Toni Collette had been leaning toward motherhood roles, and now she
thinks she knows why: The Oscar-nominated actress confirmed Monday that
she's pregnant.

It will be the first child for the 34-year-old Australian actress and her
musician husband, Dave Galafassi.

"We're very happy. We are completely over the moon," she said.

Collette was nominated for an Academy Award in the best supporting
actress category for her role in 1999's supernatural thriller "The Sixth
Sense," and her more recent roles include a mother in the dysfunctional
family comedy "Little Miss Sunshine."

"It is strange the last three films I've done I have been pregnant," said
Collette, who is currently in Sydney with her side project, a rock'n'roll
band that includes Galafass on drums. "I'm just like, what is the
universe trying to tell me?

"But I think everything happens when it's meant to," she said.

Collette and her band, the Finish, were among the acts that appeared
Saturday at the Sydney edition of Live Earth, the global concert series
that aimed to raise awareness about global warming.
