Former "Hairspray" stage star Marissa Jaret Winokur is in negotiations to launch her own daytime talk show. The actress/singer and mom-to-be, who won a Tony Award for her role as Tracy Turnblad on Broadway, is looking to launch her new show in 2009.

Last month, the 35-year-old star, who is currently a contestant on talent show Dancing With The Stars, revealed she and her husband, writer Judah Miller, are to become parents by a surrogate in July.

Winokur underwent a hysterectomy in 2000 to help her beat cervical cancer, and the procedure robbed her of the chance to carry a child herself - but she was able to freeze some of her eggs."
