This Week In Pregnancy Rumors

Because you're dying to know, I know. Don't you want to be able say, oh, yeah - YAWN - I knew that WEEKS ago when the swelling bellies are staring everyone in the face?

Of course you do. That's why you read this shiz.

Pregnancy rumor #1: Ashlee Simpson. This one's been buzzed about since she and Emo Boy went public with their engagement, but now, apparently, there's some pretty solid confirmation. A music industry insider spilled the dirt (to a well-connected gossip known personally to yours truly), and the dirt is this: she's absolutely preggers, expecting sometime early this fall, and will be showing off a none-too-insignificant baby bump soon.

Pregnancy rumor #2: Britney. I've been avoiding this one, because, you know, people are always saying that she's pregnant and also? It's just gets a little bit depressing after a while, trying to keep track of Britney's ups and downs. And I just don't know that another stork visit for Britney would be the bestest news, yanno? What with her being denied of the kids that she already has and all. Still, the buzz is on: is she sporting a baby bump? IS SHE?

God, I hope not. (Source)

Pregnancy rumor #3: Beyonce. YAWN. Can't a girl get married these days without everyone yelling 'shotgun!'? Apparently not. (Source)

Pregnancy rumor #4: Victoria Beckham. But this one? DENIED. She says that she's absolutely not pregnant, and wouldn't you know it? She was not smiling when she said it. You don't mess with Posh. If she says HELL NO, then HELL NO. So, no fetus there. (Source)

Not there's going to be any shortage. Between the ladies noted above and every female celebrity who's been spotted wearing one of those horrible muu-muus lately, I'm guessing that we can continue to expect fetus-rumors at about a rate of one-per-day. And if anyone else gets married or drops out of a movie? We won't be able to keep up.

I was wondering about Britney after her appearance on How I Met Your Mother. She had a similar shape before she acknowledged the rumors when she was on Will & Grace.

Posh was not smiling when she said that? Huh.

Has anyone ever seen her smile? How could one tell? My face would hurt from the strain of constantly sucking in my cheekbones like she does.

Britney's been hitting the gym ALL THE TIME, multiple times a day even, but yet she's definitely not slimming down the way she usually could once she actually put her mind to it. (NOTE: NOT calling her fat, hell no, she's just...kind of round, FOR HER.)

But I'd say we're seeing the results of bipolar meds combined with what happens to even the best metabolism after years of abuse and bad eating habits. So not pregnant. Please. God.

(Although like Nic said -- we watched HIMYM and Jason asked me if she was pregnant. He said her arms had the same soft "look" that mine get. I guess my terrible shallow obsessions are wearing off on him.)
