Jessica Alba’s a Mama-to-Be
Jessica Alba and boyfriend Cash Warren will soon be a fantastic three.
The couple is expecting their first child together in late spring or early summer, Alba's rep Brad Cafarelli confirmed Wednesday.
People was first to report news of the pregnancy.
Alba, 26, and Warren, the 28-year-old son of former Hill Street Blues star Michael Warren, have dated on and off since the fall of 2004, after meeting on the set of The Fantastic Four, in which she starred and he worked as a director's assistant.
So far, there's no word on how the impending addition may affect Alba's upcoming production schedule.
She recently wrapped filming on The Love Guru, opposite Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake, and is attached to star in the long delayed Sin City sequel.
She'll also be seen in the horror film The Eye, slated for release Feb. 1.
Alba also recently confirmed she was in talks to make her Broadway debut in a revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, playing the role originated by Madonna in the 1988 production.
"Well, there's a rumor. Yeah, I've been asked to do it," she said last month on Live with Regis and Kelly.
"But this is just talk. It's not really happening yet," she added.
At the time, Alba said that taking the role next summer might work out to be "perfect timing," should a potential strike by the Screen Actors Guild become a reality in June.
Now, it looks like said strike might coincide with her maternity leave instead.
AmericanLife: It’s swell
While channel-surfing on my little office TV last week around 1 a.m., looking for something to keep me company, I stumbled across an episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (star Richard Basehart, pictured), followed by Combat!.
“What is this channel that plays all these old shows I remember as a kid?” I asked the TV Gods.
“It’s AmericanLife,” they replied. “They feature classic family shows aimed at Baby Boomers — shows like Remington Steele, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, Lost in Space, and Welcome Back, Kotter.”
Ok, the TV Gods didn’t really say that. I looked it up on the AmericanLife Web site, not to be confused with Showtime’s This American Life, the fab documentary series hosted by Ira Glass.
AmericanLife also offers original shows, like Embassy Chefs, Flea Market Mania, American Family, and Fixing Dinner, which will air 13 new episodes this summer. The series features host and cookbook author Sandi Richard answering “dinnertime cries for help” for a different family each week.
I guess with the classic shows, they’re treading into TVLand territory, but AmericanLife also airs newer shows like L.A. Law, China Beach, WKRP in Cincinnati, and St. Elsewhere. I can’t tell you how excited I am to watch these shows again. China Beach is one of my all-time favorites, not to mention both of Bob Newhart’s series and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
And I especially like the middle-of-the-night shows. I’m writing this on Sunday night and looking forward to Hill Street Blues at 12 a.m., L.A. Law at 1 a.m., and Mission Impossible at 2 a.m.
My mission — and I do accept it — is to watch AmericanLife whenever possible.

Mariah Carey - I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time Lyrics
I’ll be lovin’ you long time
I… I’ll be lovin’ I’ll be lovin’ I’ll be lovin’ I’ll be lovin’
I’ll be lovin’ I’ll be lovin’ I’ll be lovin’ you
(Repeat)
You ain’t even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain’t nobody takin’ me away
It’s not a game I’m here to stay
See our love is stronger than any drug
Addictive just can’t get enough
And every time I’m with you I want some more
Just close the door and let’s explore each other
Long as I know you got me
I’ll be loving you long time (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (Eternally)
There’s no stopping you and me
I’ll be loving you long time (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (Eternally)
Don’t care what no one has to say
They don’t understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain’t nothin’ we can’t do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go
Long as I know you got me
I’ll be loving you long time (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (Eternally)
There’s no stopping you and me
I’ll be loving you long time (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (Eternally)
Don’t want another ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me
Don’t want another ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me
Don’t want another ain’t gon’ never be another
Can’t nobody do what you do to me
I’ll be loving you as long as I can breathe
Long as I know you got me
I’ll be loving you long time (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (eternally)
There’s no stopping you and me
I’ll be loving you long (As I can breathe)
I’ll be loving you long time (eternally)
