A close friend claims the reason Jennifer Lopez bailed out of the movie "Dallas" is because she is, in fact, pregnant. Former "American Idol" star Jess McCartney let the news slip during an interview with Atlanta radio station, Star 94 on Thursday.

When McCartney was asked why Jennifer had pulled out of her new movie "Dallas" he responded, "She didn't get fired. She's pregnant."

As soon as he realized what he said, the 19-year-old turned to his personal assistant and asked, "Was I not supposed to say anything?"

J.Lo-who is married to singer Marc Anthony-recently admitted she is desperate to start a family and had started eating spinach to make her more fertile.

On her doctor's recommendations, the Latin star has allegedly been eating the leafy vegetable three times a day to boost her intake of folic acid and increase her chances of conception.

She said, "Since my doctor recommended it, I've been on spinach omelettes for breakfast, spinach salad for lunch and sautéed spinach with every dinner. I guess if the spinach doesn't help me conceive, I'll still end up with Popeye-sized muscles."
