Report: Beyonce Knowles Pregnant


UPDATE: Tina Knowles tells Ellen DeGeneres the rumor isn't true.

Could Beyonce Knowles be on way to having her own "Baby Boy"?

According to several reports, the 29-year-old singer is expecting her first child with rapper Jay-Z. The two have been married sine April 2008.

"B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet," an insider told Us Weekly. "She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again." Despite the surprise, another source claims the performer recognizes that "this is a gift from God and she's so happy."

Earlier this month, Beyonce -- who is supposedly in her first trimester -- made an appearance with Tina Knowles (her fashion designer mother) on the Today show. Check out the clip above and see if you notice anything different about her. Is that "glow" really about her mom?

Kanye’s all-star album line-up for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

M.I.A, La Roux and Alicia Keys, among others, are set to appear on Kanye West’s new album. The ‘Runaway’ rapper announced his fifth album will be called ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ earlier this week, and while Kanye has previously confirmed certain stars will appear - including Jay-Z, RZA and Beyonce Knowles - it seems his guest list is much longer than previously thought. As well as those previously mentioned, Kanye said he’s also been in the studio with Kid Cudi, Mos Def and Santigold and that indie musician Justin Vernon is “all over” the album.

One track which has already been leaked, ‘Lost In The World’, features Justin’s vocals. Kanye’s celebrity album cast could be part of his striving to fill the gap left by ‘King Of Pop’ Michael Jackson’s sudden death last year, a role he sees himself in line to fulfill. He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “With the passing of Michael Jackson, I feel a responsibility to bring things to our generation that can inspire and bring real culture to pop culture. I don’t sleep anymore thinking how we are going to fill this gap, and create something to inspire on the level he did.”

Although Kanye has mentioned a large number of people involved with ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’, he lines are blurred between which artists will appear on the commercially released album and who will appear in his G.O.O.D Fridays series, which has so far seen mainly extended and remixed versions of tracks from the albums featuring a number of rappers and producers. ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ will be released on November 22.

Beyonce Escapes Car Crash

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,

Beyonce at a London festival narrowly escaped serious injury after her car door was ripped off by a taxi in London.

The “Halo” singer opened the door of her Mercedes after deciding to pop into top store Harrods en route to a restaurant in the UK capital’s Knightsbridge area. Shoppers looked on in horror as the taxi collided with the car’s door, ripping it off its hinges and missing Beyonce by just a matter of centimetres.

The pop star, who was traveling with her husband , looked visibly shaken after the incident.

“It was terrifying to watch. It all happened so quickly, the taxi came out of nowhere. She seemed very shaken and was lucky to be alive. A couple of seconds difference and God knows what could have happened,” a source told The Sun.

Beyonce, 28, and Jay-Z, 40, were on their way to a romantic meal at Japanese eatery Zuma when the singer decided to make her impromptu stop. After the accident, the couple were forced to dump the damaged car - and were sent a replacement to take them to the restaurant. She was later seen looking happy and relaxed after leaving Zuma with Jay-Z.


Solange Knowles Not Working For Beyonce on Dereon

DereonAlthough she adores shoes, Solange Knowles isn’t impressed with sister Beyonce’s junior clothing line.

The 24-year-old singer was the face of fashion line Dereon, which “Single Ladies” hitmaker and her mother Tina launched in 2006, but stepped down because the outfits are something she wouldn’t normally wear.

“I initially was involved as the spokesperson, but the clothes just didn’t reflect my personal style and I decided to hand that over.”

Despite not being a fan of Beyonce’s fashion line, the mother-of-one loves the bedding collection she and Tina have done and would like to promote that: “That’s the great thing about my family. We work together so closely that if something’s not working out, we can be honest about it and there won’t be any grudges or issues. I will say though, they did just do a bedding line that I am extremely in love with and I was like, ‘Can I model that… in my house?”

Although Solange wouldn’t wear the clothes, the fashion line is very successful and Beyonce’s debut scent Heat has been a huge hit.

While I am truly a fan of , I am apparently not worthy “Gleek” status. In order to earn such a title, I probably should have been aware of this particular factoid by now.

In order to spare other supposed Gleeks of any possible embarrassment, I share with you the little gem I learned today.

Before her time on the series, scene stealer (a.k.a. Brittany) danced with none other than Beyonce. In fact, she was doing the “Single Ladies” dance long before she did it with Chris Colfer (Kurt) and Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) on the show.

After watching her perform with Ms. Knowles above, you can watch Morris in the Glee clip after the jump. You can also see her dance with some young girls as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
