She’s funny. She’s got Hillary Clinton nailed. She’s 37. And she just had a baby boy with her husband, Will Arnett (who I will also love forever for his genius portrayal of the character Gob Bluth on Arrested Development). Which makes Amy Poehler AWESOME.
Congratulations Amy and Wil! Welcome to the world, little Archie Arnett!

Man, I was an X-files FREAK, but only for one season. Season 4, of course, just before Fight the Future came out. How psyched am I to be pregnant the same time as Gillian Anderson? Well, quite, thanks very much.
I hear she’s due in October. Danged soon! Good luck Gillian – I’m sure you’re wicked psyched to meet your new little alien. And because I know you’re curious, she’s 40. This will be her third kid.

Desiree Gruber, 41 year old executive producer for Project Runway, gave birth to a fine little baby boy in July of this year. No, I don’t watch Project Runway, but celebrating any woman giving birth – and for the first time, even! – in her 40s must be given the double enthusiastic thumbs up. Go, girl.

I will tell you with a straight face, celebrity culture pisses me off. When I see Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah, Cher, whoever staring slack jawed at me from the cover of some cheap mag in the grocery store, I seeth. And not quietly, either.
But…but…but…something about famous women over 35 giving birth makes me go, “Ha! See! Being pregnant over 35 = AWESOME.” There’s scant logic to it. If der media says it’s worthwhile to put a celebrity on the cover who’s pregnant in her later 30s, 40s or whenever then there’s some “Hey, if she can do it so can I” that ensues.
Today’s famous mom is Minnie Driver. At 38 years old, she gave birth to a little boy on September 5th.

Ever since Good Will Hunting I’ve thought she was plenty cool, so I’m happy to see she’s also a new mom. Good luck Minnie!
