"I don't want them to date," the dad-to-be tells Us

Dad-to-be Jerry O' Connell already feels overprotective of his twins.

"Just the fact that they're girls, you know?" O'Connell told Usmagazine.com at the Nike + Human Race in Los Angeles on Sunday. "I don't want them to date. They're only allowed to date men who run countries. They're only allowed to date men who are heir to throne or are currently running a nation.

O'Connell -who has been filming his new series, Do Not Disturb in L.A - said Rebecca Romijn has at least one baby name decided.

"My wife is a very big Dolly Parton fan, so that will probably be one of the names," he told Us.

O'Connell has also joked that they discussed naming the twins Mary-Kate and Ashley, after the Olsen twins.

When asked about Romijn, O' Connell gushed, "she's doing great! She has a hearty appetite right now!"

What is the Ugly Betty star craving in particular?

"Soy cream cheese," he said. "Don't ask me why."

He joked: "When it's meal time, you better make sure that the meal is ready or it's ready to go, or it's there, because when mama's hungry, mama's hungry!"

In August, O' Connell told Access Hollywood that Romijn wanted, "A lot of ice cream!"

The couple— who wed in July 2007— will greet their babies this winter.

O'Connell told Us recently, that they had been trying to have kids for some time, adding that the process had been "a lot of fun."

How could actor Jerry O'Connell and wife Rebecca Romijn top Hollywood's trend of exotic baby names?

"We were joking about calling them Mary-Kate and Ashley," the 34-year-old father-to-be revealed to Entertainment Tonight.

"I'm not kidding," he said of copying the Olsens' names. "I really thought about that."

O'Connell explained he and Romijn, 35, were also considering "maybe rhyming" the monikers.

"But then, is that a little Hansel & Gretel?" he asked.

O'Connell – who is filming his new series, Do Not Disturb, in L.A. while Romijn is taping Ugly Betty in NYC – said he "can't wait" to welcome the tots.

"[Rebecca's] about five months pregnant… getting big!" he told ET.

"I'm really excited about having girls," he said. "I know guys are supposed to say, 'I want a boy,' [but] I just have a feeling I'm going to be good with girls.

"I'm just going to raise a couple of assassins," he added. "They're going to be tough chicks!"

But O'Connell will be strict.

"They are only having sex when I die," O'Connell he said. "If they don't date boys at all, and just want to be infatuated with their father, that is what I am really going for."

Jimmy Kimmel on Ben Affleck:
"Our Love Speaks for Itself"

Us unearths new details on their raunchy new video

Body

After releasing the raunchy video "I'm F--king Ben Affleck," Jimmy Kimmel can't stop gushing over his new A-list beau.

“Our love speaks for itself,” Kimmel tells Usmagazine.com.

The video — shot last week at L.A.’s Roosevelt hotel and in an L.A. recording studio — became a YouTube sensation after it debuted following the
Oscars early Monday morning.

Kimmel executive producer Jill Leiderman tells Us the idea came from Kimmel and his director and was "completely fueled by revenge" after Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman released the video "I'm F--king Matt Damon" last month.

"Sarah and Matt's piece aired on a Thursday, and that Friday, Jimmy came into the office and said, 'We have to get to Ben Affleck, like, right away!'" Leiderman tells Us. "So I reached out to his representation, and by Sunday, Ben was locked."

Was Kimmel nervous about smooching Affleck?

"I don't think there was any fear there," Leiderman says. "I think there's nothing but love there."

The clip featured A-listers like Cameron Diaz making obscene gestures and Harrison Ford blowing Affleck and Kimmel a kiss. "Once Jimmy and Ben were ready to come out to the world, they got the support of their famous friends,” Leiderman says.

As for casting Brad Pitt, who plays a deliveryman, Leiderman tells Us, "We needed to include people who would resonate in Matt's life, and Brad seemed like the perfect accomplice."

Rebecca Romijn tells Us she was more than happy to sign on.

“It was so exciting to help celebrate their love for one another,” Romijn tells Us. "They make a beautiful couple.”

Adds Joan Jett, who sings in the video: "If Jimmy and Ben can find lasting happiness together, I'd be glad to sing at their wedding. Good thing Ben's from Massachusetts."

Now with their two dueling videos, can Kimmel and Damon ever be friends?

"Jimmy and Matt will reach out to one another," Leiderman jokes, "but right now, emotions are running raw."
