David Duchovny in rehab for sex addiction

Tbddavidduchovny090108 David Duchovny may have been using a little too much Method acting for his Showtime series Californication, in which he plays a sex-obsessed writer who can't keep a stable relationship. The 48-year-old actor has checked into rehab for sex addiction, the AP reports.

Following up a report first posted on People.com, Duchovny released a statement that said he checked in voluntarily, and added, "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family." Because we're pretty sure Tea Leoni isn't going to want to talk about what's going on.

Duchovny's lawyer and publicist both declined further comment, but Showtime was quick to say in a statement, "All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time."

Meanwhile, Californication is entering its second season, which begins on Sept. 28. Who knew it became a reality show?

He better be careful he may pop a nut. I would want to be a sex addict if my wife was Leoni also.

Educate yourself, tonka. Addictions are not about the alcohol, drug, or object of choice, it's about a core issue or issues that need to be addressed.

May they get the privacy every human being deserves in times of struggles, and may Grace lift them up.

His wife is adorable, and he's pretty cool, too. Here's hoping it all gets resloved in safety, privacy, and peace.

What a great show. Arguably the best on television. There's actually substance, unlike American Idol and all that crap.

Anyways, it'll be interesting to get some details on this. Was he bangin' someone else? Was it porn? Or could his wife just not keep up. C'mon Tea, do the guy. Throw him a bone and let him throw you one!
