Comedian Will Ferrell and his wife, Viveca Paulin, along with their sons Magnus (5) and Mattias (2) are preparing for the arrival of a third son. Viveca is due in January.

A source said: "They are thrilled and can’t wait to meet the latest addition to their family. Both boys are excited about being big brothers."

Will said neither of his sons inherited their father's sense of comedy, calling them both "deadly serious." I find that hard to believe!

As an experience parent, he also has advice for his celebrity friends.

When his 'Bewitched' co-star Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, he jokingly advised her to talk to her newborn daughter "at least once a week".

He said: "For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week. If you've got time, do it two or three times a week. But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up."

Very true- LOL! Congratulations to the Ferrell family. There's no word on the name, but I'm guessing it will start with an "M" :)
