Celebrity Gossip

David Duchovny, who is separated from wife Téa Leoni, denies a report he had an affair with his tennis coach, the actor’s lawyer says.

“The stories about an alleged affair between David Duchovny and his tennis instructor, Edit Pakay, are completely false,” attorney Larry Stein says.

The U.K.’s Mail on Sunday reports that the two became involved after Duchovny, 48, hired Pakay for private tennis lessons and that the pair had been “physical” for at least six months.

“Ms. Pakay denied the rumors to me in person last Friday, saying they are just friends, and in addition, said in writing that such stories are ‘lies and deceit,” he says.

Duchovny voluntarily checked himself into rehab for sexual addiction in August. He has remained friendly with Leoni, 42, since checking out in early October after having “successfully completed his treatment,” according to Stein.

David Duchovny says working with Gillian Anderson again was like enjoying the “jam of appreciation”.

The actor - who reprises his role as Fox Mulder alongside Gillian’s Dana Scully in new movie ‘The X-Files: I Want To Believe’ - admits he’d “had enough” of Gillian by the time the original ‘X-Files’ TV show finished in 2002, but was thrilled to return to the character after a six-year break.
He said: “Gillian and I are not as close as Mulder and Scully but who could be? Nobody is as close as Mulder and Scully. But we worked together for so long that by the time the series ended we had enough of each other.
“But six years having passed, it’s like, I don’t make jam, but I’m assuming you pour away the boiling liquid so after six years the liquid is all boiled off and all that remains is the jam of appreciation.”
David also compared British women to “frozen champagne”.

He added to British TV presenter Miquita Oliver: “You know what Byron said about English women? He said that they were like frozen champagne. When champagne freezes all the non alcoholic liquids freeze to the top and at the bottom is just that strong distilled alcohol. I think it is a compliment.”
The full interview between Duchovny and Oliver can be seen on Channel 4’s ‘T4′ this Sunday (03.08.08).
