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 »

‘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 »
