"David Duchovny, why won't you love me?" asks Bree Sharp on her new
single, dedicated to, and named after, the "brooding and comely" X-Files star. "I
think it's a really good song," says an embarrassed David Duchovny, who
received a demo of the song last year. "I found myself playing it in my car
now and then." Or at least often enough to catch the attention of X Files
staffer Charles Forsche and Will Shivers, who works at Fox. They enlisted the
services of an impressive array of celebs (including Calista Flockhart, Brad Pitt,
Whoopi Goldberg, and William B. Davis, a.k.a. X Files' Cancer Man) to lip-synch
lines for a gag video, which was screened at last year's X Files Xmas party.
The clip, alas, will never air publicly. It has, however, created a buzz
around Sharp's debut album, A Cheap and Evil Girl, due July 27. "The
song's gotten attention we never expected," says the New York-based Sharp,
who'll soon shoot the song's official video (Duchovny's role in it is still
unclear). "Everybody's happy, happy, happy." What could make her happier?
Appearing in an X Files episode. "I'll do whatever they want me to do - dress
as an alien, wear an FBI suit. Whatever. I just want to meet David."
