Tea Leoni Cancels Appearance At Toronto Film Festival

Actress Tea Leoni has announced the cancellation of her appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival, her rep has reported.

Leoni, and wife of actor David Duchovny, was to attend the premiere of her film "Ghost Town."

The cancellation comes after her husband David Duchovny checked himself into rehab for sex addiction, which the "Californication" star made public last week.

The celebrity couple was married in 1997 and has two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

Leoni is set to release her new movie "Ghost Town", starring Leoni as Gwen, Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear. The film is due in theaters September 19.

"Ghost Town" tells the story of Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When he dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts.

Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni).

David Duchovny Admitted To Rehab For Addiction To Sex

Wow, here is one you don't hear everyday in Hollywood.

We're all familiar with the constant stream of celebrities entering rehab for alcohol, drugs, and who knows what, but "X Files" star David Duchovny has checked himself in for an addiction to sex. Really?

The story was first reported by People Magazine on their website.

In a prepared statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein, Duchovny said he entered the rehabilitation center on his own, saying:

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny, 48, currently portrays the sex-obsessed character Hank Moody in the Showtime series "Californication", whose second season starts September 28. This must truly be a situation of life imitating art, or a huge publicity stunt.

Duchovny recently appeared in the film "The X Files: I Want to Believe" in July, starring alongside Gillian Anderson. He has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997, and the couple has two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd who is 6.

Duchovny does have an untitled television project in the works for later this year starring with A.J. Holyfield, where he plays a faculty member at a junior high school with an over-achieving student who turns his school's A.V. Club into a hard-hitting news show.

We knew things could get strange in Hollywood, and suspect there may be more to this story then we know at this point. We'll keep you in the loop as we learn more.
