Reese Witherspoon pregnancy speculation begins now

fp_7379491_witherspoon_reese_pod_08_11

Here are some new photos of poor Reese Witherspoon with her broken ankle or whatever (meh, I don’t feel like looking it up) sprained ankle. Reese was supposed to spend this honeymoon period swatting away pregnancy rumors, instead she’s hobbling around, making the cast the newest must-have fashion accessory. Seriously, she does make the cast look pretty chic.

Still, the pregnancy rumors have started anyway. Does she look pregnant here? Not really. But the Enquirer is trying to make it happen anyway:

Baby scoop on radiant Reese Witherspoon! Popping into a posh Brentwood baby boutique, the newlywed star shopped for infant items exclusively – but in nongender-specific colors like yellow and white – causing folks to wonder if a new baby’s on the way.

When a salesgirl pointedly asked WHO the items were for, Reese smiled and said cryptically: “I’m just picking out some things I need.”

But ladies, here’s the smoking gun: Reese left without getting the baby items gift-wrapped!

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker’s column]

Does Mike Walker think that the first thing a newly pregnant woman does is go out and buy some baby clothes? Don’t you wait a bit? The clothes were probably for a friend, and Reese just wanted to wrap the stuff herself. She’s so crafty and down-home, I bet she has a gift-wrapping room. I’m so jealous!

    Adorable. Just. Love. Her.

  2. brin says:

    Yeah, she is cute! The tabs are also putting Jen Garner on bumpwatch.

  3. Quest says:

    Desperate for a baby bump aren’t they? Oh Reese, I love how you make a bad situation look good. Really adorable look

  4. Kasey says:

    Don’t think she is pregnant here. I did earlier but in these pics she looks so very NOT pregnant. Additionally, if she can’t run or do her other regular exercise routines and is injured for a while, she may put on a little so maybe that’s what the tabs are gearing up for.

    Jen Garner deserves to be on bumpwatch. That woman and her husband are up to SOMETHING! I saw pics of him with her, smiling, in PUBLIC not too long ago. HE was smiling and I think he even hugged her. SOMETHING is up!

    I wish I had a gift wrapping room!

  6. louise says:

    Begins now? Tabloids have been saying she’s pregnant ever since she announced her engagement. They grew even stronger closer to the ceremony and after. It baffles me that rumors start for buying a few baby things. When I got pregnant most of my shopping began at 5-6 months pregnant and I bought tons of stuff. Never have I bought 1 or 2 outfits.

  7. Delta Juliet says:

    Or maybe she was bored and wanted to get the gossip sites talking 😀

  8. OXA says:

    No, it began when she was all over Europe for her latest movie premiers wearing low cut puffy skirted dresses.

  9. Gal says:

    Maybe she likes to wrap presents herself that she gives to other people.

  10. Megan says:

    Can we please stop speculating every 15 seconds whether famous women are pregnant? It’s really no one’s business. Even if she is pregnant, if she’s just a couple weeks, she won’t “look” pregnant and there’s the distinct possibility she won’t even know herself. Baby bump headlines and articles are stupid and tiring to read.

  11. Ponytail says:

    Do people really get leg casts, or whatever that thing is, for a sprained ankle ? Surely all you need to do is rest it up for a couple of days.

  12. Heatheradair says:

    Weird. This morning as I was drying my hair, I found myself wondering “when is reese gonna pop out a Mini-Toth?”

    And then I felt stupid for thinking about things like reese’s womb while blow-drying.

    And then I couldn’t figure out how on earth I started thinking about reese in the first place, best I could do was track it back to some memory of Legally Blonde that came to mind while I was waiting for the curling iron to heat up.

    Anyway……..

    I know she is rich, but she is a mom with two kids already, a boy and a girl, so I’m sure she already HAS all the newborn stuff she needs. So I doubt she is out looking for baby stuff for herself. I know that celebrities aren’t like you and me, but still, their babies are going to drool, spit-up and have blow-outs for the first few months. Who in their right mind would buy all new clothing for that?

  14. L says:

    @ponytail it depends on the level of the sprain. In some ways it’s tougher for a sprain to heal then ‘just’ a broken ankle. I had to wear a soft cast for about a month when I sprained mine, and that was after RICEing it for a 2 days.

  15. Delta Juliet says:

    @ Ponytail

    I’ve had two severe ankle sprains and the most I ever got was an air cast and crutches. The least I had was an ace bandage. So who knows. Looks like more than a sprain to me.

  16. Ria says:

    not pregnant

  17. Mimi says:

    She is so stinking cute! Def doesn’t look pregnant in these pics. If she gets preggers we will all know. She is short and thin like me and women with that type of build tend to show a lot earlier than other women. She makes some cute babies though, so heres hoping lol.

  18. TQB says:

    She’s just so pretty. Not even a leg cast can make her look bad. DAMN.

  19. LBeees says:

    First, that is one big mother of a cast for a *sprained ankle*. Jeebus.

    Second, this outfit would work so much better if the skirt was fitted. I hate unfitted skirts that hit above the knee. So unflattering. You should do a news update! “All points bulletin: never wear flowing skirts, as they look like Abercrombie leftovers from the late 90s.”

  20. lrm says:

    well, i wear ‘flowing skirts’ above the knee all the time-it’s a bohemian-ish look that i love, look good in and very comfortable in. I think it’s a look that never goes out of style, regardless of whether or not abercrombie and finch decided to sell them for awhile in the 90’s.

    Plus,t he fact that stores are currently selling this style, tells me they are still in fashion for some people.

    Not everyone likes the pencil skirt. or the cigarette pants, for that matter. (the same way some people ‘hate’ short skirts that are not fitted above the knee’) and like i said, some of us look good in the flowy short skirts. Reese’s skirt is not really flowy, either. It’s just casual short, IMO.

    I had one of those after I badly sprained my ankle during a run and I had to wear one of those around for at least a month or so (? a while ago) because the doctor x-rayed my foot and I had fractured something. It actually does help after a major sprain because when the swelling goes down and you can walk with just a little pain, the removable cast keeps your ankle very straight and if you do it tight enough, your ankle doesn’t hurt when you walk. Plus, it’s very soft and comfortable.

    I love her outfit! This is how Katherine Hiegl should dress. You can’t go wrong with simple well cut pieces.

  22. the original bellaluna says:

    Everybody knows the first things you run right out and buy after finding out you’re pregnant are saltines, ginger snaps, Gatorade, and pre-natal vitamins. DUH, Mike.

  23. fannomore says:

    cute yes, pregnant no, a little bloat, probably

  24. Trashaddict says:

    Change in the backside and the hips, and full cheeks are the best clues I know. The face softens. Don’t think she’s there yet, unless she’s having a lot of morning sickness. If she pukes up her morning coffee, OK then!

  25. jc126 says:

    I thought she was pregnant a while ago, but it seems not.
    However – I think I know what’s going on here; hear me out, so to speak. There’s a boutique in California which has been mentioned in an unreal number of stories about babies of pregnant celebs, and very often wrongly: for instance – they said Bridget Moynihan was shopping for a girl when she was having a boy, that sort of thing. After seeing the name so many times, it dawned on me that the staffers at this place make up phony stories just to get the name mentioned for publicity. I think they phoned in a tip to Walker, but apparently he didn’t mention the name of the place.
