Jodie Foster fuels pregnancy rumours in clinging sundress

Wearing a clinging purple sundress, Jodie Foster looks larger than her usual slim self, sparking rumours the Hollywood star could be pregnant.

Foster, who split with her lesbian lover Cydney Bernard in May, betrayed a bit of a bump as she left a Los Angeles grocery store this weekend.

Carrying shopping bags, the Silence of the Lambs actress sported a natural look and wore no make-up.

Some close friends reported the late gay film director Randy Stone, who died of heart failure last February, was the test-tube father of Kit and Charlie.

But with fiercely private Foster staying mum, it is still unclear how she has conceived this time round if the pregnancy rumours are to be believed.
