I’ve always had a suspicion that Jennifer Aniston’s face was on every tabloid cover at the supermarket checkout. Who was standing in line there, and looking at or buying the tabloids? Young mothers of small children (think Walmart during August). They either worshipped Ms. Aniston and wished she would produce some small versions. Or they envied her her charmed, luxurious life and wished she would get knocked up, suffer puffy legs, hemorrhoids, and be blessed with her own set of squalling brats. I think they either loved fulfilling their destinies as mommys, or were angered that she was child-free. In either case, it was disgusting, like watching a panda in a zoo hoping it was going to breed.
The way you phrased that makes it sound like sometimes Aniston popping into the public eye started rumors that Lawless was pregnant, or vice-versa. An amusing notion.
