In August Beyoncé flaunted her brand new baby bump on the VMA awards and I was nothing but thrilled for her. Due to her constant comments* about fear of childbirth I assumed she would never have a child. As an avid daily reader of celebrity news I started to notice along with everyone else that her pregnant stomach was fluctuating from day to day.
Is it any of my business? Of course not but finding out that someone’s husband allegedly hired a surrogate and Beyoncé is allegedly wearing a prosthetic piece for 9 months is mind boggling news. Surrogates seem to be all the rage now and I would love to leave her uterus alone but there are a lot of questions out there now that need some sort of answer. Or do they?
Adding to the credibility is a video from an Australian entertainment show last week where her stomach seems to drop and fold up. Then Huffington Post had an article yesterday claiming Beyoncé (who is due in February) or the surrogate had the baby this weekend. Why did her people give Katie Couric strict instructions that Couric could not touch Beyoncé’s stomach? When Couric attempted Beyoncé quickly pushed her hand away and Katie had to apologize as she had breached the rules handed down by Beyoncé’s people.
Some say you cannot fake nose spread** during a pregnancy but what about those six inch heels she still wears? Even Victoria Beckham who is known for wearing nothing but high heels, stopped wearing them when she got further along in her pregnancy. I wore heels once during pregnancy and slipped and fell at the local 7-11. It is a known fact that pregnancy throws you off balance, let alone wearing stilettos.
Of course the tabloids have had Jennifer Aniston pregnant with twins for two years but this news seems to be coming from credible sources. A close acquaintance had the following to say in an article on Huffington Post:
“So sorry to break this news, but she is not carrying a baby, they have a surrogate. In the last 2 months she started taking prednisone to add additional weight to her face to give the appearance of being pregnant. Anyone who has ever taken this drug knows that it blows you up.
Why would she go through all this? It's Hollywood; she doesn't want to "ruin" her body and stands to make a mint "losing" the faux baby weight. The surrogate popped early so that is why there was so much speculation in the news and on Twitter this weekend.”
Frankly I will not believe a thing until the great Harvey Levin from TMZ makes an official announcement on the web. Another tell-tale sign would be if the baby comes out the womb fully clothed, drops to the floor, and performs a 60 minute set of the mother's and fathers greatest hits.
Does it matter, or should it matter? One real thing is that their new daughter is going to be the luckiest kid in the world with great parents and will definitely be Destiny’s Child.

**Nose spread: Your nose can spread due to the hormones that "soften" your cartilage and all of the increase blood flow during pregnancy.
