It seems like just about everyday there is a new report in the tabloids about a celebrity pregnancy that turns out to be false. Celebrities are constantly being scrutinized for their weight and many of these stars are find themselves bombarded with rumors that they are expecting. Often times, the speculation comes out of nowhere and the celebrity is left to defend themselves or have their reps dispel the rumors.

Other times, they may post an unflattering photograph of themselves on social media that starts a firestorm of pregnancy accusations. Their own fans and followers are the people calling them out on the fact that they look chubby or bloated in a certain picture. Maybe they ate an extra helping at dinner or it happens to be their time of the month. Either way, many stars take to social media themselves to deny that they are expecting.

It doesn't take much for the public and the paparazzi to claim that a celebrity is with child. An over-sized handbag covering even the smallest belly suddenly means that they have a bun the oven. A night on the town in a revealing dress can show every little bump and next thing you know, it's being reported that they're pregnant. From gaining a few pounds because they are happy and in love to medications that can cause them to bloat, these stars have found themselves under the microscope of the media. Here is a list of 15 Celebs Who Weren't Pregnant But Overweight.

15 Halle Berry

Actress Halle Berry is known for her amazing figure. She famously stepped into the latex Cat Woman costume and wowed audiences with her toned body. Berry strapped on a teeny tiny bikini and stunned viewers as Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson in the 2002 film Die Another Day. So, when she recently made an appearance at the 16th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball with the tiniest belly under her shimmery dress, fans went nuts.

Rumors that the 50-year-old was pregnant blew up all over social media. One of her fans wrote in Twitter, “Log on and see Halle Berry is 50 and pregnant, by who? What I need answers.” Another person said, “Am I the only one who was NOT aware that Halle Berry is pregnant???”

Halle quickly shut down the rumor mill when she posted an Instagram pic of her beautiful, smoldering face with the caption, “Can a girl have some steak and fries??”

14 Christina Aguilera

Singer, Christina Aguilera, went through a time where she put on a few pounds. Her more curvaceous figure got the tabloids speculating that she might have been expecting a baby. At the time, she'd already given birth to her first child with her now ex-husband, music executive Jordan Bratman. The rumors started flying that she was pregnant by her boyfriend, production assistant Matthew Rutler.

Aguilera admitted that she wasn't with child but had just put on weight. It appears that falling in love had caused her to balloon out a bit. She told People magazine: 'When I first got engaged, I gained weight. We call it the 'love chub' When you’re happy and you’re cozy just chillin’ in bed together on a day off, what do you want to do? Cozy up with cozy foods.” She has since given birth to her daughter, Summer Rain Rutler with her partner, Matthew.

13 Rihanna

Pop star Rihanna sent social media ablaze with pregnancy speculation when photos were published in which she was wearing loose fitting clothes. The songstress is usually known for rocking tight fitting fashions so when the pictures surfaced of her in a totally different vibe, fans took notice. One Instagram fan posted an imaged of a heavier Rihanna crossing the street with the caption, “#Rihanna's been eating good.” Others wondered if the singer was attempting to hide a baby bump. “She looking real pregnant,” one follower commented, claiming that her face was “filling out.”

Much to everyone's dismay, a source close to Rihanna told HollywoodLife.com, “Rihanna isn’t pregnant, sorry to disappoint everyone, but, nope. She has something going on, but it’s private.” The source continued. “The speculation is tough for Rihanna. But, she knows she’ll be back to her regular self soon enough.” This is just another case of a celebrity putting on a little of weight.

12 Britney Spears

Singer, Britney Spears is no stranger to controversy. After her mental meltdown in which she shaved her head, the actress packed on some pounds as she struggled to get her life back together. At the time, Spears had given birth to her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. After photos surfaced of Spears looking heavier, the tabloid world blew up with rumors that she was expecting baby #3. She quickly squashed all speculation and denied that she was pregnant.

The Daily Mail ran a story on the subject to clear up the rumor. "U.S. pop singer Britney Spears says she is not pregnant for a third time despite recent photographs showing her with a bloated stomach,” The Daily Mail reported. Britney claimed that prescription meds were responsible for her heavier look. 'I am not pregnant — it is just my medication that makes me bloated.” The songstress said.

11 Jennifer Garner

Actress Jennifer Garner, who has three children with her estranged husband, Ben Affleck, seems to always be denying rumors that she's expecting her 4th child. Many pictures were taken by the paparazzi in which Garner seemed to have a baby bump blossoming under her shirt. Speculation swirled that her round belly meant she was pregnant yet again.

Garner defended her baby bump when she appeared on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show. During the interview with DeGeneres, she cleared up the rumors. “I am not pregnant, but I have had three kids and there is a bump,” said Garner. “I get congratulated all the time by people I know. This one woman who had babysat for us said, ‘Oh, my gosh! I can’t wait for No. 4,’ and I thought, ‘What is going on?’ ” Garner said. “So I asked around and apparently I have a baby bump, and I’m here to tell you that I do!”

10 Mariah Carey

Singer and diva, Mariah Carey, is another celebrity that people love to say is pregnant. Especially after tabloid pictures surfaced of Carey leaving dinner looking more curvaceous than usual. Rumors started flying that Carey was actually pregnant with her back up dancer, Bryan Tanaka's, baby. The two were spotted getting cozy during a dinner date. Turns out, Mariah's rep told E!News that she wasn't pregnant with baby #3.

Chances are that Mariah won't be having more children due to how difficult it was for her to carry her twins. She once said in an interview with 20/20, "Carrying two babies. Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through, because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me," she said. "I had serious back problems...I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to walk properly again. It was a huge strain."

9 Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is known for rocking outlandish outfits that show off her trim body. Yet, is seems that Gaga went through a chubby phase of her own and had to shoot down rumors that she was pregnant. During the summer of 2015, she had to dispel speculation that she was expecting and set the record straight. During her Cheek to Cheek concert with Tony Bennett at the Hollywood Bowl, she addressed the false reports head on.

"I'm getting a little older and many people think I’m pregnant, but I tell them, 'I'm just almost f**king 30," Gaga said to the audience. "Tony's taught me [that] you can live your life and feel the same every single day forever...Me on the other hand, I'm having a more difficult time with things. A little more here and there," she explained and then grabbed her bulging thigh. There you have it, she wasn't pregnant

8 Jessica Simpson

Singer and fashion designer, Jessica Simpson, is mom to two kiddos, Maxwell and Ace, with her husband, Eric Johnson. Since giving birth, Simpson has lost the baby weight and is back to her amazing figure. Yet, for a time, her fuller figure she kept the paparazzi speculating that she was pregnant with baby #3. Simpson took the rumors in stride and handled the situation with humor when she was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying that she had a "very exciting" announcement to make.

"I'm not pregnant on your show!" Simpson said. Ellen jokingly responded "Are you sure that you're not pregnant? "I heard that you were." "Oh, gosh!" Simpson replied. "We had an IUD. Nothing's gonna get in that uterus!" Ellen then commented, "You only show up here when you're pregnant." Jessica promised that no more kids are on the way. She's just another celebrity who was bloated, not pregnant.

7 Eva Longoria

Former Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria, fell victim to the pregnancy rumor mill when she posted a cute clip on Instagram of herself wearing a tiny bikini while being doused with a water gun. The fun clip made her fans wonder if she was expecting. Despite the fact that she is super thin, followers suspected that a tiny little belly was actually a baby bump.

Longoria put the rumors to rest by taking to Instagram with an Instagram Story Video that cleared the air. “Morning, everybody, last day in paradise and I’m exhausted,” Longoria said in the clip. “We worked out this morning. So I saw some pictures of myself [looking] really fat on a boat. I have to tell you, all I did was eat cheese. So that’s the news of the day. I’m not pregnant, just eating a lot of cheese, a lot of wine, a lot of pancakes.”

6 Tyra Banks

Former talk show host and supermodel, Tyra Banks, is another celebrity that keeps her fans speculating about if she's pregnant or not. Recently, the rumors were running rampant when she went out to dinner with her long-term partner and folks suspected that they saw a baby bump. The actress has yet to speak out.

The answer was unclear when the model's rep said, “I do not comment on her personal life,”... and could not confirm or deny these rumors. Banks recently had her first child via a surrogate. She shared with People Magazine that she had struggled with infertility. "When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids. I'm like, 'Damn, the clock is ticking!'" said. "I’ve had some not happy moments with [IVF], very traumatic moments. It’s difficult as you get older. It’s not something that can just happen."

5 Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato sent the rumors flying when she took a trip to a treatment facility. A Salt Lake City Radio station made a false report that not only had Lovato checked into the center to deal with Bulimia and Bipolar Disorder but that she was also expecting with her then boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. Social outlets picked up on the story and ran with it, reporting that the slightly overweight singer was indeed pregnant

Her reps were busy clearing up and dispelling all sorts of rumors during that time. They made a statement denying that the star wasn't pregnant as well as shutting down reports that she was in treatment for drugs and alcohol. Lovato just needed some time to heal and recover from her eating disorder and depression. Turns out that she didn't actually have a bun in the oven and had simply added a few inches to her frame.

4 Lea Michelle

Once upon a time, actress Lea Michelle was dating her Glee costar, Cory Monteith. At the time, Michelle was photographed by the paparazzi and was seen leaving a brunch date with her boyfriend. In the photo, she appears to be hiding the smallest little bump behind an over-sized black handbag. It didn't help matters that she was also wearing a frumpy t-shirt and baggy pants. The pregnancy police immediately speculated that the star was with child.

Her rep quickly made a statement about the claim saying, "It's completely false." Michelle even took to Twitter to dispel the rumor and and tweeted, “My first fake pregnancy rumor! I've finally made it! :)” This seems to be just a case of bad lighting combined with a bad angle and maybe a really big serving at brunch. The star wasn't hiding a baby bump and shut down the false firestorm like a boss.

3 Lena Dunham

Girls actress, Lena Dunham, is known for flaunting her figure. Fans caught glimpses of her body when she shot nude scenes for the show. Yet, that didn't stop one fan from speculating that Dunham was pregnant. The rumor started when Dunham posted a pic to Instagram wearing a form fitting gown that hugged her belly. One follower asked, 'Are you expecting? You look beautiful.'

Lena responded by saying 'Thank you!''I'm not expecting but I did enjoy a large box of gluten free crackers prior to this image,' she added 'It's funny, folks have told me I looked pregnant/asked since I was 15 - I choose to embrace it as another curve like a** or boobs or hip.' The fan then apologized, saying, “Well you look amazing!!! Sorry if it offended you as many seem to think it should have. I don't know you personally so it was just an innocent question.”

2 Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian has the world wondering if she is pregnant with boyfriend, Tristan Thompson's baby. The reality star, who was formerly known as the “fat sister” on the show Keeping Up with The Kardashians, has slimmed down. Yet, she posted a series of Polaroids on Snapchat, and referred to herself and Tristan as "dad + mom." Fans went crazy, speculating that she was announcing her pregnancy.

After she started a social media firestorm, she shut down the rumors pretty fast. Days later, Kardashian, shared a series of Snapchats with Thompson, drinking red wine. So, I'd say that we can easily say the reality star is currently not with child. This isn't the first time that Kardashian has been accused of being pregnant. The tabloids often speculated that she was expecting her ex-husband, Lamar Odom's baby. Yet, a true pregnancy never surfaced and the star had just put on a few pounds.

1 Jennifer Aniston

Actress Jennifer Aniston is hardly overweight, yet it seems she is always being slammed with false pregnancy reports. Despite being thin as a rail, she fueled the speculation by being seen all over New York City covering her stomach with a handbag multiple times. Can't a lady walk down the street, clutching a handbag, without being called pregnant?

Aniston got so weary of the pregnancy allegations that she penned an essay on The Huffington Post entitled, For The Record. Aniston wrote, “For the record, I am not pregnant.” She went on to say that she thought the speculation was damaging to society. “The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time... but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.”
