“I’m really excited about two, so we’ll see what happens from there,” Meyer told E! News in February. As for Ruby, she says the first-born Maguire child seemed “really excited.”

“She’s loving it. She’s really into the belly and it growing and her baby dolls. Ruby’s not really jealous. She just loves being around people, and this will be like having another little playmate.”

Spike Jonze carried Matilda on his shoulders while Michelle Williams ran errands around NYC yesterday. Matilda looked happy as can be, playfully pulling Spike’s hair and laughing in her yellow mini Hunter wellies.

When Michelle finally gets back to work filming Blue Valentine, it looks like Spike will make a great babysitter for Matilda when he’s not busy with his own projects.

Michelle Williams has a new man in her life.

Charlize Theron wants a baby.

The “Burning Plain” star would love to have children with her long-term partner Stuart Townsend but is in no rush to get pregnant.

Charlize, 33, said: “I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mom. I love children. I’ve always loved children.”

“But I’m not like, ‘Oh my god, I really must have kids right now.’ I’ve never felt this pressing urge that some biological clock is ticking.”

“We both want to be parents one day, but I’ve no idea when that will be.”

The 33-year-old actress – who has dated Stuart for eight years – says her life changed completely the day they met.

She told Marie Claire magazine: “Since I’ve been with Stuart, my vulnerability has become something I’m more comfortable with.”

“I think there’s a part of me that is very much a survivor. I don’t know if it was in my genes, I don’t know what it is.”

“But I guess being young and starting out in a sense of, ‘I’m not going to be a wallflower, and I’m not going to be messed with.’”

“That was the only way I knew how to survive at that time.”

“But all that has changed since I’ve been with Stuart. I don’t feel like I’m in survival mode any more. I feel like it’s OK, I can breathe, so I’m very grateful to him.”

Fergie wants a baby.

The 33-year-old singer – who married “Transformers” actor Josh Duhamel in Malibu in January – is planning to get pregnant as soon as the Black Eyed Peas’ summer tour is over.

She said: “I definitely want kids, but just not while I am touring with the Peas. It is not pragmatic for me to be doing 100 walkovers with a bun in the oven, so I am going to leave that for afterwards.”

Fergie, whose real name is Stacy Ferguson, will have plenty of opportunities to practice making babies while on tour – as her new husband is planning to fly to see her.

She said: “He will come out to visit me sporadically, depending on his schedule, because he is working on new things all the time. Just like always, he will come out.”

The singer said married life is “great” but is looking forward to getting back onstage and showing off her new costumes and brunette hair.

She added to Us Weekly magazine: “I am getting all my wardrobe together, which is so much fun for me.”

“My hairstyles are going to be different. I am really excited about the new look. It is a little more futuristic, and I am excited for it.”

The actress – who gave birth to daughter Honor Marie last June – and husband Cash Warren are keen to add to their family and want to conceive by the end of this year.

A source said: “Jessica and Cash are working overtime to get pregnant. She and Cash are boasting that they love being parents and are determined to expand their family as soon as possible.”

Jessica, 27, recently revealed how giving birth had given her life a new meaning.

She said: “So far, motherhood is the best thing ever. It is exhausting but way more fulfilling than anything I have done. Everything I do now is so much more meaningful because of her.”

The stunning star also claimed the labor wasn’t as painful as she expected.

She said: “Contractions aren’t that bad. If you’ve ever had bad cramps? That’s what they’re like.”

“But that moment when they put the baby on your chest – that’s deep. It’s a deep experience.”

Anne Heche has given birth to a boy.

The “Nip/Tuck” star and her partner James Tupper welcomed 6lb 12oz Atlas into the world over the weekend.

A source added: “Homer is very excited to be a big brother.”

Anne’s divorce from Coley – who she was married to for five years – was finalized earlier this week, following nine months spent agreeing on custody of Homer and the split of their assets.

According to court documents, Anne must give Coley a $515,000 lump sum payment.

The couple will share custody of Homer, with Anne paying Coley $3,500 a month in child support.

Anne, 39, filed for divorce in 2007 citing irreconcilable differences.

Sandra Bullock hopes it’s not too late for her to have a baby.

The 44-year-old actress – who helps raise husband Jesse James’ three children from two previous marriages – has not ruled out having a baby herself.

She said: “I hope to God when we get to a place where all is safe, calm, happy and healthy, it’s not too late.”

“I have family in spades. Everything we do is about the kids. I haven’t had children biologically.”

“I had shut that off – then I met Jesse and it turned on again. I was like, ‘Oh, it’s that feeling.’”

The “Miss Congeniality” star put off childbirth because she and Jesse, 39, wanted to concentrate on charity work first.

However, Sandra will consider adoption if she is too old to have a child naturally.

She added to InStyle magazine: “We realized we had to take care of some other things on this planet first. If I waited too long, it’s because we were supposed to do other things.”

“If it is just too late? There are millions of children on this planet that I would be honored to call my own.”

American actress Jessica Alba has hinted that another Fantastic Four flick is on its way.

The Dark Angel star has said that the third instalments of the superhero franchise has been delayed due to the writers’ strike

“The writers’ strike and the impending actors strike has kind of put a wrench in everything production wise,” Contactmusic quoted her, as telling to Coming Soon.

She added: “That film takes a lot of prep, a good six months of prep and about six months to shoot. With the strike, I think, maybe it’s put on hold”.

During the interview, the 26-year-old also said that she doesnt now much about her upcoming role in Sin City Two.

“I haven’t read the script. I don’t know anything about it, she said.

Meanwhile, Alba is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Cash Warren and also disclosed that she is nervous at the thought of breastfeeding her baby.

However, she is not in a hurry to get back into shape like many celebrity mums.

“I try and eat healthy as possible, because it’s good for the baby, exercise, as long as I don’t gain too much too fast- that’s the key,” said Jessica in an interview with Extra.

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s wife, Suzanne Khan, is expecting her second baby by the mid of next year. They already have a two year old son, Hrehaan Roshan. Hrithik is very excited about the baby and has disclosed this good news recently.

Sources say that Hrithik Roshan didn’t want much gap between the two siblings and that’s why they planned the baby early. Since Hrehaan has turned two, Suzanne Khan will have enough time to manage the other kid.

So, finally another Roshan will be added to the family. According to Hrithik, it doesn’t matter whether its a boy or a girl, but the baby should be healthy.

The Oscar winner divulged that Aubry has already started speaking his native language to his unborn child.

“I have the pressure now to learn French because we want this kid to be bilingual,” the Sun quoted Berry, as saying. The ‘Monster’s Ball’ actress also revealed that she’ll learn French the way Aubry learnt English.

“French is hard, especially when you’re over 40. I’m putting Post-It notes all around the house because that’s one way that Gabriel learned English,” she said.

“You see it every day and it’s supposed to permeate into your brain, and there you go,” she added.

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue says she still dreams of having children and could one day get married, two years after recovering from breast cancer.

“A family, yeah, that’s still something I would love to happen,” said the 39-year-old, who earlier this year split with Frenchman Olivier Martinez after a four-year relationship.

The singer confirmed in February that she had separated from the French singer and actor, who helped her through the darkest days after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2005.

Kylie, who is about to release her first album since beating cancer, was more cautious on the prospect of marriage, suggesting only that in terms of organization she would be prepared for it.

“There have been times when we were getting ready for a big event, like the opening of my exhibition at the V and A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London), and there’s a last minute hoo-has and we’re all running around like headless chickens and I’ve said, ‘Imagine if we were getting ready for my wedding’.

“We’ll see. I honestly don’t have a feeling one way or the other if I will walk down the aisle,” she told the November edition of Glamour magazine.

After the end of her relationship with Martinez, she was rumoured to be dating a music producer. She said nothing about her own current relationships, and was nonchalant about her former boyfriend.

“I think he has a girlfriend, I’m not entirely sure,” she said.

She was also philosophical about the toll that cancer has taken on her physically. “As far as body image goes, I’ve shrunk to nothing, I’ve ballooned… my body is not what it used to be but it’s the body I’m in.

“When you are stripped of everything and you have to grown your eyelashes back, grown your hair back, it’s astonishing.
“It’s hard to express what I’ve learnt from that, but a deep pyschological and emotional shift has obviously taken place,” she added.

Halle Berry took 35 pregnancy tests before finding out that she was going to be a mother.

The Oscar-winner said that she had believed she was pregnant, but the tests kept coming up as negative.

The Oscar-winner said that she had believed she was pregnant, but the tests kept coming up as negative. Berry finally got a positive result with the 35th home pregnancy test.

She added that she’s hoping to give the baby, a brother or sister to play with soon.

Berry confirmed her pregnancy earlier this month after revealing that she and her 31-year-old model boyfriend will become proud parents in 2008.

“Yes, I am three months pregnant. Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in my life. Now, the next seven months will be the longest of my life!” she said at the time.

Actress Eva Longoria has decided to put motherhood on hold for her career. Longoria, who wed French basketball ace Tony Parker in July this year, said that she is quite keen on starting a family.

However, she first wants to concentrate on her TV series ‘Desperate Housewives’ that has given her the ‘biggest career break’.

“Tony wants children and so do I, but I’m also involved in a very successful series, which has been the greatest break in my career and I have to be respectful of that,” Contactmusic quoted Longoria, as saying.

The 32-year-old also said that at the moment, having a baby is a huge decision, so they are going to ‘wait and think’ before going for it.

“This is our fourth series now, and we’re looking at several more years hopefully, so having a baby is a huge decision. We’re going to wait and think a while before we make that step,” she said.

Singer Jennifer Lopez admits that she can’t wait to hear the pitter-patter of little feet in her house.

The singer/actress has given her biggest hint yet to Grazia magazine that she and hubby Marc Anthony are trying for a child of their own.

“I can’t wait to have a baby. I’m ready and so is Marc,” the Mirror quoted her, as saying.

“We’re waiting for it too happen but I guess it’ll happen when God wants it,” she added.

A baby will be a new experience for JLo who though being married thrice doesn’t have children.

Anthony, on the other hand, has loads of experience in this department for he is already dad to three kids.

He has a daughter named Arianna with his New York police officer ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado, and two sons – Cristian Anthony Muniz and Ryan Anthony Muniz – with ex-wife Dayanara Torres.

Mel B says her baby looks just like Eddie Murphy.

The former Spice Girl has named Eddie as the father of three-week-old girl Angel Iris Murphy on the birth certificate and says the tot resembles the actor.

She said in an interview with Britain’s OK! magazine: “I look at the baby and she has his big smile and dimples. She’s gorgeous, she has taken the best bits of both of us.”

Mel, 31, admits she was devastated by the way Eddie publicly ended their seven-month relationship and demanded a DNA test, but insists she still has “nothing but love” for him.

She said: “I couldn’t hate Eddie. I fell so in love with him. We had a dream life together and I’m thankful that I experienced it.”

DNA tests are already underway at the “Norbit” actor’s insistence.

Mel revealed he has not contacted her since she gave birth – on Eddie’s birthday – but refused to rule out a reunion with the 46-year-old star.

She added: “In my fantasy world this would never have happened and we would have been living happily ever after. We would be married and having more kids.”

Mel claims the couple enjoyed a blissful relationship before Eddie’s shock TV interview four months ago, and revealed they even got tattoos of each other’s names.

A representative for the actor said: “The story is totally b**l s**t. 100 per cent made up b*****ks.”

It is believed they plan to marry in Israel this summer, with a larger celebration in the US later in the year.

The “Wedding Crashers” actress reportedly announced the couple’s happy news in Los Angeles’ the Cat and Fiddle pub.

A source is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “Isla called everyone to a toast and gushed, ‘We have got good news. I am pregnant.’”

The Australian star sparked rumors she is expecting the Borat star’s child when she wore a jacket and loose-fitting dress to the premiere of her new movie “The Lookout,” in what appeared to be an attempt to hide her baby bump.

However, Isla’s representative has refused to confirm the pregnancy, saying: “If or when Isla becomes pregnant, she and her fiance will decide if an announcement is necessary.”

In “The Lookout,” the 31-year-old Australian star plays a stripper who seduces a brain-damaged man.

Isla revealed her role as an obsessive girlfriend in “Wedding Crashers” has left men terrified of her.

She told USA Today newspaper: “Men didn’t hit on me afterwards, they were terrified. I was once in a grocery store, and I laughed and this guy literally jumped in the air. He said, ‘I’m really sorry, but you have the same laugh as the girl from ‘Wedding Crashers’ and you really scared me.’”

L’Wren Scott will never have children with Mick Jagger.

The celebrity stylist, who has been dating Mick for six years, is happy looking after Mick’s children from previous relationships and has no desire to have her own baby.

L’Wren told Britain’s Style magazine: “I have inherited many children. I feel overwhelmed and lucky because I have all these fantastic children in my life, who all have incredible personalities and fun.”

L’Wren, who is about to release her third fashion collection ‘Under My Skin’, remains tight-lipped over engagement rumors.

When asked about the enormous diamond ring on her engagement finger, she blushed and said: “It’s a very beautiful ring and that’s all I’m going to say about it.”

The 40-year-old former model – who was chosen as the Pretty Polly girl in the iconic David Bailey advert where her 42ins legs formed the hands of a clock – says her modeling work made her uncomfortable.

L’Wren said: “I hated being objectified. I don’t think I was very good at it. Because I was so tall, I just had people telling me what was wrong with me all day. It’s pretty awful. You have to have a really great backbone and sense of self.”

Johnny Depp’s daughter was left seriously ill after reportedly contracting the potentially-fatal E.coli virus.

The Hollywood actor’s seven-year-old, Lily-Rose, was hospitalized earlier this month with what was thought to be blood poisoning.

However, production staff on Depp’s latest movie have now revealed what the illness was and claim the deadly virus caused Lily-Rose’s kidneys to shut down.

An insider on “Sweeney Todd” is quoted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying: “Everyone was shocked when we were told the real reason for Lily-Rose’s illness. It was touch and go for her for a while.”

Johnny – who also has a five-year-old son, John Jack, with long-term lover Vanessa Paradis – was distraught when Lily-Rose was initially hospitalized and kept a bedside vigil at the London hospital.

The 43-year-old star has often spoken about how his children have completely turned his life around.

He said: “I just want to watch my kids grow up and make sure they’re healthy and happy. They are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I never thought it was possible to feel such profound, deep love. Being a dad has given me great strength, great perspective, great calm. More than anything, I love being with my family.”
