strong, according to Us Weekly.

While romance might have been in the air between Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan during the filming of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, that doesn’t seem to be the case post-premiere. The duo have indeed parted ways, with a friend claiming, “It just wasn’t working,” as the reason behind the split. With Mulligan back in Los Angeles filming indie flick Drive, a friend offers reassurance that, “[Carey]’s strong. She’ll be fine!” Would a certain British actor, Tom Sturridge, have anything to do with this? Sources tell Us Weekly that isn’t the case; they’re just pals.
If things aren’t working, when is it time to call it quits?
When your ex-boyfriend pleads guilty to 14 counts of money laundering, conspiracy, and wire fraud, what’s a girl to do? Years later, after a highly publicized fall out with ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, actress Anne Hathaway has found comedic relief when it comes to talking about past relationships. People reported that when Vogue sat down with the actress, and asked about potential deal-breakers, she wittily replied, “Uh…fraud?” While Hathaway can laugh, looking back, she can’t deny it has left her with trust issues stemming from lies and deceit. Hathaway is set to star in romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs, which hits theaters November 24. She says, “Gosh, I hate talking about the breakup, because I don’t want it to define me, but as is to be expected, there were a lot of lingering trust issues, and I think that making a film about trust that required a great deal of trust — well, it was challenging to get there.”

If David Arquette is hurting after his recent separation from wife Courteney Cox, he certainly isn’t showing it. The 39-year-old actor was all smiles at the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards, his first public appearance since news broke of the split from Cox, 46. Us Weekly reports that Arquette, who attended the awards show without his wife, looked happy, relaxed and chatted animatedly with his publicist before going into the event. After 11 years of marriage, the couple announced their trial separation earlier this week. The two met in 1996 on the set of Scream and married three years later. Their daughter, Coco, is 8. A source close to the couple says they “are by no means interested in giving up. They just need time apart.”

After splitting with Jim Carrey, her boyfriend of five years, Jenny McCarthy has found love again. People reports that the actress is very happy with her new man, Jason Toohey, 35, a Las Vegas-based pirate performer. McCarthy, 37, says she has learned a lot from her previous relationships. “I was a girl who pretended. I would say I liked things when I didn’t,” she says. “I knew if I wanted to grow, I needed to make myself happy before I could begin to have an equal relationship with another man.” And the most important lesson she learned? Honesty is the best policy. “If he wants Chinese [food] and I don’t, I say it,” she says. “If he wants to go out and I want to stay in and watch Dancing with the Stars, I tell him so… Our relationship is stronger because of the honesty.”How can you have an equal relationship?

Brett Favre may have to worry about getting sacked by more than just linebackers. The quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings has been accused twice in three days of cheating on his wife Deanna Tynes Favre, according to RadarOnline. Earlier this year, sports reporter Jennifer Sterger accused Favre of sending her sexy texts and pictures, but it wasn’t until last week that the National Football League began looking into the allegations seriously. Less than 48 hours after the NFL announced its investigation, an unnamed masseuse who worked with Favre when he was part of the New York Jets, accused the quarterback of repeatedly leaving steamy messages on her phone.

It’s splitsville for another seemingly happy celebrity couple. RadarOnlinereports that singer Ben Harper and Jurassic Park actress Laura Dern have filed for divorce. The pair dated for five years before marrying in 2005 and have two children together. The breakup is especially surprising because it comes three weeks after the Harper-Dern family traveled to Hawaii together to attend the wedding of their close friend, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. Vedder and model Jill McCormick married September 18, and Harper and Dern spent a week partying in Honolulu along with other celebrities like Jack Johnson and Sean Penn. The couple’s reps had no comment on the split.

After years of irreconcilable differences, Hollywood couple Couretney Cox and David Arquette have announced their official separation. The two have been married for 11 years. Ironically, this romance began when they met on the set of Scream in 1996. They now have a six-year-old daughter named Coco, whom they both adore. As Cox and Arquette recently told People, “The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go though this process we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together.” Though this separation may appear drama-free, it seems the marriage was not. The media has reported repeated arguments in the past.

Jenny McCarthy was full of explanations about her recent split with actor Jim Carrey on ‘Oprah’ this week, according to People. The couple, who dated for five years, separated on friendly terms and still express admiration for one another. “The first thing is, when it’s not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship,” said the former Playboy model. McCarthy is at peace with the breakup, explaining, “I always got back on my feet, and I know especially this year who I am.” But will the couple ever get back together?

Dallas Cowboys player Miles Austin and reality bombshell Kim Kardashian may have recently split, but neither of them are feeling much remorse. But Austin does miss the attention that came with dating Kardashian. An insider told Us Weekly that the athlete “liked [Kardashian] to an extent, but he loved the publicity a lot more. Sitting on the floor of the Lakers game with her was better than any commercial of him that would ever run.” Kardashian wasn’t the only person used in the relationship, however. She would bring her NFL beau when she needed a date for an event. Though the relationship didn’t work, the pair are both moving forward. States the insider, “[Austin] thought [Kardashian] was cool, but by no means is he heartbroken.”

After deciding to divorce, Pratt admitted to TMZ that he didn’t take proper care of himself.Digital Spy now reports that he wants to clean up his image because the couple are “spending more time together.” Shaving his beard seems pretty minor considering the changes his estranged wife went through for him. Multiple plastic surgeries later, Montag has bigger breasts, a thinner nose and fuller lips. But Pratt says he would shave his beard if it meant getting back together with Montag. “I’m really sorry to see it [his beard] go… For months it was my only friend, and a perfect place to save leftovers,” he joked. Pratt and Montag fueled reconciliation rumors after the pair were spotted together in Los Angeles recently.Should you change your image for love?
