Wait… what's this? It's news about a famous woman that doesn't involve rehab, head-shaving, drug-fuelled backwards motorway driving or creepy clown make-up – Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives, has given birth to twin daughters.
According to reports, Marcia Cross gave birth to twins Eden and Savannah on Tuesday, and will now have to put up with all the trials that having twins brings. We're thinking of the big three here: the first time that Marcia Cross forgets which twin is which and feels like a terrible mother for it, the first time that Eden and Savannah both walk into the room dressed identically and Marcia Cross freaks out about how creepy it looks, and the first time that Eden and Savannah shout at Marcia Cross because she named one of them after a biblical paradise and the one after a grassy field that catches fire a lot.
Of all the Desperate Housewives cast, Marcia Cross seems to be the happiest at the moment. We've worked this out on the basis that she didn't play a transsexual in a film, she didn't have to sue a newspaper for reporting that she had sex with men in a van, she isn't getting married to Michael Bolton and she isn't Eva Longoria.
Instead, Marcia Cross has had a rare run of good fortune that has included being told she has quite nice hair, suddenly falling in love and getting married and then having a bunch of naked pictures stolen and sold around the world. Oh yeah, and getting pregnant at an advanced age and having two normal twin daughters, as People reports:
How's this for a double feature? Marcia Cross became a mom on Tuesday, welcoming fraternal twin daughters, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. The girls, Eden and Savannah, who were born at a Los Angeles hospital, are the first children for the Desperate Housewives actress, 44, and her stockbroker husband Tom Mahoney, 49, who married in June 2006. "Mother and babies are all doing well," says Cross's rep, Heidi Slan.
Finally having the twins will no doubt be a relief to Marcia Cross, who last month was ordered to bed for being so full of unborn babies, meaning that the Desperate Housewives crew had to shoot several scenes in her own house, presumably for the 'Bree swells up like Mr Creosote and nobody ever refers to it' storyline that's coming up later this season.
But that's something that Marcia Cross can discuss during her Celebrity Twin Parent And Child group that she'll no doubt be attending with Holly Hunter, Diddy and those creepy-looking blokes from The Proclaimers.

I get it… Eden because of the Desperate Housewives title animation and Savannah because – – her pubes are so red that they look like flaming grassland?

I hate the Housewives. Give us some British gossip, Hecklerspray!! If I wanted to read about boring people in my own boring “backyard” (L.A.), I’d go to TMZ.
