Megan Fox Appears Pregnant in Photo

Is Megan Fox the next Hollywood mommy-to-be? The "Jonah Hex" actress, who turned 26 on May 16, appears to be sporting a baby bump in a photograph taken of her on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Her publicist didn't immediately respond to omg!'s request for comment. In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" earlier this month, one of Fox's handlers stopped an interview when the subject turned to babies. And the brunette beauty's husband, actor Brian Austin Green, whom she married in June 2010 after dating him on and off for six years, has also been mum on the subject. When asked in early May whether there was any truth to the rumors that the two were expecting, Green, 38, told People only that, "They've been saying that every three months ever since we got married, and it's sort of one of those things that they love to say." Several news websites have already reported that Fox and Green are expecting a bundle of joy, citing inside sources. Star magazine has reported that another unidentified source revealed Fox is having a girl.
