David Duchovny Seeks Treatment for Sex Addiction

On Showtime’s website for Californication, David Duchovny’s character (Hank Moody) is described as having three vices: drink, drugs and women. In real life, the married father is now admitting to one of his own: sex.
In a statement released by Duchovny’s lawyer, the X-Files star is shockingly open about his treatment for this private issue. While he didn’t (obviously) go into detail, the 48-year-old didn’t try to lie (like some musicians) about his situation either. (Then again, maybe Tea Leoni wouldn’t let him.)
“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.”

Realizing people weren’t buying his ‘my feet really hurt’ story, Steven Tyler has chosen to give honesty a try.
Back in May, the Aerosmith singer tried convincing the media that he was away seeking recuperation, not rehabilitation. Tyler said he was simply wanted time alone to recover from some surgeries. “I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
Now the musician - who has battled addiction before - admits he was receiving help for much more. Steven told the Associated Press that his treatment was for the what came after his procedures. “To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics. You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe [Perry, an Aerosmith bandmate], but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”
See, Steven? Now was that so hard?

Steven Tyler Sought Help for Feet, Not Drugs

Rumors
Does anyone actually think we believe this stuff?
First, Kirsten Dunst tried convincing us her rehab stint was solely about depression. (Word has it - Cirque doesn’t even offer treatment for that.) Now Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler would like us to think he’s seeking help for bad feet. Seriously.
While his reps did manage to confirm their client was away recovering, they blame his on-stage - not off-stage - antics for the excursion. Supposedly years of athletic movements have done a bit of damage to the 60-year-old rocker’s soles. After a series of painful surgeries, the musician for some reason then chose to rest in a rehab facility. Via a statement, Steven said, “I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
So is his home not a ‘safe’ place? Is he unable to turn off his ringer anywhere else? Was there not a groupie willing to help him?

Kirsten Dunst Opens Up About Depression

Although she was seen having a lot of fun earlier this year, Kirsten Dunst would like to make something clear: her visit to rehab had nothing to do with partying.
Dunst - who is currently filming All Good Things - spoke exclusively to E! about her recent stint at a popular treatment facility. The 26-year-old said she sought help for matters not related to substances. “I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression.”
While some had speculated that Heath Ledger’s death might have prompted her admittance, the actress says the decision was actually months in coming:
“It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”
Well, let’s hope Dunst was able to receive the help she needed. We’ve all seen how well Lindsay Lohan did after leaving the Lodge…

It’s no secret that Kelly Osbourne - and the Osbourne family, in general - has had problems with addiction. The reality star turned singer turned stage actress entered rehab back in 2004 after becoming addicted to painkillers. She then sought treatment again in 2006 after relapsing.
Earlier this year, Ozzy and Sharon’s daughter addressed her addictive personality with Fabulous magazine:
“Addiction is a gene. I was born an addict and I’ll always be an addict, but I’ve learnt to live with it. There are different levels of addiction, whether it be drugs, spending money, overeating, or painting your nails 17 times a day. It’s an addictive gene and you have it the rest of your life.”

Lindsay Lohan Liquors Up Again

Oh, Linds. Whatever are we going to do with you?
After a recently-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan was spotted drinking back in January, enablers of the star tried to come to her defense. At the time, a friend told the NY Daily News, “Lindsay is learning how to work through her addictions and, once in a while, she chooses to have a cocktail.” Well, it seems she needs to ‘work’ a bit harder.
According to People, the Georgia Rule actress has been spending a lot of time with her BFF Samantha Ronson lately. Unfortunately, to ‘hang out’ with a deejay, one is usually required to spend a lot of time in clubs. Very smart. Why don’t we just throw the girl in a liquor store?

Pat O’Brien Given Another Chance

Despite earlier reports that Pat O’Brien would be leaving his post on The Insider, it seems the show’s producers are being forced to return to square one.
For some time, it appeared that Donny Osmond was being groomed to be Lara Spencer’s new co-host. Unfortunately, the performer decided he didn’t want to commit to anything more than just an interim position. Realizing the entertainment program would not work with a solo anchor alone, the Insider‘s execs opted to give the recently rehabbed frontman one more try.
Come next Monday, we’ll get to see the refreshed Pat on air once again. What we won’t see is him standing next to Spencer. For the time being, O’Brien will do his share from Los Angeles while Lara continues her hosting duties from New York. Apparently keeping him in California is the best thing for his sobriety. (He really should be within driving distance of Promises.)

Rehab Star Cut Off

Where Are They Now?
Although she seemed very determined to quit her boozing ways, Mary Carey is apparently still having problems quitting the bottle altogether.
The former porn star was one of several celebrities who opened up about their troubled pasts on the recent season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Carey voluntarily checked herself in hoping to separate herself from that segment of the film industry and to stop her destructive drinking.
Unfortunately, the 27-year-old was reportedly seen downing a glass of wine in New York last week. When a member of a restaurant staff recognized her, she was later cut off. Despite her slip-up, Mary later claimed that she was “37 days” sober. (Apparently things made from grapes don’t count?)
While we’d like to think that she has been sober for longer (the show started airing in January), we sadly realize rehab stories do not all end well. Here’s to hoping that Carey’s recent incident was only just a minor bump on her road to good health.

In Hollywood, actors have been known to have many different types of relationships with their nannies. Jude Law had a short-lived fling that ultimately broke up his relationship with Sienna Miller. Ethan Hawke is set to be a father again with his kids’ former nanny. And then there’s Robin Williams. The actor not only ended marrying his former employer, he remained by her side for nineteen total years. Unfortunately, it looks like they won’t be making it to twenty.
After nearly two decades together, Marsha Garces Williams filed a petition for divorce in San Francisco last week. The woman who once worked for both Williams and his first wife, Valerie, slowly moved up the ranks in Robin’s life going from nanny to personal assistant to spouse. She later became his business partner as well when they co-founded Blue Wolf Productions.
