Amy Poehler and her husband, Will Arnett, are "expecting their first child," their rep Lewis Kay confirmed to X17. This isn't the only good news for Poehler - Baby Mama, Poehler's movie with Saturday Night Live co-star Tina Fey, snagged the number one spot at the box-office this past weekend. Poehler plays a surrogate mother in the film - how ironic! The couple have been married since 2003, and the baby is due in late fall. Congrats! Wonder if Tina Fey is gonna be the godmother?

Baby Mama premiere featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

The Saturday Night Live alums were at The Baby Mama premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last night to support Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Among the familiar funny faces were Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, and Rachel Dratch - who has found a job after mentioning her unemployment plight earlier this month. The film is about a career woman played by Fey who hires a goofy irresponsible woman, Amy Poehler’s character, to be her surrogate. There is some speculation that Poehler might be coincidentally pregnant since she’s wearing this flouncy dress, but I think it’s just the style of the dress. Poehler, 36, has been married to Arrested Development’s Will Arnett, 37, since August, 2003, and they have two dogs but no children yet. Her co-star Tina Fey, 37, has a daughter, Alice, who is two and a half.

Fey told People Magazine a funny story about how she gained weight quickly during her pregnancy by eating too many donuts:

“Somewhere during my pregnancy I gained something like nine pounds in two weeks and my doctor was like, ‘You know what it might be? Are you drinking a lot of juice?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. That must be it.’ ” said the 30 Rock Emmy winner, 37. “I was eating like a box a day of Entenmann’s donuts.”

Here’s the trailer. It looks amusing but not incredible, and is getting mixed reviews.

The Coming Tina Fey Backlash [Movies]

Everyone loves Tina Fey, and she hopes it stays that way. Her new film Baby Mama opens the Tribeca Film Festival tonight, and in an interview with Reuters today she admits, "You would be foolish to think, 'Oh everyone has really discovered that I am truly, truly wonderful.'" Her anticipation of her own backlash, aside, when a star argues that she is "not entirely selling out," you know the fear of the 'lash is in her heart. Baby Mama's opening weekend faces steep competition from stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, and with her NBC show 30 Rock moving into a new time slot, Fey's distinctive appeal needs to last a bit longer. Here are the troubling signals that Tina's edgy humor and general cuteness may be waning.

Tina has cannily avoided becoming too ubiquitous during her climb to the top, and though we'd be crazy if we didn't give her a fighting chance to stay in our good graces forever, she needs to make changes to ensure she isn't caught up in a wave of negative energy. Cue the chanting from the Britney episode of South Park:

Too busy to write her own material. When the guy who wrote the second two Austin Powers movies is writing and directing your latest vehicle, it's natural to get that lump in your throat. Breathe easy; those movies may have sucked, but they made $598 million in theaters worldwide. With that said, you can't offer monetary compensation to a backlash, it feeds purely on cynicism, jealousy and Twizzlers.

The amount of staged photos taken of her causes a temporal rift in Earth's atmosphere. She's on a fake city street in Entertainment Weekly. She's popping open a bottle of Grey Goose in Vanity Fair. She's sprawled across a couch for Reuters. Yes, she looks fabulous, but Tina, save your best for reputable publications like Marie Claire.

Even the good reviews start to sound a little bad. It's to be expected that the Catholic News Service finds Baby Mama "morally problematic"; if they didn't, they'd just be plain "News Service," and no one wants that. The New Yorker's review, where Anthony Lane argues that Tina "hasn’t yet made up her mind how funny her body is meant to be" augurs nothing positive, even though I barely understand what Lane is saying. We'll reserve further judgment until seeing Baby Mama ourselves, but it may have trouble topping MILF Island no matter how funny it is.

Her cute interview style has become a little over the top. Tina is the master of the quippy interview. Recently, she's done 5,000 of them, and it was inevitable that she would come across as cloying in a few, as when she took the fight to Jon Stewart, or informed an interviewer that "my daughter wore a power suit and had a teeny tiny resume made of candy." OK, that's pretty funny, but jokes about not having time to put lotion on? Take a nap and then write down some good interview anecdotes on notecards for the next one, will you Fey?

Tina, we volunteer to stop this backlash before it really gets rolling by way of sitting next to you during interviews and whispering, "That's cute, but stop it," in your ear whenever you stray off message. Even if your new movie disappoints, we will always have this sterling clip of you and Amy getting parental with Sigourney Weaver to cherish.

Moonlighting: Brian Williams Is Hilarious, Has Boobs

Posted: August 27th, 2007, 9:00am CDT

Tags: Amy Poehler

Last night, NBC News anchor Brian Williams appeared in the mildewed basement of the Upright Citizen's Brigade theater. He was doing standup—well, a comedy monologue—which was really confusing (that it was happening, not in its substance). Also he has a mighty rack. Some sort of steroid usage was responsible for that. They've since gone down a bit. Why was he there? Apparently he is good friends with SNL's Amy Poehler.
In one of his monologues, Williams explained his reaction to news that Seth Myers (who was performing and on stage through all of this) was joining the cast of SNL (and thus Williams' parent company NBC). "I was like, 'who's tapping that?'" Who indeed?

The audience, usually a combination of comedy geeks and their parents (N.B.: I brought my mom when she was in town too), was oddly famous. David Schwimmer, Rashida Jones and Amy Smart [Ed. Note: Yeah, I had to Google her too] were on hand.

The only other thing we really remember of Williams' monologue is that we think that he casually referred to a vagina as a j.j., which is great. He also mentioned that he had read on Gawker.com that one can refer to vaginas as "snooches," which he particularly liked and which also means he's a big fan of The Astor Place Porn Vendor.

[UPDATE: For the record, the steroids thing isn't nefarious —he was on a six-day regimen for a ruptured disk. It's not like he's sex-transitioning or preparing to cheat in the Olympics or anything.]
