Amanda Peet is a Mom Twice Over


Amanda Peet ditched out on The Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday.

Unlike Sen. John McCain, who Letterman famously chided for ditching him on multiple occasions, we doubt he’ll give Amanda a hard time for her excuse:

She went into labor early and delivered daughter Molly June Benioff!

The actress, who announced she was pregnant again in December, had been scheduled to appear on the Late Show to promote her upcoming film, Please Give, but instead late Monday she welcomed her second child.

“Mother and daughter are doing great,” Peet’s rep says.

Pregnant Amanda Peet

Amanda Peet no longer looks like this!

Peet and screenwriter husband David Benioff. also have a 3-year-old daughter, Frances, who is especially excited to meet the family’s newest addition.

“But there’s been a lot of fighting going on in my household over names,” she said. “Frankie is very excited. She just wants to call the baby Turtle.”

Kids. They’re the best.

Amanda Peet: Pregnant Again!


Amanda Peet is pregnant again! The star and her screenwriter husband, David Benioff are expecting their second child, her rep confirmed this afternoon.

In 2007, Peet - who recently appeared in the sci-fi flick 2012 - welcomed daughter Frances “Frankie” Pen, whom she named after her mother, Penny.

Peet has said motherhood is not what she expected.

“One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have,” she said. “I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead.”

Oh For Peet

Amanda also hopes Frances doesn’t grow up too fast.

“I’m trying not to think about what the world will be like by the time she grows up,” she said. “I think more about when she’s going to start drinking and wearing a G-string and how can I stop those things from happening.”

Congratulations to the second-time parents-to-be!
