We almost didn’t recognize petite “Julie & Julia” star Amy Adams because she is VERY pregnant. Amy’s pictured in New York boldly wearing stripes that in no way diminish her girth, so she’s obviously not trying to minimize her condition. She and her fiancee Darren Le Gallo (they’ve been together for eight years) are very excited about their first child.

Now that she’s pregnant, MAYBE Amy Adams will find time to marry her boyfriend of seven years, actor/artist Darren Le Gallo. They’ve been engaged for over a year and planned to marry in 2009, but Amy’s been so busy working on movies that she kept postponing the big event. Actually, Darren is the one who’s been pushing to tie the knot sooner rather than later. We’re guessing that “Julie & Julia” star Amy, 35, will prioritize the wedding now that she’s expecting.
Julia Child’s infatuation with mid-century Paris and the city’s cuisine makes for a delicious true story about her life there in the delightful “Julie & Julia.” Meryl Streep is thoroughly convincing as the towering and enthusiastic Julia and Stanley Tucci is endearing as her supportive husband. Their eventful life in France is serious competition for Amy Adams’ contrasting life in modern New York, but Amy is up for the challenge. All in all, the movie is a triumph for Nora Ephron – we thought mostly women would love this movie, but men seem to like it just as much. We walked out of the movie craving beef bourguignon. And Julia would be proud to hear that her cookbooks have hit the best seller list again.
