After several weeks of wearing comfy couture, Cate Blanchett has matter-of-factly confirmed she's expecting her third child with her writer-director hubby, Andrew Upton.

A reporter at Saturday's Sydney premiere of her film "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," came right out and asked about the pregnancy rumors, earning a big grin from the luminous Oscar winner, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

"Yes, I am," responded the up-front Blanchett, who gives us yet another entry to add to the long list of reasons why we love her.

The Aussie actress, 38, who is already mom to Dashiell, 5, and Roman, 3, pleaded ignorance to rumblings she's awaiting another boy.

"You know more than me," she laughed. "It's early days yet. It's due in April."

Cate has made no secret of her desire to expand her brood, revealing in the October issue of W, "We're not going to wait forever. God, I'd love it to be now. I'd love it to be next week."

Meanwhile, Christina Aguilera has apparently decided not to wait until her water breaks to reveal that no, she hasn't been shoving a series of ever-larger beach balls under her shirt, and yes, she is in fact knocked up.

When asked by Glamour UK about her New Year's resolutions, she spilled, "That'll be about the time I enter into mommyhood, so I'm hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!"

The peroxide-coiffed pop queen, whose bulging, frequently on-display belly is all the proof anyone really needed, adds that she's already making plans to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan.

"I want to get it right, to balance [motherhood] well with my career," says Xtina, who will soon celebrate her second anniversary with her stork-happy hubby Jordan Bratman.

"Oh, he's thrilled! He's just great," she enthuses of her joined-at-the-hip music exec spouse. "He's so supportive and amazing through everything. He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system ... I gush. I'm a lucky girl."

Unlike Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez hasn't confirmed the bulbously obvious, but her rapidly ballooning midsection has fueled chatter that she's incubating twins, a rumor she did little to quell during a recent shopping trip.

People magazine reports that during an Oct. 25 outing to de rigueur Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Tresor with BFF Leah Remini and a pair of pals (they closed the place down for two hours), Mrs. Marc Anthony "appeared to shop for two."

"[They] walked in and went right for the cribs and had their eyes on everything," a spy tells the mag. "The whole crew of ladies walked out with a slew of boxes, not bags, and got into a waiting chauffeured car."

In other baby burblings, the gravy train is over for Milla Jovovich. People reports the actress, who happily admitted to indulging in oodles of yummy treats during her pregnancy, has given birth to a baby girl.

Ever Gabo Anderson made her debut on Saturday in Los Angeles, tipping the scales at 7 lbs., 8 oz., and blissfully unaware of the lifetime of jokes that await her, most of which will begin with "what," "how" and "for."

"Everything went really smooth," a source tells Us Weekly.

Dad is filmmaker Paul Anderson, who directed Jovovich, 31, in the first "Resident Evil" flick (he also wrote and produced the two sequels). They've been engaged since 2003.

"I am so huge you guys!" the brunette beauty posted on her Web site in September. "I've gained almost 70 pounds in the last 4 months! It's unbelievable how quickly it all happened."

According to Milla, "All I did was eat three bagels every morning with butter, peanut butter and jelly all over them, a few boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts for lunch and boom!"

And in a final bit of womb news, it looks like Katie Holmes didn't have an extra passenger on board as she crossed the finish line of the New York City marathon on Sunday.

Mrs. Tom Cruise is once again shooting down reports that she's planning to quietly birth a sibling for absurdly photogenic Suri, 18 months.

"She is not pregnant," a rep insists to Us.

Just like last month, this latest round of baby talk was touched off by one of Katie's fashion choices, specifically, the draping and surprisingly successful one-shouldered, silk Monique Lhuillier gown she wore to last Thursday's Los Angeles premiere of Cruise's drama, "Lions for Lambs."
