Forget the truth, the youth is out there for X-Files star David Duchovny and wife Téa Leoni.
The two celebrated the birth of their first child this weekend. Appropriately enough, the kid has double-X chromosomes--in other words, it's a girl! The duo hasn't announced the child's name yet.
She was born Saturday in a Los Angeles-area hospital, tipping the scales at 7.5 pounds and measuring 20.5 inches. A publicist says all involved are "doing beautifully."
Duchovny, 38, and Leoni, 33, married in May 1997, his first, her second. The freshly minted father will remain steadily employed as FBI man Fox Mulder through the 1999-2000 TV season. Mom's credits include the 1998 death-from-above flick Deep Impact and the 1996 comedy Flirting With Disaster.
"X-FILES STAR ASSAILED FOR 'FAG' REMARK" From:Gillian & David, The Archives
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gay rights group Friday criticized ''X-Files'' star David Duchovny's use of the words "fag'' and ''pussy'' in a magazine interview.
"I always feel, when somebody calls you a star, it's like they're saying 'fag,''' Duchovny told Esquire magazine in its latest issue, adding, "You know what I hear when somebody says 'star'? I hear 'pussy.' I don't know why.'
The actor said it might have to do with the perks that go with being a celebrity, such as first-class seats on airplanes or easy entry at trendy restaurants.
"You're getting great service, sure, but in the end they're thinking 'pussy.' I know they are. They're thinking, 'He couldn't take it if he had to sit in coach,''' he said.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) said it was disappointed with the remarks. The media watchdog group nominated the actor for one of its media awards when, playing himself on "The Larry Sanders Show,'' Duchovny revealed a crush on host Garry Shandling.
"Mr. Duchovny's juvenile remarks stand in sharp contrast to some very clever, interesting and diverse roles we've seen him play in the last several years, and we are disappointed,'' said Joan Garry, GLAAD's executive director.
In the same interview, Duchovny, who is married to actress Tea Leoni (''Deep Impact'' and ``Wag the Dog'') and expecting a baby in May, also complains in the interview about doing publicity, saying "you're caught between a sound bite and a sentence.''
"Sentences are scary because you don't necessarily want to give that away ... it's your currency as an actor to remain hidden,'' he said.
"DUCHOVNY EQUATES STINGINESS WITH JUDAISM" From: E! Online.
The thing is, David Duchovny just doesn't care. You think he's a miscreant? Doesn't care. Hate his nose? Doesn't care. Want to shove a pineapple grenade up his tailpipe? Doesn't care. The X-Files star continues his storied tradition of not caring in the May Esquire, and it's glorious. Offensive, but glorious. "I always feel," Duchovny begins, "when somebody calls you a star, it's like they're saying fag. You know what I hear when somebody says star? I hear pussy." Duchovny then goes on to explain, "Maybe the best things about celebrity are the things like being able to get that seat on the plane that you wouldn't normally get, but that's kind of like cheating. You're getting good service, sure, but in the end they're thinking: pussy. I know they are." You can send hate mail to Duchovny at 20th Century Fox. But guess what--he just won't care.

Just thought I'd let ya know (if you don't know already)that Gillian is in the 1999 Guiness Book of World Records for having the biggest cult TV following. Here's what it says: "Gillian Anderson, who stars as Agent Dana Scully in the X-files, is one of the most popular TV stars of the 1990s. Pictured left with co-star David Duchovny, Anderson was voted the world's sexiest woman in 1996 by more than 10,000 readers of the British magazine FHM. She earns 58,000 per episode and signed a 6.6 million deal to star in the movie spinoff The X-files (1998)."
"SHOCKING NEWS!" From: The Official X-Files Magazine
Below, is some absolutely startling news about Gillian Anderson that could end the X-Files before next season! I just noticed this article in my Official X-Files magazine and thought that I should probably inform you all of this. Here is the following article that I found in the magazine:
"Few X-Philes ever get to meet their idols from their favorite television show, The X-Files, now even fewer will get to meet at least one of them. Gillian Anderson, who plays Agent Dana Scully on the show, has reportedly decided to quit her role in the series as Agent Scully after season six. Many fans would have never guessed that Gillian would be the first to want to weasel out of her contract after all of David Duchovny (Agent Fox Mulder)'s complaints and preparations for his child with wife, The Naked Truth's Tea Leoni. But now the truth be known, Duchovny will be staying while Anderson will leave the show. Anderson was quoted saying this: 'It's been a long 6 years, I've loved every minute of it but it's just so tiring. I want to finish the season and spend time with my family and take off for a small island in the Bahamas' called "LIRPA SLOOF". I just want to live my life for a while and if Chris (Carter) wants me to come back for some more movies I'll try to do it but I hear LIRPA SLOOF is very nice this time of year.' Well where ever this "LIRPA SLOOF" place is we just hope that Gillian will be happy there." Shocking isn't it?

"Unnatural" X-Files Episode Info From: Cinescape
Regular Insider readers and X-Philes know that David Duchovny is set to write and direct an upcoming episode of the acclaimed sci-fi series. Thanks to a lead from regular tipster 'TomBli', the Insider called up Fox to confirm some possible information regarding the Duchovny-helmed installment. What is presented here could be considered a SPOILER for any of you who would rather not know any details of the episode before it airs. Read about it by clicking here.
CHEERS AND JEERS From: TV Guide
JEERS to a difficult delivery. In "Agua Mala" (February 21), the enjoyable X-Files episode in which a hurricane hits Florida's Gulf Coast, Scully (Gillian Anderson) is called upon to help a pregnant woman who has gone into labor in the middle of the storm. The intrepid FBI agent admits that this is her first brush with obstetrics. Her inexperience shows. As Scully begins to coach the woman through the birth, you can clearly see that the patient is wearing pants. We lack medical training, but it seems to us there must be an easier way.
SWEEPING QUESTIONS From: Entertainment Weekly
Q: Let's put it this way, Huh?
A: Going into sweeps, "X-Files" producers promised to tell all. And, says exec producer Frank Spotnitz, "the conspiracy has been smashed." True, the Syndicate is dead. But...why do the faceless aliens care if the black oil takes over the Earth? "What their agenda is, other than self-defense," says Spotnitz, "is not yet clear." Then why did they steal the alien fetus? "The fetus is extremely important," says Spotnitz. "But what they'll do with it is something we have yet to deal with." And why did the black oil need help in the first place? Says Spotnitz, "What the black oil intended to do with Earth, and what life would be like postcolonization is something we've never tried to answer." Whew! Good thing we got that cleared up.
DAVID DUCHOVNY'S GUILTY PLEASURES From : TV Guide
Got a weakness for "Can't Smile Without You?" You're in good company: So does David Duchovny.
"I love Barry Manilow. He's so schmaltzy," the X-Files star says in Jump magazine's round-up of celebrity guilty pleasures. "I also used to watch Melrose Place."
Hey, it could be weirder: NewsRadio star Andy Dick has a Burt Reynolds fetish. "As a teenager, I just loved that Smokey and the Bandit movie. I loved the Trans Am he drove, and I always thought that if I made it big some day, I would buy one and live that movie."
And then there's Drew Barrymore. "For a while," she says, "I really got into those Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry movies. It's just so hilarious when he's telling some punk to make his day. My other guilty pleasures are macaroni and cheese from a box, necking in the back of movie theaters and pajamas with feet like I had when I was a kid." — Susan Campbell Beachy
CHRIS CARTER ON "X-FILES" FUTURE From: Ultimate TV
Chris Carter still has plenty to say about his hit FOX show "The X-Files," even after the show has apparantly revealed many of its secrets during a two-part "Full Discosure" arc during February Sweeps. During a chat with TV Guide, Carter said there would definitely be a second "X-Files" movie, and that there's still plenty for "The X-Files" to uncover.
"There will be a second X-Files movie as far as I am concerned. But it won't be on this summer's hiatus. It seems like the actors are very excited to do it. It's just a matter of finding the time, and I think it would either come out in the summer of 2001 or possibly 2002. It would have been great to culminate the series and go right into the next big movie. I think there will be a year, or possibly two years in between."
Carter also confirmed that he believes that "The X-Files" will end next season.
"Most likely we will wind it down at the end of year seven. You are going to see the TV series become the movie series."
"The X-Files" stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on FOX.

"ALIENS CHASING AGENTS TO MAKE THEIR X-IT" From: Sydney Sunday Telegraph Magazine
The X-Files, on television at least, looks like it's a goner after the year 2000.
"Right now, everyone is prepped up for the seventh year to be the end of X-Files," said creator and executive producer Chris Carter. "I think we're all shooting for that."
Carter said an eighth season could happen, but he is not anticipating it. After its TV run, Carter plans to keep the show alive via periodic feature films. Last year's first X-Files movie, Fight The Future, grossed $200 million worldwide.
"It's a successful movie. That means we'll do another movie" Carter said.
X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are contractually signed through next season. After that, both actors have movie careers waiting for them, Carter said.
"HEADING FOR THE X-IT?" From : E!Online
The world of The X-Files is a world where the truth lies, and lies are likely to be true.
And in the first installment Sunday (FOX, 9 p.m.) of the two-part "Two Fathers and One Son" story arc, The Truth--or at least another big chunk of it--will at last be revealed.
A couple things we know for sure: Agent Spender's abducted mom figures prominently in the mix, and Cigarette Smoking Man (CSM) is not just a bad guy, he's maybe the bad guy.
Of course, if Internet innuendo and the opinion of series star David Duchovny are to be believed, CSM may turn out to play another important role in the whole conspiracy theory.
As in: Fox Mulder is to CSM as Luke Skywalker is to Darth Vader.
But again, this is all conjecture. No one is certain of anything ("trust no one," remember), and, as was the case with last summer's X-Files flick, any secrets revealed always seem to prompt another set of questions.
Still, we're true believers. We know the truth is out there, so this Sunday find your living room and get in there.
"'FILES' ENDS CONFUSION WITH 4-STAR X-ELLENCE" From: New York Post
THE truth, which has been dribbled out there since "The X-Files" made paranoia hip, comes together in a two-parter that manages to ratchet up the suspense even as it answers many of our questions about who's been conspiring with whom to do what. And why.Of course, we can't tell you much of what we now know, because Fox would have to kill us.
That's Fox Broadcasting, not Fox Mulder. Fox Mulder is now in the unenviable position of having been granted what he wished for.
Now he, like others before him, will have to make some painful decisions about what to do with what he knows.
It is certain that he will have to do one thing that others before him have done: buy time.
Can he do it without selling his soul? Without turning into the Cigarette Smoking Man, who, it seems, has been tinkering with Mulder's destiny since that mythical incident at Roswell in the '40s?
Until he has found Samantha, the sister whose abduction turned him into the sexiest of all conspiracy geeks, is Mulder emotionally and ethically capable of juggling greater goods and lesser evils?
Creator Chris Carter and co-executive producer Frank Spotnitz wrote the episodes that, this weekend and next, neatly take The Mythology - as the stories advancing the conspiracy are known - to the next level.
We are less confused.
But we are doomed (and content) to remain mystified until this season's multi-part cliffhanger about the huge questions that automatically flow from the answers served up in the upcoming episodes titled "Two Fathers" and "One Son."
We pick up Sunday with an extreme closeup of Cassandra Spender (Veronica Cartwright), who had been abducted, and not for the first time, nearly a year ago.
She is oozing green goo after being cut on by doctors who will be torched by the faceless aliens, who make a point of sparing Cassandra, the mother of suck-up agent Jeffrey Spender (Chris Owens).
Mulder, who has been sulking and developing a case of the hip-hops while playing pickup basketball games with guys who call him "Milk" - "I got game," he tells Scully, but "I'm ready to J-O-B" - is drawn back into the X-Files from which he was exiled because of Cassandra's reappearance.
Cassandra, "patient zero," is the key to the puzzle, and not just because her story over the last 25 years parallels Samantha's.
Cassandra is willing to do what "Smokey," as Mulder calls him, and the others in the syndicate were not.
Now that nearly all has been revealed to him - including the duplicity of Diana (Mimi Rogers) and the truth about the black oil and the vaccine and Roswell and his father - what will Mulder be willing, or able, to do?
As the Smoking Man says in a narrative-confession:"Mulder...was fueled now with names and dates and certainties. I couldn't stop him any longer."
But he sure will try.
And, as always, who-o-o-o-oa unto those who try to stop HIM.
While talking to the TV Gen website, X-Files creator Chris Carter revealed some of his plans for the future of The X-Files series and franchise.
When asked about a second movie, Carter answered, "There will be a second X-Files movie as far as I am concerned. But it won’t be on this summer’s hiatus. It seems like the actors are very excited to do it. It’s just a matter of finding the time, and I think it would either come out in the summer of 2001 or possibly 2002. It would have been great to culminate the series and go right into the next big movie. I think there will be a year, or possibly two years in between."
Carter then added that "[n]ext year is probably the last year of The X-Files. Most likely we will wind it down at the end of year seven. You are going to see the TV series become the movie series."
Carter also responded, somewhat more candidly than one might expect, about specific details of what we can expect in the "Two Fathers/One Son" story. In particular, Carter revealed some information regarding Fox Mulder and the Cigarette Smoking Man.
"You will learn a lot about why Agent Mulder is who he is, and this pursuit that he has," reveals the producer. "You'll learn that he was born into it. It's not necessarily something that he chose. It may have been chosen for him."
So, what about CSM? "You are going to learn a lot about the Cigarette-Smoking Man. He will come out of the woodwork to explain a lot, actually. He becomes, in a way, a narrator of the last 50 years. You'll learn what The X-Files is all about."
