To Whom It May Concern:
I was in the grocery check-out line this morning, and a headline of yours reported that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant. You backed up this fine journalism by zooming in on a picture of her stomach, with a big yellow arrow pointing out her "baby bump".
Seriously?
That is not a baby bump. I've had cases of indigestion that led to a bigger "baby bump" than that.
This is not the first time I've seen you speculate on a celebrity's pregnancy based on the size of her belly. May I kindly point out that evaluating such phenomenon in women who have paid staff to feed and exercise them might not be an accurate gauge? If you'd like to step out of Hollywood into Real World America, you might find that {gasp!} women's abs are rarely flat, and a more realistic gestational clue would be that she is barfing into flower beds or bursting into tears when she realizes she's out of corn dogs.
You're welcome.
And by the way, lay off Jennifer Aniston.
Signed,
Shannon, proud owner of a "baby bump" since 1992
