She's used to getting paid to make people laugh, but now the joke's on her.

Wanda Sykes says her new twins are getting the last laugh now that they are home and turning her life upside down.

Sykes and her wife, Alex, welcomed twins on April 27th, according to PEOPLE magazine.

Daughter Olivia Lou weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz., and was 19-inches long, while son Lucas Claude debuted at 7 lbs., 9 oz., and was 20-inches long.

The comedian's wife gave birth to the babies, and is reportedly recuperating "very nicely" following the extended labor and delivery.

Sykes, who stars on "New Adventures of Old Christine," and Alex, were married last October.

Another actress adding to the family is Chyler Leigh. The "Grey's Anatomy" star recently gave birth to her third child.

Leigh and her husband, actor Nathan West, welcomed their daughter Anniston Kae just seven days after Leigh wrapped filming on "Grey's" fifth season.

Leigh's rep reports that Anniston weighed 7 lbs., 1 oz. at birth and joins siblings Noah Wilde, 5, and Taelyn Leigh, 2.

Leigh and West have been married for seven years.

Maya Rudolph may follow in Leigh's footsteps. The "Saturday Night Live" star just announced she is pregnant with her second child.

The actress told TV's "Entertainment Tonight" that she and her partner, director Paul Thomas Anderson, are adding the their family, though they are still unsure of the baby's gender.

Rudolph is mom to daughter Pearl, 3, and says she hopes to add another baby to the mix once she pops this one out.

Finally, Heidi Klum and her husband Seal will soon be seeing pink... again.

The model is reportedly pregnant with a baby girl. At least that's the word from Seal, who shared the good news on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" a few days ago.

The 35-year-old "Project Runway" host and Seal were married in 2005. Together, they have two sons - Henry Gunther, 3, and Johan Riley, 2. Klum also has a daughter Leni, 5, from her previous relationship with Flavio Briatore.
