UPDATE: Jessica Simpson has confirmed her pregnancy on Twitter this week. She posted the announcement along with a picture of her creative Halloween costume - a pregnant mummy! It appears selling the pregnancy news was not in the cards for Simpson. Congratulations to the happy new mom! See the original post below.

If Jessica Simpson is not pregnant, I'll eat my hat. Although no announcement has been made, months of rumors have now culminated into what appears to be Jessica Simpson stepping out in maternity style. Her obvious baby bump can no longer be confused with a burrito baby at this time.

Reportedly, the singer-actress-fashion mogul is shopping the announcement to magazines, looking for a $500,000 payout. However, it looks like no announcement will be needed. Beyonce may have started a trend by just stepping out with her clearly visible baby bump instead of making a formal announcement. Is it possible that some things are too sacred to sell to the press? Perhaps, but this much is certain, she's already starting to show off some serious maternity style.

Why do you think Simpson is holding out on the announcement?
