The National Enquirer is running an article that claims that “friends” are wondering if Jessica Simpson is pregnant. Commentors here have speculated the same thing in regards to her weight gain, and it sounds to me like they’re just looking at the pictures.

They use the picture of those terrible high-waisted pants she was wearing and say that her boobs are getting big and that people are talking:

The 26-year-old beauty has been dating the singer-songwriter since last July, and this spring has been accompanying him on his Continuum tour. The two are deeply in love – and pals believe Jessica could be planning on wlecoming a new arrival in the not-too-distant future.

“Her friends are astounded at how huge Jessica’s breasts have gotten, and are asking each other if she could be pregnant,” a friend of the singer told the Enquirer….

When contacted… her publicist denied that she is expecting. But Jess has undergone physical changes recently that could be related to pregnancy. Jessica’s breasts, for example, seem to be expanding, says another source.

“Her breasts are positively huge, and she really seems to be taking care of herself.

“She’s not saying anything one way or the other when the subject comes up, but women who put on weight don’t smile when someone suggests they might be pregnant,” added the source.

The article goes on to say that ther father would be livid if she got pregnant without being married.

Of course Jessica and John are off again, but might still be seeing each other. John made a lot of references to being a single guy in his sort-of ok comedy act, which someone recorded and uploaded to YouTube, but that may have just been his bit.

If Jessica is pregnant it would make things damn interesting for these two. She hasn’t really gained weight like this in the past from what I can remember, so it could be true.
