Liv Tyler's heart longed for second kid

Celebrity News: Liv Tyler's heart longed for a second child and the actress - who already has 9-year-old Milo from a previous marriage - admitted that she'd been wanting a child for the last seven years.

Liv Tyler's heart ''longed'' for a second child.

The 37-year-old actress - who is currently pregnant with her boyfriend, David Gardner's, baby and has a 9-year-old son, Milo, from her previous marriage to Royston Langdon - has admitted that she had wanted another kid for the last seven years.
She said: ''For seven years, I'd been saying I wanted to do an HBO show with an ensemble cast. And I wanted the house in the country. And getting to have another child?
''If you knew me well, they were the things my heart longed for. And they all came together, like a speeding freight train, in one year.''
Liv has been able to fulfil her other two desires by starring in 'The Leftovers' as well as renovating a home in Hudson, New York.
Meanwhile, 'The Incredible Hulk' star revealed she loves the ''mom hormones'' she gets when she's pregnant.

She told Town and Country magazine: ''The most fun thing about being pregnant is having those mom hormones flowing around.
''You're more present in your body and it's making me a better mother for Milo. You become more like a child. When you're tired, you have to sleep immediately. When you're hungry ...

''It's fun not being on a diet or thinking, 'Oh my God, I have to go to SoulCycle every day.''

Gillian Anderson hints at third X-Files film

Movie News: Gillian Anderson would reprise her role as Dana Scully for a third 'X-Files' movie and thinks there is a ''possibility'' a sequel will be made.
Gillian Anderson says there's a ''possibility'' a third 'X-Files' film will be made.
The 46-year-old actress played FBI agent Dana Scully in the original sci-fi TV series and its spin-off movies and although the last film came out in 2008 she'd be up for returning to the franchise - which also starred David Duchovny as her partner Fox Mulder.

When asked about the chance of their being another movie or even another TV series, Gillian said, ''Yes, there is a possibility. There is always a possibility, it's always a matter of it actually happening - and there's a lot that needs to happen between the idea and actually turning up on set, and I don't unfortunately have any control over that. But would I do it? I would, yes.''
The actress can currently be seen in BBC TV show 'The Fall', in which she plays a police officer investigating a string of murders in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Gillian stars opposite Jamie Dornan in the drama but she resisted the urge to quiz him about his upcoming role as masochistic lover Christian Grey in erotic movie 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
During an interview on 'This Morning', she said: ''Jamie's a very good storyteller ... and he has a very good singing voice! He finished filming 'Fifty Shades' before we started again but we didn't talk about it very much. He's probably going to be talking about that for the rest of his life, so I didn't ask him ... but I'm a fan of (director) Sam Taylor-Wood and I was interested to know what that experience was like working with her, so that was the question I asked.''

A third 'X Files' film was previously planned to start shooting in 2012 but the project never got started.
