Ali Larter

Ali Larter is officially a new kind of hero... to a baby boy!

The actress gave birth on Monday, gushing to Us Weekly that Theodore Hayes MacArthur is "the perfect Christmas present."

Larter and husband Hayes MacArthur got married in Kennebunkport, Maine in August of last year, following seven years of dating. This is the first child for both.

Ali Larter won't be sending Snooki or Teresa Giudice a Christmas card.

In a recent discussion with E! News, the beautiful actress says she isn't a fan of reality shows that depict her native New Jersey in a negative, stereotypical light.

"I've seen a couple of them and I feel like it's such a terrible depiction of our lovely Garden State," said the former Heroes star, who is due to give birth on Christmas.

"There's definitely some guidos in New Jersey, but where I grew up it's like the cranberry bogs, the forests, and the farm... going apple picking and rolling green hills," she said.

Larter concluded her mini rant by labeling Jersey as "beautiful and amazing." Coming from someone who looks like THIS, she is an expert in these areas.

Earlier this year, Ali Larter received great news: Heroes was canceled by NBC!

Now, just when it seemed like her year couldn't get any better, the actress has even more exciting news to share: she's pregnant!

"Ali is ecstatic," a friend told Star Magazine of the pregnancy. “She and [husband Hayes MacArthur] are absolutely over the moon about it. They have wanted a baby for what seems like forever and now their dream is coming true."

Guess we know how these two celebrated Larter's freedom from the aforementioned terrible drama!

Added this source:

"It's going to be even more special because their baby is due on Christmas Day! They don't know what sex it is yet but Ali is definitely planning on finding out - hopefully at her next doctors visit!"

Larter and MacArthur got married in August 2009. We wish them the very best

She is saddled with a bad reputation because she stars on a terrible TV show, but Ali Larter is downright gorgeous.

This actress is often absent from the discussion of the best looking woman on television, but Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eva Longoria and Julie Bowen better recognize. This Heroes star means business!

Larter recently flaunted a radically changed hairstyle, as she's gone from blonde to bright red. We don't love the new look, but we're all about our readers. What do you think?

Which hair color do you prefer on Ali Larter?

Ali Larter married Hayes MacArthur last month. As a result, she's been doing a lot of banging lately.

And we don't mean in the bedroom!

The Heroes star added major fringe to her blond hair this summer, as she mixed up her straight-haired look with a series of beautiful bangs.

It's no whipped-cream bikini, but the actress looks gorgeous with her new style. Or does she? You tell us!

Which Ali Larter hairstyle do you prefer?

Sorry, Ali Larter.

We know you just got married, but you're gonna have to replace that smile with a game face. You've got fashion competition!

At different points over the last few weeks, Larter and Kim Kardashian have been spotted in the same outfit.

While these beauties clearly don't have the same measurement, as evidenced below, readers still must weigh in on which looks best in this dress. Good luck to both stars!

Who wears this dress better?

No, Mark Wahlberg did not marry Ali Larter yesterday.

But both of these attractive celebrities welcomed in August with a beautiful wedding.

Wahlberg and longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham walked down the aisle late Saturday afternoon at the Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

The small ceremony lasted approximately 45 minutes, as Wahlberg held hands with daughter Ella prior to tying the knot. He and Durham are the parents of three children: Ella, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan, 10 months.

Larter, meanwhile, said she does to Hayes MacArthur in an intimate ceremony at his parents' home in Kennebunkport. It's the first marriage for both.

Actress Amy Smart was among the guests, as guests actually arrived at the event via trolley car.

Congratulations to both these happy couples!

Ali Larter has been named the “Fun Fearless Female of the Year” by Cosmopolitan.

It's unclear exactly what makes the actress fun and fearless... but anyone that watched the Heroes star don a whipped cream bikini in Varsity Blues knows exactly what makes her female!

Here are excerpts from the interview Larter gave to the magazine:

On fiance Hayes MacArthur: “Since I was 15 years old, all I wanted was to find the guy I was going to marry. My heart got broken so many times because I put so much pressure on it. And then…I got blindsided. [Hayes] showed me the way, and all was right. This is how it’s supposed to be.”

On her love for fashion: “I’m a big fan of glamour. It’s something I don’t think there’s enough of in Hollywood anymore. I enjoy putting on a sexy dress and heels. I want to work it.”

Two beautiful actresses.

One awful taste in fashion.

Desperate Housewives beauty Eva Longoria Parker and Heroes star Ali Larter were each spotted out in a similarly-designed Emanuel Ungaro dress recently.

We find the outfit harder to look at than the nonsensical third season of Larter's show, but we'd still like to know what readers think:

Who looks better in this dress?

If women love a man with a sense of humor, Heroes star Ali Larter has done well for herself with Hayes MacArthur.

The engaged couple celebrated their relationship with family and friends at L.A.'s Sunset Tower Hotel on Saturday night.

In a toast to his "wife-to-be," MacArthur thought back how the couple met while wearing loin cloths on the set of the 2007 movie Homo Erectus.

"In that moment I knew how much you meant to me, how much you care about everything you do and everyone in your life," MacArthur said to Larter.

The couple has dated for five years and got engaged in December.

Hayes MacArthur needn't imagine Ali Larter nude. Dude has totally seen it already.
