Quirky Jenna Elfman, 38, said she still feels sexy as a pregnant woman. Elfman, a star of Keeping The Faith, said: "I found I’m showing the things that are still intact. That helps with my beauty morale. The legs and the arms – those are hanging in there, I’ll show those. That makes me feel like I’m still sexy despite my whole centre of gravity being completely altered."

Elfman is married to Bodhi [Elfman], and the pair showed off Elfman's sizeable baby bump this week at the film premiere of Old Dogs starring John Travolta.

Elfman's new show Accidentally On Purpose has been picked up for the season on CBS. She advised pregnant women to "show what you feel hot about. For me it's legs – they’re hanging in there, barely!"
The couple has a son, Story Elias, 2. Said Elfman: "He gets it. He gives the belly kisses, he lays his head down and says, 'Night night, baby' and puts the blankie over my belly. So he’s got it. He’s amazing."

New Jenna Elfman Sitcom Vaguely Amusing

To film critic Billie, there are three stages of womanhood: "Meg Ryan in 'Sleepless in Seattle,' Meg Ryan in 'You've Got Mail' and Meg Ryan in the grocery store saying, 'No, really, I'm Meg Ryan.'"

Billie lives in a San Francisco, where she's a full-time film critic who has gotten stuck somewhere between "You've Got Mail" and the grocery store. She's heading toward 40 and recently dumped her rich boss when he refused to propose, so now Billie is sowing her oats -- leading to a two-night stand with Zack, who is "considerably younger" than herself -- that leaves her pregnant.

What's a 37-year-old film critic to do? The answer makes up the contrived, fantasy plot behind "Accidentally on Purpose," a fast-moving, occasionally amusing series that premieres Monday at 8:30 p.m. EDT/PDT on CBS, the greatest asset of which is that it gives sunshiny Jenna Elfman a new platform for her Lucille Ball-inspired graceful mugging.

"Accidentally" doesn't wait around to get moving; by the end of the first 22 minutes, Billie is pregnant and Zack has moved in. But they're not in a relationship, she insists -- they have to save something for Episode 2. By then, audience heads should be spinning (and mouths watering): Zack is the nicest, if most lightweight, guy on the planet, cooks a mean ravioli and "smells like a Skittle," Billie says. "I tasted the rainbow."

But Elfman perseveres. All wide-eyes, splayed fingers and sudden movement, she still is the perkiest, most likable thing in the room. But she needs a cast equal to her talents, and instead she's saddled with a leading man in the wooden Jon Foster, who always seems to be looking over her shoulder. That is a fatal flaw.

In the end, what surfaces is more the "Purpose" than the "Accidentally": This is an utterly predictable comedy (what, you don't think Zack and Billie will fall in love in Season 2, right after he starts dating another chick and Billie has an epiphany?) that's got a few fun lines.
