So go ahead ladies – keep doing what you’re doing! Read on to see our picks for powerhouse women in Hollywood:
David Arquette’s chaotic months are behind him. Arquette thoroughly explained his new outlook on life toPeopleat Hollywood Bites Back on Saturday. ” I went through a really hard time, and my way of dealing with it was just to blow it all up,” said Arquette. “I did act childish[ly], but at the same time I had to — I was really hurt. It was hard for me to deal with this, but what I had to do ultimately was step back and take a look at myself.” The Scream 4 actor went on to say, “I’m really getting in touch with my feelings, and trying to process them in a more appropriate way.”

While it’s natural to moan and complain to our spouses and expect support and understanding from them, too much complaining can change the very nature of our relationship and damage it beyond repair. When David Arquette and Courteney Cox announced they were splitting up last October, Arquette mentioned that Cox was sick of “mothering” him. For a celebrity couple, the two have been relatively close-lipped about the details of their separation. However, it’s fair to assume that if Cox was doing too much mothering, Arquette was doing too much complaining.
When one member of a couple becomes an over-complainer, it creates significant stress on the relationship and the entire household. Unproductive complaining such as venting, whining and moaning, creates an atmosphere of negativity and dissatisfaction that pervades the home. Over-complaining of the unproductive kind can also make it difficult for other members of the household to express their own joy and happiness.

Courteney Cox let David Arquette know that she’s there for him in spite of their separation, People reports. When Arquette entered rehab a few days ago, Cox was one of the first to show her support.

Arquette, who is also the father of their six-year-old daughter, Coco, was not handling the separation well, sources say. Cox said, “I really admire David and his choice to take charge and better his life…I love and support him.”How do you support your partner through a hard time?

Post-separation from Courteney Cox, David Arquette hit the Miami party scene while simultaneously posting his escapades on Twitter. According to People, the actor was quite the party hopper. He stayed at the Fontainebleau and made appearances at LIV nightclub and Arkadia. He even took time out of his drinking schedule at get a tattoo of his grandfather. A source close to the actor revealed that much of this crazy behavior was a direct result of his separation from Cox. “He was dumped by his wife of 11 years. His answer to that is to go out and party and try to forget about everything and have fun.”

Courteney Cox’s recent split with husband David Arquette has been making quite a few headlines. Unfortunately, news of the break-up has also been affecting Cox’s daughter, six-year-old, Coco. The actress’ Cougar Town costar Josh Hopkins told People, “The day that the news of the separation broke, there were paparazzi outside of their house, and they were taking pictures when Courteney took Coco to school.” Though Courteney Cox has remained strong at home and professional at work, “Coco [still] sees these things, because [paparazzo are] not a normal thing in any respect, and she is a precocious child.” Hopkins went on to explain that the couple’s split is tougher than most due to their celebrity status. “There’s no doubt they have a lot to deal with right now…more than you would in your average separation.”

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.”

It sounds simplistic, but the primary key to a successful marriage, whether the couple are superstars or just plain folk, is for the pair to make each other a priority.
This advice is easy to say, of course, but hard to implement, especially when your every move is followed by Twitter, Facebook, 24/7 cable news, and paparazzi. In the case celebrity couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston, their union endured the scrutiny that arose after a blackmail attempt surrounding the death of their autistic son. No couple is immune from trauma and strife, but they must band together in the face of the trouble, instead of becoming separate camps. Travolta and Preston exhibited grace under unimaginable sorrow and pressure, and their union seemingly emerged stronger for the ordeal.

In the midst of their very public separation, Courteney Cox and David Arquette have vowed to make sure that daughter Coco, 6, remains their top priority, according to People. When the duo announced their separation last month, they insisted that they would remain dedicated parents. In fact, the two even planned to celebrate Halloween together with their daughter. “Sunday, yeah we go trick-or-treating,” Arquette said at a recent film screening. “Coco is going to be a bumblebee and Courteney is going to be a sunflower. I’ll put on a flower suit or something,” Arquette joked.After a split, how can you keep your child’s life normal?
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.

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 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.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette are experiencing some trouble in paradise. Cox wants to gather up the old Friends gang and have them reappear on an episode of Cougar Town, Cox’s latest comedy series. According to a source on Betty Confidential, “David isn’t happy about it.” But apparently, Cox has already called up Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry to make appearances. The source adds, “He told Courteney, ‘This is not Friends. This is Cougar Town.’ They kind of got into an argument about it during a staff meeting. He wasn’t happy when Courteney asked Lisa Kudrow to appear on their show last season, but Courteney won that battle.” It seems that Cox will win this battle, too; she’s already come up with a plot and characters for Perry and Aniston.
