Pregnant with possibilities – but(t) she wasn’t having any of it
Christa Miller Lawrence, who’s got roles on both ABC’s “The Drew Carey Show” (as Kate) and NBC’s “Scrubs” (as Jordan), is featured in the February/ March issue of Fit Pregnancy, which hits newsstands today.
Miller Lawrence is married to “Scrubs” writer/creator Bill Lawrence – who wanted to shoot her pregnant derriere for a scene on the NBC sitcom.
“Bill had written one scene where the camera would shoot my butt,” Miller Lawrence tells the magazine. “I called him and said, ‘You are not shooting my pregnant butt on television.’ He said, ‘Oh yes, I am.’
“He told me that any actress would do that scene, so Heather Locklear, who was guest-starring in the episode, got on the phone and said, ‘I wouldn’t do it. You wouldn’t shoot my pregnant butt.’ “
“JAG” star Catherine Bell will grace the April/May cover of Fit Pregnancy, which will be available in March.
