Happy 34th Téa!!
Hey all!
Yesterday was Téa's birthday, and I hope she enjoyed it. I, and I'm sure all of us, wish Téa the very best and continuing happiness with David and Madelaine ("Westy"). You can check out the little b-day banner card I made on our main page.
More Tabloid Troubles.
special thanks to Kelli at the SPCDD for this official confirmation
" There are rumors being circulated by the National Enquirer that David and Téa's little girl, Madelaine, was in the hospital in a "life and death situation" for "a week". This is not true. Their publicist has stated publicly that it was just for 24 hours and only because she was running a high temp. David and Téa did what any parent would do, they took her in to the hospital to make sure she was fine. She was and they took her home. The Enquirer is just trying to sensationalize it and scare everyone. Don't believe them."-Kelli

David Speaks Out On Fatherhood-- and His Inclusion in the Landed Gentry!!
(also thank you to Kelli for this)
From an Interview by Eve Lawrence.(but we don't know from where!)
TV hunk David Duchovny has girl fans drooling at his feet. But he only has eyes for his wife and baby daughter Madeline. Since becoming a doting dad nine months ago, he has happily traded sex symbol status for nappies and sleepless nights. "Being a father is wonderful", beams the X-Files star. "Every day the baby changes. I can't wait to see who this person is going to become. I'm dying to talk to her and see who she is, but it won't be for a little while yet." David - Fox Mulder in the cult TV series - has firm ideas about how Madelaine should be brought up. "For a start, she's going to be sporty," he says. "All sports that boys play, girls can play too. I'd love her to play tennis, basketball or even baseball." He is eager to help his beautiful wife of two years, 33 year old actress Téa Leoni, whenever he can. But he says the role of a father is limited. "I love changing Madeline's nappies or putting her to bed or taking her for a walk," He admits. "But I'm pretty dispensable. Fathers feel useless when the baby is born. You can be there when she's happy and everything is great, but when she starts crying she needs that nipple!" While he wouldn't change fatherhood for the world, David admits he sometimes misses single life. "I miss the lack of responsibility where you can just go home, have a bowl of cereal and watch TV," he says. "You don't have to talk to anyone, you're not part of a team, you're just like a lone, injured dog that can go home and space out. "These days he is more than happy to snuggle up to his wife. But there was a time when living thousands of miles apart from each other made it impossible to start a family. "If you're having a relationship, it's always better to live in the same city or in the same house," he laughs. "There have been other fringe benefits. For instance, we now have a much smaller phone bill!" Buying a house in Malibu has been one of the biggest things in his life recently, and proof of his commitment to his marraige was playing a part in moving the X-Files set from Canada to Los Angeles. "I wanted to move the show because I was in love," Explains David. "Before buying the house, I'd never owned anything. I had a bicycle when I was younger, but my cars have been leased. "Once I had bought the house, I felt like part of the landed gentry. I love being able to sit in my hot tub, sunbathing - and, well, just living there exactly as I wish." Aside from marriage and fatherhood, one thing David is always asked is when Fox Mulder is going to get together with on-screen colleague Dana Scully - played by Gillian Anderson. "I don't think they will decide to get married and have kids before the end of this year," he grins. "I think it's already been too long. If we were to resolve it now it would be false. It would only be because the show is ending."

from the Haven
When is it most obvious to you that aliens live among us? Anytime you try to book an airline ticket or, for that matter, deal with any employee of an airline. Did that Bree Sharp song "David Duchovny" freak you out? I thought it was funny. Can you sing it for us? {sings}"David Duchovny, why won't you love me?"...then she says something about my nose. Here's a song saying wonderful things about me and then it says I have a Jewish nose. Just goes to show what you remember. What did your wife, Téa Leoni, think of it? First she said, " I wish I'd written you that song." And then she goes, "I wish somebody would write a song about me." So we wrote "Tea Leoni, Why Don't You Blow Me?" together. It's a beautiful tune. Amy comment: Well, at least we know they're having fun! ;) You're new parents: How do babies remind you of aliens? Well, you can see their hearts beating in their skulls, like those telepathic aliens you see on Star Trek. It's kind of terrifying, because you realize that little melon is very soft. Speaking of heart, in your new movie, Return to Me, you fall in love with Minnie Driver after she receives a heart transplant from your dead wife. Did some chick-flick supercomputer spit out that plot? Yeah, it may have. I like schmaltzy movies, but I hate schmaltzy movies as Hollywood makes them because they're so condescending. This one doesn't have that Movie of the Week sensibility. My favorite line is when, before the transplant, a character tells Minnie, "You're gonna date all these great guys." And Minnie says, "I'm getting a new heart, not a new ass." So the humor in it is more masculine then you'd expect from a chick flick. What transplant do you want? Legs from somebody who can jump really well. You're a big sports fan. If you could changes something about pro sports, what would it be? Besides being the 12th man on the Knicks, I guess I would stop all the stupid celebrating. In football you see guys doing the chicken dance after their first sack of the year-in the 10th game. I'm, like, "How the fuck do you get off? You're getting paid all this money, and you get one sack and you're going to celebrate?" What was your own greatest thrill of victory? There was one particular moment when I made a pass to win a high school basketball game. It was kind of mystical, like there was somebody tapping me on the shoulder and saying "Look in this direction." It seemed like things unfolded in slow motion and it all happened so perfectly. I'll always remember that slow motion feel. We've heard a lot about you graduating from Princeton and studying for your Ph.D. at Yale. But what's the dumbest thing you've ever done, Einstein? I'm really dumb mechanically. On one of my first dates with my wife, we got a flat tire. I got the tire out of the trunk, but she's actually really mechanical, so I kind of followed her lead. Like, you know, she would do something then I would rush in and do it, too. Everything was fine, but a few days later, she asks, "Have you seen my golf clubs?" I went, "Oh, fuck, yeah, they were on the side of the road when we changed the tire. Sorry." Amy comment: I was ROTFLMAO when I first read this!! But hey... he's still Einstein IMHO if that's the dumbest thing he's ever done! Have you ever used your brain power to invent anything? My big invention idea was the vomint. Say what? The vomint. Like when you belch and get a little throw-up? You need a mint for that, and I just decided vomint was a catchy word. Our world is so over compartmentalized, I think we need a mint for that specific case. Can you spot an X-Files geek headed your way? You actually never know. The best thing that happened recently was this middle-aged guy with his wife who got on an elevator with me at 6 a.m. I could tell he recognized me; then he said, "Good Morning, Doctor." I said, "What?" And he goes, "I love your show-ER." And I said, "Wrong show, idiot." I didn't mean to, but I just did, then realized he must've thought I was Noah Wyle. I'm going to tell that story on The Tonight Show, too, so don't think I'm an asshole for telling it again. Agent Mulder is a porn aficionado. Has this ever been a good excuse for research? Um, no. If I want to watch pornography, I don't need to make an excuse. No embarrassing rental stories? Before I was well known, I would've been just another lonely guy in the back section of the video store. {Laughs} Making those rounds. It takes about 50 times around that one aisle before you pick that special video... And you can't stand too close to another guy who's looking... I would like to do a study of conceptions of space between men in pornography aisles. It's triple what is normal if you're just standing in line at a theater. You're 65 and we find you speaking at an X-Files convention. What do we have the right to come up and say to you? Don't talk to me; just shoot me from a distance. And get the laser dot on my head, 'cause I want to go quickly.
As always, I am open to suggestions, comments, and questions anytime.
Just drop me a line.
