David Arquette is hardly the world’s scariest foe, but he wins Ten Shiny Internets for defending his wife against the catty bishes at the NY Times. The NY Times: The Moment fashion blog made two faux-pas in nearly as many days; first, they mocked cancer sufferer Michael C. Hall; second, they called Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Hudson weighty as they walked the 67th Annual Golden Globes red carpet. They didn’t use those words, to be fair, but this is the NYT. They know commenting on imaginary celebrity weight-gain is going to be met as though they pointed and yelled fatty fat fat over and over.
David Arquette has a response for the New York Times blogger who suggested that his wife showed up at the Golden Globes carrying a bit of extra weight. “I don’t think that has anything to do with anything. Writing articles about people that put on weight is just wasting space for real news,” he told Fox News’ Pop Tarts. “And who really cares? I love round people, I love skinny people. I love people in general; we’ve got to get past labels and stop being so critical about everything.”

–applause–
at least someone in Hollywood has at least half a brain.
Yep – I loved that he responded at all, as most Hollywood types would not.
Amen, Mystery Man! Good for him – not only for defending Courtney but for pointing out the waste of space that passes for news, and it is superficial crap about what people look like.
On this site, which is an official celebrity gossip site, Amy Grindhouse put in more journalistic time on celebrity women who were missing or murdered, and showed compassion for untimely passings of others, while the so called “Real News” spends more time on who is too fat and who is too thin. Honestly.
And for Arquette? Always liked the guy, now officially love him.
Thanks – and I co-sign all the above!
