Selma Blair: 'I eat pancakes all day'

Selma Blair has insisted that one of the great joys of pregnancy is feeling free to eat pancakes all day long.

The Hellboy II: The Golden Army actress confirmed in January that she and boyfriend Jason Bleick are expecting their first child later this year.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Blair jested that she's taking full advantage of her pregnancy cravings.

"I eat pancakes all day long. I don't eat gluten, so I eat gluten-free pancakes," she said. "It's a little better, but not much.

The star added: "I have a lot of pancake cravings [and] a lot of grapefruit [cravings]."

After being questioned as to her baby's sex, Blair chose to remain coy by refusing to divulge any concrete details.

She joked: "I'm not going to say what [the sex] is yet… Hopefully, it's one or the other. Who knows these days!"

Blair will next star with Mia Farrow and Christopher Walken in director Todd Solondz's Dark Horse, which is expected to be released in US cinemas later this year.
