Here's the other one I mentioned...sorry if it may have already been
posted...I just had to prove a point. DD is just as much addicted to sex
as he made wild passionate love to Gill. 'Kay? Kay.

>From Woman's Day, May 6, 1996.


It's the sizzling fling Gillian and David wanted to keep secret - but the
X-Files stars know the truth is right here.

The bosses of The X-Files may have slapped a lifetime ban on a screen love
affair between stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny - but the
pressure of two unknowns being thrown into the TV big-time led to the pair
into a secret fling in real life.

Our exclusive investigation reveals sultry Gillian, 27, fell for her hunky
co-star after confessing her fear of failing.

She begged David, 35, to help her conquer her chronic inability to learn
lines. And, as the two spent long hours late at night studying the bizarre
sci-fi scripts, it was inevitable that they fell for each other, say
sources close to the series.

Gillian went from nowhere to the world's cult sweetheart thanks to the
wacky show. But her background is as weird and mysterious as the Scully
character she plays on the paranormal and UFO series.

A three-month probe into the private life she tries to keep so secret has
uncovered sources and associates who reveal Gillians tortured, troubled
past.

"It happened one night when they were working late at Gillian's house" says
an insider. "She was upset because she had blown a lot of scenes that day.

Gillian was crying and David was trying to comfort her. "He told me that
the next thing he knew, they were kissing."

"Then, all the frustration and tension from working 16-hour days came
spilling out and they just fell into bed and made passionate love."

The relationship began two years ago when the series was new and the stars
were living away from friends and family in Vancouver. But with their jobs
on the line if producers found out, the affair was doomed to be
short-lived.

"They were both terrified it would leak out. Gillian and David were getting
their big chance and producers didn't want any distractions," says the
source.

"Gillian is rebellious and impulsive and wanted to continue the romance.

But David is more serious and saw that they didn't have a long-term future.

"He realised pretty early it wasn't worth the risk."

David called off the love match after they were nearly found out. According
to the source, a unit assistant director called at Gillian's home late one
night to deliver a revised script and almost caught them together.

"Gillian was upset, but they knew they had to part on good terms for the
sake of the show and their careers," the source reveals.

"She told a friend: 'I was so green and desperately needed someone to lean
on and David was wonderful. It was pretty intense, but it was never going
to be for keeps. We are too different'."

Gillian and David have always steered clear of questions about their
relationship. Gillian especially, is intensely private about her past and,
to this day, the producers still haven't been told about the co-stars'
affair.

"They were suspicious once when David and Gillian did a magazine photo
shoot together and both were topless," says the source.

The photos - for Rolling Stone - should have rung alarm bells, but it
didn't.

"Gillian's bare breasts were snuggled against David's chest and she looked
quite blissful," the source adds.

"Producer Chris Carter saw them and couldn't believe it. He knows just how
shy Gillian is.

"To expose her breasts to her co-star like that was very intimate. But he
didn't quite add up what it meant."

The couple are now more like brother and sister and are almost inseparable.
And there's another good reason for their close bond.

Unlike the meticulous Scully, Gillian is incredibly impulsive. After her
breakup with David, she rebounded into the arms of crew member Clyde Klotz,
33, an art director.

* I think this is a little stupid. Rebound? Gillian isn't *stupid*,
and I highly doubt she's _marry_ someone on the "rebound"...

Just four months later they rushed off to Hawaii without telling anyone and
got married on New Year's Day on the 17th hole of a golf course.

But it was Gillian's unplanned pregnancy that created the biggest dilemma
of her career.

She was so terrified she'd blown her job that she strongly considered
abortion, telling one associate: "I thought they would re-cast me."

"They were unhappy I'd married Clyde without telling anybody."

"He wasn't invited back to work on the show after that."

"I knew I had to make a decisionabouut whether or not I wanted the baby."

The source says Gillian considered terminating the pregnancy because she
couldn't see how she'd have time for her baby and her busy work schedule.

"She had nobody to talk to for advice - except David."

"One day she walked into his trailer, burst into tears and said, 'I'm
having a baby. They're going to fire me'."

"She says, 'I thought David was going to faint. Then he asked me whether
the baby was a good thing, I told him I thought it was. He said I had to
tell Chris Carter - but not right away'."

David convinced Gillian that having an abortion was not the solution. For
weeks, the two conspirators kept silent until the shows ratings had risen
dramatically and David calculated that the producers could not fire her
without incurring the wrath of her increasing fan club.

The insider says: "It was a good plan because, when she confessed, Chris
Carter went nuts. he wanted to fire her immediately."

"But they were in the middle of a complicated extended plot and couldn't."

"Also David secretly went to see him and said he would resign if Gillian
was fired. In the end they worked out a plan which would allow her just
10 days off work to have a baby."

* I have to say, I think this is all total bs.

But the plan came close to backfiring tragically when Gillian needed to
have a painful Caesarean birth and was ordered to rest for three weeks.

"She was so worried about not letting people down that she insisted coming
back after 10 days," the source reveals. "There was a lot of pressure on
her because in the plot she had been abducted by aliens and her character
was due to escape."

"But she was in no condition to return. She was in constant pain and trying
to nurse her new daughter, Piper."

"She still had stitches and risked Haemorrhaging. She hid the pain but at
night she'd collapse in agony."

"Now executives have got used to Piper [Her daughter] being on the set and
she's like a little mascot."

Some cast and crew however, are wary of mixing with Gillian. For, unlike
Scully, the star is a firm believer in the paranormal and UFO's - because
she is a psychic herself who has experience terrifying encounters with
ghosts and spirits ever since she was a teenager.

* Actually, the crew *loves* her, they'd bend over backwards for her.
Unlike David...

"Weird things seem to happen to her," says an associate.

"Before she was pregnant she was at a party and a fortune teller told her
she was having a little girl."

"Gillian laughed - but the next day she started feeling nauseous on set. It
was morning sickness."

In another incident, soon after moving into her new home with Clyde,
Gillian began saying she felt they were not alone. She went to a native
Indian spiritualist to ask his advice, and he told her she lived near an
ancient burial ground and that the spirits were calling to her.

"He came over to our house and performed a ritual called smudging, using
burning herbs," she told a friend.

"Afterwards it was like the place was at ease and whatever i had felt
before was gone."

"Sometimes these things happen to me. I am able to feel things that people
are thinking. We know so little about the brain there must be vast amounts
of power we don't know how to utilise, except by accident."

Gillian reveals that as a teen she terrified a boyfriend after giving him a
strange black marble she had found.

Later on the phone, he asked her to guess where he put it.

"Without thinking, I said, 'You took off the lid of one of your cologne
bottles abd put it in the neck'."

"And he went quiet and said: 'Oh my God, that's exactly what I did'."

Often, the star seems to be able to read people's minds and she's
demonstrated this ability with chilling effect on spooked X-Files cast and
crew members.

She's also gulty of a macabre sense of humour and loves collecting dead
insects and abbatoir animal parts to send to friends. At school she tortured
teachers by putting pig eyes from biology class in their desks - and, in
one X-Files episode, the cast watched horrified as she coolly ate a
grasshopper.

"Our special effects team had made an artificial one from sugar but she
insisted on eating the live one," says a crew member. "People were feeling
sick but they just laughed. Gillian's really weird sometimes."

According to friends, Gillian is withdrawn and introverted like her Scully
character and blames this on a tortured childhood.

They say the Chicago-born actress was once an out-of-control teen punk
erocker hwo dabbled in hard drugs, dyed her hair green and wore a nose
stud. She was into violence and injuring herself as a way to seek
attention.

"She told me she fell into the punk scene when she was 14 and her family
moved to London," says a friend.

"I think Gillian was feeling neglected because her mother and father were
heavily into their careers."

"She hid her nose stud by walking around her father sideways. They were
fighting all the time over how late she stayed out and the company she
kept. Her friends were into experimenting with drugs and she was a
ringleader."

A friend recalls: "The worst thing for her parents were when Gillian
started dating a 24-year old guy. He was 10 years her senior and treated
her badly."

"He used her as a servant really and demanded she supply him with booze."

"Gillian was so much in love that she actually stole food, drink and money
from her own parents to give to this creep. he was a so-called poet and she
was enthralled by the garbage poetry he would spout to her. But mostly he
was stoned and broke."

"She lost her virginity to him at 14. She was just a kid but didn't want to
be the only virgin in her group. She regrets it today."

"This guy was really controlling and lied to her all the time. Her family
were very liberal, but they could see Gillian was heading for a crisis.
They dragged her back to America and she shaved her head into a Mohawk and
carried on the punk lifestyle for three years."

Gillian also attended punk concerts where she scared friends by plunging
into thrashing "mosh pit" sessions, where dancers crash into each other.

"She thought it was cool to hurt herself," says the friend.

"She had a lot of anger which she relieved this way. Sometimes she'd come
off the dance floor with busted lips and a bleeding nose."

"Gillian suffered from low esteem at the time and today she believed that
inflicting pain was a way of punishing herself."

The whole experience affected the star so badly that, these days, violence
repulses her and she campaigns against domestic abuse.

The friend remembers one incident in a bar when she overheard an angry man
discussing what he was going to do to a cheating girlfriend.

"Suddenly Gillian just stood up, rushed to the bathroom and threw up. She
just couldn't handleit all and had to leave," says the friend.

But the diminutive star was "saved" after catching the acting bug while at
school in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

She had been such a wild child that teachers dismissed her as backward.

But after finding her vocation, her grades zoomed - and school staff were
stunned in IQ tests when she scored a genating.

They tried to persuade her to become a marine biologist and for years
Gillian went along with the idea.

But another impulsive romance took her to Hollywood. Friends day she
became obsessed with a man and followed him to Los Angeles, arriving at his
apartment unannounced and carrying her entire belongings.

Unfortunately, her unconventional looks got her nowhere at auditions and
she had to scrape by with menial jobs and unemployment cheques.

At one stage she became severely depressed because she found herself
competing agains the legions of gorgeous model-type actresses who flock to
the US film capital.

Says another close friend: "Her confidence was dented and she really let
herself go. Her weight ballooned and she wore dirty clothes."

"At one stage, she tried to turn herself into what Hollywood wants by dying
her hair blonde and piling on makeup."

* Uh, her hair is naturally blonde...

"But Gillian just looked ridiculous and she knew it. She looked like a
brainy girl trying to be a bimbo."

"It was so funny that even she laughed at herself and did an hilarious
bimbo routine."

"Thank goodness The X-Files came along, because her looks are hard to
cast."

Today, of course, Gillian's ultra-reserved image as Scully is proving a big
turn-on for male computer nerds and science freaks.

She has the biggest internet following of any woman on the internet - along
with her own fan club of lovesick male fans, called the Gillian Anderson
Testosterone Brigade. Thousands of drooling male fans, known as X-Philes,
also flock to the conventions where the actress earns $30,000 for an
appearance.

Gillian has also received some weird fan mail - including a jigsaw puzzle
that reduced her to blushes.

"Gillian thought that it was from a young child fan."

"But when she finished the jigsaw in her trailer, it was a picture of some
smirking guy... absolutely stark naked," says the friend.

"She screamed in shock, but insisted on piecing together the man's private
parts until the very end."

"Then everyone laughed and Gillian packed the puzzle up and mailed it to
her mum."

* Sounds a bit like the puzzle that David got...

Oh, how hard to laugh. I hadn't seen this article before, but I am ashamed that
Woman's Day is Australian - if this is the Australian version. Just goes to show
how much crap these people make up.

Chris Carter, as most would know, was IN half the photos taken for Rolling Stone.
Goes to show how much research WD did.

I wonder how many letters WD received about it.. <grin>

Well, this was indeed an intriguing article. In-depth reporting at its
finest. However, a couple of vital points were left out. In the interest
of journalistic accuracy, I would like to add a few things:

1. Most significantly, the article neglected to mention that David is
actually Piper's father. She married Clyde because she didn't think David
would make a suitable father due to his pornography background.

2. Chris Carter actually *did* find out about David and Gillian's affair
and, in an ugly scene, he hung by his toes out Gillian's bedroom window
and threatened to jump if she didn't leave David and come home to him
instead.

3. Piper is betrothed to the "I made this" kid.

4. When David's dog, Blue, found out about the impending marriage of Piper
and the "I made this" kid, she hung by her toes out Piper's bedroom window
and threatened to jump if Piper didn't leave the "I made this" kid and
come home with her instead. She was hysterical and could be consoled only
by Gillian's dog, Cleo, who has since become her illicit lover.

5. Gillian is indeed psychically gifted, but the article forgot to mention
that the reason for this is her contract with the Devil, Lucifer himself,
forged years ago when she used to listen to all that devil music. As a
result of this pact she has become famous and was also given psychic
powers. In return, however, she is must endure the constant torment of the
Devil, who appears at each interview/press function she gives in the form
of a reporter asking the question, "Do you and David have the same beliefs
about UFOs and the parnormal as your characters?" (or, alternatively, "Are
the X-Files based on real cases?")

6. Gillian's given name is actually "Gilligan." She changed it to
"Gillian" to spite her parents, who had given her the name in honor of her
mother's Great Uncle Gilligan, during her rebellious punk years. Her
middle name, which she changed to "Leigh" during her stormy affair with
filmmaker Spike Lee, is actually "Endora."

7. David's given name is "Morty." He changed it to "David" when he was
working on his master's degree at Yale, where he discovered the joys of
alliteration. He also has a fetish for the letter "D," and sometimes
chants his initials over and over again to soothe himself. The song "De Do
Do Do, De Da Da Da" by the Police sends him into a frenzy of ecstasy. It
is Gillian's favorite song to play during their frequent passionate
lovemaking sessions.

8. Gillian has fetishes of her own. A crew member recalls the day she
filmed a scene with a bunny-fur-covered fake attacking kitty cat. "She was
*so* into it," the source reveals. "She kept going, 'Yes! Yes! Let's do it
again!' We had about fifty takes by the time she was satiated, even though
the first one was just fine." Gillian enjoyed the titillating sensation of
the bunny fur going up her nose so much that, when the scene was over,
David took the bunny-fur-covered fake attacking kitty cat home with him to
use in his frequent passionate lovemaking sessions with Gillian.

9. Since giving birth to Piper, Gillian has had several more children as
well. Her ability to give birth to them in such a short amount of time is
due to her pact with the Devil. Fathers of her children include such
people as Chris Carter, Rob "Pizzaboy" Bowman, Darin Morgan, John Tesh,
Fabio, Batman and Alanis Morissette. The children have all been
confiscated by the Canadian government for secret experiments.

11. The episode of _The Simpsons_ with the voices of David and Gillian has
been completed, but the voices are actually those of two sound-alikes
known collectively as Gilli Vanilli. Neither Fox nor 10-13 nor Chris
Carter was asked for permission, so Fox will be suing...um, the other Fox
for a reported $92.7 billion.

These facts are all confirmed and come from extremely reliable sources.

The perception among the media seems to be that people will buy *anything*
that has a connection to The X Files, no matter how remote.

(I saw a Computer Games Magazine that had the X logo and the skull-face on
the front, with the title underneath "The X Factor". It was actually
reviewing games that had X in the title - nothing whatsoever to do with
The X Files.)

CONFESS! You are really Darin Morgan posting under an assumed nick,
aren't you?

This is the most hysterically funny thing I have read in ages. I laughed
for fifteen minutes straight, especially at the image of Chris Carter
hanging by his toes outside Gillian's window...

And "Gilli Vanilli" just killed me.

ROFL!!!

We're supposed to believe an actress who started in the theatre, has
trouble learning her lines. Theatre work would have to be the hardest
of all!

More like 3 minute.

Reading FHM, she doesn't seem private about her past...

If Chris Carter was so shocked WHY WAS HE IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS?!?! (pg
64-65) Maybe the Woman's Day journalist (if you can call them that)
didn't know who that blonde headed guy was...

This is Bullsh*t. I've seen several interviews where Gillian has
stated she put the grasshopper in her mouth, then spat it out the
second the take was done.
