(After the jump… an update! We can all relax, it was for a good cause!)

Here is Tony-Award Winning Actress and former Dancing with the Stars contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur, at a photo shoot for, well, what appears to be some sort of fakey baby shower celebrating her… From the Getty Images caption:

That’s all well and good, but… where are her friends? And family? Oh wait! Here they are!:

They seem absolutely thrilled to be there! Now, I might not be wholly initiated into this whole baby shower thing, as my friends and I realize that we’d be the kind of mothers who let their kids sleep in a locked file cabinet drawer at the DMV. But have any of you guys ever had posed photo shoots with the paparazzi at your baby showers?? It just seems hyperactively tacky.
UPDATE!!! After the jump…
Matt Sullivan, Articles Editor at InTouch Magazine, has good news:
Hey there:
I was there—I DO mean to brag. Those women in the picture are actually mostly editors and writers from women’s and/or celebrity magazines. It was wasn’t her actual baby shower with her actual friends (among them: Ricki Lake, Marlee Matlin). It was actually a press conference to promote women over thirty getting tested so they don’t get cervical cancer like Marissa did, which forced her to have a hysterectomy, which is why she’s having a baby via a surrogate…She was
actually really sweet and they had a fine array of quiche and cookies on the scene. I was the only (lonely!) dude…More info here:
