Breaking: Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are Expecting (To Put Lawyers on Fox Gossip's Doorstep)!

Resident Fox gossipmonger Roger Friedman outdid himself this morning with the "news" that romantically linked Stop-Loss co-stars Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are "apparently having a child." You wouldn't know it now, of course, with Friedman's allegation deleted from his copy without any note or citation from his editors at Fox News. Thank goodness for the quick-thinking eagle-eyes at The Huffington Post, who nabbed a screengrab of the offending passage you can spy after the jump.

Yikes! This is quite a difference from the "Abbie Cornish (whom Phillippe is rumored to have romanced)" revision hastily implemented just after HuffPo's item broke. This is what always happens any time Friedman breaks from his beloved, played-out Michael Jackson beat, but hats off to him and the gang at Fox for keeping the class alive by pretending his lies, rumors and innuendo never existed. Though we can't say the same for either star's lawyers, we'll pretend — for the hundredth or so time — that we didn't see that.

Abbie must be very excited. After you have Ryan's baby, you are destined to become more famous than him and then win an Academy Award.

I dont know about whether or not shes knocked up, but she was amazing opposite the Ledger in that Candy flick about addicts. I know all the druggie movies seem to run together but she was truly outstanding I thought.

@Mokers: (two snaps)

She's derailing a promising career for this meathead. She needs to understand the Meg Ryan Principle: breaking up a marriage is not good for your career.

Has Kitson come up with Team Abby/Team Reese t-shirts yet?

Silly boy. Have Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke taught you nothing? You're supposed to sleep with the nanny, not the co-star.

Okay, so Robin Williams married and is getting divorced from the nanny, but still...

@Juancho: But...but...Russell Crowe went on to win an Oscar AND get nominated for another Oscar after breaking up Meg Ryan's marriage. And Ingrid Bergman went on to win TWO after the Rossellini affair.

@SteamyMcFirecrotch:

Wait, Robin Williams is getting divorced from Marcia? I did not know that--please dish!

@Colonel Mustard:

And what about Elizabeth Taylor? Didn't she win an Oscar after she broke up Eddie Fisher's marriage?

@Juancho: Can't she just adopt some third world babies and cancel out the negative effects?
