She's known as one of Hollywood's most glamorous and statuesque stars, but Uma Thurman certainly let her guard down during a luxury cruise in Corsica. The actress caught onlookers by surprise as she revealed a rather pronounced tummy while frolicking aboard a yacht in a skimpy bikini with her new fiancé Arpad 'Arki' Busson this week. While her expanded waistline is quite likely the result of a little lunch-time indulgence, there's no doubt it will set off whispers of a pregnancy for the 38-year-old.
