Ten months after giving birth to her first son Tori Spelling is preparing to be a mom again. The former "Beverly Hills 90210" star and her husband Dean McDermott are reportedly expecting their newest family member this summer.

According to TV's "Entertainment Tonight," the 34-year-old actress is in her second trimester and is hoping to have a sister for son Liam Aaron who turns 1 in March. The "So NoTORIous" star made it no secret that she wanted another baby soon after Liam was born.

Looks like she got her wish. And that's not the only good news the couple is celebrating these days. Earlier this week Spelling and McDermott got word that their Oxygen series, "Tori & Dean: Inn Love," was picked up for a third season, with the working title: "Tori & Dean: Still Inn Love."

The first two seasons of the cable reality series documented the couple's journey to parenthood while they ran a bed and breakfast---Chateau La Rue in Fallbrook, California. According to network reps, in the third season (which is scheduled to air this summer) cameras will follow Spelling and McDermott as they move back to Los Angeles, buy a new house, search for pre-schools for Liam, and get ready for the new addition to their family.

It looks like Denise Richards wants to make like Tori and Dean and get in on the reality TV craze.

The actress, who is better known these days as the warring ex-spouse of Charlie Sheen, is in talks with "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest to produce a reality series that will follow Richards as she navigates through crazy L.A. as a single parent.

The only problem: Charlie Sheen.

According to Seacrest, Richards was forced to go to court last week to ask a judge to allow her children to appear on the proposed series. During the court proceedings Sheen called the move to have cameras follow his kids "exploitation" and battled Denise to keep the couple's two young daughters out of it.

Unfortunately for Sheen a Los Angeles Superior Court judge disagreed with him and gave Richards the go ahead to allow the ex couple's one and two-year-old daughters to appear in the show. However, the judge did mandate that the children's involvement in the show would be limited.

According to Seacrest, the reality series will focus on Richards and how she juggles a career and motherhood in Hollywood.
