Jen & John’s Double Date With the Cox-Arquettes

Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer helped Courteney Cox and David Arquette celebrate their anniversary Thursday night, but that’s not what makes them humanitarians.

The foursome got together for Omnipeace.com’s dinner party at STK restaurant.

According to People, the two Friends were first joined by John, and then David came along after watching the Lakers-Celtics game at the bar. Ouch!

Once Mayer settled in next to her, Jen was seen slipping her arm around her man. But that wasn’t the only PDA between them…

Later in the evening, the group sipped wine while Jen and John held hands under the table.

Could they be following in their married friends’ footsteps? After all, Courteney and David were celebrating nine years of marriage that nightdespite his apparent fondness for watching sports on TV rather than keeping his wife company.

This guy has it all…Grammy Awards, fame and fortune, and one of the hottest girlfriends in the world.  And John Mayer, courtesy of his sweetie Jennifer Aniston, got to hang out with Courteney Cox over the weekend.

The “Break-Up” actress took her “Waiting for the World to Change” singer beau over to Cox’s private gated beach home in Malibu, California yesterday for some R&R.

The perfect twosome was spotted pulling into the Cox/Arquette residence in Mayer’s Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV and spent the afternoon with Courteney and David, showing plenty of PDA throughout the visit.

And you know what this means… John must really be winning Miss Aniston over if she’s already taking him around to meet her BFFs… could it be more than a fling?

Guy Ritchie Attached to Direct Sgt. Rock for Joel Silver

Fresh off working with Guy Ritchie on Rocknrolla (due this October), mega-producer Joel Silver says he’s tapped the British director/major Madonna fan to see through his long gestating comic book adaptation of Sgt. Rock. AICN got the succinct scoop…

Moriarty: But you do that with properties. You stick by them, like SGT. ROCK. You have developed that for a long time now…

Joel: I’m going to make that. I’m going to make that very soon. With Guy Ritchie, I think.

Moreover, Sgt. Rock screenwriter John Cox, who also adapted Virgin Comics’ wartime-set Virulents due in 2009, has posted Silver’s statement on his MySpace. Years ago, Sgt. Rock was planned as a big budget Schwarzenegger vehicle, and last year Cox briefly threw around Kiefer Sutherland’s name for the title role, but no actor has been set. What’s cool about the film is that it will apparently keep the comics’ gruff World War II setting instead of going the Iraq-update route, and rather than an origins story, Cox has said it will focus on Rock after he’s seen considerable combat/bloodshed.

Not sure what I think of Ritchie’s involvement. He’s never tackled a project this large and multi-faceted, but his early films have cockney flare for days. What do you think?
