Pregnant comedienne Maya Rudolph is hunting for the friend or family member who leaked her baby news to the press.

The actress and her Oscar-nominated director husband Paul Thomas Anderson are expecting a little brother or sister for their three-year-old daughter Pearl. However, Rudolph can't understand how the news broke on Monday - 24 hours before she planned to reveal her baby news on The View.

Speaking on the show on Tuesday a bemused Rudolph told hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters, "Somebody spilled the beans. I am pregnant. I have another on the way. I'm so excited."

Ironically, reports suggest it was Rudolph herself who revealed the happy news to Canadian news show Entertainment Tonight over the weekend.

Taped to air on Monday, Rudolph said, "I wasn't planning on sharing it, but yes I am pregnant!"
