"After our 11th-year anniversary, she gave me a motorcycle and said, 'I don't want to be your mother anymore.' I got it."
-- David Arquette sharing what went wrong in his marriage to Courteney Cox in a phone call Tuesday morning to Howard Stern's Sirius radio show -- classy, huh? These days they usually just blast it out there on Twitter. Also volunteered that they haven't had sex in four months and that "she's the greatest woman I've ever met ... [but] she's got her issues."

I'm a bit confused. Did he want her to mother him? Sounds like he's sabotaging any possibility of a reconciliation.

I think he was upfront about being in a sexless marrige to a super hot chick. I find it commendable that he wouldn't cheat on his wife but requested this separation so he could fulfill a need without being caught by the paparazzi. Good on you Dave.

Hey Amy and Roxanne- step off your high horse! Stern is refreshingly honest and in stark contrast to the plastic hosts of other shows that deal with celebrities. You two chatter on in a gossip column so please dont elevate yourselves above the best interviewer of the last 30 years.
