Rebecca Romijn wants to name one of her twins after Dolly Parton

Supermodel and expectant mom Rebecca Romijn, who is having twins with her new husband Jerry O’Connell, says she has already picked out at least one name- provided, of course, one of the twins is a girl. Romijn is a huge fan of country legend Dolly Parton, and hopes to give one of the babies the same moniker.

She’s not due to give birth until next year, but Rebecca Romijn has already decided to name one of the twins with hubby Jerry O’Connell after her favorite singer, Dolly Parton.

“I have been a fan of Dolly all my life. She’s a wonderful woman. I really connect with her music. I can’t think of a better role model for my children!” says the mom-to-be, who finally met her idol at the “Backwoods Barbie” show in Tennessee’s Dollywood theme park on August 17. “She has this great, sweet personality but she’s also strong and wise,” gushed Rebecca, 35, who got Dolly’s blessing for her choice of name. “She was honored.”

I actually think Dolly is a really cute name. But I hope she doesn’t get crazy and name the kid Parton if it turns out she’s carrying twin boys. Then again, it’s not any worse than Zuma. I’m actually thinking about naming my baby “Carlin,” after my idol, George Carlin, if it’s a boy. Is that weird?

Note by Celebitchy: Jerry O’Connell recently joked about naming the twins Mary-Kate and Ashley, saying “I’m not kidding. I really thought about that.”

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell having twins


Rebecca Romijn, 35, and Jerry O’Connell, 34, have been married for a year and look like they’re having a lot of fun together. There were tabloid stories in April that the couple was trying to get pregnant, with model Romijn supposedly eating more in an attempt to conceive. Just over a week ago O’Connell mentioned that they were working on a baby together. He likely already knew that they had two on the way at the point and wanted to wait a little while before making the official announcement. He said “It would be amazing if it happened… I hope it does happen.” O’Connell also cracked that he enjoyed the process of making a baby, saying they’re trying “at least a few days a month!” It turns out all their hard work was worth it - Romijn is said to be expecting twins, due this winter:

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell will soon be on double diaper duty.

Us Weekly has learned that Romijn, 35, and O’Connell, 34, are expecting twins this winter.

A spokesman for the couple confirmed the news Monday morning.

The babies will be the first children for the pair.

Romijn and O’Connell met at a party in 2004; he proposed a year later. They got married in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles in July 2007. See their wedding photo.

Their rep has also confirmed the news to People Magazine. I really like these two together and that is great news for them! Twins are becoming more common in the general population and hence among celebrities population due to the infertility treatments available, but it really doesn’t matter how a baby or babies are conceived. What matters is that they’re born into a loving home. These two seem like they’ll make great parents.

O’Connell recently apologized if anyone was offended by a parody video he made of Tom Cruise’s Scientology video, in which Cruise ranted that the cult were “experts on the mind” and the only people who could help accident victims. O’Connell’s version for Funny or Die included references to the then-striking Writer’s Guild using similar phrases as Cruise and wearing the same black turtleneck, laughing uncontrollably. He said he never intended the video to become as popular as it did, and that it was intended as more of an inside joke in the industry. As for Tom Cruise or Katie Holmes responding to his joke, he said “There has been no contact, thank goodness,” but added that making the video was a lot of fun.

Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O’Connell got married (update wedding pics)


Rebecca Romijn, and Jerry O’Connell got married on Saturday. The two seem to have been dating forever, but apparently it’s only been a couple years, since Romijn, 34, divorced Uncle Jesse… er, I mean John Stamos in 2005. Apparently the two have also been engaged since 2005. Romijn was a model and currently one of the cast members of “Ugly Betty.” O’Connell, 3 3, stars on Crossing Jordan, which is apparently still on the air. I think it’s on for about 6 episodes a year or something like that.

I think it’s pretty awesome that the two got married so close to 7/7/07 but managed to restrain themselves from getting married on the corniest… I mean luckiest… of days. Apparently they kept the wedding under the radar by inviting guests to a barbeque, which turned out to actually be their wedding, which was held in their backyard. The only way to have kept it more under the radar would have been to get married on Eva Longoria’s holiest of days. Therewouldn’t have been a single member of the paparazzi left on the west coast on that weekend.

It sounds like their wedding was really low key, which is nice to hear about compared to a lot of the extravagances a lot of stars overindulge in for their big days. Their dogs Better and Taco were members of the wedding party, wearing formal black bowties, along with about 100 of the couple’s family and friends.

“The groom wore a tan suit, while Romijn was sheathed in a white floor-length Ralph Lauren gown and bejeweled in Neil Lane’s finest. The newlyweds were serenaded by a gospel choir, per Us Weekly, and the reception featured a western theme, complete with barbecue, real wagon wheels and hay bales.”

[From E! News]

No word on if John Stamos attended… or if he took too much Ambien again and was too drunk (and by drunk I mean sleepy) to show up.

Update Thanks to FlyNetOnline for these pics of the wedding.

XMen 3 Cannes Photocall with Halle Berry, Rebecca Romjin and Hugh Jackman


The Stars of XMen 3 were on hand to promote the film at the Cannes film festival. Halle Berry, Rebecca Romjin, Hugh Jackman, Anna Panquin, and Famke Janssen were among the celebrities at a photocall for the movie today.

Berry has said that she can’t party as much as she’d like in Cannes because she’s busy promoting her film:

“You’re in this beautiful place but, when you come with a movie, what I’ve realized is that it is not really a lot of fun and playtime. It is worktime for us. But I’m hoping that, with Brett here (playboy director Brett Ratner), there will be some parties, so if I just follow him, follow in his dust, I’ll manage to get to some cool party I hope I can come back another year, next year, when I don’t have a film here, and just be a spectactor and enjoy the festival.”

Ratner is indeed known to party. He has been linked with Lindsay Lohan and was said to have made the teenager jealous when she found him in bed with a hot model.

Halle Berry asked a BBC radio DJ if he was “having a racist moment” when he inexplicably decided to impersonate a “big, fat, black guy” by his own admission. People are saying that Berry overreacted, but asking if someone is having a racist moment is a mild reaction, and seems justified based on the description of what happened.

Here are the pictures from the photocall. Halle Berry is shown with Brett Rattner in the inset picture.
