What's that? Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins? Well, broody, biological clock-watching Jennifer Aniston won't be outdone and according to reports is trying to conceive with her on-off partner John Mayer. But one child is not enough for the shovel-chinned actress and she may be actually trying to conceive twins naturally.

Not that she's actually undergoing fertility treatment you see (the epidemic of twin births in Hollywood - all supposedly natural- doesn't quite fit in with the statistics that only 3% of natural pregnancies result in twins, the rest involving pyrex dishes and turkey basters).

 

No, Jennifer is honestly trying to conceive twins without medication. Well, western medication anyway according to Star magazine (who are increasingly beginning to sound like the Daily Sport on acid). The magazine found a 'friend' (a remarkably quotable one) who said that Aniston and Mayer are performing lots of yoga poses which presumably buck up the attitudes of eggs and sperm, and adapting diets.

 

"Jen has also changed her diet. She's taking a lot of folic acid and has upped her intake of milk and beef — all of which are supposed to increase your chances of having twins. She's even eating cassava root, a wild yam, because women in Africa who consume it have the highest rate of conceived twins. "

 

Ah, the old milk and beef binge to improve the chances of twins! And mountains of tasty cassava root - let's hope her breath isn't so greasy that John can't go near her. What's wrong with shagging like rabbits all of a sudden? After all Jennifer, it seems to work for Brad and Angelina.
