In the wake of the news that her longtime husband, David Duchovny, has checked into rehab for a sex addiction, Tea Leoni has cancelled her scheduled appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new movie, Ghost Town.

And it’s easy to say that she did this because she doesn’t want to deal with the questions about her husband, but you know her publicist would have been very fucking clear with the journalists that they were to ask no questions about her personal life. No, what she’s actually doing is a huge favor to journalists, whose heads may have exploded if they had to sit in a room with Tea Leoni right now and keep a straight face while chatting with her for fifteen minutes about some fucking movie. “So, what was it like working with director David Koepp? Uh-huh, uh-huh. And, um, I’ve heard Greg Kinnear can be quite the prankster on set. Did you experience any of that firsthand? Yeah? Really? And, so, then, what’s it like being married to a total perv for eleven years? I mean, exactly how many STDs do you think you have at this point? I’m sorry, Tea. What I meant to say was, uh, what attracted you to this project?”

It would have been such a farce.
