Landing at Home

2013 People's Choice Awards - Arrivals
A baby is on the way for Morena Baccarin and husband Austin Chick, the Homeland star, 33, confirmed with People magazine through her representative.    Baccarin, who plays Jessica Brody in the critically acclaimed drama on Showtime about the war on terror, already has practice playing a mom, as she does very well for her two on-screen kids.  But for her and husband Chick, a director and writer, this will be their first real life experience with the first child for the couple who married in November 2011.  As the third season of her hit show begins production, Baccarin can always lean on the advice of another new mom, Claire Danes, who stars in the show, and who spent the filming of season 2 pregnant.  But it worked in the end for Danes, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of a mentally ill CIA agent.  Let’s hope the same for Morena.

Potter’s Products

If acting doesn’t work out for Parenthood star (even though the career has seems to be working pretty well thus far), she has another skill that she could put to work, inventing cleaning products.  This modern day Mrs. Clean told Us Weekly last month, “I sent in the patents today for a lice spray, I know I’m weird”.  It’s not weird at all, rather it seems a very impressive feat for a mother of three, who is juggling family life with a busy acting career.  Potter described her process a little more saying, “I’m working in my little lab and doing inventions and things.

Usually the stories about celebrity pregnancies and births are joyous ones, etched in love and hope for the future.  Under a normal circumstance an expectant child brings a couple closer together as they await their mutual creation.  This is not the case for one celebrity couple who recently announced a split only a couple of months from their due date.  Biggest Loser Season 9 contestants Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson, who met while competing on the show, and lost a combined 241 pounds, began a whirlwind courtship that ended in their marriage in April of 2012.  And now with Anderson seven months pregnant it appears as though they are through, with Anderson telling Us Weekly, “It is with great sadness that my marriage to Sam Poueu is ending.  Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy during this difficult time”.  According to a representative they have already begun divorce proceedings.
