Country singer Chely Wright will be delivering twin babies this summer…and, it looks as if she's going to have a pair of little cowboys!

Wright announced on Joy Behar: Say Anything Thursday night that she and wife Lauren Blitzer-Wright are going to be the proud parents of identical twin boys. She explained to guest host Howard Bragman that they've known about the babies' gender for some time now, but decided to keep the news private for a while. 

Bergman had a surprise for Wright upon her news: He handed over two little guitars for the babies. "I’m not sure if they'll write country music or show tunes," joked Wright.

The host also had something for Mom--a plate of her favorite pregnancy craving, French fries, which Wright eagerly dug into during the spot.

"I've gained 30 pounds and most of it is French fries," Wright smiled. She noted that her first trimester was a bit hard--what with the expected exhaustion and nausea--but that she feels great now.

Most importantly, the babies are doing fine as well. "They're healthy babies. They're getting fat!"

Wright and Blitzer's sons are scheduled to make their arrival in June. Congrats to the family!

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
