Aniston dashes pregnancy rumours with Christmas Martini

A Christmas Eve night out with best pal Courtney Cox has wrecked a U.S. news exclusive claiming Jennifer Aniston is pregnant.

The 'National Enquirer' report that Aniston, 38, is expecting, but her publicist has denied the rumour.

In a simple statement, he says: "She is not pregnant."

And the story seems to have fallen flat around Christmas - Us Weekly magazine reports Aniston was spotted drinking martinis at Maestro's in Beverly Hills with Cox and her husband David Arquette on 24 December, a week after the actress had her hair coloured by stylist Michael Canali.

Both drinking and hair dying are strict no-nos for expectant mums.
