Rumors of a new addition to the White House are building up

The Presidential Inauguration over, the media is now going back to all the photos that have been taken on the occasion, in the hope of finding a clue to confirm or deny the latest rumor. Michelle Obama might be pregnant again, gossip blogger Perez Hilton reports, citing sources from DC.

While stating clearly that this is nothing but a rumor at this point, not even Perez, known for having spies all over in showbiz and for occasionally getting the hottest scoops, can help himself from wondering whether there is any foundation to this. “This is completely unconfirmed and at this point just a ‘rumor’ but... we’re hearing the talk in DC is that Michelle Obama is pregnant. Could this be true????? It’d be happy news! Hopefully it’s a boy!” Perez Hilton writes in a recent post.

While the White House would not comment in any way on this, word got out in the media and spread like wild fire, according to several sources. Media representatives took to carefully inspecting all recent photos of Michelle Obama, in the hope of seeing some form of bulge or any indication that she was staying off alcohol. So far, they have come empty-handed, but the rumors will simply not die down no matter what.

Even more, several photos of Michelle sipping on what looks like a glass of champagne have been uncovered, but this too failed to stop the gossip mill. For one, she could have been drinking something that had no alcohol, some say, so, for what it’s worth, she could be pregnant with her third child. Other outlets are saying that 45-year-old Michelle could have been pregnant as far back as November, when Obama won the elections. 

Be that as it may, both Michelle and Barack have often spoken about their children and children-related plans, revealing that they had no intention of adding another member to their family. The couple has now two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7.
