Keane's Tour Break Continues

After initially postponing their North American tour last month, the British band announced that they decided to cancel it as a result to Chaplin’s slow rehabilitation.

After postponing their American tour last month, due to Tom Chaplin’s addiction, the band’s American fans were asked for even more understanding as the 27-year-old singer is in need of more time before he gets back on stage. His band mates are doing the best they can giving him all the support he needs at the moment.

"We'll be keeping in close touch with Tom and his doctors about how he's progressing and we'll keep you posted."

"I feel desperately disappointed to be letting down our fans, but I want to get myself right now so that I can be back on the road for the rest of the year," Chaplin said.

The three-member group released their debut album “Hopes and Fears” in 2004 and turned out to be a huge success, the songs play along the lines of melancholia, imploring change and lamenting stagnancy in equal measures just as the title suggests.

2nd X-Files Movie Update from D-Squared

Actor David Duchovny said in New York he would like to star in another film based on his Fox TV sci-fi/mystery TV series, "The X-Files."

Created by Chris Carter and co-starring Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, the show originally ran from 1993 through 2002 and spawned a 1998 film version, called "The X-Files."

Asked if a sequel is in the works, Duchovny said, "It's always on the horizon."

"I'm still very much in touch with Chris Carter, Gillian. Both Gillian and I are positive about it. It's not like we're running from it," he said. "There are some legal things that need to be resolved over at Fox."

Although no script has been written yet for a sequel, "There is an idea," Duchovny said.

The star of the new big-screen comedy, "Trust the Man," denied, however, reports he is planning to take over the role of Bruce Banner from actor Eric Bana in an upcoming sequel to the 2003 film, "Hulk."

"No," Duchovny said. "I don't know where that came from."

Some relevant bits from my endless plethora of useless knowledge: September 10th marked the 13th anniversary of The X-Files' pilot's first airing in 1993. The number 13 was a favorite number of Writer/Producer Chris Carter's as his birthday (and Mulder's) fell on the 13th of October. "1013" was a number he commonly used for random purposes (clocks, phone numbers) on the show, and is also the name of his production company (Ten Thirteen Productions).
