Brad Pitt gave a lot of interviews during the promotion of his last release, Troy.

He also suggested that he and wife Jennifer Aniston are planning to start a family soon.

Hardly surprising now that Hollywood is abuzz with rumours of the former Friends star being pregnant. It all began after a news item in MSNBC reported an announcement might come out later this month.

Well, the latest is that Aniston's publicist has soundly denied the rumour, according to People magazine.
