Jason Bateman has something to look forward to, but it’s not his sitcom

After the death of the critically acclaimed sitcom "Arrested Development," star Jason Bateman is contemplating the birth of his first child.

Last week, the actor announced on Los Angeles radio station Star 98.7 that he and his wife Amanda Anka are expecting a baby girl in three months. They are currently looking over possible baby names and making the ultimate decision to go traditional or Hollywood unique-chic.

The couple costarred in the film "Sol Goode" and married in 2001. They currently live in LA. She is the daughter of singer-songwriter Paul Anka and appeared in the remake of "Taxi" and in episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Diagnosis Murder."

Bateman, 37, received a Golden Globe in 2005 for his work on the defunct sitcom "Arrested Development" and currently has a small part in the big-screen comedy "The Break Up."
