For years now, it's been rumored that Jennifer Aniston is either getting pregnant, is pregnant or was pregnant, yet she hasn't managed to actually get pregnant just yet. And that's why both fans and critics alike can't help but wonder if there's something going on behind the Hollywood star's PR game or that she might be the one behind all of those pregnancy rumors to simply garner attention for whatever movie or product she may be promoting.

According to the popular gossip blog Celebitchy, there might be a method behind all of this baby bump madness and that Aniston and her team of handlers know exactly what they are doing. The actress was photographed sporting what looked like a baby bump while she was beachside during a quick trip she took to the Bahamas last week with her husband, Justin Theroux.

Following yet another statement denying a pregnancy from Aniston's rep, the site speculates, "So did we get played? Was the controversy designed by Aniston's PR to get some attention for something? I have no idea. It would be easier to understand if Aniston was promoting a film, but all she's got to promote is her latest perfume, and it seems like a waste to use a pregnancy-gossip-trap on a perfume release."

And it seems like other critics agree as they've commented with, "I will freely and shamefully admit that I got played by those pics. To me it looked like her torso was curved out from her lower abdomen all the way up to just below her bustline. I always thought food babies were more of a pooch in just the lower abdomen. I got suckered," while another wrote, "I'm not the biggest Aniston fan on the planet, but damn, I feel for her with this. She's clearly had self esteem and weight issues in the past (what female hasn't??) and to feel you need to suck in your stomach all the time....ugh. I don't know how celebrities leave the house."

So far Aniston herself has not commented on any of the baby bump rumors.
