Molly Ringwald (not) naked and pregnant on magazine cover!

Molly_ringwald Molly Ringwald looks positively glowing -- and slightly impatient -- on the June cover of Fit Pregnancy magazine, a publication we don't normally peruse at Stuck in the '80s.

And no, she's not naked. That's because she has more 10 times the class than Britney Spears, Demi Moore, Christina Aguilera and other pop culture tarts who've done that stunt in the last few years.

Molly is actually expecting twins, but tells the magazine that she's not one of those crazy people who loves being pregnant.

"I don’t hate it though," she says during a Q&A. "I am used to feeling very strong and active, to be able to pick up anything and you can’t do that when you are pregnant. I find that frustrating. On the other hand, people are so kind to you and that’s really nice."

Ringwald plays the mother of a pregnant teenager on ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and she says her Brat Pack years as our favorite angst-ridden teen help connect her with the show's audience.

"All of that feels very far away to me," Molly says. "I do think it connects me to them. All the teenagers on the show have seen my movies, so it creates a bond."

For me it was Blair. I really didn't get Molly until later on when the movies started coming out and then I saw what I was missing

I wish Molly the best of luck with the twins. I think too many stars show off thier baby tummy and the rest of the body as well. Not that it is not nice to look at, but to be honest, would you want your wife to pose naked for any magazine? I had always thought Molly was cute all the way back when she was on the New Mickey Mouse Club and Facts of Life. Who would you rather? Molly or Blair?
