The star of a recent hit movie might enjoy receiving a baby gift hamper as it has been revealed a fellow actress is planning to throw her a pregnancy shower.

Queen Latifah has revealed that she is organising the event to mark the upcoming birth of Precious actress Paula Patton's baby, Eonline reports.

The actress, who is with child for the first time and expecting a boy with husband Robin Thicke, is due to give birth within the next few months.

Latifah, who is to co-star with Patton in the upcoming romantic comedy flick Just Wright, revealed that the event is to be a private, sensible affair.

She said: "It's going to be pretty intimate … Not too crazy, just close family and friends."

The mother-to-be appears alongside an all-star cast in Precious, one which includes the likes of Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz, Mo'nique, Sherri Shepherd and Gabourey Sidibe.
