It was a rough start to a very welcome surprise for the couple, he adds. “We talked about wanting to have kids and Kirsten was told she could try hormone therapy. It was pretty bleak as far as the probability of her being able to get pregnant … but then we got back from a trip to Amsterdam and discovered we were expecting.

Official Poster for Season 3 of ABC’s “Scandal”
Shonda Rimes delivers with the new poster for season 3 of Scandal!
After receiving 10,000 retweets, the Head Honchos over at Scandal revealed the poster, which features Kerry Washington as ‘Olivia Pope.’
The poster has received mixed reviews, as some fans of the show expected to see President Fitz Grant (Tony Goldwyn) on the poster as well.
The caption on the poster, which says “The Secret is Out,” is very telling and it may very well be the reason why Goldwyn was left off. It could be a foreshadowing of Ms. Pope being solo this season so she can focus on ‘fixing’ herself for a change.
Season 3 of Scandal premieres on Thursday, October 3 on ABC.

Jenny McCarthy in Talks to Join ‘The View’
Jenny McCarthy is reportedly in talks to join the cast of The View next season.
Since announcing her departure from the show, Joy Behar has been absent from the panel quite often, and the ABC talk show has had a series of guest co-hosts with one of them being McCarthy.
The former MTV host has been one of the few guest co-hosts to appear more than once in a given week and it seems as though the staff over at ABC adores her.
“The cast and crew get a kick out of Jenny,” a set source revealed to US Weekly. “She’s a good fit. She may not be able to carry a show, but she works well with a group ensemble.”
McCarthy is no stranger to hosting, as she has her own talk show on VH1 with comedian Michelle Buteau as her unofficial co-host. Both The View and The Jenny McCarthy show tape in NY, so it is quite possible for the blonde-bombshell to do both.
