One of the major perks of being a celebrity is that you barely have to pay attention to yourself to learn about the major developments in your life. Online gossip does all that for you. 

That's how Jessica Biel discovered her latest pregnancy -- definitely twins. Except, as she explains to Ellen Degeneres, she's not actually pregnant, despite the conclusions strangers have drawn from endless scrutiny of her body.

"I thought I was doing good with my yoga practices," she told Degeneres. "I thought I was in the gym. But no, I have a gut, apparently."

Biel jokes that she needed to double check with her husband, Justin Timberlake, just to make sure.

 “I heard that and I called Justin. I was like, ‘Are we? No. Oh, okay. Cool.'” A woman is definitely the last person who would know what's going on with her own body. 


Biel and Degeneres also talk about how great Timberlake is, of course. And the audience "awwws" when Biel discusses playing Timberlake's music for their son, Silas, when she was pregnant. This is The Ellen Degeneres Show, after all. 

Apart from Dad, one of Silas' favorite artists is Erykah Badu, so he already sounds like a cool kid.
