Courteney Cox and David Arquette met on the set of Scream (which was 14 years ago!), got married, had a baby, and everyone pretty much forgot about them. However, the duo are making headlines again having announced they're on a trial separation, saying, "The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner."
For Arquette, he's apparently finding he needs someone like Jasmine Waltz—serial celebrity dater and better known as the girl who may or may not have punched Lindsay Lohan in the face on her birthday.
Now that he's playing the field, can Lockhart Steele expect Arquette to show up at his Lower East Side poker table again? As for Monica, she should have never turned down Pete the millionaire.
