Lindsay Lohan Tweets That She's Pregnant

Lindsay Lohan just won April Fool's Day. In what was either the least self aware tweet of all time or the most self aware tweet of all time (impossible to say), Lohan pranked the world by saying that she's pregnant.
Perez Hilton reports that it went up late last night. It was short, simple and to the point: "Its official. Pregnant..."
Blogs and news sites the world over picked up the news, anxious to have a mini-LiLo upon which to dump their judgment for the next 20 years (posts galore!). But unfortunately, Lohan took some of the ensuing mania to heart and deleted the tweet, then put up the following:
Good question, because no one, but no one, would cause the world to lose their collective shit by announcing a pregnancy as much as LiLo. It's the one thing that she could do at this point that would still truly shock her hate-followers.
And if she knows that and just put it in a tweet, that is well. Played.
