UK actor Simon Pegg, who became known to American audiences for his role in Shaun of the Dead, is going to be a first time father. According to reports, his wife Maureen McCann is now five months pregnant. The couple married in July 2005. An elated Pegg was quoted as saying, “My wife is five months pregnant. We haven’t announced it yet as we want to keep it hush-hush. I’m hoping for a baby girl, but I really don’t mind what we have. We’re thinking of having it in America as the baby will then have dual citizenship. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be amazing.”

Pegg’s wife will deliver her baby in June. In the meantime he will just have to enjoy being godfather to Apple, daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

Fans of Pegg as well as the Star Trek franchise are looking forward to him taking on the iconic role of Scotty in the new Star Trek movie directed by J.J. Abrams. His other upcoming movies include The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, and The World’s End.

Model and actress Angie Everhart has already attracted a lot of attention for her pregnancy because she has been mum on who the father is. Everhart was once engaged to actor Joe Pesci, but after their breakup she started a relationship with Chad Stansbury.

Sadly she claimed that Stansbury assaulted her, but according to the tabloids she went back to him and ended up becoming pregnant with his child. Stansbury himself is said to be telling everyone that he is the father of the baby.

It’s tough to say how Everhart might feel about him spilling the beans since she wanted to star in her own reality show about her life as a single mother. Online reports also state that Stansbury has a 17 year old son, but that he has been an absentee father. To be fair to the actor, we don’t know his side of that story, but we can certainly hope that he will be an involved parent if he is in fact the father of Everhart’s baby.

Reports indicate that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are set to add to their family as well. They had their first child, Harlow in January 2008.

Good luck to these expectant parents. We know they are anxiously awaiting the arrivals of the new additions to their families as many of their fans are.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise is full of surprises. According to recent reports online, he said that he would love to have seven more kids with wife Katie Holmes. It’s not clear if he has shared this information with his wife as yet. The 46-year old said in an interview “I want ten children. I love kids. I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two and a half-year-old. It’s a great dynamic.”

Tom and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman have two adopted children, Isabella, 16, and Connor, 13. Suri, his biological daughter with current wife Katie Holmes was born on April 18, 2006. In the interview he said of his youngest, “She’s so charming, she’s so beautiful, she’s just great.” If Tom has his way, Suri will be having lots of company.

Tom also recently revealed that a big part of what drives him as a father is the strained relationship he had with his own father. His parents divorced in 1974 when Tom was 11, and he admits that he never saw his father much after that. This is an all too common story, but often the affected children grow up determined to break the cycle.

If Tom’s own words are any indication he has remained true to his convictions. “I’m a great parent. I want to be with my kids, and they get to do all the stuff that I wanted to do when I was growing up. My own father wasn’t there much for me and I want to be a different dad to my kids. My family is the most important thing in my life.”

Tom and his ex-wife Nicole have also done their best to ensure that they continued to have a strong bond with Connor and Isabella. “Nic and I are very committed and successful in sharing the parenting,” he said. I know he has received a lot of negative press lately, but I certainly admire his stance.

It’s clear that, like so many of us, parenting has helped Tom Cruise grow as a person. With all the ups and downs, and everything that parenthood can throw at you, it can really help you to find out who you are. Best of luck to Tom with his baby plans, and if he hasn’t let Katie in on them yet, well now would be a good time.

By the way, here’s a nice bit of Tom trivia for fans who didn’t know, his birth name is  actually, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.

Comedian, Adam Sandler is a dad for the second time according to reports. His wife, Jackie recently gave birth to another girl, Sunny Madeline. As the name would indicate, Sandler is elated with the new addition to his family. A statement released on the actor’s website says, “Jackie and Adam had a beautiful baby girl, Sunny Madeline, on November 2. Everyone is happy and healthy.”

The couple’s first daughter, Sadie is two years old so no doubt they can expect to have their hands pretty full. She was born in May 2006. Sandler and Jackie married in June 2003.

A former Saturday Night Live alum, Sandler has gone on to carve himself a successful niche on the big screen. His hits include 50 First Dates, Mr. Deeds, and Anger Management, in which he co-starred with Hollywood heavy, Jack Nicholson.

I think it’s safe to say that as a dad Sandler is nothing like his Big Daddy character. In that movie he played an idle law school grad who takes in a kid who had been adopted by his roommate, in an effort to impress his ex-girlfriend. Luckily they were playing that one strictly for laughs.

The actor joins Amy Poehler as a former Saturday Night Live cast member to have a new addition to their family. Sandler’s recent hits include I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. He can next be seen on screen in Funny People due for release in 2009.
