In his upcoming book, Lance Armstrong reveals that he and ex fiancee Sheryl Crow split in 2006 because she wanted to have children — and he didn’t.
“She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn’t want that, but I didn’t want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I’d just had kids [Luke, 9, and twins Grace and Bella, 7],” Armstrong says Lance (out in July), as excerpted by the New York Post. “Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it.”
Armstrong, 37, says that he and Crow, 47, even went to a counselor, “but really there’s no way to counsel that situation.”
“If somebody wants a child — man, that’s the greatest gift you can give to a woman — … who are you to stand there and say I don’t want one?” he says. “So we were at different points in our lives. We were not compatible on that issue.”
Adds Armstrong (who announced in December that he is expecting a baby with girlfriend Anna Hansen): “I felt like I wasn’t ready … I would have been in the future, but not then.”
In May 2007, the unwed Crow adopted a two-week-old boy, Wyatt.
Of motherhood, Crow told Usmagazine.com this past February, “It’s great! I love every minute of it.”
“The best part is all of it,” she added. “I would love more kids! I don’t know about 14 kids, but I’d love more!”

Course she does!

Kiefer Sutherland has been charged with assault for allegedly headbutting women’s wear designer Jack McCollough after a boozy night at a local club, Usmagazine.com confirms.
New York police said the charges were filed after he spoke to investigators Thursday, the Associated Press reports.
The 24 star — who is scheduled to start filming the eighth season in late May — arrived at a New York City police station for questioning on Thursday, two days after the incident. He arrived in a Lincoln Town Car with his lawyers. He did not speak to reporters as he entered the precinct house in lower Manhattan.
“Kiefer is here, he walked in a few minutes ago,” an officer told Us.
Sutherland, 42, was talking to Brooke Shields at a Met Gala after-party when McCollough accidentally bumped into the actress. Sutherland, who appeared intoxicated, then demanded the designer apologize.
McCollough claims Sutherland attacked him after the argument, leaving him with a cut on his face. Detectives also may question actress Brooke Shields as a witness.
This isn’t Sutherland’s first booze-related mishap.
He was arrested in 2004 for DUI and, again, in 2007. In the 2007 case, he pleaded no contest to the DUI charge and was sentenced to 48 days in jail. It’s unclear whether the charges will affect his probation status.

Sarah Jessica Parker has always wanted a daughter, her Sex and the City costar Mario Cantone tells PEOPLE. And in a few months, she will have not one – but two twin girls – via surrogate.
“I’m thrilled for her!” the comedian, 49, said at Thursday’s DKMS Americas Bone Marrow Registry’s Third Annual Linked Against Leukemia benefit, which he emceed at New York City’s Cipriani 42nd Street. “She has definitely wanted to have a girl.”
Perfect, considering Parker is “the ultimate girl,” he says. “I mean, she’s her. She’s going to have so much fun bringing the two girls up and teaching them to be young ladies.”
Cantone complimented Parker, 44, and her husband, Matthew Broderick, 47, on the great job they’ve done raising their son, James Wilkie, 6. “He’s witty. He’s funny and bright. The kid’s sharp! They are great parents.”
Cantone also says he’s happy that James Wilkie will soon have some little sisters to pal around with. “It’s good to have a combination of boys and girls.”

Sad news from Farrah Fawcett’s longtime partner Ryan O’Neal.
The actor recently confirmed that Farrah has lost her trademark tresses and her treatments are nearing the end. Ryan says, “She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment. The treatment has pretty much ended.”
Farrah’s family has chosen to keep her son Redmond’s troubles a secret from her, “Farrah doesn’t know Redmond’s in trouble, and Redmond is terrified for his mother. ‘I don’t want to be in jail and have some guard tell me she is gone,’ he said to me. I told him, ‘She’s rebounding.’ I lied to him. I lie to her. It’s the best thing,”
O’Neal, 68, recounts how the cancer spread to other parts of her body, including her liver. Fawcett, 62, will walk viewers through her illness in NBC’s Farrah’s Story, a two-hour documentary she shot with friend Alana Stewart.
Such a sad and tragic situation.
