(Newser) – Alex Kuczynski, the super-rich author of Beauty Junkie, has gotten pregnant, the New York Post reports. The bun pops into the oven at an ironic time—Kucyznski recently drew a hail of jeers for a New York Times Magazine article entitled “Her Body, My Baby,” in which she gloated about the joys of surrogate motherhood.

Kuczynski had believed herself infertile after several miscarriages, but now, at 40, she’s pregnant the old-fashioned way. “They’re really happy,” the Post’s source says.
