On Sunday, Aug. 29 while many in Tinseltown were celebrating Emmy wins and TV honors, Patricia Arquette, Rosetta Getty and Jacqui Getty hosted a dinner benefiting the GiveLove with the 1st Annual GiveLove to Haiti Dinner in Los Angeles.

Several celebrities attended the dinner including Maria Bello, Odette Yusman, Rose McGowan, Rachel Bilson, James Van Der Beek, Dave Annable and Balthazar Getty.

After a yo-yo ride of breakup, then makeup and now divorce, Patricia Arquette and Thomas Jane’s relationship hasn’t exactly been stable.

But Arquette says the split isn’t as acrimonious as one might assume…

“We’re both really good,” she told us last night at the Judith Leiber boutique in Beverly Hills, where she cohosted the Don’t Forget Haiti benefit for Vital Voices.

Arquette insisted she and the Hung star remain friends. The pair, who were introduced by friends in 2001, got married four years ago and have a 7-year-old daughter together. About a year ago the Medium star filed a divorce petition, but the two eventually reunited.

“I don’t think people would even imagine that it could be so friendly and not weird,” Arquette said.

Patricia Arquette has made her split from husband Thomas Jane official.

The Medium star filed for divorce from the actor last Friday, Los Angeles court records show. Arquette is seeking primary physical and legal custody of their daughter Harlow, 7, and is asking the court to deny Jane any spousal support.

“The split is completely amicable and their prime focus is their daughter,” a rep for Jane said last week. “They ask that their privacy be respected at this time.”

The actress first filed for divorce from Jane, who stars in HBO’sHung, in January 2009, but the two reconciled later that year.

Arquette, 42, and Jane, 41, met through friends in 2001 and were married in Italy in May 2006.

Upon her return from a humanitarian two-week trip to Haiti, actress Patricia Arquette will visit welding students at Robert Morgan Education Center in South Miami-Dade who are working with her Give Love Foundation to build doors and roofing trusses for new housing in Haiti.

The American Welding Society teamed up the welding students with Arquette, an Emmy Award-winning actress, and fashion designer Rosetta Getty, to help build 54 housing structures on a one-acre site in Cite Soleil, Port-au-Prince. The units will be constructed out of shipping containers and provide immediate relief for displaced families who are currently camped at the L’Athletique d’Haiti soccer field.
