    Vanessa Lachey Talks Officially Changing Her Name; Wants Three Kids With Nick Lachey

    Access Hollywood – Wed, 22 Feb, 2012

    Vanessa Lachey has officially left her maiden name, Minnillo, behind (after tying the knot with longtime beau Nick Lachey in July), and the "Winter Wipeout" host says her husband was completely supportive if she didn't want to take his last name.

    "We talked about it and he was so sweet. He said, 'You know, if you don't really want it, I understand,'" Vanessa told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Wednesday's Access Hollywood Live. "But I said, 'Would it mean a lot to you if I took it? Because I'm old fashioned and I want to.' And he said, 'What guy wouldn't want their girl to take their name fully?'

    "I heard you want three [or] four kids?" Billy asked.

    "Three is the magic number," Vanessa said. "We would love to, ultimately, just have them be happy and healthy, but if I had a choice, I'd have two or three boys, then a girl."

    "Is there a timeline?" Kit asked.

    "I think once you set a timeline you start driving yourself crazy," Vanessa answered. "At some point, you just kind of have to say what's meant to be will be and it's not for lack of us trying! It's part of the fun of being a newlywed."

    The 31-year-old former "Total Request Live" host said having children is at the top of her and Nick's goal list.

    "We both probably want kids more than we want anything else in life. We cannot wait to be parents and that to me is probably one of the most exciting things about him," she told Billy and Kit. "I know I've got a great partner to help me raise kids and he's going to be an awesome dad. So hopefully, God willing, I can give those to him soon."

      They will have some beautiful babies that's for sure! Glad she changed her name to her husband's- kind of shows her family comes before her career.

      I don't think he screwed up the first one! From anything I saw, he was the most patient, nuturing and understanding husband a gal could have - it was Jessica who screwed it up imo. She was too young and immature to know just how good she had it.
      Anyway, both seem much happier now and I wish Nick and Vanessa all the best for their future together and as a family.

      VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Paolo Gabriele was always a reserved, almost shy man, as his position required. He had access to the most private rooms in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace - Pope Benedict's apartment. But what could have prompted the pope's butler, who was formally charged by Vatican magistrates on Saturday with illegal possession of secret documents, to betray the man who trusted him? Was it money? Probably not. ...

      Iran has enough uranium for 5 bombs: expert

      VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has significantly stepped up its output of low-enriched uranium and total production in the last five years would be enough for at least five nuclear weapons if refined much further, a U.S. security institute said. The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a think-tank which tracks Iran's nuclear program closely, based the analysis on data in the latest report by the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which was issued on Friday. ...
