Actor DAVID ARQUETTE has brushed off concerns for his mental state after enjoying a number of wild weekends with scantily clad women following his split from wife COURTENEY COX.
The Scream star has been partying hard since announcing the news of his marriage breakdown in October (10), and he turned heads again this weekend (20-21Nov10) when he displayed his crazy antics in Miami, Florida.
He even uploaded some photos on his Twitter.com blog, showing him posing with a bikini-clad pal and hanging out with his friends.
But Arquette is adamant he hasn’t lost his mind, despite recently admitting he was devastated by his relationship woes.
In another post on Twitter.com, he writes, "I know people think I’ve flipped my lid but I haven’t. I’m cool. Listen to Bob Marley’s Soul Rebel, you’ll know where I’m comin’ from."

DANIEL RADCLIFFE has fuelled gossip he’s secretly gay by confessing he liked wearing co-star CLEMENCE POESY’s tight-fitting clothes in the latest HARRY POTTER movie THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.
The French actress’ character, Fleur Delacour, drinks a potion to become a Potter double in the hit film - and Radcliffe had to change into her clothes for the gender-bending scene.
And he admits he enjoyed it.
The young Brit says, "I was actually quite pleased, and this is only going to add fuel to the fires of the rumour that I’m gay.
"I don’t really care, I’m sort of passed the point of caring… I looked fantastic in Fleur’s outfit! I think I looked really good. It was these sort of skin tight trousers… with a clingy top and a nice little cropped blue jacket on top. Really nice… I was really pleased." Radcliffe goes one step further in the quirky scene - removing Delacour’s bra from his own hairy chest.

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN’ ON MY HEAD singer B.J. THOMAS feared he’d butchered the classic BURT BACHARACH/HAL DAVID movie tune - because he was so sick when he hit the studio to record the song.
The singer wasn’t Bacharach’s first choice to record the tune for the Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid soundtrack and he feared the songwriter would replace him after hearing his poor rendition of the song.
In an upcoming BlogTalkRadio.com interview, Thomas recalls, "I flew out to California and… I was sick with laryngitis and was beat up pretty bad from touring out there rockin’ and rollin’. I had been to the doctor a couple of days before we did the session and I could barely talk. The doctor didn’t want me to even speak for two weeks, let alone sing.
"He gave me a B12 shot and I got through the song after five times. Burt was quite upset that I wasn’t in good shape but the 20th Century Fox guy (movie executive) said, ‘Boy this is great. It sounds like maybe Paul (Newman) was singing! That’s a great idea!’ "He thought that I was singing it in a way that it could be Paul. He didn’t know I was barely getting through it! If you hear it now you can hear it’s a little scratchy. The masters are with 20th Century Fox but when you see the movie you can tell." Fortunately, Thomas and Bacharach got the chance to re-record the track when the singer was better: "We did recut it six weeks later in New York for a single and got it exactly right." The song from the 1969 film went on to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song and became the first U.S. number one of the 1970s.

Rocker BILLY JOEL will be putting his feet up over America’s Thanksgiving holiday (25Nov10) after undergoing hip surgery in New York at the weekend.
The Piano Man has been hobbling around with a cane due to a congenital hip ailment in recent weeks, and relied on the walking stick when he celebrated the grand opening of his motorcycle showroom, 20th Century Cycles, in Oyster Bay, Long Island last week (ends19Nov10).
But he will soon be back to full health after checking into a hospital in Long Island on Saturday (20Nov10) to have the problem fixed.
Joel recently admitted he was raring to get back on stage and start touring again after taking time off to rest his hip.
He said, "This is the longest time I’ve had off in I don’t know how long - and I had fun. But I’m ready to start playing again." A representative for Joel had yet to respond to requests for an update on his recovery status as WENN went to press.

Eco warrior NATALIE PORTMAN was impressed with the lengths director DARREN ARONOFSKY went to to make sure their new movie set BLACK SWAN was green.
The movie won the recent Green Seal Award from the Environmental Media Association for cutting back on waste and plastic - and Portman admits she loved following her director’s green lead.
She says, "Darren is a huge environmentalist and made sure there were no water bottles anywhere on set which is a huge, huge deal because we were drinking tons of water. Everyone was given containers.
"Also at lunch, instead of having Styrofoam, which most movie sets have, for your containers you can have eco-containers. It’s good because it’s a daily thing where hundreds of people are just wasting stuff that’s poisonous." Aronofsky tells WENN, "Our start gift was a Clean Canteen with our logo on it. Every crew member and cast member got one. Films are incredibly wasteful, so you just try to do your best."

BILLY BOB THORNTON had a strange first meeting with his new movie son - he failed to recognise the kid from his favourite TV commercial.
The actor thought he was just being approached by a young fan when Aedin Mincks first approached him on the set of Faster.
He recalls, "I didn’t even know the kid. He came up to me when we first got there and he goes, ‘Hey, I loved you in Bad News Bears.’ I thanked him. I’m used to that from kids and you’re always glad it’s Bad News Bears and not Bad Santa! "Then he said one of the weirdest and funniest things I ever heard anybody say to me on a set: ‘Hey, do you watch the Capitol One commercials with those Vikings?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, I love those things; they’re very funny.’ He goes, ‘You know the fat kid? That’s me!’"

Indian actress FREIDA PINTO has ruled out starring in a Bollywood movie - because many of the films are "churned out" by producers with no quality control.
Pinto shot to worldwide stardom with her role in 2008 movie Slumdog Millionaire, playing the long lost friend of an impoverished youth from Mumbai who triumphs on a TV game show.
She has been offered several "stereotypical" roles for "a girl from India" since finding fame - but she’s adamant she will avoid parts in all-singing, all-dancing Bollywood movies.
Pinto tells Britain’s Daily Telegraph Magazine, "I wouldn’t want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality… It is great to have entertainment, but I think there needs to be something that also makes you want to go back and think about what you’ve seen.
"Mindless cinema is not my cup of tea… I could get into trouble for saying that. I don’t think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching. I say hats off to them for doing what they do, because it takes a lot of courage. It is easier to stand and deliver dialogue. Imagine dancing a song out and kind of expressing through it. I think it is a challenge and requires you to lose your inhibitions."

Veteran British actor JOHN CLEESE had to be escorted home by police officers on Sunday night (21Nov10) after he was mobbed by overzealous fans outside a London theatre.
The Monty Python star was leaving the Old Vic, where he hosted the 24 Hour Plays Celebrity Gala, with his daughter Camille when the fans pounced, demanding autographs.
Cleese failed to make a quick getaway when his ride home failed to show up, and cops were forced to step in when the crowd grew unruly.
A statement from the star’s spokesperson reads, "At the end of the show John left the theatre and discovered that someone else had got into his car by mistake.
"Whilst waiting outside, John was signing autographs for fans, the crowd was growing and the paparazzi photographers started to get a bit out of control.
"A police car stopped and one of the officers asked production staff what was happening - they explained and the police offered to give John a lift home."

TV bosses have stepped up security for the finale of DANCING WITH THE STARS on Monday night (22Nov10) after contestant BRISTOL PALIN and her partner MARK BALLAS received death threats over the weekend (19-21Nov10).
A mysterious package containing talcum powder arrived for Palin at the show’s Hollywood studios on Friday (19Nov10), prompting a studio evacuation, and now sources tell TMZ.com she and Ballas have been targeted with death threats.
The pair hit the headlines a week ago (16Nov10) after show favourite Brandy was voted off.
Many TV fans felt Palin should have been the one asked to leave the programme.
TMZ.com reports producers asked Ballas to stop tweeting about the anti-Palin sentiment - because his actions were merely inciting those keen to harm the daughter of former U.S. vice-president candidate Sarah Palin.
Officials at the F.B.I are still investigating the talcum powder incident.

WESLEY SNIPES’ attorney has dismissed reports the actor has surrendered to authorities to begin his prison term after he was listed by federal officials as "in transit".
On Friday (19Nov10), a Florida judge ordered the Blade star to turn himself into police immediately to start his three-year sentence for tax evasion.
Snipes’ legal representatives have been fighting his 2008 conviction for the past two years, after he was found guilty of failing to file returns or pay tax on earnings of $38 million (£25.3 million), dating back to 1999.
The 48 year old appealed the ruling but lost the case earlier this year (10).
Reports emerged on Monday (22Nov10) suggesting Snipes was in the custody of U.S. Marshals after the Federal Bureau of Prisons website stated Snipes was "in transit".
But the actor’s lawyer, Daniel Meachum, insists his client is still a free man and they have not been given a deadline to surrender.
And Meachum has no plans for Snipes to surrender just yet - he’s determined to have the ruling overturned.
He says, "Mr. Snipes is not in custody and at this point we have not received a self-surrender date or facility.
"However, we are working hard so that there is never a surrender date or facility for Mr. Snipes to report to other than his house or any other place that he chooses to visit.
"In other words we as his lawyers are concentrating more on freeing Mr. Snipes than we are the facility of incarceration. If it comes to that we will deal with it at that time."

Veteran music producer QUINCY JONES has blasted record executives behind the release of the first posthumous MICHAEL JACKSON album, insisting the King of Pop would not have wanted his unfinished songs to hit shelves.
Bosses at Sony are preparing for the December (10) release of Michael, which features previously unheard Jackson material, and have unveiled Akon collaboration Hold My Hand as the first single.
But 77-year-old Jones, the famed producer behind Jackson’s Off the Wall and Thriller albums, is convinced the King of Pop would never want fans to hear his songs without his "final touches" - because he was too much of a perfectionist.
And he’s blasted money-hungry record label executives for cashing in on the legend’s untimely death.
Jones tells UsMagazine.com, "It seems like everybody is trying to put everything out that they can with him. I don’t understand it. It’s all to make money. He wouldn’t have wanted it to come out this way. They must just be trying to make as much money as they can. I don’t know why else they are doing it.
"He wouldn’t have wanted anything out there he didn’t put his final touches on." The posthumous album will also feature tracks with 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz. Jackson died in June 2009.
