In a case of life giving journalists the excuse to use the 'life imitating art' cliché, Californication actor David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for treatment for sex addiction - late capitalism's polio.
According to a statement he released through his lawyer, Duchovny committed himself voluntarily, adding 'I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.'
Given the kids are nine and six, hopefully they won't be required to pitch in with too many of the group therapy sessions, but we must wish David all the best with his recovery. Hey, come on – like the Will Ferrell character says in Blades of Glory: it's a real disease, with doctors and medicine and everything.
