Courteney Cox and David Arquette are back together, but it's only for a TV role on Cougar Town.

Arquette will be guest starring on the hit abc sitcom ... a show that both he and Cox executive produce.

The 40-year-old actor will play a hotel concierge on the show's season 3 finale episode.

Cox and Arquette split back in October 2010 after being married for 11 years.

The couple met while filming the horror movie Scream in 1996.

Arquette, who appeared on last season's Dancing with The Stars, is now dating Entertainment Tonight reporter Christina McLarty.

We haven't seen David Arquette this happy in awhile! The actor's younger girlfriend Christina McLarty, a reporter for Entertainment Tonight, must have something to do with it.

The duo, who have been dating since last summer, posed together for the cameras at the Opening Night Preview Benefit for the LA Art Show. Great to see the Scream actor is sticking with his sobriety.

Is it just us or does Ms. McLarty kind of resemble David's ex Courteney Cox? He definitely has a type.

Let's hope these two go the distance!

David Arquette has been sober for one year, and the Scream actor is ready to party ... minus the alcohol, of course!

Coco's dad was all smiles while he hit up Mr. Chow in Hollywood with his ex Courteney Cox. Great to see that despite the split, these two former lovebirds are still great friends! Just recently on New Year's Day, Courteney and David spent the day as a family with their daughter.

Although Mr. Arquette has been dating Entertainment Tonight's Christina McLarty, his new ladylove was a no-show.

Great to see Courteney Cox and David Arquette are the best of friends despite their split. Daughter Coco seems to be loving the fact that she gets to spend the first day of 2012 with both her parents!

Although David seemed a bit shy while out for a stroll with his family, Courteney and Coco didn't seem to mind all the attention. David's new flame Christina McLarty was nowhere in sight, but we have a feeling he spent New Year's Eve with his sexy new lady!

We're lovin' Coco's stylish black boots and Serendipity 3 shirt. Looks like these three are off to a great start for the new year.

He may be wearing track pants and a Dodgers jersey, but David Arquette made sure to dress up his relaxed ensemble with a plaid dinner jacket, for a lunch date with new girlfriend Christina McLarty, in Hollywood on Tuesday.

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant was actually dressed in gym wear for a reason -- he's still taking dancing lessons from former partner Kym Johnson!

Twitter

Arquette posted a Twitpic earlier in the day, before meeting up with his ladylove for lunch, with the caption: "Guess who I had a dance lesson with @kym_johnson - It was so much fun to dance with you again."

Too bad Dave can't return next season!




It must be serious! David Arquette introduced his new girlfriend Christina McLarty to daughter Coco months ago and the trio already looks like a family!

The group lunched at a Malibu park Saturday and our photographer tells us: "They all looked so relaxed and happy. Coco seems to have really taken to Christina. The two girls were lunching and playing around together. The seem like good friends."

Arquette and McLarty were first spotted together at Comic Con in San Diego in late July and David told Howard Stern during a radio interview in late September, McLarty is "adorable." According to Arquette, the two met at a "boat party."

Arquette has been separated from wife Courteney Cox for just over a year, though neither has yet filed for divorce. Still, if things continue to be serious with McLarty, perhaps David will want to make the break with Cox official. McLarty ended her marriage to Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis in 2010, after only two months with the notorious bad boy. Maybe she's ready to settle down with someone a little more stable now?

He had hinted at it, but now he's gone and said it outright.

David Arquette, 40, told Howard Stern on Tuesday that, no matter what, he would not reconcile with estranged wife Courteney Cox, 47 (they have yet to file for divorce, though they separated more than a year ago.)

Stern asked Arquette, "If Courteney said to you, 'David, I made a mistake I want to work on our marriage. I want you moving back into the house, I want you to break up with that girl. I know we have to do this for our daughter.' Would you consider it?"

Arquette's reply? "Uh, I mean, no."

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant is now dating Entertainment Tonight reporter Christina McLarty.

Arquette and Cox were married for 11 years. Arquette told Stern that he's in love with McLarty, and when he told Cox, it was an emotional moment. "She was sad, we were both sad," he said. "We both cried."

Fresh from his elimination on Dancing With the Stars, David Arquette stopped by the Jimmy Kimmel Show looking a bit relieved to finally be done with those grueling dance practices.

The Scream star was given the boot after his cha-cha failed to impress fans, but we're really going to miss his goofball antics on the show!

Arquette took time to greet fans outside of Kimmel Tuesday night, where he told us that the judging on DWTS was "realistic", but the judges' referral to Chaz Bono as a 'penguin' was "not nice."

We agree!
