David Duchovny’s Tennis Coach Denies Affair, Confirms Insatiable Need for Press

9:00AM Kyle Buchanan | Earlier today, America was introduced to Edit Pakay, the tennis coach who allegedly taught beleaguered sex addict David Duchovny more than just a one-handed backhand. “I am not going to deny it,” she helpfully told The Mail. “If you want to write that we have an affair then fine. I will not argue against it.” Now, though, after an abduction/probe by Duchovny’s lawyers, Pakay is doing just that. Go figure! The chatty-yet-confused tennis instructor took the new version of her story to E!:

David Duchovny’s Tennis Coach Is Excited to Have Her Truth Out There

2:27AM Kyle Buchanan | Like a good episode of The X-Files, David Duchovny’s autumn has incorporated one twist after another: shocking revelations (his sex addiction!), creepy, cigarette-smoking men (Billy Bob Thornton!) and now, finally, a guest star who truly is special. Meet Edit Pakay, the actor’s 28-year-old tennis instructor, who has given a deliciously rambling interview to The Mail in which she teases that she might have had an affair with Duchovny, though she is eternally quick to back away from the brink of total revelation (also kind of X-Filesy!): More »

The Truth (About Billy Bob Thornton) Is Out There for a Cuckolded David Duchovny

4:12AM Kyle Buchanan | It’s been a rough year for the Duchovny-Leonis, what with David’s well-publicised trip to sex rehab, the general public’s crushing indifference to a way-too-late X-Files movie, and the sad lack of bangable extras at the recent Czechoslovakian street fair in Manhattan. Few were surprised when the patient Tea Leoni announced her separation from Duchovny yesterday, but now the Daily Mail is claiming Duchovny instigated the breakup because Leoni was cheating — with Billy Bob Thornton: More »

Did Billy Bob Thornton Break Up David Duchovony And Tea Leoni?

3:54PM Jess McGuire | Wow, this is confusing. When it was announced Californication star David Duchovny and his wife of A Rather Long Time, actress Tea Leoni, were splitting up, I assumed it would have something to do with David-related misbehaviour, considering he’d recently entered rehab for sex addiction. But no, says the Daily Mail. It’s actually because Tea and Billy Bob Thornton have been participating in a few Warney-esque text exchanges! X Files star David Duchovny and his actress wife Téa Leoni have split up after he discovered explicit text messages on her mobile phone sent by actor Billy Bob Thornton. More »

9:00AM Seth | We Didn’t Want To Believe. Despite having completed his sex-addict’s rehab-training certification classes and putting on a brave, united front at aCzechoslovakian street fair, David Duchovny and longtime spouse Tea Leoni have announced their separation: “In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months. The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children.” [People] More »

8:20AM Kyle Buchanan | And he’s out! After a long, arduous stay in sex rehab, David Duchovny and his wife, Tea Leoni, were snapped at the Czech Street Festival in New York City this weekend. Roger Friedman will be pleased by his choice of coasts, though the actor will certainly have to return to Los Angeles at some point to shoot the soon-to-be-awkward third season of Californication. Tea, might we recommend the newest in fully-transparent glass Star Waggons? [ONTD] More »

David Duchovny Totally Into Internet Porn, If By ‘Internet Porn’ You Mean Banging Extras

3:00AM Defamer Hollywood | When Californication star David Duchovny announced he was checking into sex rehab, Fox News columnist Roger Friedman suggested it was due to an internet porn addiction — a theory that didn’t sit well with our commenters, who remembered a suddenly relevant blind item about a TV star who’d been following extras off the set for some very special “overtime.” Today, the NY Daily News rebuts Friedman and confirms the latter rumour, hearing from the National Enquirer that Duchovny’s wife Tea Leoni was on to his elaborate scheme to trade sex for SAG vouchers: More »

Fox News Blames Internet, Los Angeles for David Duchovny’s Sex Addiction

5:30AM Defamer Hollywood | Most celebrities only announce a stint in rehab after undergoing a very public flame-out, so when David Duchovny offered last week (apropos of nothing) that he was being treated for sex addiction, gossip hounds went wild trying to figure out the reasons why. One columnist hot on the case is Fox News gadfly Roger Friedman, last seen trying to put the blame for the Harry Potter delay on star Daniel Radcliffe’s magic wand. After a little digging, Friedman got to the bottom of some of the more scurrilous rumors: More »

‘My Name Is David Duchovny, And I’m Imagining You Without Panties Right Now’

2:38AM Defamer Hollywood | It was announced in a statement released yesterday that X-Files star David Duchovny is the latest star to voluntarily enter rehab, though his stint is a markedly different one than the typical two-week Promises tour accorded most penitent, crisis-managed celebs. No, Duchovny — who played a sex-obsessed character in the softcore drama Red Shoe Diaries, the 2005 film Trust the Man, and currently essays one as bed-hopping novelist Hank Moody on the Showtime series Californication — is seeking treatment for sex addiction. Though currently married to actress Tea Leoni (with whom he has two children: daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6), the actor has fended off rumours about his sex life for over a decade, according to Us Weekly: More »
