File this one under “perfect freakin’ timing.”

Following a stellar weekend at the box office for the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler comedy Baby Mama (it won the weekend), comes word that Poehler is actually pregnant. According to People, Poehler and husband Will Arnett are due this fall. They’ve been hitched since 2003. In Hollywood, that’s like being married for an eternity. Good for them.

Seriously, though, could this announcement have come at a better time? People are already buzzing about Baby Mama and now this. Her PR reps and agents must be salivating at the news. Maybe I’m jaded or overly negative, but I find it hard to believe that this wasn’t a wee bit planned - the news, not the kid. I mean, c’mon. She’s pregnant and she’s in a movie where she’s pregnant. If it tanks, announce the good news whenever you feel like it. But if it does well, which it did, then you’ve got one hell of a push for the film’s marketing campaign.
