In defense of David Duchovny...
This kinda thing makes me nuts.
There's an item posted Saturday on TMZ.com called "David Duchovny's gay gaffe" linked from gossip columnist Janet Charlton. It states that the audience at the Outfest Legacy Awards "clammed up" when Duchovny, introducing some Showtime clips with Marlee Matlin, joked that someone needed to cover his 8-year-old daughter's eyes.
I remember the line, I remember some mild laughter. I don't remember clamming up. Trust me, if anything happened that night that was offensive, I woulda posted it immediately.
It was nice to see Duchovny there, joking and beong teased by Showtime boss Robert Greenblatt and watching, along with the audience, a clip of his classic appearance on "The Larry Sanders Show" when he gives off the gay vibes to new best pal Larry. He showed up Thursday, posed for pictures, worked the press line without attitude, presented an award and in my mind, didn't offend anyone.
Leave him alone.
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

Can I just say THANK YOU for this post? (And your preceding ones as well; I love reading about events like this.) It's not that fans of his aren't used to his dry sense of humor being misinterpreted and blown way out of proportion (Vancouver, anyone?), it happens so often that if I had a penny for every time...
Anyway, I really appreciate hearing from someone who was there who is, in my opinion, a much more reputable source than a gossip columnist. Thank you. :)

Ditto. All kinds of writers put their own spin on things to make their articles more interesting. Thanks for stating your unadulterated observations.
And for posting the sexy photo.
