CoverGirl spokeswoman and soon-to-be new mom Keri Russell‘s web reality show The Keri Kronicles debuted exclusively on the CoverGirl MySpace page today. The monthly series gives an in-depth look at Keri’s life as she prepares for and tackles motherhood.

The first episode was filmed this month and finds the Waitress star shopping around the West Village for baby supplies.

There are so many things that I don’t have. I don’t know if I’m having a boy or girl, first of all, so it makes shopping for baby stuff a little hard.

Keri, 31, will also personally answer any questions left on the MySpace page and urges viewers to check back next month as she would have a lot more to talk about.

Next month, I’ll have a baby, so come back and there’ll be all sorts of new news about that!

Waitress star Keri Russell is in the home stretch of her pregnancy andis pleased she’s had a pretty uncomplicated nine months, pregnancybrain notwithstanding.

I’m very close to theend. I’m having a great and really easy pregnancy, comparedto my girlfriends. This is my first one.

Herexcitement for impending motherhood and her new film, in which she plays a pregnant waitress, is tempered by thedeath of its director, writer and star, Adrienne Shelly, who wasmurdered in her New York City office in November, leaving behind herhusband Andy Ostroy and 3-year-old daughter, Sophie. Sophie has a smallrole in the film, a cameo Keri and co-star Cheryl Hines were deeplyaffected by when they attended a screening.

Wesaid, ‘You know, we don’t have to get sad about this. Let’s try toenjoy this. It’s a happy movie.’ But as soon as that kid comes on atthe end, it’s just like, ‘Jeez.’ It’sright there…[Andy] is a great dad and a great husband. I’ve seen them and they’re doing the best that they can.

Keri Russell talks cravings, end of pregnancy, and being surprised

Sarah — Sat, 05 May 2007 18:26:08 +0000

As part of her media tour for Waitress, actress Keri Russell, 31, spoke to People magazine this week. Here are the highlights.

On being in the third trimester: I’m at the end now, so if any time is hard, it’s this part. Just being out of breath going upstairs; you eat a grape and you’re bloated!

On cravings: My one craving, which is boring, is yogurt. If I don’t have it once a day, forget it!

On choosing not to find out the sex of their baby: We’re being surprised [at the delivery]. I would be pleased with either. I think my husband secretly wants a girl…

On the reality of becoming a parent: I have these moments of ‘Oh God, I’m going to have this person around that I’m so responsible for!’ That’s what so refreshing about Waitress: it allows for those kinds of thoughts. As a culture we want pregnant women to have this idyllic experience, and that’s just not real.
