Jennifer Aniston WILL BE Pregnant at 45 Next Year, Tabloid Alleges

Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant?
No. Not a chance.
But hey, why let that stop you if
you're In Touch and you want a
break from Kim Kardasian or
Kate Middleton coverage?
Exactly. Just go with it people.
The celebrity gossip magazine
claims that after YEARS of failed
relationships, her baby dreams
will FINALLY be realized ... next
year. Maybe.
According to this obviously
reliable source, Jen has begun
IVF treatments, and if all goes as
planned, she’ll be pregnant by
her 45th birthday February 11.
IF she's not already. IN TOUCH
WILL NOT RULE THAT OUT!
"She’s ready,” says an insider
close to Jen and fiancee Justin
Theroux, adding that she will be
“an amazing mom.” We have no
doubt she will ... but come on.
How many years will it take
before this story stops being
recycled? Between this and her
lack of weddings, we're almost
hitting Jen tabloid fatigue.
She even said this week that she
has no date set with Theroux,
though she already feels
married. Are kids in the future
for them? Maybe. Or not.

Justin Bieber Lil Twist on Chopping Block After Battery Allegation

Justin Bieber's manager Scooter
Braun is sick and tired of Lil Twist
bringing Bieber down -- in fact, he
wants Bieber to sever ties with the
rapper entirely once and for all ... but
Bieber is STILL fighting to keep him
around.As we reported, Twist has
been accused of battering some girl at
Bieber's Calabasas mansion Thursday
morning -- but it's only the latest
example of Twist's reckless
behavior ... a list that includes
smoking pot, driving like a lunatic,
and getting a DUI.Bieber has refused
to turn his back on Twist once already
-- but Scooter has had enough, telling
Bieber the battery allegations are the
last straw.We're told Scooter is
putting his foot down, insisting Twist
is nothing but a parasite sucking
Bieber dry -- and the singer needs to
drop him like a hot potato stat ...
before he does any more
damage.But stupidly, Bieber is still
sticking by his buddy -- in fact, we're
told he and Scooter had a blowout
fight on Thursday when Scooter said
Twist had to go.Which means Twist's
days are numbered -- because in a
fight between Scooter and Twist,
Bieber will almost certainly side with
his trusted manager. He'd be dumb
not to. Then again, dumb has kinda
been Bieber's M.O. recently.
