Hollywood's recent films about unwed mothers
Look up at the screen. Pregnant bellies are everywhere. It began, more or less, with last year's "Waitress," continued on to "Knocked Up" and "Bella" and, of course, the sleeper hit "Juno," which last week grabbed four Oscar nominations. Earlier this month, Ricki Lake's documentary on home births, "The Business of Being Born," hit theaters. Even Chachi is in on the act, with his latest reality TV yawner, "Scott Baio Is 46 ... and Pregnant."
