Zoe zeroes-in on motherhood

Messages of congratulations are heading Zoe Saldana’s way. The “Avatar” star — who next will be seen on the big screen in “Guardians of the Galaxy” (opening Aug. 1), is pregnant with her first child. The actress’ publicist has confirmed Saldana is expecting the baby with her husband Marco Perego.

As Saldana mad red carpet and other promotional appearances for “Guardians” over the past few weeks, whispers about what appeared to be a baby bump began circulating.

But, that was not confirmed until Wednesday.
