BEYONCE IS PREGNANT.



After performing at the 2011 VMAs, Beyoncé Knowles unbuttoned her sparkly jacket and rubbed her belly -- announcing her pregnancy to the world. The camera then cut to Jay-Z and Kanye West in the audience and their over-the-top jubilant reaction.

Married to Jay for three years, the star has said time and time again that she planned on having a baby by the time she was 30; well, B turns 30 early next month.

The power couple tied the knot back in 2008 in a private ceremony at Jay-Z's New York apartment, and since then, there have been years of pregnancy rumors that they've shot down.

"I feel like a woman. I feel like I'm very aware of who I am. I feel great and I feel like 30 is the ideal age [to start a family], because you're mature enough to know who you are and to have your boundaries and your standards, and not be afraid, too polite -- but you're young enough to be a young woman," she said. "I'm so looking forward to it."
The singer added, "I always said I'd have a baby at 30. But I also said I'm going to retire at 30. ... Only God knows." 
In that same interview, Beyoncé talked about her husband. 
"Jay and I have kind of made a decision that we want to be known for our music and not our relationships or scandals. But he is amazing," she said. "I definitely had a very natural friendship and connection with him. We've been together for a very long time and I'm very happy. Love is the foundation of everything, everything I do. My music is inspired by love -- from my family, my husband, my sister."
No word on when the baby is due.

Kim Kardashian wedding was tacky & the Humphries family was “appalled”

Prepare yourselves. Gird your loins. This is the post for the twenty-million stories about Kim Kardashian’s wedding. I feared that today would be like this - all of the tabloids are coming out, and Kim’s wedding crap is featured on everything. Let’s just take a deep breath and knock this junk out quickly:
*People Magazine put Kim on the cover, obviously. I hate her headpiece, it’s so… “LOOK AT MY KATFACE.” The People story online is basically just trying to get you to buy the special wedding issue, but Kim tells the mag, “It was like we were in heaven.” Kris Humphries says: “I’m going to remember how perfect it was.” Kim says she felt like a princess in her Vera Wang gown. Meh.
*Kim borrowed $10 million worth of jewels from Lorainne Schwartz. It was mostly the headpiece.
*Us Weekly has a story asking if the wedding was “Fairy tale or fake?” The wedding could end up earning $17 million, and everything was overblown and tacky. One guest says, “There were rhinestones up the wazoo! It was 100 percent Kardashian.” There were “200-plus staffers and plenty of TV cameras documenting the whole thing for an October TV special on E!.” Another guest says, “It’s so hard to take it all seriously. Everybody felt awkward, like it was all for the cameras and more like a TV show than a wedding.” And apparently the Kardashians were telling everyone, “This is our version of the royal wedding!” FYI: The groom’s family “mostly looked appalled by the entire thing,” but they “cheered when Kim and Kris were pronounced husband and wife.”
*Kris Humphries’s teammates call him “Kate Middleton”. Because he “just married into royalty.” Eyeroll.
*You know how millions of dollars were spent on the wedding? None of it went towards getting the Humphries family to California. They paid for their own economy class tickets.
*I don’t know what’s happening with the honeymoon. For a while, Kim said they weren’t doing one until next year, but apparently they flew to Naples, Italy and are there now.
Here are Mr. and Mrs. Humphries yesterday at JFK:



Jennifer Lopez’s green gown: unfortunate, fug or just unflattering?

These are some more photos of Jennifer Lopez on her seemingly endless music video shoot for “Papi”. We’ve already covered the culottes (The Fug Girls called them culottes too, btw), and the leather pants (too much). Today’s ensemble revolves around a green dress with unfortunate slits. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I like Jennifer Lopez’s legs. More than that, I like her figure in it’s entirety. I wish she didn’t wear such dated, revealing styles, but I still appreciate Jennifer for truly being a curvy woman, and for not trying to mask those curves. She has a crazy ass, and lovely thick thighs, and dancer’s calves. I wish she would wear clothes that flatter those lovely legs, something sexy AND age-appropriate, something that didn’t make her look like she was clinging to a 25-year-old image of herself.


So, are we going to talk about the Spanx/underwear/thigh situation? Look, it’s a bad angle, it’s a bad dress, and I don’t even think these are Spanx, right? She’s just wearing, like, normal granny panties. Other sites are calling them Spanx, though, so I have no idea. Whatever is happening, it’s happening because it’s a bad dress and Jennifer should known better. Do not go off about J.Lo’s thighs. The thighs are fine.
