Jenny Pulls Pregnant Prank on Jim

"And by the way, Jim, Jenny wanted me to tell you — she's pregnant."

It happened when Chelsea mentioned she had spent the morning with Jenny (they work on a very cute 'Web only' sitcom together called "In The Motherhood") and wanted to give a shout out to an organization that both she and Jim are heavily involved with, generationrescue.org. 

Anyone who knows Chelsea's irreverent humor would have known she was joking. Her sarcastic tone was evident. Yet, that didn't stop bloggers from picking it up and shouting from the rooftops that McCarthy was pregnant. 


Granted, I know Chelsea's sense of humor, as I have been a panel guest on her show several times, so I got it right away -- but really -- what person on the planet would allow their friend to make an announcement like that to their boyfriend before he knew on national TV? Come on people. My mom always tells me "think before you speak." I'm going to start telling people, "think before you blog."

From the sound of it, this whole thing was Jenny's idea.

Chelsea told me today, "Jenny wanted to play a joke on Jim. She's not really pregnant, but hopefully, I am."

Hey, girl. I say any publicity is good publicity so keep making stuff up!
