Sarah Jessica Parker is expecting twin daughters through a surrogate pregnancy. The "Sex and the City" star, who already has a six-year-old son James Wilkie with husband Matthew Broderick, is thrilled at the prospect of welcoming the two girls later this year.

The couple's spokesperson said: "They are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed."

Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly are set to receive a settlement of $750,000 from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The "Vantage Point" actor and his spouse will be awarded the money following the accidental overdose of their newborn twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace in 2007.

Legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday read: "The settlement is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties and their respective legal representatives, and is intended to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation."

Dennis Quaid has blasted Meg Ryan for publicly "rehashing" the reasons behind their marriage breakdown.

The actor was left fuming when "The Women" star Meg claimed it was his extra marital dalliances that led to the demise of their relationship in 2001, and has criticized the actress for failing to consider their 16-year-old son Jack.
