Kids Come Quick for Entertainment Stars

The new trend in the entertainment industry is to have kids at a young age. And it seems that after entertainment super stars such as Britney Spears and Reese Witherspoon entered motherhood early in life, everyone else wants to follow suit. Actor Dominic Monaghan has described himself as "broody" and says he longs to be a dad. Evangeline Lilly are you listening? "I love kids. I love being around wild animals or babies because it`s a pure interaction there. They`re all about the moment. So I love being around babies. It`s fun."

Who knows how soon the whole family thing could start? The actor believes he could be killed off on "Lost" -- and it wouldn`t be a stretch since he plays a drug addict. Dom told a British magazine: "Yeah, I think my character could die. It`s the nature of the show, isn`t it? But I think you have to try to be philosophical about the whole thing.

"I`ve said to the writers a bunch of times, `If you`re sitting in the writing room and you create a fantastic death scene for Charlie that reverberates through the whole cast and affects the whole season, then I`m all for it." As for what comes after the show, Dominic has his sights set on a family, most likely with current girlfriend Evangeline who sounds like she has forsaken all others in giving her heart to Dom, even if they aren`t engaged. Yet. That, and the fact that guys are too intimidated to approach her now that she`s famous. "It`s wonderful," she said, "They think, `She`s Kate. She`s Evangeline Lilly. She`s just not going to date me`, and leave me alone."
