As if she's not busy enough — starring in Saturday Night Live every week, working on a new television sitcom and being pregnant — the magical Amy Poehler is starting a Web series titled Smart Girls at the Party. The show is basically what we all needed as preteens: It "aims to help girls find confidence in their own aspirations and talents, and to prove that you don't have to be famous to be interesting." We truly can't find one bad thing to say about Amy. That is one lucky baby in her womb.

ADDING TO THE PILE OF CELEBRITY BABIES "Usher and wife Tameka Foster are expecting their second child, Usmagazine.com has learned. The R&B singer, 29, and Foster, 38, welcomed their first child, Usher Raymond V, in November."

Seeing what the National Enquirer did with John Edwards — endless press (eventually) and a slight, but noticeable, newsstand bump — Us Weekly is definitely not getting left behind with, or letting the Enquirer own, the latest political scandal. Or, you know, the scandal that might not really be a scandal, just a little matter of unwed teen pregnancy.

Enter Sarah Palin.

BUT HE SEEMED LIKE SUCH A NICE BOY "In an exclusive interview with In Touch, 28-year-old Kelli Dawson reveals that she and Casey [Aldridge], 19, were romantically involved — and were still sleeping together when Jamie Lynn [Spears], now 17, was six months pregnant with his child. No fleeting hookup, Casey and Kelli’s relationship was both real and lasting — and it grew in intensity, even as Jamie Lynn announced she was pregnant. And, Kelli says, they still meet up on a regular basis. 'I see him all the time, at least once a week,' she shares."

MORE CELEBRITY TWINS ON THE WAY "Lisa Marie Presley is pregnant with twins, her rep confirms. … Presley, 40, who is expected to give birth in the fall, has two teenage children, daughter Riley, 19, and son Benjamin, 15, with ex Danny Keough. The twins will be Presley's first children with husband Michael Lockwood."

THE HOLLYWOOD BABY BOOM CONTINUES "Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell will soon be on double diaper duty. Us Weekly has learned that Romijn, 35, and O'Connell, 34, are expecting twins this winter. A spokesman for the couple confirmed the news Monday morning."

The creepy paparazzi caught Jennifer Garner over the weekend either looking really pregnant or suffering from the largest food baby ever. Seriously, what is it with all of these celebrities getting pregnant at the same time? Call us heartless, but we're getting tired of babies.

In case you had any question that Jessica Alba is a miserable shrew, please note what she told the UK version of Cosmopolitan when asked about her pregnancy body:

I never felt less sexy. I mean, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world and my cravings weren’t so bad — I craved citrus fruits, like lemons, oranges and grapefruit. But I wanted to get rid of all the weight.

And remember: She wants to be taken seriously as an actress — not just known for her body.

Ashlee Simpson's baby bump is growing bigger by the day, which leads me to wonder when she's going to retire the uncomfortable-looking skinny jeans and start sporting some maternity wear. Sure, she and husband Pete Wentz probably have closets full of skinny jeans in every brand and color, but those things are painful when you're sporting a food baby, let alone a real fetus. Or maybe that's just me.

LET THE HOOPLA CONTINUE "Thomas Beatie — the 34-year-old former woman turned transgendered pregnant man who went on Oprah — has given birth to a biological girl."

You know what you get when you’re a celebrity and you sign an exclusive deal with a tabloid? Bad karma from the rest of the magazines.

Jamie Lynn Spears, who signed a $1 million exclusive deal with OK! for her pregnancy story and pics, is getting stabbed by Star with a dramatic cover story exclaiming, “Delivery Room Drama!” Since Spears is prohibited from playing ball with the other celeb weeklies, there’s only one thing Star can do: deliver one piece of bad news after another. If only Spears hadn’t signed with OK!, she could’ve scored some protection.

If you direct your attention to the left, you will see two teenage parents-to-be showing their enthusiasm during an interview on today's Good Morning America. The girl is one of those rumored to have made a pact with her high school friends to get pregnant together — because it's the new fun thing to do! — but she insists those reports are false. We tried to listen to her reasoning, but the excitement in her voice just overwhelmed us to the point where we fell asleep. Good luck with the kid.
