Did Breastfeeding Really Help You Lose the Weight?

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:34:26 PST

Breastfeeding makes the pregnancy pounds melt off. That statement, and other's like it, are reason enough for many mamas to put their babies to their breasts. Celebs such as Naomi Watts and Angelina Jolie have credited their baby's feeding schedules with their own rapid weight loss, so many of us bought the claim hook, line, and sinker - including Jenna Fischer.

While walking the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Jenna Fischer talked about her struggle to lose the baby weight, saying:

Let me please stand in solidarity with all of the women who are not a size 2 six weeks after leaving the hospital. I thought, you read all of the stuff in magazines like, "Oh, I breastfed my baby and I am so skinny now." I am breastfeeding my baby and I am not getting any skinnier! I think I'm just going to be a little bit bigger for a little bit longer, and that's fine with me.

Jenna, whose son Weston Lee is four months old, joins Salma Hayek - who told Oprah that nursing did nothing to help her lose the weight - and countless others, including myself, who actually found the opposite to be true.

On Tuesday night, Jenna Fischer decided that the Tonight Show would be the perfect place to reveal the sex of her baby. She and her husband are planning for a September birth and the expecting mother says that the pregnancy is going very smoothly. Jenna did feel, however, that it was important to explain to the men watching what pregnancy hunger really feels like. Take a look and tell us if you felt the same way!

Jenna Fischer Shows Off Her Mom-to-Be Glow as Rumors Swirl That James Spader Is The Office's New Boss

Lindsay Miller — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 06:06:32 PDT

Jenna Fischer teamed up with her trainer in LA yesterday to fit in some exercise and showed off her growing baby bump in a form-fitting top. The Office actress is expecting her first child with her husband Lee Kirk, and flashed a wide smile during her afternoon workout. Jenna, who is originally from Missouri, has been focusing on some philanthropy as she enjoys a break from the set of her hit series. She teamed up on a fundraising auction for victims in her home state who were affected by the Joplin tornado, and one lucky bidder will win a set visit to The Office courtesy of her efforts. She and the rest of the comedy's cast and crew are coming up on their first full season without Steve Carell at the Dunder Mifflin helm, but rumors that James Spader might be the new boss and take on a role even bigger than Michael Scott's have started to gain traction.

Watch, Pass, or Rent: Hall Pass

BuzzSugar — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:37:00 PST

Hall Pass is the big comedy this weekend, but is it actually worth seeing? Or should you just stay home and catch the Oscars instead? The answer is pretty clear. Just read our review of the film, then watch this.

Hall Pass: Pass on This Unfunny Mess

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 03:05:00 PST

Hall Pass is the latest movie from the Farrelly brothers, the writing/directing pair who established their distinctive style with comedy classics like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary. This time around they stick to their formula of a basic plot sustained by edgy jokes and gross-out humor. Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson play Fred and Rick, a pair of buddies who are bored with their respective marriages. Rick (Wilson) is a suburban dad who can't help checking out other women, while Fred (Sudeikis) is basically a dog who seems to hate being married altogether.

Neither can control his roving eyes and inappropriate comments, and when their wives (Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer) get fed up with their antics, they each give their husband a "hall pass" - a one week break from being married. With their spouses out of town, Fred and Rick assume they're about to go wild as single men on the prowl. Their misadventures make for a journey that's often gross, vaguely offensive, and unfortunately, rarely funny. Find out why I wasn't into Fred and Rick's bachelor adventure when you

read more. The crude dialogue is pretty off-putting; Fred and Rick seem to care less about meeting women and more about seeing who can objectify them more. Fred's commentary, in particular, is traumatically bad. While it may just be the character, Sudeikis makes Fred an obnoxious pig with little respect for women and even less for his marriage. When his wife Grace (Applegate) is similarly tempted by the fruit of another, you actually hope that she strays from her bad-mannered spouse. One saving grace is Wilson, whose endearing nature is unshakable, even when forced to deliver the script's filthier lines. Still, even when his character's sentiment shows up, it's not enough to redeem him. Plus, if the dirty talk isn't what turns you off, then many of the graphic sight gags will. Should you choose to see this movie, don't do it right after eating. What's most unfortunate about the film is the opportunities it misses. It has the chance to be relatable when it comes to long-term relationships, but instead, it mocks marriage. And although Fischer and Applegate begin the movie as humorless shrews, they're given what could have been a substantial subplot following their girls' week in Cape Cod. It's more compelling than the mens' story, but it makes up so little of the movie. And while I want to say that the biggest thing missing from the movie is humor, it's even more lacking in heart.

Natalie, Amy, and Leonardo Celebrate Their Fearless Leaders at the Directors Guild Awards

Molly Goodson — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 14:34:18 PST

The 63rd annual DGA Awards brought together tons of big names in Hollywood last night. The King's Speech took home the top honors, proving that this award season it really is anyone's game when it comes to best picture. Natalie Portman stuck by The Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky and spoke about getting all dressed up during her pregnancy, saying, "There's so much going on, I'll just try not to trip at any point! I'm trying to protect my future child." Natalie opted for Michael Kors and Aldo heels for the Saturday evening event, and she'll be doing it all again today for the SAGs. Armie Hammer and Andrew Garfield represented the guys of The Social Network while Jesse Eisenberg was across the country hosting SNL with special guest Mark Zuckerberg. Leonardo DiCaprio chatted with Clint Eastwood, and Amy Adams celebrated another huge week, which included receiving an Oscar nomination. Her costar Melissa Leo got a nod in the same category, and their The Fighter's David O. Russell says picking a winner between the two would be like "living through Sophie's Choice." The stars are already getting red carpet ready for today so stay tuned here and on BuzzSugar for our updates from the action all night long!

Hall Pass Trailer: Wilson and Sudeikis Want to Break Free

Shannon Vestal — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 10:00:00 PST

Big screen infidelity: so hot right now. In the latest Farrelly Brothers movie, Hall Pass, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis play a couple of married men who can't keep their eyes off other women. When their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) are fed up with their ogling, they each grant their husbands what they think they want: a hall pass. This means one free week to act single, try to hook up with other women, and then come back to their spouses (who hope that the freedom will make them better husbands).

From the preview, it feels like the subject matter is supposed to be seen as light and funny, but Wilson and Sudeikis's characters just come off as creeps. The wives seem pretty blasé about it as well (I don't know if I'm rooting for them to see some action too, or if that would just make it worse). There's a couple of mildly funny parts, so I'm genuinely curious to see if the Farrelly Brothers can make infidelity hilarious (and if Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis can carry a lead role).
