Tea Leoni has added to rumors she is secretly dating Billy Bob Thornton. The "Ghost Town" actress - who has been separated from "The X-Files" star David Duchovny for several months - admits she got very close to the actor on set of her new film "Manure."

She said: "We have this incredible cast with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favorite person in the world."

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have been "separated for several months", amid claims the actress received explicit text messages from Billy Bob Thornton.

"The X-Files" star David - who recently completed a stint in rehab for sex addiction - is said to have decided to end the 11-year marriage after discovering the raunchy messages on Tea's phone.

Billy Bob Thornton says he is "best friends" with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The "Love Actually" actor - who split with Angelina in 2003 - revealed he only remembers the positive aspects of their relationship and has the "utmost respect" for the actress.

He said: "I've never said anything but good things about any relationship I've had and, frankly, that's all I remember about them. I have the utmost respect for Angelina. She's a very sweet person, very talented and one of my best friends in the world."

Angelina Jolie never expected to fall for Brad Pitt. The 32-year-old actress - who is currently pregnant with twins - didn't want to date another actor following her divorces from Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller, but couldn't resist Brad when they starred in hit 2005 movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'.

She said: "After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn't looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know?"
