Mother to be, or not to be? Photos of Katie Holmes shopping in New York last week fuelled speculation that she is pregnant
When photos emerged of Katie Holmes sporting a noticeably rounder stomach during a shopping trip last week, many publication rushed to report that she was pregnant.
One US magazine even printed a front-page story claiming the actress had confirmed: 'Yes, I'm pregnant!'
But her spokesperson has denied the claims, and rather than simply putting Katie's appearance down to a big lunch, she says she thinks these pictures have been photoshopped.

'She's not pregnant and this photo looks doctored,' Ina Treciokas told E! News on Monday.
The 32-year-old's slightly protruding belly was obvious beneath her tight-fitting top and jeans as she browsed the shoe department of Barney's New York in Beverly Hills.
Mail Online has spoken to the picture agency Xposure who confirm that the pictures were not altered in any way.
'We never doctor pictures to make anyone look fat, thin, pregnant, and so on. We have not doctored these pictures,' Xposure's David Taylor says.
