Rebecca Romijn Pregnant With Twins! Who’s Rebecca Romijn?

Like many people, we felt alienated by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s announcement that they were expecting twins because they’re just so la-di-da and famous and whatnot.

What we needed was to hear that another celebrity couple were expecting twins, but only so long as they barely qualified as celebrities. Not household names, maybe slightly attractive but not critically praised for their jobs at all. Basically we were waiting for Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn to announce that they had twins on the way.

So hooray for today, because that’s exactly what has happened. Model and actress Rebecca Romijn has announced that she’s pregnant with twins fathered by Kangaroo Jack and Fat Slags star Jerry O’Connell. Here’s hoping that the twins have their mother’s eyes and their father’s… actually, no, let’s just cross our fingers and pray that the twins escape from the womb with none of Jerry O’Connell’s DNA whatsoever.

As documentaries such as The Shining, Double Impact and Mary-Kate And Ashley’s New York Minute have conclusively proved, twins are trouble. One minute they’re haunting corridors in abandoned hotels and the next they’re doing kung fu on Hong Kong crimelords. Only an idiot would want to have twins.

Step forward Jerry O’Connell. Now, we’re not saying that he’s an idiot, but remember that this is the man who read the Fat Slags movie script, was told that Geri Halliwell was his co-star, agreed to star in the Fat Slags movie and then slept with Geri Halliwell. It’s for you to decide whether he’s an idiot or not. But he is having twins with his wife Rebecca Romijn, remember that.

Oh, you know, Rebecca Romijn. She was a model. She was a minor character in the X-Men movies. She’s apparently in Ugly Betty. She’s probably done a small amount of other stuff that we can’t be bothered to look up. The way her name is spelled bears no semblance to the way it’s pronounced whatsoever. You know, Rebecca Romijn!

Anyway, long story short, Rebecca Romijn is pregnant. It’s twins. Woo. Reuters reports:

Actors Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell are expecting twins this winter, a spokesman for Romijn said on Monday. It will be the first delivery for the couple, who married in 2007.

Great. More famous(ish) people having twins. Wonderful. In a couple of years we’ll be able to see Jennifer Lopez’s twins and Angelina Jolie’s twins and Rebecca Romijn’s twins all walking around silently together and dressing identically and staring at people and freaking us out. We can’t wait for that. Honestly.

Yes, Jennifer Lopez’s twins and Angelina Jolie’s twins will be dressed identically even though they’re both boy/girl twins. We don’t make the rules.

Anyway, we’re sure that it hasn’t escaped the attention of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell that if you have twins magazines are prepared to pay twice as much for exclusive rights to the baby photos than if just one baby is born. That means that Rebecca and Jerry are in for double the payday! They’ll get six scraps of food instead of three! Yay!
