Amanda Peet is pregnant again!
The actress, 36, and her husband of three years, screenwriter David Benioff are expecting their second child, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
See which stars can't wait to be parents.
In 2007, Peet -- who recently appeared in the sci-fi flick 2012 -- welcomed daughter Frances "Frankie" Pen, whom she named after her mother, Penny.
Can you guess whose baby bump this is?
Peet has said motherhood is not what she expected.
"One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have," she told Cookie magazine last summer. "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, and to try not to be perfect myself."
Last month, Peet told Parade she hopes her daughter doesn't grow up too fast.

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

46Amanda - Please do some research before lashing out on others. Obviously you have no clue what you're talking about.
Im sure Amanda will be a great mom! She was awesome in 2012, I just became a fan of the movies facebook page.
Congratulations!
This photo makes me feel sad for Amanda. It appears her daughter is sliding into the category of developmental disability; and with on-going vaccination will likely join the swelling ranks of children with Autism. Then Amanda will vaccinate the new one in the same manner, with the same results; as she is the paid spokesperson for every child [destroyed] by two, what choice does she really have?
When and IF she ever wakes up and realizes the neurologic, gastro-intestinal, hepatic, renal, mitochondrial, and nervous systems damage wrought, the parasites will be the ONLY ones holding out a hand to help her and her children up and out of the abyss...
Organizations like TACA Now, National Autism Association, and Generation Rescue (and their many volunteer families), marginalized by the ECBT crowd, are the ONLY ones actually helping families with Autism...
FreeSpeaker, I agree that compenstion is O.K. for saving lives if that is the case, but what about the lives lost or hindered due to side effects of RotaTeq. RotaTeq is known to twist the intestines causing death. Should he give back some of that 300 million to those who are suffering from the effects of his product? This woman is a paid spokes person for the pharmaceutical company is why she is associated with vaccine Injury. She referred to those with vaccine injured children whom quit vaccinating as parasites. She's pretty. She provides a great platform for the vaccine safety debate. I think after being attacked it is healthy for those that need to vent to vent.
Well, it did not take long for the vicious anti-vaccinationistas to latch onto Amanda Peets joyous news. These people are grossly ignorant, hate-filled drones who do not have a clue as to the reality of that massive good that vaccines do. They have demonized Paul Offitt, whose RotaTeq vaccine is saving lives both here and in the third world. By extension, they now demonized Amanda Peet. $30 Billion? Bull. Yes, he made money, and, he should. Not as much as that idiot said, but he did. So what? He should be well compensated for saving lives. These people both disgust me, and scare me. They are living proof of the failure of the education system in the USA.

All you nuts posting all that nonsense in the posts in the beginning need to chill out - seriously, this is an entertainment website not a freakin town hall meeting - post comments regarding the pic in question then shut the f@ck up! I think Amanda Peet is beautiful and I'm very happy for their next joyous event....cute family.
Her daughter looks kinda bratty! Of course Parenthood is hard, how did she not expect that? Did she think she was going to be immune to the difficulties mothers face?!?!? and if you were drinking and wearing g-strings at a young age, there is a good chance your daughter will be like you!
Why are you guys typing up huge comment that nobody read?Just venting or something?
Anon: "It is unethical to do so in humans." But it is ethical to inject humans with aborted fetal cells and monkey kidney cells? We can't receive stem cells to improve health because that is "unethical" but fetal cells are used in vaccines. We can't receive animal kidneys to improve our chances at living a normal life but we can have them injected into us? The sick are worth more money, right? "The doses are not big enough and before things like this are given to people they are tested to make sure they are not a carcinogen." I do hope you reference my extremely (sorry) long post on this. Vaccines are NOT tested for the carcinogenic properties even though they have SEVERAL known carcinogens as ingredients - mercury and formaldehyde to name a couple. Also, there is no safe amount of mercury which has been PROVEN for human injection, only for human consumption. And there is a difference in how much of it gets into the blood stream via both methods. Regardless of the spin you put on it, mercury is the 2nd most poisonous metal known to man. If a child's body cannot break it down and it continues to accumulate in the brain, mercury causes neurological degradation. I agree with you, it needs to be examined from BOTH sides. But people like Peet cannot go around claiming to be "fully informed" if they have only looked at one side of the argument from a very biased perspective. I advocate fully informed consent. I agree that vaccines have done good in certain situations. But for example, let's examine the pneumococcal vaccine. It has caused a significant reduction in the 7 strains of the virus included in the vaccine, but there has been an increase in several of the 80 or so other known strains of the virus. In fact, there is a study which found that 96% of severe cases of Pc at the Children's Medical Center at Dallas were caused by strains not found in the vaccine. These strains are resistant to the vaccine. Therefore, the vaccine really isn't effective - anymore.
Also, I believe it is of major importance to note that Peet got her information from Paul Offit who has made over $30billion from developing the Rotavirus vaccine. I am very hesitant to believe that his opinion was unbiased in any way. It should also be noted that Paul Offit sits on the board which decides when and how many vaccines children get. That doesn't sound very unbiased either, does it?
Jennifer, the National Network for Immunization Info seems to say that vaccines actually do make a difference. Compare 20,000 children per year infected with HIB before 1985 to the 34 cases of HIB in 2002;Compare 12.5 million cases of rubella to the 9 cases in 2002 and the list goes on. Even with the H1N1 the chances of a healthy person dying is 1 in 10,000 whereas getting Guille-Barre's Syndrome from the vaccine is 1 in a million. Bensmyson: You have to incubate and grow the virus somehow and it is unethical to do so in humans. That is why you find alot of those ingredients in vaccines. As for the mercury and other chemicals, there has been nothing to show that those ingredients have been harmful to humans in vaccines. The doses are not big enough and before things like this are given to people they are tested to make sure they are not a carcinogen. These are things that deal with deadly pathogens, they are going to have some crazy chemicals included. I am not not against vaccinations because the data/medical experts/scientists seem to have the idea that vaccines are beneficial. I think it is a mistake not to vaccinate your kids, but they are your children and it's your decision. I just hope everyone is looking at both sides of the vaccination controversy in an unbiased manner. To say that vaccinations aren't effective is pure speculation, especially since there is plenty of data available that contradicts this. Don't go spreading a bunch of nonsense that hasn't been adequately researched just because your son/nephew/niece/daughter seemed to get Autism after their 2 yr. vaccination. These are people's lives you are dealing with after all and what you write on the net does make a difference.
Anon, you should take your own advice "Beware of anyone or anything that advocates something that hasn't undergone trials in opposition to something that 'has.'" I will include some excerpts from the manufacturer's drug information inserts for you to read. Keep in mind, these are the tests which "prove" the vaccine is "safe and effective" especially for "at risk" groups prior to release for the public. The live virus vaccines can actually cause transmission of the virus (viral shedding) for up to 3 weeks. Per the manufacturer's drug information insert for FluMist: "17.2 Vaccination with a Live Virus Vaccine Vaccine recipients or their parents/guardians should be informed by the health care provider that FluMist is an attenuated live virus vaccine and has the potential for transmission to immunocompromised household contacts." Without mention of information or studies that instruct how long the person should avoid those that have been vaccinated. This is the same with any live virus vaccine such as MMR and Varicella. Also note worthy is the fact that NO vaccines have been "evaluated for its carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or its potential of impairment to fertility." "8.4. Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Fluzone vaccine in children below the age of 6 months have not been established. The immune response and safety of Fluzone vaccine was evaluated in 31 children between the ages of 6-26 months." Last I checked, the reason they couldn't do comparison studies of vaxed vs unvaxed children was because the test samples would be too "small." Well... I bet if they even attempted to try, they could find a lot more than 31 children. If it only took 31 to prove this vaccine was "effective" then why do we need more to "prove" that vaxed children don't have higher occurrence of autism and other neurological disorders? Also, I am hesitant to believe 31 children can adequately represent the genetic makeup of the billions of people who will get this vaccine. 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine or FLUVIRIN. It is also not known whether Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine or FLUVIRIN can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. 8.3. Nursing Mothers It is not known whether Fluzone vaccine is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Fluzone vaccine is administered to a nursing woman. Yet both pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers of newborns are told to get this vaccine “to ensure the safest environment for the infant.” It is not brought to the mother’s attention that it isn’t known whether the vaccine is dangerous to the breastfeeding infant. BTW other drugs HAVE been tested on pregnant/breastfeeding women… are you supposed to take Motrin while pregnant? NO. What about Tylenol? Zantac? These may not have been clinical trials to say “ma’am take this drug to see if it kills your baby.” But enough pregnancies were complicated from these drugs that the warnings were changed. Where are those warnings for vaccines? Why are women still being told to take it after many have lost their babies within a week after vaccination? The major problem is that vaccine ingredients are not regulated. You can have one vaccine for, let’s say, the flu, from one manufacturer and be completely fine. The next year, you could get a flu vaccine from a different manufacturer and have a severe adverse reaction. Also, of course it is easy for you to sit back and say that "of course it is the minority that do get problems that attracts the most attention." But I can bet that you wouldn't be so passive if it were YOUR child that was injured by a vaccine. Be fair and put yourself in the shoes of a parent who lost their child within hours of receiving a vaccine. I'm not going into the autism debate; I'm talking strictly about KNOWN adverse reactions that have been recognized by VAERS - the government reporting agency. Sure you can argue that nothing is perfect. However, if it is not perfect, parents should have TRUE informed consent, instead of being given a bunch of medical jargon to sift through and sign releasing the doctors of any liability. Remember, you do not have to have breast cancer in order to be an advocate for a cure. You don't have to personally have your life altered by a vaccine injury in order to advocate for safer ingredients.
congrats to them! frankie is definitely one of hollywood's most beautiful babies! she's precious! and amanda always cracks me up, "g-strings and alcohol" haha cute!
anon, I think good nutrition, decent sanitation, clean water etc. have had alot to do with diseases declining. Vaccines are surprisingly poorly safety tested. Hewitson's recent primate research with primates demonstrates this. They found significant delays in neonatal responses for all infant reflexes measured after being given hep b with thimerosal (compared to primates who had not been given the vaccines, and surprise surprise they showed no delays). Wouldn't you think that they would have done this kind of study BEFORE giving hep b to babies? (at birth, yet!)Well, I would have ASSUMED that this kind of study had already been done. BUT NO!! What a joke. Jab away if you like but it's risky. My grandmother was one of the ones who developed guillaume barre in the /70's after a flu shot. And look at Gardasil. Not exactly a great track record with respect to adverse events. In fact, I have heard there have been more serious adverse events reported than actual cases of cervical cancer. What a freaking waste of public health money.
Do vaccines cause autism? Peet says no. Do vaccines cause death? The CDC & FDA agency VAERS says they do hundreds of times. It's highly unlikely you win the lottery, in fact you are more likely to die from a vaccine than you are from winning the lottery. The same reason I don't waste my money buying lottery tickets is the same reason I refuse to have my child jabbed with 7 or 8 vaccines at once. It just makes sense to be careful. Don't believe me, Google vaccine injuries. 925 victims of vaccine injuries have been compensated by the government's vaccine court paying out $847 million. Don't you owe it to your children to think before you stab them with a needle? Don't take some celebrity's word for it, investigate for yourself. Weight the risks, do what's right for your family, your children. There is no law that says you have to have so many vaccines at once. Look up the ingredients, when you do you'll find stuff like washed sheep red blood cells, fluid from calf skins, chick embryonic fluid, human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue (MMR), monkey kidney cells, bovne fetal serum, albnumin from human blood and of course mercury (yes they still have it in some of them).
Another thing, for as many sites you can find that say that vaccines are bad, I am sure that I can find that many and maybe more that say they are the complete opposite. All I can say is "Beware of anyone or anything that advocates something that hasn't undergone trials in opposition to something that has".
