Jen's pregnant pause?
Report says baby's the reason why Aniston, Mayer seem to be back together after summer break-up

I've lost track of the number of false pregnancy reports we've heard about Jennifer Aniston over the years -- both before, during and after her marriage to Brad Pitt.

Now comes another one, this time breathlessly pushed by Australia's New Weekly, claiming the father is John Mayer. The pregnancy tale is being touted as the reason the actress and the singer are seemingly back together, after splitting up earlier this summer.

An Australian weekly reports that actress Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, but sources can't deny or confirm the rumor.


I do find the story hard to believe and further doubt the explanation -- that Aniston is so obsessed with Angelina Jolie, she would get pregnant just to start competing with her ex-hubby in the child-rearing department.

(If that were true, the ex-''Friends'' star better get busy birthing a bunch of babies!)

However, having said all that, I do find it very intriguing that all my usual Aniston sources were totally mum on Monday.

''I have no idea. ... I really can't say,'' said a longtime Aniston pal who usually isn't shy about sharing gossip about her friend.

''Can't talk now. I'm in a meeting,'' cut off another Aniston insider and top studio exec.

Most surprising, was the fact Aniston's veteran publicist Stephen Huvane -- who is usually very prompt in quashing false rumors -- did not return repeated calls to his Los Angeles office Monday.

Could there be something to this?

They didn't pay that much of attention I guess...

Aniston�s spokesperson wrote in an e-mail to wowOwow.com: "The story coming out of Australia is just another fabrication and something we won�t be dignifying with a response."

Oh, my God. This is good comedy! The longtime Aniston pal who has probably told her that Jennifer is really, really pregnant this time a million times before is now keeping quiet. Gosh, how hilarious.

Jennifer Aniston Pregnancy Rumors Untrue

A new internet rumor spreading like wildfire is that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, but ET sets the record straight!

ET went right to the source and we're told the reports are false. The story began surfacing on gossip sites across the web after an Australian tabloid claimed that she's with child.

According to Jen's press rep, that is completely untrue.

"Give me a break," the rep tells ET. "She is NOT pregnant."
