Angela Kinsey, star of “The Office,” has announced that she is pregnant.

Kinsey confirmed on her Myspace page, saying, “I am so excited! They say when you stop trying that’s when it happens and that’s how it went for us… [My mom] has already sent me baby booties and is quilting like a mad woman. I probably won’t do a lot of press during my pregnancy. The minute I found out I was pregnant I went into this ‘Momma Bear’ mode of wanting to protect this little guy or gal that is growing inside me. I want it to have as normal a childhood as possible.”

Kinsey’s character, the mean, anal-retentive Angela, may become a little softer because of Kinsey’s pregnancy. While Kinsey noted she wasn’t sure whether it would be written into the show, Kristin Dos Santos announced on E! News that it would indeed be included in the storyline.

The biggest questions: is the father Dwight or Andy? And how far into her pregnancy will Kinsey be by the time production resumes after the WGA strike?

Thousands of Dunder-heads traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania this weekend for the first annual ‘Office’ Convention, where the hit NBC comedy is set.

Most of the cast, execs and writers for the show made it out to the “Electric City.”

Cast member Ed Helms (”The Daily Show”) was overwhelmed by their warm reception, saying, “It sorta feels like we’re The Beatles here in Scranton.”

The experience was also surreal for executive producer Greg Daniels, who said it was “as if we had been reading the Oz books and then actually visited the Emerald City. I’m really glad I (chose Scranton). I don’t think we would’ve gotten this reception in Utica.”

The biggest event was the two-hour Q&A session on Saturday. Cast member Craig Robinson knew exactly how to please the crowd, answering a question by kissing on-screen girlfriend Mindy Kaling.

Helms, Kaling and Robinson also joined their fellow multi-talented cast mates Melora Hardin, Creed Bratton and Kate Flannery on stage, singing with The Scrantones, who perform the shows theme song.

The show makes frequent references to local pubs, restaurants and lakes in the Scranton area, which have now become famous.
