Gillian Anderson pregnant with third child


Hot X-Files actress Gillian Anderson, 39, is pregnant with her third child. Anderson has a daughter, Piper, 13, from her first marriage, and a 2 year-old son, Oscar, with her boyfriend, director Mark Griffiths.

Anderson was married to her second husband, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, for 16 months before they announced their separation in April, 2006. She had her second child, reportedly by her current boyfriend Mark Griffiths, in November 2006. You can do the math, but maybe she decided to wait before making it known that she was separated from her second husband.

Anderson will next appear in the much-anticipated X-Files sequel, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, which is out in the US on July 25.

Congratulations to Anderson and Griffiths!

Gillian Anderson and Mark Griffiths are shown outside an Esquire Magazine event on 5/28/08 and in Cannes on 5/14/08, thanks to WENN.

Opening festival at Cannes, including Cate Blanchett & Natalie Portman


The stars were out for the opening festival at the Cannes film festival, and they sure were gorgeous. The first film to open the 12 day film festival on the Riveria is Blindness. The film by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles is based on a 1955 novel in which an entire city goes blind after an epidemic. Julianne Moore plays one of the few people who is unaffected and retains her sight. She tries to hide it from the rest of the city as society breaks down from the effects of the change. Blindness also stars Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover, and Gael García Bernal.

The 9 person jury at Cannes includes Natalie Portman and is headed by Sean Penn. Penn didn’t miss a chance to rip on US President George Bush while talking to the press at the event. It’s likely that he was asked directly about it, and he is quoted by Reuters as saying “When somebody operates without a brain and without a heart, they kill hundreds of thousands of people around the world.” I dislike Bush as much as the next person, but there are much better ways of phrasing that. It’s lame to personally attack someone in such a blunt way when you can state more compelling reasons for disliking the guy. Bush definitely has a heart and a brain, he just choses when to use them. When it involves money, they’re easily switched off and immune to suffering, death and general havok-wrecking. Reuters notes that Penn then smoked a cigarette “in defiance of French anti-smoking laws.” You would think he would be afraid of setting that ridiculous hair on fire.

Shown at the opening ceremony at Cannes are Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria (who’s still looking pregnant to me), Rachida Brakni, Aishwarya Rai, Gillian Anderson, Sean Penn (the hair!), Julianne Moore, Gael García Bernal, Mischa Barton, Danny Glover, and Bar Rafaeli.

X-Files Movie Sequel - Is It Out There?


The 90s are back, and with them comes the X-Files. Maybe. While out promoting his new television show Californication, David Duchovney said he and the female lead Gillian Anderson, as well as director Chris Carter were signed on. This isn’t the first time David has mentioned a sequel to the television series and movie, and no release date has been confirmed. The truth is out there. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

“I’m supposed to see a script next week,” he said during a session promoting his new Showtime show, Californication. “I’m actually supposed to see it next week. Before I would just say that because they told me.”

Duchovny reports that the Scully to his Mulder, Gillian Anderson, will reprise her FBI agent/skeptic role, and series creator Chris Carter is due back to direct and cowrite the film with series vet Frank Spotnitz.

“Chris is going to direct it. Gillian is on board and I’m on board,” he said. “I’ve been talking to Chris and he has been giving me progress reports. He actually called yesterday and said next week you should have something to read.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing what he did.”

E! News

Like all the other X-Philes out there, I’m really hoping Mr X and Smoking Man make an appearance, and what happened to Mulder and Scully’s son William after he was adopted? Will Scully get cancer again? Will the sexual tension between the two agents reach a climax? This was the perfect show, combining sci-fi and soap opera.

According to the (very long and detailed) pages on Wikipedia, the show has a huge following even now. I remember when Gillian Anderson was such a sex symbol, around the same time Teri Hatcher was the most downloaded image when wearing just superman’s cape. All that suited steaminess, now we’ve just got Girls Gone Wild and crotch-baring celebrities.

Gillian Anderson is pregnant - just after leaving her husband


Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson, 37, left her second husband, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, 42, after just 16 months. They announced their split at the end of April.

Anderson is pregnant now with her second child and is dating a new guy, but she’s visibly pregnant, and looks like she’s about five months along. That means that either she got pregnant by her estranged husband and will be raising his baby with another guy (which is similar to what Heidi Klum did with Seal) or that she was pregnant by her boyfriend and that could be the reason she split up with her husband:

X-Files star star Gillian Anderson is pregnant just three months after splitting from her husband.

The actress, 37, has told friends she is expecting a baby following her separation from documentary-maker Julian Ozanne, her second husband…

Miss Anderson is now reported to be dating wheelclamping firm director Mark Griffiths. The 34-year-old businessman, who operates his lucrative private clamping company from an industrial estate in North London, was previously linked with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

Last month Mr Griffiths, who used to live close to Miss Anderson’s marital home in Notting Hill, West London, moved into her new £3million home in nearby Holland Park.

The couple are also said to have enjoyed a holiday to California with Piper, Miss Anderson’s daughter by her first husband, Canadian television art director Clyde Klotz. The actress’s marriage to Mr Ozanne broke down shortly after The Mail on Sunday revealed she had a bizarre alcohol-fuelled outburst on a flight in January this year…

When The Mail on Sunday asked Mr Ozanne if his former wife was pregnant he declined to comment.

We speculated back in April that Anderson’s relationship with her second husband was probably on the rocks because she seemed to be drinking too much. She suffered from drunken air rage (although one can hardly blame her, with the stress of flying and all) and looked visibly drunk in these candids of her out with her then-husband.

Hopefully she’s laying off the sauce now that’s she’s pregnant and maybe she’ll find happiness with her latest beau. It’s not too promising that he runs a “wheel-clamping” business, though. Who doesn’t hate those guys?

Here are pictures of Anderson from March out with her husband. She is seen at the Belle Epoque Dinner on 3/16 and in some candids looking visibly soused. Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are also shown. The first set of pictures you may have seen before, but the second set are new to me. [via]

Thanks to HotMommaDrama for reporting this first.

Gillian Anderson and her husband have split


Actress Gillian Anderson and her husband of 16 months, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, have broken up. They announced their pending divorce:

“Gillian Anderson and her husband, Julian Ozanne, are saddened to announce that their marriage is at an end and they are in the process of separating,” read the statement released by Schillings Law Firm late Friday. “At this difficult time they request that their privacy is respected. There will be no further comment.”

Anderson, 37, and Ozanne, 42, a Kenya-born photojournalist, married at a friend’s beach house on Lamu’s Shelly Island, just off the Kenyan coast, on Dec. 29, 2004.

They had lived in London with Anderson’s daughter from a previous marriage, 11-year-old Piper.

It’s sad that it didn’t work out for them. We took a while to report this as we were looking for these pictures of Anderson out with Ozanne last month. Thanks to “Hollywood Whore 2005″ on the JJB board for finding them so quickly for us.

We think that Anderson has a drinking problem and that may have contributed to her marital problems. She looks wasted in these pictures with her soon-to-be ex husband, and she also seemed drunk at a public appearance at the end of March.

Anderson suffered from drunken air rage in January, and reportedly told a man to pay more attention his wife who was struggling to take care of his son. She also fell down the stairs in her home two years ago, injuring her back. The accident took place in the middle of the night, and who falls down the stairs in the middle of the night when they’re sober?

Here are Anderson and Ozanne in happier times.

Gillian Anderson needs some hair products


We love Gillian Anderson and will see a new X-Files movie and sit through the whole thing even if it’s worse than the God-awful drawn-out series finale. We have to say, though, that she could use some pomade, or even mousse, in these pictures from Broadcasting Press Guild Television and Radio Awards in London last night.

Her hair could have the gently-tousled but finished look if she just would have taken that extra step to secure her flyaways. She also looks a little tipsy, but we could be influenced by the news that she suffered from drunken air rage.

We reported a few days ago that Anderson is going to go topless in her film that’s in production, the British thriller “Straightheads.” Anderson has admitted that she’s had trouble finding work, and said that the longer you’re out of the business, the harder it is to find film roles. She has three films in the works, though, and looks to be making a comeback.

Anderson has found success in England with work on stage and for the BBC. Here she is with her nearly-done hair.
