David Duchovny enters rehab for sex addiction

The truth is out there, whether we want it or not. David Duchovny has checked into rehab to undergo treatment for sex addiction. "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," Duchovny said in a statement. In an interview with Playgirl in 1997,  the Golden Globe winner denied having a sex addiction. The X-Files star, 48, has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997. They have two children, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

VP could be a she!

It's been about 20-some years since a woman ran for the Vice President's office. (Geraldine Anne Ferraro was the first female vice presidential candidate. She ran in 1984 on the ticket with Walter Mondale. Guess who won that election?) Looks like McCain tapped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate. According to the Associated Press, a formal announcement was expected within a few hours at a campaign rally in swing-state Ohio.

Oprah cried her eyelashes off for Obama

So what did bug supporter Oprah Winfrey think of Barack Obama's acceptance speech last night? "I cried my eyelashes off," she says. "I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced." The talk show queen called Obama's words "transcendent." She adds, "He's not an African-American candidate. He's a candidate for Americans." Go ‘head girl.

Pharrell Williams: Britney Spears 'Made her mark'

It's still a week early for the MTV Video Music Awards. But Britney Spears, who is up for three awards – including top honors – has a supporter in the form of hip-hop heavyweight Pharrell Williams. "She's made her mark with her career," Williams told People magazine. "She's super-talented. She's an entertainer." Williams, 35, collaborated with Spears on her hits "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Boys." "It was cool, it was fun," said Williams. Besides video of the year, Spears's nominations include best pop video and best female video. She has never won a MTV Video Music Award, despite 16 nominations in her career. Will this be Brit Brit’s year for best music video? (It might if they show paparazzi videos of her breakdowns.)

Halle Berry engaged…or married?!

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.

Barack Obama's daughters wanted Jonas Brothers, not their dad, onstage at DNC

While his opponent may be trying to brand him as a celebrity, Barack Obama isn't the biggest star in his own daughters' eyes. When Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Monday night after their mom Michelle's speech, they had no idea their dad was going to be beamed in live via satellite. When Mrs. Obama told the girls she had a surprise for them, the potential first lady was pretty surprised at the response, according to CNN. "Is it the Jonas Brothers?" Malia asked. Read the rest on MTV.com. (They're also big fans of Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, a syndicated radio show. Or, so that's what Obama, said when he was on the show.)

That's it for Cube!
