Keri Russell, who starred in TV’s "Felicity," is expecting her first child this summer, her spokeswoman said Friday.

Russell and contractor Shane Deary, both 30, became engaged last year, said Jill Fritzo, the actress’ publicist. No wedding date has been set.

She portrayed spirited college student Felicity Porter in "Felicity" for four years. The series ended in 2002.

Russell has since starred in the films "Mission: Impossible III" and "The Upside of Anger," and the TV miniseries "Into the West."

Her new movie, the independent romantic comedy "Waitress," will screen at the Sundance Film Festival next week.

The cast of Mission Impossible III (left to right), Maggie Q, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Monaghan, director JJ Abrams, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Phillip Seymor Hoffman, posed in Rome, Italy for a group photo in front of the ancient Coliseum during the world premiere of MI-3 this morning at the Palazzo Colonna. They all attended a photo call and press conference later on in the day. Tom Cruise missed this group photo, but was at the press conference. I don’t recognize the person on the end. Perhaps someone could leave a comment if they know this person’s name.

Movie star Tom Cruise was in Rome, Italy to promote his latest blockbuster on Monday, but his main mission was to rush back home to his bride-to-be Katie Holmes and baby daughter and resume diaper duties. The 43-year-old told a news conference in Rome ahead of the world premiere of “Mission: Impossible III” that he would cut short the European promotional tour, which was also to have taken in Paris where he and Holmes were engaged 10 months ago. “It was everything that we wanted it to be and more,” Cruise said of the birth last week of Suri. “It was really very spiritual.” The Hollywood A-lister suggested that he wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. “I changed her first,” he said. “I change diapers all the time. I have to tell you I love it. We have a whole system worked out. It’s the ‘B and B’ - she does the breast feeding and I do the burping and changing the diapers. It’s teamwork. It’s fun.”

I’ve heard a lot of chatter on the web about this latest issue of Vanity Fair being really boring, but if this spectacular picture of Keri Russell (from Felicity) nude is any indication, I think it should be a very interesting issue indeed.

Sure, you can’t see any of the “naughty bits,” but it is Vanity Fair, after all. Though, that didn’t stop us from seeing Sienna Miller topless in the last issue.
