The Hollywood celebrity, who detailed her struggles with mental illness in the autobiography "Call Me Crazy," is about to give birth to another child.

Actress Anne Heche just confirmed that she and her actor boyfriend James Tupper are expecting their first baby together. The couple met last year on the set of the now defunct ABC series "Men in Trees" and have been together ever since.

Heche met Tupper while she was still married to Coley Laffoon, the father of her 6-year-old son Homer. The two reached a divorce settlement in June after months of public warfare, which included Laffoon's accusations that Heche was mentally unstable and the 39-year-old actress' allegations that her 43-year-old ex was a deadbeat who got his kicks from watching porn and frequenting strip clubs.

So, yeah, she's bringing another life into the world... let's hope that the new child is not exposed to the same dysfunction as poor Homer.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston is going on the record with "Entertainment Weekly" saying that she is ready to joins the ranks of motherhood.

However, her statement should not be mistaken as a pregnancy announcement. Aniston vehemently denies that she is with child, though she says she would like to be.

"It's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'I'm pregnant!' " the "Marley & Me" star tells the magazine. "Everyone will be like, 'Yeah, right.' It's the boy who cried wolf."

The 39-year-old actress says she has enjoyed playing a mom in the movies and is now anxiously waiting for the day when she can be one in real life.

''I feel like that's in my future and I'm on the verge of it in some way - or it's something I long for," she explains. "So it was great to sort of dip your toe in it.''

No word on whether Aniston's current squeeze, singer John Mayer is itching to become a father.

I just don't know about Jennifer Aniston. I figured if she REALLY wanted to be a mom, she would have been one by now. I mean between Brad, Vince, and now John, she's no doubt had the chance. Angelina Jolie has either given birth to or adopted like 50 kids since Jennifer has been saying she "wanted" to be a mom. I think she's afraid of being the fat Greek girl that she has said she felt like when growing up.

Maybe she will end up adopting.
