David Arquette has checked into rehab, his rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. (TMZ was the first to report the news.)

"He's trying to win Courteney [Cox] back, and he turned back to drinking again out of frustration," the source tells Us. "He is doing this to show her he means it and will do anything for her and Coco. He wants his family life back. It's been so hard on him."

On an appearance on the Howard Stern Show in December, Arquette, 39, admitted to drinking heavily after his October split from Cox, his wife of 11 years. "I've been drinking a lot because I'm heartbroken. It's really a personal, traumatic thing."

    She just doesnt want you anymore David. You dont spin her fan, and she wants a more he-man. Sorry, you are much too "silly" for her.

    So disgusted with most of these comments below by judgmental, ignorant people. Celebrities are like the rest of us, human...We have no idea what they go through. Sad for David and Courtney because they are both great entertainers. Proud of them for not dragging their daughter through the media with them.

    Another drunk...ooohhh....what a shocker. These people are jerks. Run to rehab and you don't go to jail $$$ maybe your wife/husband won't divorce you $$$$ and the public will love you again....NOT!! Once an idiot...always an idiot. Why are we wasting trees to write about these burnouts???

    @Priscilla, Courteney is one of the reasons why he is drinking again because she is a control freak etc...

    She's not worth it David

    Good luck David! Your family will be there to support you the whole way. I hope his New Year's Resolution was to get his wife back! =D @Bea: He's not blaming Courteney, but being heartbroken and depressed did cause him to become a binge drinker.

    Best of luck, David. Get well soon.
