LilSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:30:06 -0800

Try as they might, it is not easy for a celeb to hide pregnancy after the 20 week mark. Actresses may show off their bumps to much fanfare offscreen, but on-screen it depends on the storyline. While some television writers are willing to make a character pregnant, others use creative means to hide their stars' growing midsections or joke about weight gain. Ellen Pompeo will be disguising her belly as Meredith on the upcoming season of Grey's Anatomy and that inspired us to take a look at how other shows handled pregnancy.

It looks like the Peach Pitt clan has another baby to add to the brood. Actress Tiffani Thiessen and hubby Brady Smith are expecting their first baby this Spring. Her rep told People:

We are over the moon! It's something we've wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it's actually happening.

It wasn't that long ago when the mama-to-be chatted about putting motherhood on hold for her career. She said, "I don’t want to spring a pregnancy on a brand new show that I just got on." Well, apparently her secret has sprung and now we'll have to wait and see how they manage her bump into the White Collars story line. Will they work it into her character or hide it away behind bags and pizza boxes?

Well, well, well. Look what we have here... Rebecca Gayheart is showing off her cute baby bump in sunny LA! Though the mom-to-be still hasn't officially announced her pregnancy, it's pretty obvious that the Noxzema girl has got a McSteamy junior on the way and we can't wait to see the wee one. Since she's kept mum on the subject, nobody knows when the youngster will make its debut. One thing is certain - the cast of Grey's Anatomy had no trouble making good of their time off the set.

So tell us, when do you think the smokin' mama will welcome her baby to the world? Guess the due date below!

Instead of talking about food dishes, Padma Lakshmi was caught dishing on her own personal life as she sat down and discussed her pregnancy with Kelly Ripa and Anderson Cooper on Live With Regis and Kelly. Guest host Anderson congratulated the vision in purple on her recently announced pregnancy, which got the mom-to-be talking about the wee baby bump of hers. The celebrity foodie said:

Now that I've told everyone, I think my body has relaxed and my stomach has just said all right, that's it. I really wasn't showing that much . . . in the last four days, I've just really got this buddha belly, but so far, so good.

A veteran of pregnancies, Kelly said, "It's true, once you tell people about it, it pronounces itself." Did you feel like you popped out when you told people you were pregnant?

To see Padma talk about her age, food cravings, lack of morning sickness, and even eating bull testicles, just read more.

Padma Lakshmi's Got a Bun in the Oven!

The tigress of Top Chef, Padma Lakshmi has got something cooking of her own. The outrageously popular hostess is expecting her first child. The father is unknown at this point. Celebrated for her work as a model, actress and host, the mama-to-be will also be known as a beacon of hope for women diagnosed with endometriosis. The medical condition often keeps ladies from becoming pregnant or maintaining their pregnancy. A long time advocate for the cause, Padma co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America. Her rep told Us Magazine:

As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time.

Congratulations to the saucy lady and we wish her the healthiest and happiest pregnancy.

I can't get enough of funny man Will Ferrell, and apparently, he can't get enough of babies. The papa of two is expecting his third son with his beautiful wife Viveca Paulin.

Congratulations to the growing family!

Heidi Klum Shows Off Her Third Trimester Knockout Body

LilSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:30:27 -0700

The glitz and glamour of a black tie affair is enough to get any mama giddy about a night on the town. Trading in the sweats for a beautiful gown and primping in front of the mirror – be it for a fancy wedding, a charity event or a school function – can make a mom forget the bickering tots she leaves at home for the evening.

Though Heidi Klum makes it look effortless, finding a maternity dress that flatters an expectant mama's assets and hides her growing bump – especially in her last trimester – is no easy feat. The supermodel and mom of three, who looks to be due any day now, showed off just how sexy pregnancy can be at the Emmy Awards. Forgoing the traditional black empire-waist maternity dress, the Project Runway host opted for a custom black strapless Marchesa gown, remarking, "I wanted something simple because I'm so big."

How have you survived a black-tie affair in the late stages of pregnancy?

Jenna Elfman Takes Her Television Role to Real Life

babysugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:00:14 -0700

Many serious actors like to step into their character's shoes to fully understand the role they are asked to portray. It appears Jenna Elfman is taking her role on the new show Accidentally on Purpose quite literally. The small screen mama is expanding her family and making her son Story, 2, a big brother. The sitcom debuts this coming Monday, Sept. 21 and will tell the tale of a woman who finds herself expecting a young man's babe - a slight variation from the actress's real-life story. If the show is anything like the amazingly written book, we'll be fans. Wardrobe accommodations should be made a bit easier as the stylists will have a real bump to work with as opposed to pillows or other lovely stuffings. Surely the leggy mommy could reenact her pregnancy days without having to live them out but the authenticity and humor of certain moments will seamlessly translate to the audience and her costars.
