Amy is celebrating today her 36th birthday, and I want to wish her a wonderful and happy day!


Thanks to my very good friend Becca of Blake Lively Fan, we have a new scan of Amy in Entertainment Weekly. The article is talking about how she is confirmed for the Janis Joplin biopic, and it is a very good read. Make sure you check it out in the gallery by clicking on the picture to the left. Enjoy!

We have a gorgeous new layout designed by the fantastic Mycah. I honestly love it, and I hope you do as well! If you run into any problems, please let us know. Leave a comment to let us know what you think! :)

Also, I noticed while I was putting up the new layout, that almost all of our pages are outdated, so I will be going through them and updating them. While I am at it, is there any new content that you would like to see here? Leave a comment if you can think of something!

Finally, we also have some Amy news for all of you! Looks like Amy might be playing Janis Joplin in the new film, Janis Joplin : Get It While You Can. This role will be pretty interesting for Amy, and what do you guys think? Do you think she will make a good Janis?

During an interview, Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey got to talking about some other projects his production company, Temple Hill Entertainment, is working on. One of them is a Janis Joplin biopic to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City of God) starring … Amy Adams. Amy Adams, the lovely, talented, Oscar-nominated actress from Junebug , Enchanted, and Doubt whom it is, nonetheless, absolutely impossible to imagine taking a slug of alcohol, let alone choking on her own vomit? Yes! That Amy Adams! IMDb has the movie listed under the title Janis Joplin: Get It While You Can (though it says both Adams and long-rumored-Janis Zooey Deschanel are playing the lead role). While we can definitely imagine actresses less suited to the part by the fact of their total lack of talent, it is hard for us to imagine an actress less suited to the part by the fact of her total non-Joplin-esque vibe. Of course, if Adams-as-Joplin does fall through, we’re sure Jenna would jump at the chance to put her Jackie Jormp-Jomp impression to good use.

People is reporting that Amy gave birth to her first child on Saturday, and that it is a girl. They named her Aviana Olea Legallo. Congratulations Amy and Darren!

Baby makes three!

Amy Adams and fiancé Darren Legallo welcomed 7-lbs. daughter Aviana Olea Legallo on Saturday in Los Angeles, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“Mom and baby are home and doing great,” says Adams’s rep. “Everyone’s healthy and happy.”

Shortly after announcing her pregnancy in December, the actress said she and Legallo planned to find out the sex of their baby on the way.

“We’ll probably find out,” Adams, 35, admitted. “I thought about waiting and I just don’t think that’s really my personality.”

With nine months to prepare for baby, the Julie and Julia star also made sure to take care of her own needs.

“It’s been good for me,” she told USA Today. “I’ve benefited a lot from taking some downtime and working on friendships and really reconnecting with my fiancé.”

Amy is on Empire magazine’s Sexiest Movie Stars list at #25. Before Eliza Dushku and after Sienna Miller. View her entry here.

So button-cute that, when Disney needed an actress who could play a cartoon princess come to life, she was the only serious option, Adams is arguably the world’s hottest ginger, ahead of Her From Girls Aloud and, erm, Ginny Weasley.

Most alluring as… Adams doesn’t generally do alluring, but she does cute-as-all-get-out, wholesome, girl-next-door and aw-shucks-ain’t-she-sweet in all manner of films. That said, her ditsy bed-hopping chanteuse in Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day is pretty irresistible.

Interests include… Apparently, she’s been so focused on her career that she hasn’t really had time to develop any hobbies. Goddammit, get this girl some hobbies, people! Even stamp collecting will do!
