Dressing Up for Red Carpet Not Fun for Pregnant Maya Rudolph

Karl Erikson — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:35:00 GMT

Pregnant comedienne Maya Rudolph stars in the new movie "Away We Go" with The Office star John Krasinski and it looks pretty funny. In the movie, Maya had to wear a make-believe baby bump. But she's not sporting a fake bump these days. The mom of 3-1/2-year-old Pearl is expecting Baby #2 with husband Paul Thomas Anderson.

When she showed up at the red carpet affair for her new movie premiere (which opens Friday), she talked about getting all dolled up for these Hollywood affairs. In short, "not fun."

"I do my best," Maya said. "This is super dressed up." Talking about her pregnancy, she said, "I was sick as a dog for the first trimester, but now I'm totally fine."

Sam Mendes, director of Rudolph's new movie, joked, "It's an amazing act of selflessness that Maya Rudolph agreed to become pregnant a second time to promote this movie."

Letterman's A Maiesiophile For Maya Rudolph?

On Tuesday's Late Show, David Letterman invited the very lovely and pregnant Maya Rudolph on to talk about her new movie Away We Go. Dave spent most of his time talking about how much he likes "big" pregnant women.

Dave: I like it when pregnant women are really big. I and I don't know-
Maya: You're talking about the stomach right?
Dave: Yeah, haha - and I don't know medically if that means anything, or it's just happenstance, or if it's nutritional. But I, I ... to me it indicates a certain level of healthiness.

Maiesiophilia, in case you're getting creeped out, simply refers to someone who's attracted to pregnant women, you know, like a fetish.

Anyway, Letterman seemed to get super excited when Maya revealed that she gained 70lbs during her first pregnancy from eating waffles and ice cream. Does Letterman have a thing for the pregnant ladies?

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Pregnant women need love too, some of them need a lot. There is something a little uncomfortable, however, with speculating too much about 62-year-old David Letterman's turn-ons, as hilarious as they may be.

Unfortunately for Letterman, Maya says she's gonna try to rein in her baby weight gain this time around.

Maya Rudolph Shows Off Her Baby Bump - Photos

Karl Erikson — Wed, 13 May 2009 22:34:00 GMT

Here's lovely Maya Rudolph outside the studio for the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday, showing off her baby belly. Maya recently announced her pregnancy with director boyfriend Paul Thomas Anderson.

Maya is mom to daughter Pearl Bailey, but says her new pregnancy is "totally different."

"When you have a three-and-a-half-year-old, you don’t have time to rest and nap and do all those sweet pampering type things you did for yourself the first time," Maya says. "You are like, ‘I got to get to bed!’"

Hell, just reading about being pregnant with a 3-1/2-year-old is making me ready for a nap, and I don't even have a uterus!

Maya Rudolph Is Pregnant

Maya Rudolph let it slip in an interview with ET Canada that she's not just playing a pregnant woman in her latest flick Away We Go -- she actually expecting baby #2 in real life.

"I wasn't planning on sharing it, but yes I am pregnant! ... I know it’s really weird timing.”

Call it irony or whatever, but Rudolf's baby bump on screen will pretty much mimic her real life baby bump when the cutesy Sam Mendes flick hits theaters on June 25th.

The lovely and talented Maya and boyfriend Paul Thomas Anderson already have a daughter together, Pearl Bailey, 3. Now in the midst of their second time around, Maya says things are totally different.

"When you have a three-and-a-half-year-old, you don't have time to rest and nap and do all the those sweet pampering type things you did for yourself the first time. You are like, 'I got to get to bed!'"

Congratulations Maya!

Oscar Nominations: Ex-Stripper Diablo Cody Gets a Nod for "Juno"

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:50:00 GMT

Taking off your clothes in public? People do it everyday in Hollywood, but few of them get nominated for an Oscar. Diablo Cody, who at one time made a living as a stripper, can now add Academy Award nominee to her colorful resume. Cody (whose real name is Brook Busey-Hunt) scored a nomination for her original screenplay for the hit indie film Juno. The movie, about a feisty 16-year old dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, got a total of four nominations including Best Picture.

A first-time screenwriter who also toiled as a phone-sex worker, Cody previously had some notoriety for her memoir, Candy Girl. The book chronicled her days working as a stripper while supporting her husband and then nine-year old stepdaughter.

Also important to note: Cody started off as a blogger on her site The Pussy Ranch. There's hope for all of us here: Today FameCrawler, tomorrow the Oscars!
