Amy Poehler: I'm Like Santa Claus and Buddha

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:20:00 GMT

Amy Poehler loves being pregnant, and believes all the extra weight is awesome. "It’s really nice. You make people happy," she says in an interview with Elle. "There’s a reason why Santa Claus and Buddha both have big bellies."

But Poehler, who gave birth to son Archie with Will Arnett last year, says it's all downhill after the birth. "As soon as you have your baby, nobody cares about you anymore. They just want to make sure you don’t sit next to them on the plane."

And it sounds like life post-Saturday Night Live isn't just gumdrops and rainbows. Of preparing for her role on her new NBC series Parks and Recreation, she jokes, "I have been pushing a rock up a hill and watching as it slowly rolls back down."

Amy Poehler Raves About Son and New Show

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Former SNL superstar Amy Poehler is thrilled to be a momma, and says she can't get enough of son Archie, now 2 months old. "It's amazing," Amy says. "He's a sweet boy. Archie's the best."

Amy and hubby Will Arnett welcomed Archie in October, and the couple recently showed up at the Golden Globes. She wasn't picky about her fancy Pamella Roland gown. "With a 2-month-old, it's nice that something fits."

Next month, Amy starts working on the new NBC sitcom, created by the producers of "The Office."

"We start shooting in February and it's on in April," Amy says. She describes it as "like Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome. I am a boss; I have an office. It's a whole different world. It's not a spin-off, it's a whole different place. The Office's Rashida Jones plays my friend."

This will be a big switch for Amy, who recently left Saturday Night Live after 7 years on the show.

As for losing her baby weight, she attributes it to never sleeping. Such is the life of a new parent.

What Does Amy Poehler's Baby Look Like

Who Does Amy Poehler's Baby Look Like?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:07:00 GMT

Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett welcomed their son Archie on October 25 - so who does the little guy look like? Mom or dad? Amy's SNL co-star Will Forte can give us a hint!

Forte said of the six-week-old infant, he "is a beautiful baby." He says he's not sure who Archie looks more like, but added, "he has his own look.

"He's a really cool little kid, the cutest."

Amy said after her son was born she'd be leaving Saturday Night Live and her Weekend Update desk. Forte compared her departure like a "sister leaving to go to college. She won't be in the house anymore.

"It's like a family over there, so it's really tough to see someone go, especially somebody who meant so much to the show, but she's still in our lives!"

Amy said her final goodbye this past Saturday during Weekend Update. However, Poehler will be a working mom - she's signed on for NBC's upcoming Office spin-off which will debut in 2009.

Weekend Update: Amy Poehler Gives Birth!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:22:00 GMT

I'm guessing SNL star Amy Poehler won't be making it to Weekend Update tonight, since she's doing her own weekend update - the 37-year-old has just given birth to her first child!

Updated with details and baby's name!

According to TMZ sources, Amy has been in labor all day, but she and husband Will Arnett are now the proud parents to a son!

Amy's TV partner, Seth Myers will do Weekend Update by himself, but I'm sure he can handle it.

No other details of the birth are available yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Congrats! And although we're happy for Amy, the birth of her baby, means no more SNL (waaaa!) but last weekend she was hilarious, heavily pregnant doing her rap routine on Weekend Update, with Sarah Palin at the desk too. Check it out HERE!

*Updated* Amy and Will have named their son Archie Arnett, who was born in New York and he weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz. Their rep Lewis Kay said, "Amy, Will and Archie ar all healthy and resting comfortably."

Will Arnett on Baby Names

Karl Erikson — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:21:00 GMT

Funny man Will Arnett has been kicking around baby names with wife Amy Poehler. The couple are expecting next month.

"I want to call our baby Midnight or 411," Arnett said, "I really like information, and being a night owl. It's a good fit."

Wow, I had a cat named Midnight for 14 years. I think it'd be a fitting tribute. She got lost when my family moved back from New Mexico to New York, though. Maybe it wouldn't be a good name, after all. I kinda get weepy whenever I think of Midnight. If I started tearing up every time I saw Amy Poehler's baby, that would be rough. I'm sure she's going to be a big part of the Famecrawler family in years to come.

Speaking of Poehler, she says the couple is bound for Los Angeles pretty soon. "I'll miss living in NYC," she said, "but I won't miss working in midtown during the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting."

Amy Poehler Crying About Everything These Days

Karl Erikson — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:33:00 GMT

Amy Poehler, 37, is perhaps the only funny piece left on Saturday Night Live and she's been nominated for an Emmy because of it. Now she's leaving after the November election to have her baby and start on a new prime-time comedy series. She sat down with USA Today recently and talked about her pregnancy.

Q: So, how's the pregnancy going?
A: Oh, my God, I'm crying at everything lately. I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and I was crying so hard. There's no shame in that. I'm crying at everything. The wind will blow a branch and I'm like, aw, nature.

Q: You look great.
A: You have no idea. I ate two waffles, a banana and cereal with blueberries. And that was between my two breakfasts.

Q: Will the pregnancy be written into some sketches?
A: Being pregnant and doing comedy is like wearing a giant sombrero in every scene. Everyone is just trying to pretend it's not there. It can be limiting. It gets boring. (So her belly will be hidden as much as possible.)

Q: You're shooting the new show in L.A. and it's not a spinoff ofThe Office, right?
A: The show is going to start shooting in February. We'll shoot six or seven episodes. It's the same style and from the same creators as The Office. It's going to be that similar style, another small-town setting. I'm excited about it.

Q: Any dreams for the baby?
A: I don't care if it's a girl or a boy, I want it to marry Alice Richmond, Tina (Fey)'s daughter. We'd make a lovely mother and mother-in-law of the bride.

Tina Fey is Sarah Palin on SNL - Video

Live! From New York! It's NOT Amy Poehler!

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:34:00 GMT

Amy Poehler, who is major league preggers, says she'll be leaving Saturday Night Live after the November election to give birth to her first child. Poehler, 37, just did one of the most popular skits ever on Saturday, playing Hillary Clinton next to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin.

"It's gonna be really hard - Boys II Men hard - to say goodbye to yesterday," Amy says in the latest issue of Men's Vogue. "SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."

Oh, my dear, sweet Amy. SNL hasn't been a good drug in a really, really long time. Still, you were one of the only good parts left.

And lest you think that Amy is coming back after maternity leave, forget it. She'll be gone for good. In fact, the producers of "The Office" are getting her ready for her own NBC series. She'll also continue doing voicework for her animated kids' show "The Mighty B!"

It's a sad, sad day for Saturday nights.

Juno We're Not Responsible

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:15:00 GMT

Um, no we're not responsible. That's what Jason Bateman had to say to Access Hollywood about the 17 Massachusetts girls who got pregnant at the same time so they could have and raise their kids together.

“Unfortunately, we’ve had these instances where guys kill people because of what they hear in rock ‘n roll lyrics or some garbage like that. Look, if you’re going to blame a movie or song for your actions, whether they be good or bad, I think you’re looking at the wrong things to influence your life.”

What a polite answer. Here around the water cooler all we can say is, Really!, you've got to be kidding me, why on earth would they do that and where were their parents. That's the nice version.

He's a much nicer person than I am.

Jason Bateman-Is All Growns Up

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:43:00 GMT

Jason Bateman, 39, is all grown up.

Jason Bateman lucked out when he landed the role of Michael Bluth on Arrested Development and he knows it. He says, "A lot of people in America didn’t watch Arrested Development but folk in LA did and they’re the ones hiring." That role brought him back to the attention of Hollywood. He has been working non-stop since then, which is a double edged sword because all the work takes him away from his wife Amanda and his daughter Francesca.

His wife Amanda is the daughter of the famous 60's singer Paul Anka and Jason has said that she is a big part of the reason that helped him grow up and be a great husband and father.

In talking about his wife Amanda he said in an interview with The Independant "She was a very close friend, and it’s worked because I don’t need to be in a certain mood to like her – she’s like a friend who you never tire of. And since then I haven’t been picking jobs that are frivolous and celebrity-making; they are jobs that are career-making. Hopefully I’ve made some decisions and I’ll reap the benefits. My wife is definitely responsible for a lot of that.”

Jason also talked about the movie Juno, "I mean, Juno's a good film but, good God! They talked about it like it was the second coming. And then, there's other films that get slammed like Smokin' Aces, which I had a small part in. I thought Joe Carnahan did an incredible job and they killed him for it. But who knows? All you can do is just act in these things."

I always thought he was such a punk in Silver Spoons. I remember the episode in which Ricky and Derrick were going to open a shop and Derrick wanted to call it "DERRICKS" so it would have both of their names in it.

Jason Bateman at Kidstock

Whit Honea — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:51:00 GMT

It's Kidstock, stay away from the brown diaper.

Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda took their daughter Francesca to Kidstock in Beverly Hills. It's like woodstock, but for kids, with corporate sponsorship, and in Beverly Hills. Still about the freedom, man, but not so much.

Looks fun though.
