People magazine unveiled their latest issue crowning Beyonce as the world’s most beautiful woman of 2012. Inside the publication, she takes on the rumors that her pregnancy was all faked!

Rumors had circulated for her entire pregnancy, stating that she and husband Jay-Z used a surrogate to have their new addition, Blue Ivy Carter.

Of the rumors, she said, “That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy. I thought, ‘Where did they come up with this?’”

Her mother Tina wasn’t especially happy with the surrogacy speculation, either. She said, “I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months. As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”

When speaking about an Australian interview where Beyonce was rumored to be sporting a fake baby bump, Beyonce said, “It was a fabric that folded – does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid.”

She added, “There was so much love and well wishes from all over the world – it made it easier to deal with the stupid rumors.”

Is R&B singer Beyonce Keeping Up With The Kardashians? She will be if momager Kris Jenner has her way!

Reportedly, Kris wants to convince Beyonce to make appearance on the E! reality show. Kris is keen on keeping Kim involved with Kanye West, but of course she wants to have that work to her benefit. Kris is in hopes of luring Kanye’s friends, Beyonce and Jay-Z on an upcoming episode of their show.

A source revealed, “One of the main reasons she so approves of Kim and Kanye’s romance is the fact that Kanye has tons of celebrity friends. Kris has her way and it wouldn’t surprise me if the cameras captured Kim and Kanye on a double date with Beyonce and Jay-Z.”

I highly doubt that Bey and Jay would allow themselves to be used like that just for the Kardashians to get ratings, but stranger things have happened. The source went on to say, “Kris is doing her best to convince Kanye to arrange the double date. Believe me, it’s hard to say no to Kris.”

It was said earlier this week that the Kardashian family netted a whopping $40 million for another three years of the show. The seventh season of the show starts on May 20th. This however, does not mean that we will be watching. Will you?

It was said that Beyonce and Jay-Z were offered roughly $14 million by a tabloid magazine (People?) to show off photos of the new daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Over the weekend, however, they bucked the photo selling rumors and posted the photos online — for all to see.

Beyonce’s stylist, June Ambrose, revealed at New York Fashion Week that it was the only way that Beyonce could think of and was adamant that they would not sell the pictures of their newborn daughter.

June revealed, “I couldn’t say a word. Bey really, really thought about this and she really wanted to do it this way. She just couldn’t imagine selling pictures of her baby. It just felt really good to see her do it under her terms. It doesn’t surprise me.”

She also talked about Blue Ivy herself, saying, “She’s definitely very alert, you can see from the photos, you feel like she’s been here before….she’s always in a loving environment, and you can see that she’s born into greatness. I think that’s what those photos really say. She’s a good baby!”

June added, “A girl with big full lips, she’ll be a supermodel, I can’t wait! And her eyes — she’s gorgeous!”

She is an adorable baby!

Even though it was rumored that new parents Beyonce and Jay-Z would sell the first photos of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, the two have done just the opposite. They’ve released a set of photos of little Blue on a Tumblr account and have made them free to the public.

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012 at Lenox Hill Hospital in an ultra swank room that was refurbished just for the Carter family and their new addition. These photos were taken while Beyonce and Jay-Z were still in the birthing suite.

Isn’t Blue just so adorable? Do you still think that she faked her entire pregnancy? There are rumors still floating around that none of it was real. What do you think?

Congratulations to the happy couple on their new addition, she’s a gorgeous baby.

Check out the rest of the photos below:

Last week, we learned that Simon Cowell really cleaned house on The X Factor USA. He fired host Steve Jones and fellow judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, leaving himself and L.A. Reid to judge the singing competition.

It was quite the shocking dismissal when he handed all three of them their walking papers, but he wants to make it up to us by hiring Beyonce. Reportedly the mogul has offered Beyonce a cool $100 million to judge the second season of the show.

According to a source, “He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah is good, but she’s not that hot today. He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat American Idol.”

Truthfully, we don’t care who he hires for the job, as long as it’s not Perez Hilton. He has officially started his campaign to become a judge on the show, but rest assured, we would be tuning out if he landed it. Would you watch if Perez Hilton was judging? Or would you prefer to see Beyonce on the show?

We haven’t really heard much from Beyonce and Jay-Z since the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, but a source has revealed that their precious bundle of joy is already spoiled. And by spoiled, we mean that she’s got non-stop nanny care, a diaper change every hour and a pink sapphire encrusted bottle.

Reportedly, the tot has two nannies on call at all times, which totals six — around the clock. A source said, “Beyonce wanted to make sure that her daughter has the best of care. Her diaper is changed every hour.”

Jay-Z is also pouring on the attention to their new addition, in the way of purchasing bling for her. The source said, “Jay-Z bought her diamond earrings and a platinum baby bracelet. Even her bottle has pink sapphires on it.”

It seems like a lot of stuff to get for a baby, but they’ve got the money….So, more power to them! What do you think?

When Beyonce gave birth to her and Jay-Z’s first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, we were sure that People magazine would have hopped all over that deal.

They’ve shelled out the big bucks for baby photos before, so why should Bey and Jay’s offspring be any different? They were the first magazine to show off Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins, Knox and Vivienne. In addition, several high profile celebrities have also sold the first pictures of their new babies.

Jessica Alba would know all about selling off her first daughter, Honor’s baby photos. She had a deal with OK! magazine for the first pics that scored her a whopping $1.5 million. Now, it’s being rumored that the first pictures of Blue Ivy could net the Carters a cool $14 million!

Jessica said, “For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It’s her picture, it’s her birth, and we didn’t want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time.”

She went on to say, “If there’s a price tag on your child – which is so bizarre – people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria.”

On the topic of Beyonce’s new addition, she added, “To each his own. The biggest thing is having a healthy baby. I’m sure Beyonce will make the best decision for her family.”

Now that Beyonce has given birth to her and Jay-Z’s first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, we’re left wondering who is going to snatch up the first photos of their new addition?

People magazine is likely to stage the first photo shoot of the daughter of the R&B singer and rapper.

It was said that Bey and Jay paid $1.3 million to seal off the maternity wing over at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York so that they could bring their baby into the world. Reportedly, staffers were made to sign confidentiality agreements, along with turning in all types of recording devices (cell phones) at the beginning of their shifts.

So it only stands to reason that either they really just wanted some quality alone time as a family — or they are getting a huge payday from a magazine for the first shots of them all together as a family.

It wouldn’t surprise us to hear that People is publishing the first pictures of the baby here in the States, while Hello! magazine gets them for the U.K. What do you think?

We shall see when the new magazine covers come out tomorrow! It’s not too soon to show off their newborn baby, is it? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts and let’s all hope that their baby bares a striking resemblance to Beyonce! Ha.

Keep refreshing and we’ll have pictures of baby Blue when they are made available!

Thanks Anita!

Update: We’ve heard from our sister site that Beyonce and the baby have left the hospital! Let’s hope someone grabs pics!

After announcing that she was pregnant with her and Jay-Z’s first child, Beyonce has given birth!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

NY Daily News reports:

A very pregnant Beyonce checked into the upper East Side hospital Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” a hospital staffer told the Daily News.

Beyonce and her hip-hop hubby, Jay-Z, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million, the employee said.

In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, the source said.

Several security guards were spotted patrolling the outside of the hospital Saturday night.

A Lenox Hill staffer confirmed that a patient named Ingrid Jackson was in a “labor room.”

Congratulations on their bundle of joy. We have to wonder what they named their daughter! Any guesses? Jayonce? Destiny, maybe?

What do you think? Sound off in the comments and we will keep you updated when the news comes out, along with photos of their precious addition. Stay tuned!

Update: Rihanna has just tweeted her congratulations to the happy couple, saying, “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih”.

Update #2: Ken Baker at E-Online just tweeted, “Beyonce just had her baby girl. Im told name is Ivy Blue.”

Update #3: We’re hearing that they’ve actually named her Blue Ivy. Stay tuned for the official confirmation!

Beyonce shocked everyone by announcing that she is pregnant at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in August. Since, she’s been plagued by rumors that her growing baby bump is fake!

In October, the songstress gave an interview on an Australian show where it appeared that her growing belly seemed to fold over, thus prompting speculation that she was wearing a fake bump.

She called the stories “ridiculous”, but is now addressing the fake bump rumors. During a new interview with Katie Couric for 20/20, she talked about her response to all of the reports.

Beyonce said, “You know there are certain things that are so far, it doesn’t even affect me. I am cool, it is so ridiculous and over the top.”

She went on to reveal that her mother, Tina Knowles, was even more upset about the rumors than she was. She said, “She’s like ‘No one is going to talk about my gran-baby.’ I was like ‘Calm down Mom, it’s okay.’”

She also discussed about how she felt after the big reveal on the red carpet at the awards show. She added, “I felt so liberated and I could breathe and be happy. I went straight off the stage, I hugged Jay and I hugged my mom.”

I wonder what they’re having!

In August, songstress Beyonce stole the show on the red carpet at the 2011 Video Music Awards by announcing that she’s pregnant by hubby, Jay-Z. Afterward, it was revealed that Beyonce couldn’t wait to tell the whole world about her happy baby news. Now, she’s talking about the type of father Jay-Z is going to be.

She revealed, “Of course he will be a good father. His music has inspired millions of people over the last two decades, but he inspires the people around him on a more personal level too. He’s an inspirational artist, friend and husband and his next step is to be an inspirational father. He’s everything you could ask for in a husband and friend.”

How sweet! You can really tell that they’re totally in love, can’t you?

In a recent interview with Closer magazine, she said, “It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do or where you are from, your marriage will [work if] you both put effort into it and make sacrifices. Before you’re married, you can be selfish because you have nobody to answer to, but when you’re both married you both find things have to change.”

She added, “Marriage is great because, if it’s managed in the right way, it will make you a more complete person. It forces you to change the things you need to change about yourself and that can only be a good thing.”

Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson had a photo snapped of himself along with the queen of R&B, Beyonce! He posted the photos on his official website.

Afterward, he posted a photo of Beyonce as him, wearing his glasses and making a silly face:

The second picture is our favorite, she looks so cute!

Last night, Beyonce shocked the world by revealing that she’s pregnant on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. According to a friend of hers, she literally could not wait to pass on the happy news!

It was surely unexpected, considering that she’s been looking really great lately and not showing any signs of pregnancy — until last night. She wore a pretty red dress and held her belly as she made the announcement. Did she hijack the awards show?!?

An inside snitch said, “She’s close to three months along. She wasn’t going to announce it but she is so excited she couldn’t hold it in.”

There has been some speculation for a little while now, but her rep has confirmed the news. The insider went on to reveal, “Jay is ecstatic and over the moon. He really wanted this so badly.”

Awww…they are so cute, happy and in love — can you tell?

The friend of the couple said, “They barely told anyone…They kept it really secret until they were sure…and now she simply couldn’t wait to tell the world!”

The source added, “They will have to make adjustments, but this is worth it!”

Congratulations to them!

Congratulations are in order!

Songstress Beyonce hijacked the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight by making the announcement that she is pregnant by her husband Jay-Z!

There have been many rumors and speculation surrounding Beyonce and whether or not she’s pregnant…so this is just one big, huge confirmation of what we all suspected.

This will be their first child together. Beyonce also showed off her growing baby bump on the red carpet. She looks super cute and we’re sure that she will make a great mother. Congratulations to the happy couple!

We can’t wait to hear what the haters and trolls are going to say about this…. But we have to ask two things….What will they name the baby? And will they have their son or daughter in the entertainment business?

What do you think?

Tonight on American Idol, we’re down to the top three! Viewers will have to decide between Scotty McCreery, Haley Reinhart and Lauren Alania. Idol favorite James Durbin was ousted on last week’s show in a shocking elimination. Read our full recap here.

Beyonce is premiering her new video, Run The World (Girls) video on the show tonight and she is also mentoring the contestants during tonight’s show.

Round One

Scotty is singing his favorite song first, which is Lonestar’s Amazed. Beyonce called him a “cutie pie” and said, “That’s m,y boy!” He is doing a great job and we’re sure someone is going to tell him that he’s “in it to win it”. Randy? J-Lo? He is definitely going to be the one to beat this season.

Steven said that Scotty got angry and kicked the song into next week and took the song up a notch. Jennifer said he has grown since the beginning of the season. She said it was a great way to start the show. Randy said it was a great song choice and it’s an amazing song. He said there were a couple of pitchy spots and commented “That’s money.” (continue reading…)

In Britney Spears‘ new video for Hold It Against Me, it contains a lot of product placements. There’s Sony, Make Up For Ever, Radiance perfume by Britney — and of course, Plenty Of Fish.

The above pictured advertisement takes place at 1:39 in the video. Now, we’ve learned that Britney scored the big bucks for that little laptop snippet showing the famous dating website. TMZ has the scoop:

Sources connected to Britney’s video tell TMZ … Spears netted a cool $500,000 for various product placements in her “Hold It Against Me” video.

We’re told the dating site Plentyoffish.com, one of several companies featured in the vid, forked over “a couple hundred thousand” to feature their site on Brit’s computer during the vid and saw immediate results … a 20% spike in traffic the day after the video premiered.

Yes, there were a good amount of product placements in the new video, but is this really anything new??? For instance, when Lady Gaga came out with her Telephone video, featuring Beyonce. That had a metric ton of product placements. (Virgin Mobile anyone???)

So before people bash Britney too much, just remember that Gaga did it, as well. The photo above was screen captured from Telephone from the 4:26 mark.

I like them both, who’s with me?

MediaTakeOut started the rumor yesterday that Jay-Z and Beyonce have gotten separated!

Reportedly, the happy couple are taking a trial separation. A source for the website claimed that they had “been at odds for the last year” and have decided to go their separate ways.

Their source said, “For now, Jay-Z’s going to be staying in L.A. Beyonce will be in NY. The hope is that with the time apart, the couple will decide to either have kids, or go their separate ways.”

A spy close to the rapper says that the rumors are nothing but “BS”. And there you have it!

Did you believe that they would separate???

Beyonce pregnancy rumors were fluttering across the internet yesterday, suggesting the singer was pregnant with her first child with husband, Jay-Z.

Her mother, Tina Knowles, has denied the rumors, saying that they’re completely untrue. She said, “The truth is that it’s not Beyonce that’s pregnant. It’s me. I’m kidding y’all. I’m 56. No, no the reports are not true. Not right now. With all the rumors, by now I should have five or six grandchildren.”

This is true. There have been a ton of pregnancy rumors surrounding Beyonce since 2007. One day she’s going to get pregnant and no one’s going to believe it. We’ll all say, “Rumor #654,907 Beyonce is pregnant”.

I know we’ve heard the Beyonce pregnancy rumors 800,000 times already, but it has resurfaced!

According to Us Magazine, Bey is pregnant with her and Jay-Z’s first child. A source said, “B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn’t ready to be a mother just yet. She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again.”

Still, the source said that she realizes that “this is a gift from God and she’s so happy.”

I’ll believe it when we hear the official confirmation.

Earlier today, Beyonce stopped by the office of a fan who works in New York City. She took the time to pose with the fan, named Justin and he said she was super nice!

He tweeted, “Beyonce just walked in my office!!!!!!! I cannot believe I actually met and hugged Beyonce. She told me it was a pleasure to meet me. If that aint motivation…”

He also went on to say, “she is extremely nice and down to earth. Beautiful spirit!”

Nice!

Forbes magazine has revealed their list of the best paid celebrities under the age of thirty and we’ve got the top ten right here for you.

Taylor Swift obviously has a friend in rapper Eminem. After Kanye West stage-jacked her at the 2009 MTV VMAs, Eminem said that he should’ve shown more class.

If you’ll recall, Taylor took the mic to give a proper acceptance speech for her award for Best Female Video and said that Beyonce had the best video of all time. He was obviously drunk and acting like a complete fool. Taylor was left on stage with the mic and did not get to say her thanks. Later on in the awards show, Beyonce took the stage to accept an award and called Taylor out to the stage. Beyonce showed class, where Kanye had none.

Now, Eminem has taken a beef with Kanye, saying, “He shouldn’t have done that, man. I mean, she’s (Swift) a little girl.”

We agree. I’m just wondering what took him so long to come to her defense. It’s been months since that happened.
