While she may not be able to buy Heidi Klum’s maternity designs yet, that isn’t stopping Amy Adams from looking fabulous during her pregnancy, thanks to designer Carolina Herrera! InStyle.com reports that the designer is reworking pieces from her current collections to create a custom-made wardrobe for the lucky mom-to-be. The Leap Year star tells InStyle.com that “They made my clothes for the entire press tour. They’re amazing. They did such a great job.” And the actress is wasting no time debuting her new sophisticated maternity pieces. On Jan. 4, Amy wore an aqua wool crepe dress for an appearance on Good Morning America. One day later, she stylishly stepped out in a gray mélange belted coat with red satin trim paired with a silk mulberry dress for a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman. Last night, the Leap Year star looked ravishing in a ‘lava red’ silk georgette dress at the movie’s premiere. What a fashionable baby bump!

The cable network Reelz Channel is running a segment on Amy and Leap Tonight during their show Hollywood Dailies.  According to the ad, the show airs at 10EST/PST.  Kristen from Reelz Channel was kind enough to email and also let me know that their website has several clips and interviews – a couple of which you can view after the cut.  Thank you so much Kristen!

What’s Amy Adams having?

“A baby!” she told USA TODAY’s Donna Freydkin over a breakfast of scrambled eggs and ham at the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

She and her fiance, actor Darren Le Gallo, haven’t learned if she’s having a boy or girl. “We don’t know for sure yet. We’ll definitely find out,” she says.

Does she hope for one gender over the other? “No preference,” says Adams, 35, radiant in a blue Carolina Herrera dress that the designer customized for the actress to fit her pregnant frame.

Adams, now promoting her romantic comedy Leap Year, is due in the spring. “I feel pretty good, I have to say. It’s been good,” she says. “I’ve been doing a lot of curling up at home so it’s nice to get out and be active.”

Amy will be a guest on Good Morning America tomorrow to promote Leap Year. We will have HD caps and clips up as soon as we can after it airs! :)

There has been no official word as to whether or not Amy will be at any of the ceremonies this awards season but since Julie & Julia is up for a Golden Globe and Meryl is nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award (and likely an Academy Award), there is a good chance Amy may make an appearance.  Just in case, here is a list of dates:

• Golden Globe Awards – January 17th
• Screen Actors Guild Awards – January 23rd
• Academy Awards – March 7th

Also, don’t forget that Amy is scheduled to be on three talk shows next week as she promotes Leap Year.

The press release for the world premiere of Amy’s movie Leap Year has been released.  Be sure to visit us that night as we will be posting as many photos as quickly as we can.

WHAT: The world premiere of the romantic comedy Leap Year
WHO: Leap Year director Anand Tucker; cast members Amy Adams, Matthew Goode and Adam Scott; and producers Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, Jonathan Glickman, Chris Bender and Jake Weiner. Plus many additional celebrity guests.

WHEN: Wednesday, January 6, 2010 5:00 PM Press Call Time 6:00 PM Celebrity Arrivals 7:00 PM Screening

Amy will be starting the press tour for Leap Year here soon. We already know of a few tv show stops she will be making. Here’s what we know so far.

• January 5 – The Late Show with David Letterman
• January 7 – Live with Regis & Kelly
• January 7 – Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

We plan to have HD screencaps and clips of all these as soon as possible after they air. If you happen to find any other appearances that we don’t know of yet please let us know.

In his review for Sunshine Cleaning, critic Robert Wilonsky said he thought the indie film had “the markings of a great Showtime series.”Wilonsky probably had no idea execs at Showtime were thinking the same thing. The pay cabler is, indeed, in the early stages of adapting Sunshine Cleaning into a TV series.

The cable net is developing the project inhouse and has tapped Megan Holley, who wrote the screenplay to Sunshine Cleaning, to rework it for the smallscreen.

It’s highly doubtful that they would be able to get the same cast to star in the series version.  But still, I’m intrigued.  What about you guys?  Would you watch the series even if Amy isn’t in it?

I think any woman that intends on having a career and a family simultaneously thinks about the challenge of balancing that, and also balancing that with the relationship and keeping that going well. It’s definitely something that’s on my mind.

During our AFM coverage, we premiered the promo poster for The Promised Land (formerly The Wettest Country in the World), the next film from director John Hillcoat and writer Nick Cave (who previously teamed up to make The Proposition) with Shia LaBeouf, Ryan Gosling, and Amy Adams set to star. However, in tiny print at the bottom was the note “credits not contractual”. With that in mind, it looks like Amy Adams won’t be heading to The Promised Land now that she is with child.

During the press junket for her upcoming film Leap Year, Adams said that she just finished David O. Russell’s The Fighter and that she’ll be taking a break from filmmaking until next summer. While it sucks that the highly talented Adams won’t be part of Hillcoat’s killer collaboration, hopefully they’ll find a replacement of equal or greater talent. Unfortunately for The Promised Land, there aren’t many who measure up to Adams.
