CAN MEG RYAN BRING BACK THE ROM-COM?

Meg Ryan is officially back! After an 8 year hiatus from Hollywood, Meg is returning to the big screen this November with David Duchovny in What Happens Later, which she also co-wrote and directed. We’ve been told that’s only the beginning of Meg’s return to filming. Behind closed doors she’s plotting to return to the movies that made her one of America’s sweethearts. She’d like to revisit some of her classic characters from Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. Those rom-coms were the products of the late great Nora Ephron, so it’s a little complicated for Meg. She’ll have to secure the rights to those characters and develop scripts worthy of Nora’s signature style. Meg’s not giving up though, and her costars and pals, Tom Hanks and Billy Crystal, are open to revisiting those characters if the scripts are up to snuff.

DAVID DUCHOVNY’S LITTLE GIRL IS FOLLOWING IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

David Duchovny turned up at the Tribeca Film Festival premier of his poorly titled film Bucky F*ing Dent which is based on his own book of the same title. Duchovny wrote the script, directed, and stars in the comedy-drama – it’s about a father-son relationship and baseball. He brought along his pretty daughter (with ex-wife Tea Leoni) West Duchovny, 24, who is already a working actress herself. She grew up so fast! West is starring in a new Hulu series called Saint X due in August.

DAVID DUCHOVNY: ON SECOND THOUGHT, I’D RATHER BE A MUSICIAN

David Duchovny looks perfectly content after having a satisfying lunch at Soho house. But apparently he’s not totally content with his career. The X-Files star shares the same ambition as Johnny Depp, Jared Leto, Kevin Bacon, and Dennis Quaid – they’re all actors who want to be musicians. David, who has degrees from both Yale and Harvard, just released his SECOND album, Every Third Thought, and he’s in the process of touring with his band (described as “Dad-rock” by one critic) in the US and Canada, and he’s booked in Australia next year. So who needs TV?

TEA LEONI AND HER MINI-DUCHOVNY

Madame Secretary star Tea Leoni and her fourteen year old son Kyd went on a Starbucks coffee run in Malibu and we are struck by how much he resembles his dad David Duchovny. Tea says divorcing “sex addict” Duchovny was hard on her kids for awhile, but now they are friends an she is happily divorced. She and David live five blocks apart so he sees the kids frequently. Brad Pitt would probably love to have such a civilized divorce. As for Tea, she’s busy keeping company with her series costar Tim Daly, who is presumably NOT a sex addict.

WHY IS DAVID DUCHOVNY WEARING A SKIRT?

We might never have known that X-Files star David Duchovny, 55, released an album if he hadn’t been seen wearing this SKIRT. Actually, it’s a kilt – most likely a Utilikilt favored by manly men. The actor turned singer was photographed promoting his album “Hell or >Highwater” in the UK, perhaps hoping to win over the Scottish crowd.The album got decent reviews but we can’t help but wonder why Duchovny’s shirt is soaked with sweat under a leather jacket.

THE X-FILES SCULLY AND MULDER STILL AT IT – 13 YEARS LATER

Ever since “The X-Files” went off the air in 2002, a group of adamant fans has been holding out for David Duchovny,54, and Gillian Anderson, 46, to get together romantically in real life. The X-Files “revival” started filming this week in Vancouver and David and Gillian are coincidentally both single right now, so if anything is destined to happen, the time is ripe. They’re filing six episodes that will debut in January, with Joel McHale costarring as an internet reporter buddy of Mulder’s. We’re hoping he’ll add some humor. Creator Chris Carter says he’s been saving weird news articles for script inspiration since X-Files went off the air, hoping for a reboot.

Yep, it’s happening. The X Files series (1993 – 2002) is coming back to Fox. Both stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, have been approached and are interested. They originated the roles of Scully and Mulder, FBI agents who investigate the paranormal. And their fans are STILL out there! Schedules are being worked out and script ideas are being pitched, aiming to start next summer. Now the rumors about the pair having a secret romance can start all over again – both happen to be single.

THE X-FILES REUNION IS A RAVING SUCCESS

We had no idea there were so many “X-Files” fans still out there. Comic-Con was a big draw for all those obsessed fans when they presented a 20th anniversary reunion of the Fox series. It was one of the biggest events of the show. Gillian Anderson, 44, and David Duchovny, 52, crept up the stage with flashlights like Mulder and Scully used to do. Gillian and David were very playful – they flirted and recalled their favorite scenes and answered fans questions. There is a small group of fans that INSIST David and Gillian have been having a secret affair since he separated from his wife Tea Leoni two years ago. We don’t believe it, but it’s nice to know that David and Gillian are so friendly now.

TEA LEONI AND DAVID DUCHOVNY DIVORCED ALREADY?

We’re hearing that it’s finally OVER for Tea Leoni and “Californication” star David Duchovny and it’s a shame. They’ve been together for 14 years and have two children, Madelaine, 12, and Kyd, 9. They split in 2008 but reconciled after David spent time in rehab for sex addiction. Last June they separated again (perhaps David started hitting the porn websites again) because we’ve been told their divorce has quietly, and without fanfare, become final. Now maybe Tea will do something about her “crush” on Billy Bob Thornton.

DAVID DUCHOVNY LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG

Did anyone else notice that David Duchovny has been looking a bit thrashed and rough around the edges lately? Like he’s been sleeping in his car, or something. His recent abrupt announcement that he’s checking into sex rehab indicates one of two things: First, his wife Tea Leoni caught him red-handed cheating, and his claiming that he has a “treatable disorder” might get him off the hook. (We suspect she doesn’t really want a divorce.) The second possibility is that someone he cheated WITH sold her story to the National Enquirer and it’s about to come out. Those are the only reasons we can think of that would cause an actor to publicly announce that he has a compulsive sexual disorder. We hope his marriage survives.
