THE SEX-FILES: I WANT TO FOOL AROUND

David Duchovny was "scared" about how wife Tea Leoni would cope with his sex scene in his new movie The X-Files: I Want To Believe.

The 47-year-old actor -- who has two children with Leoni -- admits he was nervous about what his wife would think of his erotic kiss with costar Gillian Anderson in the sci-fi film.

When asked if he was concerned about Leoni's reaction to the scene, Duchovny replied: "Yes! But luckily we were filming in Canada so I didn't have to deal with it!" Anderson -- who reprises her role as Dana Scully alongside Duchovny's Fox Mulder in the film -- also hinted the pair will star in another film following the exploits of the former FBI agents, and it will be even more explicit. She said: "I think the next film will be X-rated!" Duchovny added to US TV show Extra: "I don't think people are going to want to see us anymore after this one!"

No! No! No!

Amy Winehouse has revealed she wants at least five children and twins. The troubled singer insists she and husband Blake Fielder-Civil -- who this week was sentenced to 27 months in prison for GBH (grievous bodily harm) and perverting the course of justice -- are ready to start their family. She said: "I love kids. To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better. Blake and I can't wait to have kids. I want at least five kids, and I want twins." Added Winehouse: "Blake is going to be the most amazing dad. When Blake was about we talked about it all the time. We'd like to have identical twins. Blake had a dream that we had a girl who was dark like me. And then I had a dream that I had one older, like 18 months old, dark like me and identical twin babies. I want twins so I'll keep going until we have them." Amy also revealed she would be just as happy with Blake if she were a housewife. She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I really enjoy ironing. If I was a housewife ... Blake would work from home. He's got all his cameras at home and his projector, and he would just live in his little editing room and edit his films. And I'd sing to him."

GROOVING TO THE BABY BEAT

Matthew McConaughey "got tribal" and played Brazilian music during the birth of his first child.

The Fool's Gold actor -- whose Brazilian model girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth to son Levi on July 7 -- stayed in the delivery room for the labour and acted as a DJ to play Alves' favourite tunes during her painful contractions.

He said: "We found a great rhythm. Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.

"I have it all chronicled. Becoming a dad is something I've dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let's go.

"I said to her, 'Let's handle this -- let's stay in the rhythm. Don't let the contraction be more than you.'"

Although Alves, 25, originally wanted a natural birth without painkillers, she had to undergo a caesarean birth following complications during labour.

McConaughey, 38, also revealed he was delighted to have a son, but admits he found the labour experience "pukey and sweaty."

The couple is convinced Levi looks just like McConaughey when he was a baby, and the actor is hoping his son can learn from his parents' mistakes and have a happy life. McConaughey said: "I've pulled out some baby pictures of myself, and the resemblance is amazing. This kid has a lot to learn from us. I want him to come out being a little wiser, a little cooler ... than we are."

DOES CHAMPAGNE COUNT AS ALCOHOL?

Despite being treated for alcoholism last year, Lindsay Lohan still drinks Champagne. The 22-year-old actress said: "These days I drink buckets of green tea and a glass or two of Champagne at night." The Freaky Friday star also admitted she loves fast food, especially McDonald's. She revealed: "My guiltiest pleasure is McDonald's and I adore their french fries. I also love peanut butter and jam sandwiches in the morning after a night out. When I was filming The Parent Trap in London all I wanted was American food like Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's, but I was only young."

Mom would have been proud

J.K. Rowling's biggest regret is that her mother never saw her Harry Potter books.

The 42-year-old author began work on the worldwide best-selling stories about the boy wizard in 1990, but her mum Anne died before J.K. -- real name Joanne -- had the chance to tell her about them.

Speaking in a new documentary about multiple sclerosis -- the disease Anne died from aged 45 -- Rowling said: "I started writing Harry six months before my mum died. That is obviously a real regret. I never told her I was even writing it.

"She knew I wanted to write. I'm not sure how seriously she took it, but she never knew anything about Harry Potter at all."

The author is now patron of the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland and has donated millions of pounds to the charity, as well as making a significant donation to set up a multiple sclerosis research centre at Edinburgh University in 2006.
