According to the news, Rebecca Romijn and husband Jerry O'Connell [1] are expecting twins. And not just any twins, but twins made from their joined DNA that will gestate in Romijn's uterus. Great news and Modern Mom [2] reports that this will be the first child for both of them. Bra-effing-vo, O'Connell. Well done, sir.

To be perfectly transparent about this, we were honestly a little shocked when we heard that Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell were dating. And further shocked when they got married [3] (it was a warm afternoon as we recall, but was it a cool day in Hell?). And we're not hating on JOC. We think he's pretty awesome. The movie Buying The Cow, with O'Connell and Ryan Reynolds [4], is 1 of the finest piece of direct-to-video work ever crafted. We heard a Sliders joke the other day that almost made us pee our pants. And he's tall and pretty good-looking, it's not like he's got whatever weird powers that Jeremy Piven [5]and David Spade seem to have (that would be a fun club to join). It's just that coming off the John Stamos situation we figured she had a type and was bound for the same strange orbit that Heather Locklear [6] and Denise Richards [7] circle. And we're glad she didn't jinx it by throwing in a hyphen plus "O'Connell" yet.

But, no, she did a 180 on us and found a nice guy. A nice guy who really should be a bigger star than he is, even if it's exclusively on the small screen. We're going to give his new show Do Not Disturb a chance. But we're really hoping that he reprises his role in My Secret Identity, super heroes are so hot right now. We wonder when the IVF [8] rumors are going to start flying. Romijn will be 36 later this year and nobody wants to believe in long odds anymore (see Brangelina [9] rumors).
