Actually I guess the headline is wrong, because a true sex addict wouldn't really enjoy the sex act because he would always be thinking about the next time and the next time. Michael Douglas found the key to dealing with sex addiction is finding someone 30 years younger than you who will literally maim him and then kill him if he cheats. You think it is the money in the pre-nup? Hell no. If he wanted he could make that in a year or two of working. It is Catherine Zeta Jones and what she has said to him, or the way she cuts carrots. All I know is that Michael has been meek and in a corner since she came into his life.
Eric Benet? Please. He probably is still screwing everything he can find. I'm not sure he is actually an addict. I think he might just be a dog. There is a difference. Take for an example, someone who has not admitted to being a sex addict, like Peter Cook. I mean come on. $40,000 a year on porn is a sex addict. He may not have called himself one, but it's what he is. Sex addiction was not as prevalent before the internet. There were just as many, but it was much harder to "use." The internet is like crack to sex addicts.
A sex addict goes through a 12 step program just like AA, and so even though it is sex, and I think a lot of married guys, use it as an excuse when busted, I have to give David Duchovny the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I wouldn't make fun of him if he went in for drug addiction and I won't make fun of him just because his addiction is sex. Now, not making light of his situation does not preclude me from revealing some blind items he was in which deal with his sex issues. I just need to read through them first because some involve other people as well.
i would request group therapy if i was him.
ReplyDeleteWe knew it!
ReplyDeleteAnd, he really needs a new hair style to cover all that forehead.
Not nearly as hot as he was in the X-Files era, IMO.
Sandman, LOL. One time on Cheers Sam Malone joined a support group for sex addicts, with predictable (and funny) results.
ReplyDeleteWho knows what the true deal is with DD. I feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt, too. I imagine he's trying to save his marriage.
Enty,
ReplyDeleteNow is he a sex addict in the case where he didn't care what gender the hole was he was sticking it into? Or is he strictly a hetero sex addict?
Enquiring minds want to know.....
Ok, this one was SO worth checking in from vaction to read. :) I can't wait for the reveals. Now back to the pool... Later, suckas.
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas was in Fatal Attraction so I think Glenn Close had more to do with it than CZJ. Hide the bunny!
ReplyDeleteSo which came first - Californication or David Duchovny : Sex Addict ?
ReplyDeleteI noticed back in July that he wasn't wearing his wedding ring at some of the X-Files movie events. His poor family.
As soon as I heard this news I thought about the blinds where the majority of guesses was David.
ReplyDeleteI think he's smug and arrogant, but I like tend to like that in a man.
I just wonder if there's any truth behind the comments that he finally got caught screwing around and that's why he's decided to get help?
Didn't Gillian Anderson become pregnant on the set of the latest X-Files movie? Hmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteHey margarita! There have always been rumors that her first child was really DD's.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read yesterday, Tea is following Billy bob Thornton around as he tours with his band.
ReplyDeleteSo anyone have any guesses on the blind items?
ReplyDeleteSomething big must have been coming down the pipe, so to speak, for him to openly admit to a sex addiction. Why else would he jeopardize his reputation and that of his family otherwise? If I were a sex addict (and if you have to be some kind of addict I'd go for this one), I wouldn't humiliate my family by making a public statement about it or the treatment I hoped to receive. It could have been a quiet thing, rather than the spectacle it has become.
ReplyDeleteThere's a bigger story here than just the sex addiction, trust.
@kat -- My thoughts exactly.
ReplyDeleteAnd what I keep coming back to is "he knocked up someone not named Tea Leoni, and that someone is planning on talking".
Dianne - There's a Frasier episode where Sam Malone comes to visit and brings his fiance to introduce to Frasier. He met her in a sexual addiction group, the fiance was played by Tea Leoni. Sad and weird.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that the new season is c*ming soon, this conveniently timed public admission might have more to do with the poor ratings Californication had in its premiere run last year? Or just another attention-seeking failing-career move (sort of the male equivalent to babies, baby pics and gayish romances). Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI just have one question. Do you think he is capable of ass raping and assault? Just asking.
ReplyDeletekat- is this jeopardizing his reputation? Like marina ortiz said, Californication's new season is on the horizon and, from what I hear about the show (correct me if I'm wrong), his character is a total manwhore.
ReplyDeleteThis is a PR dream for the show. Also, are they paying the Red Hot Chili Peppers $$ to use that title? Didn't RHCP come up with that first?
wow amster, that would be shocking. And certainly a reason to check yourself into rehab to cop a plea. It'd be sad if that were him.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the reveals on this one.
I can't help it, but I think sex addiction is bullshit. That's all.
ReplyDeleteI think he announced it because this is the most publicity he's had in years.
ReplyDeleteI wondered about the PR aspect & the timing for this rehab visit as well. If it's a 30 day program, he'll be out JUST in time to do press for the premier of Californication! Oh, the irony...
ReplyDeletesupposedly the Nat Enq is doing a story on the cheating and he announced to head that off.
ReplyDeleteBilly Bob Thornton - ugh.
And what won't Hwood people do for publicity??
I think the chili peppers sued the show for the title, but I don't know what happened with that.
Sweet, Christmas is coming early!!
ReplyDeleteNot to diminish CZJ's role in taming Michael Douglas, but he did famously get treatment for his sex addiction at Sierra Tucson, which is probably where DD is right now.
ReplyDeletenobody would admit to something like this for the sake of ratings. either someone has his nuts in a vice (like his wife or a woman he did something to) or he's admitting he really has a problem and wants help.
ReplyDeleteDD's probably just a dog, not an addict and so is supposedly "doing the right thing" before any news of his cheating gets out. AND it's a way to make amends to save his marriage.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an addiction to anything, but can I still sit in on his group therapy? I'll bring cookies :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW, was he the blind where the male celeb got the help pregnant and the couple were going to adopt a baby of a different ethnicity?
The first thing I thought when I read the news yesterday was "Hey - I think that's an answer to a BI". Thanks Enty!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Tea could kick his ass from here to Tuesday though. Those poor kids ... West is old enough to kind of understand what's going on.
I can believe this. Duchovney has always been slimey. Watch the movie New Years Day to see David talk about his sexual issues while he was in his 20s (the movie is largely improv but based on the actors themselves.) The guy is creepy.
ReplyDeleteI always thought DD would be a bad lay. Too smug, cold, uninvolved, yuck.
I thought it was well known he was a sex addict years ago, when Michael Douglas made it fashionable for 2 minutes. Maybe he denied it back then because Rehab wasn't a great way to get publicity like it is now.
ReplyDeleteThis is from and article:Téa herself talked about her husband’s alleged sex addiction on various occasions, but always denied it, as in a 1998 interview, when she stated: “David was accused of being a sex addict, which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn't true."
@ harriet, i'm with you. it's always been possible for people to view, get involved with, participate in, or hire someone for sex.
ReplyDeletecalifornication is one half step away from being rated nc-17. if he was an "addict" they couldn't film that show, they'd be literally hosing him and the set off every 10 minutes. kinda hard for a man to hide that kind of "addiction".
and when i heard that tidbit on the news today, i said out loud, "why, enty, you clever little minx!".
DD is still looking at me with that WTF? look. AND she brought me home tequila. but i knew this was at LEAST one blind!
Guys do you think David is the answer to this blind? After all The X-Files was out this summer. This is from Page Six:
ReplyDeleteWHICH hunk in a summer movie is a violent, closeted homosexual? The heartthrob snuck into his ex's apartment a few months ago and raped him so violently, the ex ended up in the hospital - and the actor paid him $500,000 to keep his mouth shut?
He was caught screwing a barely legal actress working on Californication, Tea said she didn't want her kids raised in Calfornia, that they would grow up soft - so she put the Malibu house on the market for almost 13mil - it was quietly sold to Mel Gibson.
ReplyDeleteSo I think this is the last ditch effort to keep his kids near him, and keep some of his X file money as well.
Cheaters sometimes really do have to pay big. Sex addiction is a last ditch effort to keep things together, will it work? Hmmm.
Sex addiction/compulsion is like alcoholism and demands treatment. Give the man credit for getting help.
ReplyDeleteAshlae, that BI may be Will Smith, I've read elsewhere.
"Mr. Duchovny, my name is Lorena Bobbitt and I'll be your addiction therapist."
ReplyDeleteMarch 18, 2008:
ReplyDelete#1 - This, by definition A list television actor, and B list film star is one of your favorites. He is also married with child/children and aging. Still one of your favorites though. He might not be for long though once the word of his new relationship with this up and coming gorgeous, very young, but legal C list actress poised to be B and higher and doing it in seemingly an instant.
Someone previously guessed DD and Madeleine Zima. I'm guessing this is one of the blinds that Ent can't reveal.
I've always wondered if he was that blind item about the bizarre extra security and how the women he had his "protection" pick up would sometimes freak out at all the conspiracy theory-like craziness of it all. I remember seeing him on the Today show during the X-Files promotions. He looked OUT of his mind, but I couldn't tell if it was a) sleep deprivation b) drugs or c) the crazy.
ReplyDeleteamster and ashlae -
ReplyDeleteOh No They Didn't had a post a while back with "sources" (yeah, no one knows how good they are) that it was Will Smith.
Yeah Joanna I did read that but who knows for sure since the source isn't reliable. I just thought it was interesting that DD is going in rehab for sex addiction when a few weeks ago this blind was posted (he did have a summer movie out). Something must have happened for him to go into rehab for that and I believe it's going to come out pretty soon.
ReplyDeletePS It would've surprise if Will Smith was the answer to the blind since all of a sudden he's friends with Tom. Still couldn't see him doing that though unless he was high on drugs. Sounds more like DD to me.
ReplyDeletewhat is a sex addict anyway?
ReplyDeleteif i want to have sex with 90% of the semi-attractive women i see does that make me one?
if i would act on that if offered by the 90% does that make me one?
if i want sex every day does that make me one?

slappywhyte, I've tried to get a handle on this sexual addiction stuff myself - actually, I don't really believe in it, but for what it's worth -
ReplyDeleteIt's described as a compulsion. In fact, sex addicts don't really enjoy the sex anymore (like drug addicts no longer enjoy the high) it's just something they have to do, constantly seek out sex, often in ways that destroy other aspects of their lives.
These supposed sex addicts are nervous or preoccupied during other activities as they calculate ways to get back on the porn sites soon, or prostitutes or whatever their "supplier" is. It isn't a fleeting thought, it is an obsession that destroys the enjoyment or participation in anything else.
In that sense, maybe it is an addiction. I'm still not buying it. I think that the sex is secondary, and that there is always a primary addiction (like drink or drugs), or anti-social personality pathologies, which is fueling the overall destructive behavior.
hahahaha! oh my god! he's gillian anderson's baby daddy! i knew it!i always knew there was something bw those two.
ReplyDeleteall x-files fans thought they shared *something* bc of their special chemistry. but never in my wildest dreams did i think gillian was pregnant with HIS baby when the pregnancy was announced. but it seems so clear now. think about it you guys:
1. she got pregnant on the set of the x-files
2. her bf was in england, gillian was in vancouver with david
3. tea was in the states, david was in vancouver with gillian
4. david apparently has a sex addiction. and we're to believe he was faithful to tea for all those months he was filming x-files and tea wasn't around?
5. look at gillian's bf mark griffiths. then look at duchovny.
6. where was tea at the x-files premiere in los angeles? like there's nothing suspicious about her not supporting her husband's major motion picture debut in their own backyard, but she's willing to drive to arizona to see him in rehab. okaaaay. she obviously didn't want to see gillian. i mean, "i don't feel like it today honey" isn't a good excuse for missing her husband's big movie. she didn't go to the premiere? she didn't go to the one in england either, but the one in LA? what the fuck?
oh my god, david is so the father of gillian's baby. i think every x-files fan just got their secret wish. except the show ended 6 yrs ago so i doubt as many people care. lol
