Mark Wahlberg and new wife Rhea Durham, with whom he already had three kids before tying the knot, are now expecting their fourth child, the actor announced.

Durham, 31, showed off her growing bump during a weekend shopping trip to The Grove in L.A. She and The Departed star married on August 1 in Beverly Hills.

The two are already parents to Ella, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan, 11 months.

EXPECTING: Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham are psyched for baby #4.

The actor credits his spouse and their children with helping him shake his former bad boy ways: "We continue to grow in our relationship," Wahlberg says.

"I was not prepared to be married ... at 20 or 30. Committing to making it work and all the things that go into building a foundation is where I'm at now."

"My family travels with me when I work most of the time or I go back and forth on the weekends," he said. "I've been pretty consistent about just making phone calls in the morning and then chasing the kids around in the afternoon."

Congratulations to the happy couple - and family!

No, Mark Wahlberg did not marry Ali Larter yesterday.

But both of these attractive celebrities welcomed in August with a beautiful wedding.

Wahlberg and longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham walked down the aisle late Saturday afternoon at the Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

The small ceremony lasted approximately 45 minutes, as Wahlberg held hands with daughter Ella prior to tying the knot. He and Durham are the parents of three children: Ella, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan, 10 months.

Larter, meanwhile, said she does to Hayes MacArthur in an intimate ceremony at his parents' home in Kennebunkport. It's the first marriage for both.

Actress Amy Smart was among the guests, as guests actually arrived at the event via trolley car.

Congratulations to both these happy couples!

The Lakers are the hottest ticket in L.A. - at least when the happen to be playing the World Champions. Yesterday, the heated Lakers-Boston Celtics rivalry resumed and numerous stars ventured to the Staples Center to take in the action.

For instance, here's Snoop Dogg, wife Shante Broadus and Boston's own Dane Cook cheering on their respective teams. Yeah, we know, it's no Zanessa ...

Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg portrayed Mark Wahlberg in a skit called "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals" on the show's October 11 episode.

Despite - or perhaps because of - the surreal and ridiculous concept of the skit, Samberg's dead-on imitation of Marky Mark makes it pretty funny.

Well, the real Mark Wahlberg apparently has no sense of humor, bashing the show in a recent interview with the New York Post, then only half-jokingly threatening to beat up Samberg on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night.

Here's the SNL skit, followed by Wahlberg's response on Kimmel:

Hearty congratulations are due to Mark Wahlberg and fiancee Rhea Durham.

The couple welcomed their third child, a boy, Tuesday in Los Angeles. No name has been released yet.

While the pair already have a 4-year-old daughter, Ella, and a 2-year-old son, Michael, Wahlberg only proposed to Durham recently. But h

"We continue to grow in our relationship, and we have a much better chance of succeeding and staying together now," the actor told Us Weekly.

Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham are excited to welcome their third child into the world, as the actor says a boy is due "around the third of September."

The actor added that his fiancee "has had enough of daddy being away for work!"

Such work includes a film about Max Payne, the famous video game character that Wahlberg is bringing to the big screen in October.

Despite already have a four-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son, Wahlberg only proposed to Durham recently.

"We continue to grow in our relationship, and we have a much better chance of succeeding and staying together now," Wahlberg said. "I was not prepared to be married, no matter who it was when I was 20 or 30... Committing to making it work and all the other things that go into building a solid foundation is where I'm at now."

With two toddlers already keeping him busy, Mark Wahlberg and his longtime girlfriend, Rhea Durham, are adding another celebrity baby to the mix!

Amazingly, that may be just the beginning.

"When the kids are good, we want eight or nine," Wahlberg said Monday in L.A. while promoting his new film, The Happening.

"When they're bad, we [want] to stop at three."

The couple also have a daughter, Ella (pictured below), 4 and a son Michael, 2, and Wahlberg says having a full house is "awesome."

"Hectic at times," he admits. "But a lot of fun."

In The Happening, Wahlberg plays a science teacher in the new thriller, out June 13, trying to stay alive against a mysterious and deadly phenomenon.

But the actor says his own fears are far more real.

"My fear is failing as a father, as a friend, as a son. I have a lot of responsibility and a lot of people counting on me," he says.

"And I know God has put me in this position to put back and try to create some opportunities for some others, show kids there is another way."

Mark Wahlberg knows a thing or two dozen about having problems with the law.

For that reason, the Oscar nominee has revealed that he "prays every single day" for embattled actor Lane Garrison â€" and for those involved in the the December car accident that killed a 17-year-old.

"I certainly pray for him every single day of my life," Wahlberg told People magazine last night at the Los Angeles premiere of his latest movie Shooter, which also costars Garrison.

His comments came after Garrison was charged with vehicular manslaughter following a car accident in December that killed a 17-year-old male passenger. He currently sits atop our Jason Wahler-inspired jail board.

"I'll speak to Lane and wish him the best and you know [tell him to] deal with the situation and put it behind him."

"It's a horrible accident. It's a tragedy for everybody involved and we're just praying for everybody," Wahlberg said.

Wahlberg is no stranger to run-ins with the law, having served 45 days in an adult prison as a teenager after being prosecuted for his involvment in a street fight, an experience he credits with helping him change his life for the better. Maybe Mischa Barton will one day say the same thing about her car accident history.

And that's why he hasn't given up on troubled colleagues like Garrison, or former Sopranos actor Lillo Brancato, currently facing murder charges for his part in the December 2005 shooting of a police officer. We assume he also felt for Bobby Brown. Maybe.

"You know I have a lot of friends that are incarcerated," Wahlberg said, "and I'm certainly about rehabilitating and trying to forgive and trying to mend the wounds that have been caused."
