Amy news is still extremely slow.  I do check at least twice a day for any new happenings but I’m sure that she will be keeping a low profile for at least a couple more months.  She was spotted out and about and you can view those candids at various sites around the web but we of course won’t be posting them here.

In The Fighter news, a release date of November 26, 2010 has been set.  I don’t know about you all but I am really looking forward to seeing this.  Early buzz is saying another Oscar nomination and with the lack of any really quality performances this year so far, I think they may be right. Any thoughts?

Another press release for the upcoming AFI Life Achievement Award to Mike Nichols has been released. From this latest one, it looks like Amy will not be in attendance after all. I will check my sources the day of the taping just in case though. A new Amy event would be awesome!

NEW YORK, June 1 /PRNewswire/ — The American Film Institute and TV Land announced today that many of Hollywood’s finest will be on hand to salute acclaimed and beloved film, television and stage director Mike Nichols when he receives the 38th AFI Life Achievement Award on June 10, 2010 on the historic Stage 15 at the Sony Pictures Studios.

When a pregnant Amy Adams told UsMagazine in January that she tended “to be more attracted to traditional names,” it led us to expect something as straightforward as Amy or fiance’s name Darren Le Gallo. But when her daughter arrived on May 15, she was given an anything but traditional name.

Aviana Olea is, in fact, a pair of names not to be found in any list of conventional monikers. Aviana, which might be seen as a ultra-feminine, or feminissima, elaboration of the mega-popular Ava, now No. 5 on the recently released Social Security Administration list of most popular girls’ names. Given to more than 15,000 babies last year, its starting syllable is related to the Latin word for bird, avis.

In addition to the countless celebs who have chosen Ava for their daughters — from Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe to Hugh Jackman to Paz Vega — others have chosen names from the same family. Gossip Girl’s Matthew Settle has an Aven, Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn have a daughter named Avery — which is rapidly growing in popularity — and Daniel Baldwin stuck to the original Avis.

Soundwise, Aviana is also a cousin to a whole clan of currently trendy names, including Ariana/Arianna, Adriana, Audriana, Aliana/Eliana and Viviana.

Middle name Olea is an equally intriguing choice. Following through on the Latin theme, it is the name of the genus of evergreen trees that includes the olive. It is also an occasionally used Norwegian and Danish girls’ name and is said to be an Old Hebrew word for night or moon.

I just received an email from People Magazine who has confirmation from Amy’s rep that she did in fact give birth to a baby girl over the weekend. The baby weighs in at 7lbs and they’ve named her Aviana Olea Le Gallo. A great big congratulations to Amy and Darren and their entire family. You will be amazing parents!

So Amy fans, how excited are you? Happy they had a girl? Like the name? If leaving a comment, please be respectful.

According to Radar (not the most reliable of sources), Amy and Darren welcomed a 7lb girl over the weekend. If it is true I want to say a great big congratulations to the happy new parents. There is no further information about the name.  Even if this ends up being false, her due date has to be anytime now so stay tuned as Enchanting Amy will be keeping you up-to-date with the baby news.

People Magazine has released their list of 2010′s most beautiful and Amy is on it!  The issue (featuring Sandra Bullock on the cover) should be on newsstands in the US tomorrow.  If anyone can scan the page with Amy for us, we’d greatly appreciate it.

One of our lovely visitors Mac posted this as a comment to my post about possible award show appearances.

Amy Adams called in Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today (Jan 8, 2010) & she did mention that she was attending the Globes. Didn’t say if she meant the awards ceremony itself or one of those “support parties” the Globes are popular for. I presumed she meant the ceremony.

You can still listen to her talking to Seacrest using the above link.

Thank you very much for the info Mac!

Personally, I am very happy to hear that she likes traditional names.

“I don’t know yet! I really don’t know yet,” Amy revealed to OK! at the New York premiere of Leap Year on Wednesday night. “I’m gonna have to really meet the person before I know the name. I tend to be attracted to more traditional names, but who knows?”
