'PREGNANT MAN' PREGNANT AGAIN • "Thomas Beatie, the controversial 'pregnant man' who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year, reveals to Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview that he is pregnant again with his second child."
'SEX' CAUSES PREGNANCY? "Teenagers who watch Sex in the City, Friends and other TV shows featuring sex scenes and discussions of sex are far more likely to get pregnant or get someone else pregnant than their peers, a new study has found. The study, which tracked more than 700 sexually active teenagers aged between 12 and 17 for three years, discovered that those who viewed the most sexual content were almost twice as likely to get pregnant or get their girlfriend pregnant as those who saw the least explicit TV."
HYSTERIA (HA!) AROUND 'PREGNANT MAN' CONTINUES "British independent TV producer and distributor DCD Media Plc said on Thursday it had won worldwide rights to produce a documentary on the 'pregnant man' for Britain's Channel Four. DCD's September Films unit beat four other production firms to win the commission, and will have exclusive access to Thomas Beatie, the first man in the world to give birth, for the hour-long documentary, the company said."
SIKE! "Actress Angelina Jolie's doctor has said her twins may take a few more weeks to arrive. Dr Michel Sussmann said at a news conference that the 32-year-old was doing fine and would give birth 'in the weeks to come.' Dr Sussmann stressed that the actress had checked into the hospital to be closely monitored, not because of any medical emergency."
This week In Touch made Los Angeles Times blogger Liz Snead — who's been calling on Angelina Jolie to SHOW YOURSELF!!! – a very happy woman: At last, since Entertainment Tonight first falsely reported the superstar mom had given birth to her twins, there's photo evidence that … she hasn't.
Thomas Beatie, the pregnant "man" who actually has a uterus and a vagina and is a woman, is finally in his ninth month, huge with the baby right-wing zealots are so mad he's having.
Because his pregnant body looks strange – like a lowercase b instead of an uppercase B – and because the miracle of birth will soon put an end to the oddity, photos of the guy were made a few days ago. Now the world will never forget the most famous pregnant woman with a crew cut who ever lived.
NANNY-CUM-MOMMY "Ethan Hawke and his fiancée, Ryan Shawhughes, are getting ready to walk down the aisle. The star and the 'very pregnant' former nanny of his children with Uma Thurman are expecting their first bundle together, and spies at the Municipal Building on Centre Street yesterday morning saw the couple applying for their marriage license."

An aged and loopy Dustin Hoffman told reporters yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival that the very pregnant Angelina Jolie is due August 19. Hoffman worked with Jolie on the animated film Kung Fu Panda, which apparently gives him the right to go around revealing to the press very intimate details about his co-star's life. Nice one, old man.
'BABIES ARE THE NEW BLACK' "Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag will spend the summer staging a fake pregnancy, a new tabloid report claims. … 'This summer, Heidi plans to wear loose clothes and even strap on some padding around her waist to make it appear as if she’s about three months along. The plan is to get the baby rumor mill going so she can get photographed more. She and Spencer won’t confirm or deny the pregnancy so they can keep everyone guessing.'"
A MOVABLE FEAST "Pete Doherty … the junkie rocker, has purchased three more cats – taking his tally to ten. If a house full of [cats] wasn’t enough, Pete thought it would be a good idea to buy pregnant mice to roam around his Wiltshire home as the perfect feast for his kitties."

Despite the fact that many people find it inaccurate to use the word another in the following sentence: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes want to spawn "another" baby.
According to a "friend" close to the couple (and E!, apparently), Katie has "the itch," which we assume is a gross way of saying she'd like to have more children. The aforementioned friend also says Tom loves the idea of a new kid: "He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn't have to ask twice." He'll have his people call her people and set up an intercourse ASAP.

Do you have some of the milkiest, whitest skin the Northwest has ever seen? Has any underminer ever given you the backhanded compliment that you look like Charlize Theron were she noticeably fatter? If so, you could be in a movie opposite Viggo Mortensen, according to a recent ad in a Portland paper.
Anybody ever tell you that you look like Charlize Theron . . . especially if Theron were four months pregnant?
If so, then Portland's Lana Veenker Casting Co. would like to see a photo of you — your full body and swollen tummy, as well as your face — as soon as possible. Veenker is looking for someone to play Theron's double next month when a movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Road," begins filming in Portland.
The Academy Award-winning actress is scheduled to play the wife of actor Viggo Mortensen. With such a high-caliber cast, no fake pregnant bellies would do.
To be considered, you need to have milky-white skin and radiant blond or dirty-blond hair. You need to stand a regal 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 and normally wear an envied size 6 or 8. Having Theron's sultry eyes and full lips may be optional depending upon the demands of the scenes but certainly won't hurt your chances.
Don't worry, prudes: if chosen, there'd be no nude scenes. Compensation is $125 per day. So what are you waiting for, Oregon blonds with "envied" figures? Start eating and stop using birth control.
So, this "pregnant man," Thomas Beatie? Hate to burst everyone's bubble and ruin all the press, but "he" is actually still physically a woman. So, y'know, chill.
It's important that the transgender cause get press and it's absolutely within Beatie's right to have a child with whomever he loves, but it's not like Dan Marino's preggo. Beatie has a womb and a menstrual cycle, people! Quit freaking out like he's a seahorse.
