The truth is out there, whether we want it or not.

David Duchovny has checked into rehab to undergo treatment for sex addiction, E! News has confirmed.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," Duchovny said in a statement released Thursday by his attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The 48-year-old X-Files star—who, ironically, won a Golden Globe this year for playing an over-sexed struggling writer on Showtime's Californication—has been married to Téa Leoni since May 1997. They have two children together, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," Richard Licata, the network's executive VP of Corporate Communications, said in a statement to E! News.

The Lohan family has suffered a loss.

Richard Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's paternal grandfather, died Thursday after a battle with colon cancer, E! News has confirmed.

In an interview Tuesday, dad Michael Lohan told E! that his 73-year-old father's declining health as the "real reason" he wasn't making a big deal out of his recent engagement to longtime girlfriend Erin Muller.

Richard had been in failing health for some time, with Michael saying in March that the cancer had spread to his lungs. Lindsay had made plans to visit her granddad, who was hospitalized in Long Island, N.Y., over the Easter holiday.

And although arrangements surely have to be made, Michael still managed to use the opportunity to take another swipe at ex-wife Dina Lohan, who he has publicly accused of being a "two-face" for supposedly fretting about Lindsay's lifestyle around him and then acting as if everything is fine-and-dandy around their daughter.

Is that a wedding ring Halle Berry is wearing?

Because we're just saying, you know, we didn't get our invite to the ceremony. If there was one. Sure, we know she's been busy as a new mom, but she can still get in touch. We're around.

Of course, it could just be a friendship ring, right? She seems like she'd be a really good friend.

What do you think? Your guesses below.

We've always said we'd follow Charlize Theron to the ends of the earth, but she seems to have taken us up on the offer.

Just days ago, she was adding some oomph to the stump speeches at the Democratic National Convention by talking up her beau Stuart Townsend's new film, Battle in Seattle, about the World Trade Organization riots in 1999.

But today, she turned up for a screening at the Venice Film Festival. Which, when you think about it, does makes sense for an actress. Here she is at the Guggenheim Museum for a documentary about the legendary designer Valentino. Want more? Check out our gallery below.

Politics, fashion, riots. She does it all. But where will she be next?

The German studio that has helped Tom Cruise jump over the various hurdles involved in filming in Deutschland wants to help the actor avoid yet another big headache.

The head of Studio Babelsberg AG, which is coproducing Valkyrie with Cruise's United Artists, said Thursday that it has proposed a settlement to 12 extras who want $11 million to cover injuries they say they suffered when a side panel of an old military truck they were riding in fell off.

The 12 angry men, who reportedly were left with injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to pulled ligaments and broken bones, have sent a letter to United Artists demanding compensation and threatening legal action.

Meanwhile, it was sister company Achte Babelsberg Film GmbH, that hired the extras, according to Studio Babelsberg president and CEO Charles Woebcken.

Even Batman gets tired.

The Dark Knight grossed $986,453 yesterday, the first time the supreme summer blockbuster had failed to make at least $1 million in a single day.

The movie, already Hollywood's No. 2 all-time grosser at the domestic box office, is expected to rally this weekend, and bring its overall total to an epic $500 million.

Through Wednesday, its 41st day in release, The Dark Knight had grossed $492.7 million.

At the same point in its run in 1998, Titanic, Hollywood's reigning domestic champ, had grossed $280.2 million.

Any appearance that The Dark Knight is winning the race with Titanic, however, is deceiving.

Mackenzie Phillips can start taking it one day at a time on the outside.

Having spent the night in the slammer following a drug bust, the former sitcom star was released from Van Nuys Jail Thursday at 2:30 p.m. after posting $10,000 bail, E! News has confirmed.

The 48-year-old actress-singer was brought to the facility Wednesday and booked on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance after admitting to officers she had a "drug problem"—and was found to be holding small amounts of both cocaine and heroin while trying to get through security at Los Angeles International Airport.

Along with the requisite handful of bail bondsmen, Phillips received a visit in jail from half-sister Bijou Phillips and Bijou's boyfriend, Danny Masterson, yesterday afternoon.
