So maybe you've heard: Fox Mulder likes to fuck. Like, a lot. And apparently this is a bad thing that he has to go away to cure. Where exactly is the too much fucking line drawn? If you'd rather schtup than eat pie, is that a problem? What if you've been wearing the same pair of Fruit of the Looms for eight days straight and while you're throwing together a load of laundry you yell, "I can't do this! I've gotta stick my wiener in something"? David Duchovny has completed a highly successful movie and TV series in the past year or so, so he obviously takes time out of his humping schedule to get some work done. We're confused. Maybe People can explain:

David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction, his lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," the actor says in an exclusive statement. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny, 48, has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997. They have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

At first we thought that this might be a ploy to promote the upcoming season of Californication. Hank Moody does like the porking. Fornication is even in the title. But as the season premiere is still about a month off, the timing just doesn't seem quite right. So we're just stumped. Too much sex. Huh. Wonder what that's like.

• Sophie Monk's nipples try to stab their way through her bikini top. Like they were pink, squishy pirate cutlasses. (I Don't Like You In That Way)

• David Duchovny was scared that wife Tea Leoni would give him a beatdown when she saw his makeout scene with Gillian Anderson in the X-Files movie. Guess we can assume she's never seen Californication. (FemaleFirst)

• Nick Hogan turns 18 on Sunday. That means big boy jail! Yayyy! Sooo big! (Allie Is Wired)

• Despite the pap songs, the fishbelly complexion, and the castrato voice, being James Blunt is kind of sweet. (Cityrag)

• More details about Batman giving his batmom a batshove. (Yeeeah!)

• Heather Locklear has been successfully rehabilitated. Locklear v. 2.0 ready for deployment. (The Blemish)

• Amy Winehouse wants at least five children with cracky, smacky husband Blake. Though since he's just been sentenced to 27 months in jail, that might be difficult outside of conjugal visits. (CelebWarship)

• Two weeks post-birth, and Nicole Kidman's gut is flatter than yours. The world is a vampire. (Hollywire)

• Gabrielle Reece shoves her volleyballs into a bikini top. (Drunken Stepfather)

• Picture it. 2008. Estelle Getty dies at her home. We'll miss you, Sophia Petrillo. (PopCrunch)

We thought we had it bad when that crackhead with the pet donkey moved in next door to us, but that's nothing compared to David Duchovny's complaints. He lives next door to Britney Spears. And we're guessing that Bit Bit's shit stinks way more than that donkey's. more »
