Liz Hurley is many things – wooden in all her films, unusually intolerant of people who call her Liz Hurley instead of Elizabeth Hurley, a bit old – but she is definitely not in any way at all.

In fact, Liz Hurley is probably no more now than she has been at any point in her life, except for that time that she was actually . Anyway, the pictures of her in the papers looking a bit round in the belly area – ignore them, Liz Hurley says. She’s not . Did we make that clear?

Liz Hurley (DVDs) doesn’t seem to spend too much time in the public eye
these days. Since her spectacular streak of awful films (The Weight Of
Water, Bedazzled, Double Whammy, Bad Boy, Serving Sara and Method) this
century, Liz seems to have spent most of her time cavorting around with her new
love, Indian tycoon Arun Nayar. And making that fashion show series,
but that doesn’t count because nobody watches it. Liz and Arun have long spoken about their desire for children. Last month Liz said:

"Arun really wants one. I’ve discovered what a joy children are, so we’ll see. I’d secretly like twins."

Liz Hurley fuelled pregnancy rumours last month when she was seen leaving an antenatal clinic, and then again last week on a skiing holiday where Liz didn’t ski. So when Liz Hurley appeared in yesterday’s newspapers wearing a
tight dress that seemed to make her belly stick out a bit, everybody
jumped to the conclusion that it was because she was . The
Mirror quoted a source as saying:

"She’s famous for being fantastically trim but her bulge was unmistakable. It certainly got tongues wagging."

But
the pictures, and all of the speculation, are all a lot of flapdoodle
according to Liz Hurley’s publicist, who says that the reports are:

"100 per cent categorically untrue." 

Judging by the usual publicist rate of accuracy, though, this means that Liz is probably stuffed full of  about a thousand foetuses like a massive acting spider. Or something.
