Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Grindr (the gay hook-up app)
”I was actually going on to the iTunes store to buy some music just the other day…. I went on to look at — to view the history to see what other songs that David had been downloading, because he’s hip….
”There was some songs and then it said ‘Grindr, to find your same sex in your neighborhood.’
”And I was like, ‘Wow, what if you actually don’t know the person you’ve been with for that long?’ Wonder if David’s buying Grindr! I know this is uncomfortable –. It’s a gay website that you get to punch something in and see where another guy in your neighborhood is.
”So, I called up my assistant who happens to be gay, and I said…, ‘Did you happen to buy anything on our iTunes thing. He said, ‘No.’ Now, I’m kind of shaking: ‘This is going to be a weird call to David.’
”’Really, you didn’t make one purchase?!’ [My assistant] said, ‘No, Courtney.’ I said, ‘Come on, buddy, I woluldn’t get mad. Tell me one thing: You bought Grindr.’
”And he was like, ‘Yeah, yeah. That was a free app.”’

Cox says she is currently separated from Arquette following a series of his public metldowns, perhaps most notably on The Howard Stern show.
Both actors currently share the screen again in the latest installment of the horror movie series, ‘Scream 4.’
