David Arquette Says Courteney Cox & Daughter Coco Supportive Of ?Dancing? Move

FIRST PUBLISHED: August 30, 2011 4:16 PM EDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Courteney Cox is fully behind David Arquette?s latest career move ? competing on ?Dancing with the Stars.?

?She?s been really supportive and she?s been really sweet,? David told Access Hollywood of his ex, the star of ABC comedy, ?Cougar Town.?

David said he expects Courteney will hit the ballroom sidelines to cheer on the actor as he competes against 11 other celebrities, including Nancy Grace, Kristin Cavallari and NBA star Ron Artest.

?She?ll be there, I?m sure,? he said. ?She?s been very kind about it and very supportive.?

The ?Scream? franchise star?s 7-year-old daughter, Coco, is also behind dad, to a point.

?She is, she may be a little nervous that I?m going to embarrass her,? he laughed. ?I?m sure I will with some of the ? I?ve already put outfits on for rehearsal.?

And David admitted he is even willing to cross a personal line to look picture perfect in the ballroom.

?I?m not a big fan of orange as a skin tone, but hopefully, I?ll be able to sit out in the sun a little,? David said when asked if he?ll spray tan. ?I do know that that?s part of this game, but you want to look the part and be a part of it so I?m willing to do whatever it takes to do my best.?

Ricki Lake has already suggested that David is a frontrunner, and David is hoping some coincidental numbers will bring him luck.

?I just heard it was Season 13, and my daughter was born on the 13th. A little cosmic beautifulness,? he said. ?I?m really excited to be a part of this cast, and to having a partner whose gonna teach me all these amazing moves.?

The ?Dancing? pro partners will be announced on Wednesday morning on ?Good Morning America.? The new season will premiere on Monday, September 19, in a two-hour show, from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT.

The following night ABC will air ?Dancing with the Stars: Meet the Cast,? which airs at 8 PM, followed at 9 PM by the first ?DWTS? results show.

Libya: More Bloodshed In Battle For Bani Walid

As convoys of anti-Gaddafi troops move forward towards Bani Walid, more bloodshed is predicted in the effort to take one of Muammar Gaddafi's remaining strongholds.

At regular intervals, ambulances screech by in the opposite direction towards the clinic in the nearest village fifty kilometres away.

The reinforcements from the north started the day at the mosque, praying for victory in their hometown, before heading to the front line.

The National Transitional Council's negotiator for the area, Abdullah Kenshil told us they have about 4,000 rebel fighters surrounding the collection of hamlets in the valley.

It is thought there are only around 50 die-hard Gaddafi supporters holed up in the area, but they have had time to prepare for what may well be their last stand.

When the fighters launched their assault on Friday evening , they faced difficult terrain and a barrage of heavy weaponry including rockets and artillery.

They claim their enemy is using residents' houses as bases and firing points, making it almost impossible to fire back without risking the lives of civilians.

Abdullah Kenshil is optimistic they can take the town but says he is determined they will do it legally and while respecting human rights.

He has issued a directive to all troops, demanding: "You will not enter houses; you will not hurt the people. You will not fire in the air; prisoners will be captured and judged through the courts..."

But there is already tension between the different communities and leaders involved in the battle.

The Bani Walid commanders refused to wait for the deadline imposed by Benghazi's National Transitional Council but say the early attack was justified.

"They are inside the city, they are fighting with snipers. They forced this on us and it was in self-defence," said Abdullah Kenshil.

And the people of Bani Walid are determined to claim this victory as theirs alone -reluctant to allow so-called 'foreign' fighters onto their land.

They are proud and historically very independent and they are keen to capture the "Big Fish" Abdullah Kenshil says is personally pulling the strings behind the fierce resistance in the town.

He is convinced Colonel Gaddafi himself is leading his men, alongside his former spokesman Moussa Ibrahim and at least two of his sons.

The rebel fighters have now reached the outskirts of Bani Walid. Their target, the Souk, or market place is two kilometres away.

But it may be some time before they claim the town and any Gaddafi prize within it.

And it will surely bring more of the bloodshed that they were so desperate to avoid.

9/11: Afghanistan 'No Longer About One Event'

As they walked into the corner of the compound that was Sky News' temporary home at Checkpoint Atlantis, it was clear the lads were nervous.

Tinks and Billy, elite Royal Marine snipers, are braver than you or I - staring death in the face on an almost daily basis, trusting in and relying on each other to get home safe and sound each night.

Yet as they sat down cross-legged on the dusty floor, they were uneasy - until, that is, they did what they always do and began to lean on the other.

They are clearly as close as two young friends can be.

When I asked them for their memories of 9/11 they acted as if twins - often finishing each others sentences, agreeing with each other and nodding in sync, giving an honest account of what it was like that dark day, for those almost too young to process the event.

"I'd have been 12, 10 years ago," said Billy. "I was on the bus waiting to go home, still at school.

"One of the girl's dads was flying to America. She was upset and through her everyone found out."

Tinks looked at his friend then, when certain he'd said all he wanted to, spoke slowly.

"I was 14. I was still at school, I remember being in a history lesson and seeing one of the teachers come in. She was crying and no one knew why.

"Then she told everyone, and I don't think anyone really understood how big it was, what kind of a disaster it was, until later when we all went home and saw it on the news."

As did so many others, seeing these events on television was a surreal event for them both - especially as they were just two young lads raised on action films and games of playing soldier.

Yet the constant barrage of imagery meant it quickly became all too clear this was no fiction, no Hollywood event - but a heinous act, committed by criminals.

"It was on the scale of natural disasters," said Billy. "But this time someone was to blame for it. This time it was terrorism."

The two barely knew of Afghanistan's existence, let alone those who had planned and executed the attack on the twin towers.

"At that age you kind of live in your own little bubble. It's just you, your friends and your family, you're just kind of plodding on.

"If someone had said to me: 'Who are the Taliban? Who are al Qaeda?' - I'd have been like, I don't know. Some bad guys."

But as they grew older, so did their understanding of what had happened that day - of Osama bin Laden, of the al Qaeda network, of the lengths to which some people were prepared to go to spread their views and suppress those they disagreed with.

Having made the decision to join the Royal Marines, they now find themselves trying to find a broader meaning to the job here in Nad e Ali.

For both, this is less to do with bearded men in caves plotting terrorist acts and more to do with this country's future.

"It's not about that one incident anymore. It's about many others," said Tinks.

"It's about why Afghanistan is the way it is, and what allowed that to happen in the first place.

"We're trying to get out of Afghanistan - we don't want our children or grandchildren to come back here."

Not for the first time, Billy nodded in agreement - and I found myself doing the same.

Not for the first time, I found myself deeply impressed by the Royal Marines Commandos.

Good luck lads - keep your heads down. I know you'll be looking out for each other.

Watch: Behind The Scenes With Brad Pitt On 'Moneyball'

Please wait...

By JACK SWIKER

Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman, takes a look inside the story of how one man changed the way that baseball was managed.

The film follows Pitt as Billy Beane, the real-life general manager of the Oakland Athletics, as he tries to assemble his baseball team using different standards than have been previously used in baseball.

Speaking on the challenges that Billy Beane faced, Pitt says, "The minute you start questioning any of those norms, you can be labeled a heretic or dismissed as foolish. These guys had to step back and ask, 'If we were going to start this game today, is this how we'd do it?' A system that has worked for 150 years doesn't work for us - I think that's applicable to the moments of flux we're experiencing today."

Moneyball opens in theaters on September 23, 2011.

Check out the video above to see more behind the scenes of Moneyball.

Getting Ready To Rumba ? ?Dancing With The Stars? Season 13 Cast Revealed!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

It?s time again for sequins and celebrities!

On Monday night, ?Dancing with the Stars? co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke revealed the new cast set to compete on Season 13 of the show, set to begin on September 19 on ABC.

Actress and former talk show host Ricki Lake, Laker Ron Artest (who took his shirt off after his name was revealed), Wilson Phillips singer Chynna Phillips, former ?The Hills? reality star Kristin Cavallari, actor David Arquette, and fashion expert Carson Kressley were the first names revealed on Monday night.

In a second announcement made by Bergeron and Burke during ABC?s ?Bachelor Pad,? also confirmed were HLN host and former prosecutor Nancy Grace, ?All My Children? actor and war veteran J.R. Martinez, soccer star Hope Solo, ?Keeping Up with the Kardashians? man of the house Robert Kardashian, Italian bombshell (and George Clooney?s ex-girlfriend) Elisabetta Canalis, and Cher?s son, Chaz Bono.

When asked if having been a part of the ?Hairspray? cast gave her an edge by an audience member at the cast reveal, Ricki laughed.

?Oh come on! You?re kidding!? Ricki smiled. ?I was 18 years old, that was 1988, I was 200 pounds and I was faking it the entire time. It was all about the attitude, not about the steps. I assure you I do not have an edge.?

David, who split with wife Courteney Cox late last year, an actress who is on ABC show ?Cougar Town,? said he joined the show to bring positivity to his life.

?Well, I love to dance and I love to entertain,? he said. ?I?m really looking for positive things in my life and dancing really makes me happy. It really helps ground me and it provides grace in my life and those are all the things that I?m looking for.?

As for Chaz, he said he?s already nervous for competition to begin.

?I think it?s daunting,? the son of Sonny Bono and Cher noted.

The new season will premiere on Monday, September 19, in a two-hour show, from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT.

The following night ABC will air ?Dancing with the Stars: Meet the Cast,? which airs at 8 PM, followed at 9 PM by the first ?DWTS? results show.

Snooki -- Bye Bye Beamer, Helllllllllooooo ESCALADE!

Another big breakup on the "Jersey Shore" ... this time Snooki has kicked her BMW to the curb in exchange for a much BIGGER ride.

TMZ has learned Snooki just drove off the lot of a Long Island Cadillac dealership in a brand new Escalade.

One source close to the Snook tells us Snooki's new ride came with some pretty sick black alloy rims (pictured above).

After the deal, Snooki went to her Twitter and wrote, "Bye beamer, my poor frankie, love you always!"

No word on how much she paid for the car -- but it probably doesn't matter much ... those kids are frickin' loaded.
