Gentle Amy becomes the 1,000th celebrity to rub the belly of my pregnant reporter pal. “Ah! I bet you’re getting a lot of this,” Amy says. (Um, yeah.) “I know it’s harder when you can’t take it off, but you get a lot of people giving you seats on the subway. It’s great.”
Who would Amy pick to be her baby mama?
“Dax Shepard because of his instincts,” she says.
