Duchovny & Leoni Split Again

Hollywood couple David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have split just two years after reconciling following the actor's sex addiction admission.

The X-Files star and Leoni separated in 2008 after 11 years of marriage as Duchovny underwent treatment for his sex issues.

They reunited a year later.

Duchovny insisted the rough patch was the "best thing" that could have happened for his marriage.

But the pair has decided to separate again, according to TMZ.com. A source tells the website the couple has not decided whether or not to file for divorce.

It is not known what caused the latest split.

Duchovny and Leoni have two children - a 12-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son.

Behind the Scenes with 'The Walking Dead'

by tiffany_devol@xfilesnews.com (Tiffany Devol - Content Director)

The Walking Dead returns this fall with what will prove to be a killer season 2! The show did so well in its 6-episode first season that AMC is bringing it back this fall for a 13-episode second season!

That is great news for Walking Dead fans who will have waited for a year to find out what has happened to Rick Grimes and his band of survivors after the explosive season finale.

According to TV Guide this morning, The Walking Dead is also getting a new cast member and Laurie Holden will no longer be the only X-Files alum on board.

Pruitt Taylor Vince, known to X-Files Fans as Gerry Schnauz in "Unruhe," has landed the role of Otis.

"According to the graphic novels on which The Walking Dead is based, Otis is a rather easygoing but racist survivor who, with his girlfriend Patricia, took refuge at Wiltshire Estates until it was overrun by zombies. They later flee to Herschel's Farm, where they meet with Rick Grimes and his band of survivors under less than optimal circumstances." - TV Guide

While season 2 will not premiere until the fall, AMC is giving you a hilarious first look with this behind-the-scenes video from their first day of shooting.

Thanks to Kelly for the heads up!

After the girls open the door for David:
"It's the one from Hollyowood you see every day! I am dead!"
"My future Husband!"
"I told you the trip to Amuka Will pay off!" (Amuka is a religous place in Israel, singles sometimes visit to get a blessing in order to find a future husband or wife).
David: "Girls, you really pushing it! Instead of being in my best friend's wedding I am here all day in your TV!"
The Girls: "Listen..me and my partner got Hot triple (It's a special offer by the cable company named Hot) and we got a sound system!"
"I can't stop seeing you!"
"In the sound system he sounds better..."
David: "You are going to pay for this!"

The Girls: "Pay what? it's a benefit!"
The girls then ask David to break the glass, and one of the girls says, "You are a witness!" (In Jewish weddings, the groom always breaks the glass in the end of the cermony)
David (in Hebrew and in a funny accent): "Enjoy from every moment!"

Featured Video- XF3 Army_Uprising

Featured Video- XF3 Army_Uprising

by tiffany_devol@xfilesnews.com (Tiffany Devol)

The bee is back again!

This week's featured video is brought to you by Yellowbee and is the latest in a series of campaign videos for a third X-Files feature film as part of the XF3 Army Believe in the Future Campaign.

Uprising is a departure from Yellowbee's normal style of vidding but that doesn't mean it isn't every bit as good or better than what you know of the bee. With clips from all 9 seasons and both feature films, Uprising is a paranoia infused joyride with a song meant for Mulder and Scully.
