X-Files or Ex-Files? He said he wouldn't be back. So guess what? He'll be back! David Duchovny will be searching for the truth for one more year on the X-Files. First he held out for more money. Then the settlement of his lawsuit against Fox. And don't forget about him wanting more opportunities to write and direct future episodes. David won't discuss the details of the agreement but sources say he'll be pulling in $20 million...about $350,000 to $400,000 per show.

The two were married on a tropical beach on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. Ben's parents, Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller, were present at the private ceremony. Ben and Christine became engaged back in November. This is the first marriage for both of them but Ben was previously engaged to Jeanne Tripplehorn.

The Price Of Being A Fan Looks like Madonna's got a thing for bad boys. Former hubby--Sean Penn--landed the two on the cover of the tabloids for his hot head and clenched fists. Now, Madonna's new boy toy--Guy Ritchie--has reacquainted her with the tabloid spotlight. He was arrested after allegedly assaulting a man outside Madonna's London home.
