CROSS IN A RUSH TO BE A MUM

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star MARCIA CROSS isn't planning on wasting time becoming a mum after marrying stockbroker TOM MAHONEY on Saturday (24JUN06) - she was planning to adopt before her TV comeback. Pal LORI LOUGHLIN tells America's TV Guide magazine that Cross was so desperate to have a child just before Desperate Housewives became a hit, she confided in her that she was planning to adopt. That was before she met Mahoney - when Cross feared she'd never meet Mr Right. Now she has, actress Loughlin insists her pal has motherhood on her mind. She says, "She wants to start a family. Marcia would love to have children."
