     *Maya Rudolph may have gotten huge laughs butchering the National Anthem as a bad singer on a recent “Saturday Night Live,” but the actress and her family have a little situation at home that is far from funny…bedbugs.

      According to the AP, Rudolph is suing the owners of a condo she is renting in New York for leaving behind the nocturnal insects to chew on her family – which consists of her boyfriend Paul Thomas Anderson (director of “Boogie Nights”) and their one-year-old baby, Pearl Bailey Anderson.

      A $450,000 lawsuit says that immediately after they moved into the third-floor condominium loft apartment in SoHo last month, “The plaintiffs were bitten over portions of their bodies by bedbugs. Apparently unbeknown to plaintiffs, the premises were infested with bedbugs."     

      Rudolph, in her seventh season on “SNL,” said she and her boyfriend were told the apartment was "perfect" and was in a "first-class luxury" building, according to papers filed Wednesday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court. The couple had signed a $13,500-a-month lease, paying two months rent and a month's security as well as a month's rent as a broker's commission.     

      Adding insult to injury, the elevator in the building was out of order for at least six of their first 11 days, court papers say.     

        After Rudolph and Anderson complained, an exterminator showed up on Oct. 17 and advised them to leave, at least for a few weeks, for the sake of their baby. They left and never returned, said their lawyer Kenneth J. Glassman.     

      The lawsuit names Halstead Property LLC, the broker, and Francis Feeney, the owner of the apartment, as defendants. It seeks a total of $450,500 in compensatory and punitive damages, repayment of rent and broker's fees and legal fees.
