Rock legend Rod Stewart is happy to be expecting his eighth child with wife Penny Lancaster — but this is the last one.

“Extra’s” Lauren Sanchez talked with the 55-year-old singer and asked if he would have any more children. “No more after this. Don’t be silly,” Stewart replied. “We’re done with it now.”

What’s the best advice he has received as a parent? “Always see the other side of the story.”

Stewart is also releasing another baby — his “Great American Songbook Volume 5″ — a collection of 12 standards, including a few Frank Sinatra tunes.

The rock singer said he met Ol’ Blue Eyes once. “He was concerned about [my] singing style, and it being very rough,” Stewart said. “[Sinatra] said the same as Prince Charles always says, ‘Your voice okay?’”

Stewart surmised, “I’m singing better than I’ve ever sung before, in my humble opinion.”

“Volume 5″ comes out October 19.

YouTube Star Alyssa Bernal Is Ready To Make Her Mark

When multiplatinum artist and producer Pharrell Williams is so anxious to get in touch with someone that he contacts their high school to try and track them down, you know that there is something special happening.  When that happened to singer-songwriter and YouTube sensation Alyssa Bernal, the teenager was shocked. “They didn’t know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me,” laughs Alyssa.  Her mother finally spotted his MySpace message and 24 hours later, she and Alyssa were on a plane from their home in San Antonio, TX to meet Pharrell and Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine in Los Angeles.  “Finding a new talent like Alyssa is so exciting to me,” says Pharrell. “There are a lot of young singers out there who can carry a tune, but Alyssa is the real deal. She is a true musician with an incredible voice.”

Once signed to Star Trak, Alyssa met with her dream producer, Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Train).  Terefe’s schedule was fully booked for the next few months, but after an hour-long meeting with the young singer, he agreed to work with her – starting immediately.  Alyssa and her mother moved to London for seven weeks to record her debut album, In Love Again For The First Time.  Terefe helped develop Alyssa’s naturally sunny sound, enlivening her pop sensibility with notes of funk and soul. First single “Cali Cali Cali” is available on iTunes now, and is the perfect example of Alyssa’s sunny yet substantive style.  Visit AlyssaBernal.com to watch her DIY video of the track and stay tuned to the site for updates on her debut!

Based on the remarkable true story, “Secretariat” chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner.  Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge.  Against all odds, Chenery—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

• In 1973, Secretariat became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting race records that still stand today in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
• Penny Chenery, now 87, is an integral resource in the making of the film.  She also appears as an extra in one of the film’s scenes.
• In 1973, Secretariat graced the covers of three magazines the same week:  Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.
• Director Randall Wallace, whose directorial credits include “We Were Soldiers,” is the Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-nominated screenwriter of “Braveheart.”
• In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 33-cent postage stamp with Secretariat’s image.

Against all odds, housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane)—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—navigates the male-dominated horseracing business, ultimately taking Secretariat on a spectacular journey to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time.
