Arquette set for 'Oprah' chat

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has scrapped plans to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," the chat show's representatives said.

Vick missed two seasons of professional football to serve 18 months in prison on dogfighting charges.

"He said personal reasons. We're not going to push it," Winfrey told The Hollywood Reporter.

"We did a field trip with him. We had been shooting with Michael Vick. And the fact that he pulled out and all his people ... " Winfrey said. "We move on."

Instead of interviewing Vick, Winfrey sat down with actor David Arquette and talked to him about his separation from his wife, actress Courteney Cox, and recent trip to rehab for alcohol addiction.

"I can now confirm that next Thursday's episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' will now feature an exclusive sit-down with David Arquette in his first interview post-rehab," Winfrey's publicist, Don Halcombe, told The Hollywood Reporter Thursday.
