Is Beyoncé really pregnant?
Is Beyoncé really pregnant?_ Beyoncé is on the new cover of Harper's Bazaar next to the headline "Sexy & Pregnant." Only she doesn't look pregnant at all since photographer Terry Richardson took the photos way back in July. But that hasn't stopped the internet from speculating that Beyoncé's pregnancy is one big publicity stunt. Let's review the evidence:
August 28: The singer debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards. She wore an orange caftan and clutched her tummy, while also rubbing her belly onstage during a performance while singing "I want you to feel the love growing inside of me" to clarify.
September 6: Beyoncé shows off her growing bump in a white ruffled bikini while on vacation in Croatia.
September 13: Beyoncé causes a stir at New York Fashion Week for her first public appearance since the unveiling. Everyone is buzzing about Babyoncé. But when she stopped by Tory Burch's flagship store opening later that night, she wore a dress with sexy waist cutouts and no bump in sight!
September 21: Beyoncé hits up her fragrance launch in a teeny tiny sequin dress and jacket, but it's hard to see what's lurking underneath.
October 9: Beyoncé makes a guest appearance onAustralian TV show Sunday Night HD looking bigger than expected. Check out the video below (right before the one minute mark) of what looks like a prosthetic baby bump folding and/or deflating as B takes her seat for the interview. It may just be the fabric, but either way, the internet went wild.
Bloggers have noted that given Beyoncé's due date of February 2012, her face is not full enough for a women who is five months into her pregnancy. There are also rumors that a surrogate is carrying the baby for her. But Beyoncé's rep is shooting down all speculation and the superstar is even launching a maternity line. Since she doesn't discuss her private life too much, but she shared a few tidbits with Harper's Bazaar. Here's what she said about the big bump reveal at the MTV VMAs:
"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself...I didn't want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news, so I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything."
We have to say, we loved that and were so excited to see how happy and proud her and Jay-Z looked at the award show, so we're really hoping the pregnancy is legit. And while Beyoncé may be enhancing her new curves with some extra padding, she insists she loves dressing a pregnant body and wants to help other women do it too. "All I see now are clothes that are flattering on a pregnant woman," she told Bazaar. "It's been so exciting for me! I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy while pregnant. Flowy fabrics are always flattering, but I still rock my stilettos."
We know Beyoncé would be the fiercest pregnant mama around, and if she says she's carrying a child then we believe her. In our eyes, Beyoncé isn't especially media hungry, has been a private person throughout her whole 10 year relationship with Jay-Z, and she's still at the top of her game. We don't know why she'd lie about one of the happiest moments of her life.
Do you think Beyonce is faking her pregnancy? Is her maternity line a great idea you'll buy into, or is it all part of a big publicity stunt?
