COUNT (*) de várias tabelas no MySQL

Como seleciono COUNT (*) s de várias tabelas no MySQL?

Tal como:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS table1Count FROM table1 WHERE someCondition
JOIN?? 
SELECT COUNT(*) AS table2Count FROM table2 WHERE someCondition
CROSS JOIN? subqueries?
SELECT COUNT(*) AS table3Count FROM table3 WHERE someCondition

Editar:

O objetivo é retornar isso:

+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| table1Count | table2Count | table3Count |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 14          | 27          | 0           |
