There’s really been a run on pregnancy among the Hollywood crowd these days. If they haven’t just had a baby and are showing off their baby breasts, then they are denying their pregnancy even though their baby bumps tell it all.

Angelina Jolie is one of those that hasn’t confirmed she’s pregnant, but one look at this picture lets you know that the rumors she’s pregnant with twins could very well be true. Brad Pitt is keeping a close watch over her.

Then you have the expressionless Nicole Kidman. She’s elegant as usual except the necklace is WAY over the top. Its distracting actually. Still, she seems to like to show off her baby bump and Keith Urban is keeping watch over her as well.

Check out the stilettos Cate Blanchett is wearing! How is she keeping her balance. Her feet have to hurt big time! Jessica Alba just looks adorable.

Cate Blanchett was fashionable and pregnant at a premier for her Bob Dylan film, I’m Not There last night.

Cate and husband, Andrew Upton, have two sons, Dashiell (5) and Roman (3).

If you are going to make a movie about the life of Queen Elizabeth I, who else could you get to play the role of the Tudor Queen but Cate Blanchett? No one else could do it, of course. Not after her Oscar winning performance as the Queen in Elizabeth I.

At first Blanchett wasn’t interested in reprising her break out role, but after reading the script decided she would. The first movie (1998) focused on the young Queen and her early reign. The new movie, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, focuses on an older Elizabeth I and her relationship with adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh.

Really, she is just fantastic in that role. I can’t imagine anyone else playing the part convincingly at all after her Elizabeth I performance. I think she’s one of the greatest actresses of our time.
