Ashlee Simpson Squashes Baby Rumor on ‘Ellen’

[cut]
One more time, with feeling — Ashlee Simpson taped her segment for the Ellen Degeneres show Wednesday (air date: Thursday), and obviously, Ellen had to ask about her rumored pregnancy with fiance/Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. It . It went down like this:

Ellen: So I can’t let you sit here and not ask you the question, the elephant in the room: Now, are you or are you not pregnant?

Ashlee: Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is definitely something that I choose personally not to discuss except for the fact that maybe… do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something…because I don’t think I do (Ashlee stands up.)

Ellen: No. You don’t look pregnant at all, but everybody is saying you are. Let me just ask you this … I think it’s a personal thing, but you’ve got to promise me that you’re not going to keep this answer up as long as this woman did. (Ellen holds up picture of J.Lo) Don’t do that…

Ashlee: No. (Ashlee laughs) I’m not. I swear.

Ellen: At some point, let us in on it.

Ashlee: I promise you that. I give you my pinky on that.

Ellen: Is it a boy or a girl?

Ashlee: Ah … you’re funny (she laughs).

Hokay Ash. We get it. You’re trim and not pregnant. Well played, little miss obsessive.
