Though Molly Ringwald plays mom to two teenage girls on her hit ABC Family show The Secret Life of an American Teenager, in real- life she has a five year old daughter, Mathilda Ereni. But the child star- now 40 years old- has just announced that she is expecting twins (a boy and a girl) with hubby, Panio Gianopoulos, 33. The babies are due in August, and the pregnancy will be written into her show.

Ringwald starred in such teen classics as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles.

On Secret Life, she plays the sympathetic but overwhelmed Anne Juergens – a woman reeling from her husband’s affair, her mother’s Alzheimer’s and, most poignantly, her 15-year-old daughter’s pregnancy.

Congratulations to the happy family. I can’t wait to see how this gets worked into the already too complicated storyline.

Will Cindy McCain be the geriatric contestant on this season of Dancing with the Stars? Access Hollywood, Page Six and other online sources have confirmed that the 53 year old wife of senator John McCain has been approached by the show.

“Just before Thanksgiving, Cindy McCain started talks with producers to appear as a dancer on the show, a source told Page Six. ”She wanted to do it very badly.” But according to the publication, husband Sen. John McCain “put the kibosh on it.”

Cindy McCain is no stranger to the entertainment world as she has competed in beauty pageants in the past. She landed the title of Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona in 1968.

Sucks she won’t be able to do it… I would like to see Mrs. McCain shake it for national television!

The couple who have been doing anything to get in the spotlight lately are taking the next step- guest starring on a hit TV show. Newlyweds and recent parents- Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz- will be appearing on CSI:NY, but will not be playing themselves in the episode slated to air March 18th. The schmoopy-woopy duo will be playing a Bonnie & Clyde couple… should be interesting, eh?

What’s up with all these celebs and their guest-starring gigs? First Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt all did How I Met Your Mother. Then Chris Daughtry, Rumer Willis and now the Wentz’s on CSI:NY. They’re taking over the world!!!
