KEVIN COSTNER is set to become a dad again – his wife CHRISTINE BAUMGARTNER is pregnant with the couple’s second child.

The pair welcomed a son, Cayden Wyatt Costner, into the world in May, 2007. The actor has three grown-up children from his first marriage to childhood sweetheart Cindy Silva.

Costner wed designer Baumgartner in September 2004.

He recently told America’s Parade magazine he never thought he’d be starting a second family with Baumgartner – but had to agree to have kids with her before she’d marry him.

He said, “For years, fear kept me from marrying Christine. Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father.

“She said, ‘I’m about children. If you want to be with me, if you want to get married, you should know that’s part of my make-up.’

“I woke up and thought, ‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’ That’s all it took. I decided I was not going to miss out on love.”

A spy tells us Kevin Costner recently met with director Ron Shelton at Trader Vic’s in LA to discuss reprising the role of carousing catcher Crash Davis from the 1988 baseball flick. Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are also expected to return as pitcher Nuke LaLoosh and baseball groupie Annie Savoy, who are now married and owners of a Major League team that Costner manages. Kristen Kerr, recently seen on “Dexter,” is being eyed as one of Crash’s love interests, our insider said.

Kevin Costner is urging lawmakers to come up with a series of strict new gun legislation – even if it limits his own shooting time. The star admits he loves to hunt and often heads out with his dogs and a shotgun passed down through generations of his family, but he’s the first to admit that America’s gun laws are too weak.

And following the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech college, where English student Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people in what was the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, Costner feels that legislators should get tough with firearms owners, who refuse to accept their practices could harm others.

He says, “I’m a hunter, I hunt but I think there should be gun laws. I think there should be a lot of gun laws. I don’t want to lose my shotgun but there’s a real good reason why I use my shotgun. It came from my grandpa. His cheek was on it. My dad’s cheek was on it and I go out and hunt with my dogs.

“My gun’s an heirloom to me and my son, one day, when I’m gone, is gonna know, `Your dad hunted with that.’ But, even though with the connection that I have to my gun, can I look at the NRA (National Rifle Association) and say, `I think you’re out of line?’ I can say that.”

Posh Has David on a Baby Girl Diet

Victoria Beckham, 32, is so set on having a daughter that the former pop singer has put soccer star husband David, 32, on a special “baby girl” diet, according to British reports. David, currently out of play because of an injury, is eating foods rich in alkaline and has been told to cut out dairy, coffee, tea and alcohol. “Victoria hit upon this baby girl diet for David when she was talking to one of her friends,” says a friend. Posh already has plans to call the baby Luna!

Lindsay, Jude & Sienna: Torrid Love Triangle

One month after finishing up a 30-day stint at L.A.’s Wonderland rehab center, Lindsay Lohan, 20, has rebounded-into the arms of Jude Law, 34! After reporting last week that the two stars were long-standing friends who arranged “to meet up” at events, Star has since learned they have, in fact, been dating! “It’s been going on for a few weeks,” a source close to Lindsay tells Star. “She thinks he’s hot. She likes him.” Adds another source, Jude, a father of three, “is cute, funny- and he’s Jude Law!” Lindsay has been telling friends that she is “taking things slowly.”

Despite her new relationship with Jamie Burke, an ex of Lindsay, Sienna may not be officially over Jude. “Jude told Lindsay that Sienna asks him all the time about his new affair,” says the source.

Posh Wears the Pants

David Beckham may rule the soccer field, but in his own home, wife, Victoria Adams, takes charge. A source close to Victoria tells Star, “Believe me, she’s totally the boss. She told David he can be captain on the field, but it wasn’t going to work at home.”

The U.K. duo is planning to head over to L.A., reporting a $250 million, 5-year contract with the L.A. Galaxy soccer team, but it appears Victoria was the driving force behind the decision.

Victoria has her sights set on her and hubby taking over L.A. She recently inked a $19.5 million deal with American Idol creator Simon Fuller to do an NBC reality series about moving her family from their English digs – nicknamed Beckingham Palace – to L.A. The show ill also follow the expansion of her and David’s namesake DVB Style fashion line, which will soon include sunglasses and, denim and his-and-hers fragrances.

Mrs. Beckham is fully involved in her Hollywood plans – she has been busy crossing the Atlantic to scout out schools for the couple’s sons, and has been doing some house-hunting without her hubby, explaining “I know his taste really well.”

The Becks’ have even been spotted out in the scene with Hollywood’s fave couples including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Watch out – while Victoria and David take Hollywood by storm!

Jen: Driving Courteney & David Apart?

Courteney Cox is frequently surrounded by her bitter girlfriends, and the constant negativity may be taking a toll on her nearly eight-year marriage with David Arquette. A source tells Star “Some people think they (Courteney’s girlfriends) have it all, but they are a ‘glass half-empty’ bunch. They’re down on love, and they seem to complain a lot.”

The women certainly have plenty to gripe about: Jen Aniston is still recovering from her breakup with Vince Vaughn, and her divorce from Brad Pitt; and Sheryl Crow, dealing with her recent disengagement from Lance Armstrong. In hopes to offer support and sympathy she gives a rundown on why her marriage isn’t perfect. Star’s source believes, “this creates problems between her and David that wouldn’t be there otherwise.” “Courteney is probably suddenly seeing more negative traits in David,” adds another source. “But now I bet he can’t do anything right.” And in turn, David is spending time alone to give Courteney the space she needs.
