Amanda Peet Going the Whole Nine Months
Amanda is ready to hear the pitter patter of tiny Peets.
The actress and her fiancé, 25th Hour screenwriter David Benioff, are expecting their first child together, Peet's publicist, Stephen Huvane, said Friday.
Peet, 36, and Benioff, who's currently working on the script for the X-Men spinoff Wolverine, have been engaged since July 2005.
However, the important question is, will Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip be building a nursery now? The NBC series, arguably the most anticipated new show of the season, premieres Monday with Peet as Jordan McDeere, an obviously smokin'-hot network president...who's single. So just how quickly will those looks of longing coming from the direction of staff writer Matt Albie, played by Matthew Perry, turn into something more?
The Studio 60 folks didn't say much regarding the implications Peet's pregnancy may have for the show, but they did offer their congratulations, of course.
"Everyone at Studio 60 is thrilled to learn we will have a baby on set," the series' executive producers said in a statement. "We extend our love and best wishes to Amanda and David. If it's a boy, Nate Corddry has agreed to perform the bris."
Aw.
Over in ABC land, producers are trying to decide whether Marcia Cross' real-life pregnancy is going to be written into the plot on Desperate Housewives, just as Jennifer Garner's bun in the oven became Sidney Bristow's first child on Alias.
But just in case Aaron Sorkin and the rest of the Studio 60 brain trust aren't ready to add a due date to Jordan's packed schedule, they have a host of other options to choose from to mask Peet's belly bump and/or her desire to spend some time away from the set (if she's so inclined).
They can have Peet stop tucking in her shirt and sit behind a desk, á la Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: SVU. Hargitay had her baby in June but Detective Olivia Benson will be on special assignment during the first six episodes this season, which were shot during the actress' maternity leave.
Or Peet can go for the always-holding-a-plate-of-food-while-sitting-on-the-couch ruse that sorta worked for Debra Messing on Will & Grace, until Messing was ordered to stay in bed and had to miss the last three episodes of season seven. Grace must have gotten pretty comfortable on that couch, though, because a pregnancy was worked into the sitcom's final season this year.
Then there's the kidnapped-by-aliens route, which The X-Files took to accommodate the birth of Gillian Anderson's daughter, Piper Maru, in 1994. Series creator Chris Carter was named godfather. Scully eventually returned to Earth, but she didn't end up pregnant until the show's second-to-last season.
If all else fails, throw caution to the wind and dress Peet in empire-waisted ensembles. It worked for Sarah Jessica Parker in the fifth season of Sex in the City. Then again, Carrie Bradshaw could have shown up in a muumuu and audiences would have just assumed it was another quirky new look, along the lines of huge flower brooches and teeny-tiny hats.
