UPDATE: You can read Arquette’s apology for the interview here.

I may not know Courteney Cox, but I’m guessing she’s the type of girl who wouldn’t appreciate her estranged husband doing something like this … especially if he wants to reconcile.

One day after news of their separation leaked out, a bitter-sounding David Arquette decided to make his private marital issues public. And how did he choose to go about doing that? By talking to Howard Stern.

During an interview on the Sirius program, Arquette revealed how long it had been since they last had sex (about 4 months ago), how many times he has had sex with non-girlfriend Jasmine Waltz (once, maybe twice) and what Courteney told him after their 11th anniversary (“I don’t want to be your mother anymore”).

Uhh – based on that childish interview, we can entirely see where the mothering actress is coming from.

David was smart enough, though, to at least sprinkle a few compliments in the chat. “She’s the greatest woman that’s ever lived,” he insisted.
