"Orange is the New Black" star Laura Prepon revealed she's having all sorts of old-school cravings for her childhood favorites such as pastrami sandwiches on rye and cherry soda. “I haven’t eaten that stuff in years,” she said on Live with Kelly and Ryan. “Since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been craving kind of like this Jewish deli food, with like the pickles and the sauerkraut and mustard." The 37-year-old is expecting her first child, a girl, with fiancé Ben Foster.

The human right lawyer is currently several months preggers with twins, and she recently divulged to RadarOnline that she and husband George Clooney are expecting one boy and one girl! Amal is reportedly due sometime this summer, and in the meantime a source told Closer Weekly that the mama-to-be has been frequenting La Pelouse restaurant in Paris, where she was spotted with the former ER star over the weekend. “He’s more nervous than she is,” the source explained. “He’s insisting she rest more, and he’s spoiling her with all of her favorite treats. Amal’s been craving pasta and risotto with white truffles lately.” Awwww! And because the first-time dad is super supportive, he’s been indulging right along with her. “He feels like he’s going to gain all the weight,” the source added, “but he’s fine with it.”

The Sports Illustrated supermodel—who is expecting her first child with husband Derek Jeter—is a vegetarian, but her pregnancy has her itching to break that rule. "I don't eat meat, but now I crave beef jerky all the time, which is kind of interesting," she told Extra. And Davis also gets hankerings for yummy junk food. We feel that, Mama! "I like a lot of gummies, like candy and stuff like that...anything salty, sweet," the model said. Apparently, her baby-on-the-way has driven away her picky-eating tendencies: “Now it’s like…give me everything!”

Yes, even professional dancers get cravings during pregnancy. Peta Murgatroyd of “Dancing with the Stars,” who recently announced she is expecting her first child with her fiancé and fellow DWTS star Maksim Chmerkovskiy, admitted to People, “My diet right now is crazy. I crave fresh fruit and pickles and I’ll have everything at the same time." 

Another recent craving? Let’s just say dessert for breakfast is not out of the question for Murgatroyd. “I really crave cold ice cream for anytime of the day,” the shimmying superstar told E! News.

Still, the gorgeous mama-to-be is doing her best to satiate her cravings with healthy snacks. “I’ll have organic salsa and chips and then pineapple, and I’ll finish it with two pickles.” Murgatroyd adds, “I’m glad I ate really healthily before I got pregnant because I don’t crave McDonald’s and doughnuts and stuff like that.” 

Yup, we’ll agree ice cream is perfectly healthy when you’re growing a tiny human!

During her first pregnancy, it was all butter and pastries and sugar when it came to cravings for the "Veep" star. "It's funny because [2½-year-old daughter Penelope] will lick the icing off of something," she recently explained on "Last Call With Carson Daly." "So I'm like, 'Does that correlate with the cravings?'" If so, the Emmy-nominated actress—who is currently six months preggers with her second child with husband Shaun So—probably doesn't have to worry about history repeating itself. "With this pregnancy, I want Japanese food all the time," she said. "I want sushi!" Something tells us she better start stocking up on those colorful, plastic kiddie chopsticks now!

Hubby Adam Levine recently spilled the beans about the Victoria Secret Angel's pregnancy cravings to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "She's eating a lot of watermelon," he told Jimmy. "A LOT of watermelon. You get random cravings for stuff, and it's just like SO much watermelon." Not a bad hankering to have, considering the sweet snack has been shown to do everything from help keep pregnant mamas hydrated and soothe morning sickness to boost the body's immune system and raise the skin's SPF. Can't do much better than that—though the Maroon 5 frontman added that the model mama is starting to get into ice cream, too. But because the first-time father-to-be is the ultimate team player, he doesn't let his wife indulge alone. "I eat a lot of stuff," he admitted. "A lot of stuff."

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star recently revealed that she's expecting her first-born with husband Michael Koman sometime this summer. And so far, her pregnancy cravings have been pretty, well, chill. "I've been eating a LOT of ice cream," she told Conan O'Brian. "It's gotten to the point where... I feel like an alcoholic, but it's for Ben & Jerry's. Like, I go there every night. And the guy looks at me... and he's so kind. But he knows."

Too funny! "I, like, peruse the avocados, and I'm like, 'Oh maybe I'll get an apple," the actress continued. "And then, like, of course I'm going to the freezer. I said on Tuesday, 'I can't get ice cream again until Friday, you have to hold me to it.' And then I came in on Thursday night, and he looked at me and he just slowly shook his head." Eat it if you got it, Ellie!

The country music powerhouse, whose first baby is due this spring, is apparently craving food from her past: The typically vegan eater said on The Rachael Ray Show, "I ate Pop-Tarts. I haven't done that since college," adding that she's "giving myself license to have things I might not normally have. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll be like, 'Man, I'm hungry' and then I'll get up and have a midnight snack, which I've never done before."

After finally getting through another severe case of hyperemesis gravidarum, the duchess,due in April 2015 is now reportedly ravenous for anything sweet. A palace insider told Woman's Day that the royal kitchen can barely keep up with her demand for cupcakes, biscuits, and raspberry ripple ice cream. "She's like a kid in a candy store; it's hilarious!" the insider said. And here's a fun family fact: "When Carole [Middleton's mother] was pregnant with Kate and her sister, Pippa, she indulged in every sweet she could get her hands on," says a Middleton family friend.

Before welcoming her daughter late last year, the Gossip Girl star reportedly had some stereotypical pregnancy food cravings: pickles and ice cream! But not just any pickles and ice cream, mind you. A source told Heat magazine that Lively was sending hubby Ryan Reynolds "out in the middle of the night for organic hand-churned pumpkin-flavored ice cream and small-batch pickles." We would expect nothing less from the Preserve founder.

While pregnant with twin boys Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio, born November 27, 2014, Saldana confessed to a bizarre food craving on E!'s Untold With Maria Menounos: eating baked goods and preserved meats together. And on "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", she admitted that she used pregnancy as an excuse to indulge in whatever she wanted. "You trick yourself, working in Hollywood. You trick yourself, going, 'That burger's disgusting. That burger's awful,'" Saldana said. "But now that [I'm] pregnant, [I'm] like, 'I can eat all this together, at the same time. Like, I can have the pickle with the donut, and it would probably be life-changing.'"

During her second pregnancy, with son Genesis Ali Dean, born December 27, 2014, Keys told one interviewer, "I've had this strange craving for roasted fruit, like roasted cherries and grilled bananas, and that's sounds crazy, but it's real easy. You put it on what you might make a panini on and you grill the banana and it's amazing." Another odd thing the R&B singer craved? A root beer float! "That came out of nowhere. I haven't had a root beer float in forever, so that was weird."

While pregnant with son Reign Aston, born December 14, 2014, reality star Kourtney Kardashian had a constant craving for New York bagels. "I had them literally for dinner every night," Kourtney told E! Online while promoting Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons last fall. "A bagel with cream cheese and jelly." Her favorite was blueberry, but she enjoyed plain bagels, too. "I would get nauseous a lot...so just eating a plain bagel was like my savior," she said.

The mom of three with boyfriend Scott Disick revealed some additional cravings to Natural Health magazine, too: "I develop a thing for Nilla Wafer cookies every time [I'm pregnant]. I have no idea why!" she said. "I've also been into cheese and pickle sandwiches. Everyone thinks I'm gross when I order them."

If only all mamas-to-be were as lucky as Snooki, who developed a super-healthy craving for fruit during her pregnancies with daughter Giovanna Marie, born September 26, 2014, and son Lorenzo, born in 2012. "I craved a lot of fruit the first pregnancy, and this time it's strawberries," the reality TV star told Us magazine. "During my first pregnancy, I would eat so much pineapple that my tongue would burn from the acid." Well, maybe that isn't so lucky.

While pregnant with daughter Wyatt, born October 1, 2014, the Black Swan actress had stereotypical cravings: "I eat sauerkraut all day long," she revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Here's the truth: This is the worst craving to have because sauerkraut smells and so every time you open up a jar, it just reeks in the whole kitchen. It's not like ice cream, where everything smells lovely."

Luckily, her fiancé, Ashton Kutcher, anticipated it: "He assumed that I was gonna have goofy cravings, so he stocked our secondary fridge with weird food," she said. "Just like pickles and sauerkraut, or like anchovies and ice creams, just in case at one point during this pregnancy I'd be like, 'I really want something.' And it happened last week. I was like, 'Oh, my God, I need a pickle!' It was just the weirdest thing, like I needed this pickle. And he was like, 'Hold on a second,' and disappeared in the backyard and came back with the most amazing dill pickle of all time."

While Carey was eating for three, she curbed her cravings by cooking comfort foods like smothered pork chops and pecan pie with homemade whipped cream. But to keep the pregnancy pounds from piling on, she cooks the food, takes a taste, and then serves her then-husband, Nick Cannon. After a few small bites, her cravings disappeared, Cannon told People.
