Not so long ago I mused over whether or not there was any truth to the rumor that Ashlee Simpson was carrying twins. Ashlee and husband Pete Wentz of Good Charlotte Fall Out Boy fame were allegedly hiding the fact that she was preggers with more than one baby but according to some fodder Pete let it slip there were two kiddos in there in a radio interview, which of course he denied or retracted or whatever.

Well, now the loose lips are at it again. This time they have the size of Ashlee's belly at the recent Video Music Awards to use as "proof" that the singer is doubling her pleasure. According to "friend" hip hop artist Tyga, the couple are in the family way in more than one way. Tyga told Eonline that they are indeed expecting twins and that they're really happy.

Don't bother holding your breath until something comes out that Tyga was misquoted or the words were taken out of context, etc. But, on the other hand, hey, why not--I thought celebs only had twins these days! To look at it you'd think twins were the new black. If Simpson is carrying them she'll make the twelfth celebrity parent to welcome twins in a matter of a few years. Trendy indeed!

Updated: Our friends at PopCrunch have assured us that nope, there's only one wee one in there. I guess the twin trend is over ...
