Let's hope bloated Britney isn't pregnant... she's smoking again

Considering all the effort she's made to restore her fitness, with a ciggie in hand, bloated Britney hardly looks the picture of health.
If there is any truth in the rumours that the singer really is pregnant again, her fly puff near her Los Angeles home could be damaging more than just her own health.
Britney - whose increased weight and a recent trip to an LA medical centre have fuelled speculation she is in the family way - looked even more bloated than she has in recent weeks.
The pop star has been back in training in preparation for a comeback, spending plenty of time on the treadmill - but despite all the effort, she is failing to regain the svelte figure which made her famous.
For weeks, Hollywood has been abuzz with rumours that Britney may be pregnant again, but the singer has not confirmed anything.
And, pregnant or otherwise, the sight of the singer puffing away on a cigarette can only increase concerns about her health.
Just last week, the Toxic singer was snapped cradling her stomach during a shopping trip.
Dressed casually in tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt, the mother-of-two was seen placing a protective hand over her bulging tummy, sparking speculation that she has joined younger sister Jamie-Lynn in the mother-to-be club.
