It's Monday. The rent's due tomorrow, and you did not catch up on your sleep this weekend. You're trying not to do that catching up while in your cubicle. How about this to liven up your end-of-the day: A Miley Cyrus pregnancy rumor! Awww yeah!
Here's how things went down:
This morning, Miley Tweeted:
waking up to the news that I'm now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby

So where did that come from? It was the work of CreamBmpDaily, who posted "**BREAKING** MILEY CYRUS ANNOUNCES PREGNANCY BY RAPPER JUICY J ON STAGE AT BET HIP HOP AWARDS…" (all embellishments theirs). The awards were taped this weekend in Atlanta, and according to the site, this is what was said:
“I assure you she’s been doing a lot more than twerking” said Juicy J before Miley Cyrus blurted out that her and the “Bandz a Make Her Dance” rapper were expecting.
And the interwebz went wild!
Is Miley Cyrus pregnant with Juicy J's child? #SoTrue or #SoFalse: We've got the answer tonight on E! News!

Now, while Ms. Cyrus hasn't said it's NOT true, she is taking it all as a big joke. Which means others have been having fun with it, too:
"So the rumors are true: Miley Cyrus is pregnant... with the best album of her career!" #HELLYEAH

Mind you, there is real news to report:
who cares if Miley Cyrus is pregnant? doesn't anyone care that a partial government shutdown is about to happen.......?

So congrats, Miley, on your pregnancy...rumor. It's been fun. And, for the future, please don't attempt to use twerking as a birthing method. Ouch.
