After Nicole Richie dismissed pregnancy rumours earlier this week when pics showed her looking more curvy than usual, Scarlett Johansson has found herself in the same position.

The pictures of the Iron Man actress jogging with new man Sean Penn suggested a hint of a slightly rounded tummy under her running gear. Soon the internet was awash with rumours that the pair may be expecting a baby.
