Ok, a lot of us hadn't seen Friends in quite a while, so it wasn't that easy to see it coming.

Anend to all the speculation, I took this off MSN this morning:


Just for the record: Rachel Green is pregnant. Her alter ego, Jennifer Aniston, is not pregnant.
Leave it to the blurred lines of fact and TV fiction--and a German magazine--to unleash more stork rumors for Aniston and hubby Brad Pitt. But their publicists (still) insist the Friends star is not expecting--and they're now seeking a retraction from the German edition of Marie Claire over its false pregnancy report.

The magazine has quoted Pitt as saying, "Number one is already on the way...Now, we're just hoping that everything goes well." Pitt's camp says the actor did speak to the freelance writer who penned the story, but that he never said Aniston was pregnant.

Speculation about the couple's family plans has been brewing for months, fueled in part by the cliffhanger season finale of Friends, which revealed that Aniston's character Rachel is preggers.

Aniston, 32, and Pitt, 37, tied the knot last July in Malibu, and they've since made no secrets about their plans for a little bundle of joy. In a story that wasn't retracted, Pitt told Britain's Sunday Express earlier this year that "the planning is under way, negotiations are taking place, and I'm willing to predict a successful conclusion."

Added Pitt: "I believe in the concept of marriage and family and it's always been my intention to take this step and build a life with someone."

Yikes!
