It's hard to relate to the leading lady of a romantic comedy as she gets kissed for the first time when you're preggers and all you can think about are babies!
From unexpected pregnancies and inappropriate surrogates, to backup plans and pregnant teens, there are plenty of funny movies a mama-to-be can rent while there's a bun in her oven — and they all have one thing in common, an expectant leading lady. Click through and check out these 10 funny movies to watch while expecting.
When Juno came out in 2007, it introduced an entirely new dictionary of terms with it. Diablo Cody won an Oscar for writing an original script with such whip-smart dialogue, and I will admit that I totally loved it and, soon after, started calling people "homeskillet." Below are some of my favorite lines from the flick. What are yours?

NASA's Juno spacecraft took off from Florida for a five-year mission to Jupiter yesterday, and while we already shared some fun facts about the mission (including those adorable Lego figures that are on board), we finally have some pics of the liftoff to share as well. Click through the gallery to see the first solar-powered craft (the solar panels are in the "closed" position in these images) take off from Cape Canaveral!
At 11:34 a.m. EDT today, NASA's Juno space craft launched into space from Cape Canaveral on a mission to Jupiter. The gas giant is still a mystery to Earthlings, and the purpose of the mission is to study the origins of Jupiter (which scientists believe was the first planet to form in the solar system), find out if there's a solid mass underneath all that gas, and help us understand other planets surrounding our solar system. The billion-dollar mission is ripe with fun facts. Check out a few of them below!
Calling all couples: if you're looking for even more costume ideas to pull off this Halloween, take a tip from mizlahra. She posted this cute pic of herself as pregnant Juno (she stuffed a pillow under her belly to make it work) alongside her very own Paulie Bleeker. Their costumes look identical to the real thing.

Announcing a pregnancy is a big deal, and some moms-to-be have trouble deciding when the best time is to tell their family and friends that a babe is on the way. Diablo Cody, 31, best known for winning an Oscar for writing Juno, took another approach. Today, she twittered:
"Thanks for the congrats on my fetus! No secrets here; just thought it would be fun to see how big I could get before someone noticed."

As we come to the close of another year, I've been counting down the best in entertainment from over the past 12 months. But let's not forget that we're also celebrating the end of the decade, so you know what that means — a recap of the top music, movies, and TV from 2000-2009! There have been so many creative, smart, and fun choices to keep me busy that it's hard to decide which ones deserve top honors. So beginning with films, here are my favorites, in no particular order. (If you don't agree — or if you'd like to submit your own top five, 10, or 20 — you can do so in the Buzz Best of the Decade Group)!
Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. This week is all about gifting your peers. Yesterday I suggested some gifts for the Sex and the City fan, and today I've rounded up a few of those gifts that keep on giving: TV- and movie-themed t-shirts.
I like wearing shirts with funny TV and movie lines on them because people are either like, "Ha! Yeah!" or "What is that from?" If it's the former, you've identified a fellow fan and if it's the latter, you've started a conversation about one of your favorite shows/movies. It's win-win, really.
Got an '80s movie fan in your circle of friends? Check out these t-shirts inspired by Dirty Dancing and Sixteen Candles. Here's a Twilight-inspired t-shirt for anyone you know who's into the movie or the book series (it cracked me up, anyway). I love this straightforward "Seriously" t-shirt from Grey's Anatomy, and this Lost inspired Dharma Orchid tee will work for a superfan. Finally, for the younger at heart I found this funny Juno t-shirt (I love the word "shenanigans") and Gossip Girl fans will rejoice when they find out someone stuck Blair's "mother-chucker" line on a shirt.

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. We're talking kids and teens this week, and since we've covered the boys already, today it's all about the teen girls.
Teenage girls (I know because I was one) can be hard to shop for since the age lends itself to phases. So, as Heidi would say, one day a gift is in, and the next — it's out. Today I've got some fun gifts that might satisfy varying tastes of entertainment-obsessed teens.
When I saw this hamburger phone I laughed to myself and thought of a few younger cousins who A) loved Juno and B) have a keen sense of irony. I've also yet to run into a young lady who doesn't (secretly or publicly) enjoy those Traveling Pants movies, and this limited-edition gift set looks awesome. In terms of gifting a music-loving girl, I think it would be hard to go wrong with the Gossip Girl soundtrack.
Finally, I love giving books to my loved ones for the holidays and found some great ones for girls, including this book of personal essays by teenage girls and a career guide based on shows like Ugly Betty.
