I know, I know – ANOTHER post devoted to the Beyonce-Jay-Z baby. Bey-beh? BeyZus baby? As you know, Beyonce announced her pregnancy at the VMAs. Some say it was a stunt queen move, some just thought she was happy and cute. And there were some who thought Beyonce’s bump was padded, and that there is some kind of Bey-beh conspiracy afoot. In any case, there continues to be interesting news about Beyonce and Jay, and why not talk about it? So… Us Weekly claims that Beyonce is four months along, and Radar claims that her due date is February. Let me do the math! That makes some kind of sense. I think she’s probably JUST past three months, which means her due date is likely end of February. Us Weekly also had this nice piece on how Jay-Z is beyond thrilled:
No wonder they’re still crazy in love! Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards show was an unforgettable night for Jay-Z and wife Beyonce — who joyously confirmed her pregnancy onstage before a TV audience of millions. (Clutching her bump, the “Love on Top” singer announced that she was expecting just a couple hours before on the black carpet, with her rep confirming the news to Us as well; the Grammy winning superstar is about four months along, one source says.)
And backstage, the first-time parents-to-be were just as pumped up. With adjacent dressing rooms (Jay-Z, 41, shared his with pal and Watch the Throne partner Kanye West), “Jay was doting on her the whole time,” a witness tells Us Weekly.
And the rapper-mogul (real name: Shawn Carter) even cat-called his wife of three years!
Says the backstage source: “He yelled, ‘Mmm hmmm, Who’s that sexy lady walking down here?’ playing like he was flirting with her. It was so cute.”
The “Empire State of Mind” MC was also mindful of his love’s condition. “He was really taking care of her, asking her how she feels and helping her walk,” the source says. “It was so sweet to see him like that.”
Also taking care? Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles. “She was on top of EVERYTHING – getting Beyonce everything she needed… Between Jay and her mom, she was totally taken care of. Her mom was getting her everything she needed.”
The superstar couple’s famous friends got in on the baby joy, too.
“Kanye looked like the proud uncle!” adds the witness. And Beyonce’s “Telephone” duet partner Lady Gaga (dressed in male drag as “Jo Calderone) made frequent visits to the dressing room as well. “She kept coming over to rub Beyonce’s belly and say hello,” the witness explains, “And the security guards thought she was a guy at first and wouldn’t let her back! It was really funny.”

I’ve thought for a while that Jay was beyond ready to have a baby with Beyonce – he’s been talking about “baby-making” being his top priority for years now. Radar also reports that Beyonce and Jay are “hoping for a boy” because of Solange’s son Julez: “Of course having a little boy for Julez to play with would be ideal, so they have their fingers crossed… But both Beyonce and Jay are just so happy to be having a baby, they don’t care what it is!” I don’t understand? Do they think that Julez wouldn’t have fun playing a baby girl cousin, he would only have fun with a boy cousin? That reasoning makes no sense. That being said, I bet they are hoping for a boy, just because a boy could get away with Jay’s features, you know what I mean?

That bump looks further along than 3/4 months, I imagine 5 months plus but then I’m no pregnancy expert.
Aw, that’s sweet. No shade from me!
My best friend is also due in February, right around my birthday. Almost everyone was hoping for a boy. But, of course, we just found out she’s having a girl. We’re all thrilled just the same though and I’m sure if Jay and Bey end up with a girl, they will be too!
Hope it’s girl 🙂 and that they name Brooklyn carter
what happened to the Rumors of Jay’s love child with Shanelle Scott back in 07?
I think she looks farther along then just 3/4 months, more like 4/5 months, with that putting the due date the end of January/early February. Celebs leak stuff all the time that will put people off on when their due date is.
I hope they don’t pick a crazy name. (And yeah, if it’s a girl, let’s hope she takes after Beyonce in the looks dept.)
Oddly enough, I don’t mind her announcing at the VMAs, only because they kept it quiet to the point where she couldn’t hide it much longer.
I can understand wanting a boy if the baby comes out looking like Jay Z, but why exactly do people hope for a boy? Are girls inferior in their minds?
I JUST entered month four of my pregnancy, and I am due in mid-Feb. And my bump is about the same size as hers, so her being 4 months is totally probable. She is probably due mid-Feb.
Each pregnancy and each woman is different, though, so maybe she is five months. Time will tell.
How can she look so bloody glowing and beautiful!? When I was 3/4/5 months I was pea green, sweaty, and only ever found with head down the toilet, oh and weeping. Damn you Beyonce!
But surely girls run the world?
I wonder if Jay-Z Jr. be a crack dealer like his daddy, or a singer like Whitney Houston…
Hey, me, too! Maybe we will meet up at the hospital, Bey Bey! Her bump looks bigger than mine (and this is my second) but all women are different. My good friend just gave birth a week ago and she looked about five months pregnant (also her second) up until the day she gave birth. All women are different. There is no single standard for bump growth.
First she was close to 3 months now she’s 4 months??? Whatev!! How much u wanna bet this fake schedules her baby to be born on the 4th of whatever month just so they can continue there obsessiveness with the number 4??!! I’m so tired of seeing stories about this heifer all together but just this manipulated pregnancy alone is making me numb!! I refuse to be beyoncetized…I’m not wasting one more day on commenting on this devil worshipper…good or bad that’s what she wants ATTENTION!! She’s like a stray cat the more u feed them the more they hang outside your door meowing 4 more!! Yall can give it 2 her…I’m outty!!
Sorry to be snarky be i’m already tired of this vapid attention seeker – doesn’t she have a cd out of more pop drivel; well this at least changes the subject. Yes, yes, yes, i know pregnancy is a beautiful thing but this strikes me a just another check mark on her to do list in order to become a “legend.” Seems funny more people are talking about her pregnancy than her “music.”
That being said, I bet they are hoping for a boy, just because a boy could get away with Jay’s features, you know what I mean?
I know it’s bad form to comment on that… but if it’s a girl, she’ll likely wind up with the same misfortune Bruce Willis’ daughters have!
Some guys who have really strong features just don’t translate well on daughters!
The same thing can happen with boys — case in point Angelina Jolie’s brother James. He wound up with very feminine features, that look wondrously on his sister but for him, not so much…
Honeybunz, I bet you’re right and the kid will be born on the 4th of the month!
@jc – just because people might hope for a boy or a girl does not mean that they think the other gender is inferior. I have two boys and both times I had hoped for girls – doesn’t mean I love my boys any less – it’s just what I had been *hoping* for.
RE the ‘wanting a boy so her nephew can have a playmate’ its probably because he (the nephew) will have more fun doing boy things with another boy vs have a little girl. She may not be into doing boy things and that may bore the nephew. Either way, Im sure it will be fine.
I thought I was having a girl and once I found out I was having a boy I started preferring a boy, lol, just because I have an older sister and she was not that nice to me! So maybe boys are better as big brothers ,(thats what I would like to think) lol
And seriously? I had that bum at 12 weeks people! 5 months a long I was WAY BIGGER than that, sure some people care small but that is definitely NOT a 5 month pregnancy bump, especially giving in consideration how she performed and jumped around at the WMAs.
And she was dancing her ass off in Glastonbury. Whoa!
It’s a girl. She is unbelievably glowing. As for Jay-Z, I was very harsh at him lately but ever since I saw him not clapping to Chris Brown’s performance at the VMAs, I like him now. He’s gonna be a great dad.
Of course she wants a boy … they need an heir to their imaginary throne.
I’m due feb 4th and I’m 17 weeks pregnant.
Hope the baby doesn’t look like Jay.
Beyonce doesn’t do publicity stunts gotdamnit. So just stop with that mess Kaiser! She’s not wearing friggin preggo pads,or seeking more attention than she already gets or whatever else bull you wanna create. I think she did it at the VMA’s because she probably7 couldn’t and didn’t wanna hide it anymore cause it had popped. And confirmed it the only way she could..On STAGE! Rather than being stalked by the paps.
I doubt they are silly enough not to announce it to the world unless she is almost done with the first tri-mester. Most people know it is bad luck to ever announce it before 3 months. I say , just to go with the #4 theme, that she is 4 months pregnant. I was about that size at 4 months. It will be a girl for sure, I have a gut feeling.
Unless they already know, they should not say that in the press. If it’s a girl, she will find out later.
Apart from that, I like the baby-news, even though that’s usually most boring to me. Most interesting baby-news since Angie and Brad. Also, glad to see her wear clothes again. Bey used to be more classy than skanky Brit or Rihanna.
whoop dee shit. if there are two people i loathe less than jayz and this girl, i’ve yet to find them…
I like him, but I don’t like her at all. He’s a real talent and she’s a pop tart. I do believe it was tacky to reveal her pregnancy like that, but whatever. I really do wonder what drives her, though. It’s not like she has real talent or something to say. Talentless ambition does rule, I guess.
Ohhh this makes me want to share this link/picture… of what a child of Jay and Beyonce’s would look like…
http://ohellnawlblog.com/newohnblog/2011/08/28/dear-beyonce-please-be-preggy-with-a-boy/
Let’s journey to the centre of the wig (20 000 weaves under the sea). I see roots which are the same colour as her skin. Saint Atheist, she’s going to lactate Javex.
@jover: I think it’s simpler than that. Science once told me that every woman who has ever been pregnant is obsessed with talking about it to–no, at as many people as frequently as…I was going to say ‘as is appropriate’, but it’s far beyond that. Also, every time a mother says ‘placenta previa’, a skinny bitch’s engagement ring dies. A pregnant celebrity is a fortuitous means to an end because it provides a safe segue away from one person back to where the attention belongs. I call it ‘The ‘Well, Duh-Doi’ Explication’. Careful attention must be paid to the observance of this phenomenon, as if you are caught not paying rapt and adoring attention, you may find yourself midst a sea of ‘You must…’, ‘I’ll bet…’, ‘You probably…’, ‘Do you…?’, Well, then…’, ‘I feel sorry for you…’, ‘Jealousy and stuff…’, ‘Um, wow…’, ‘Who do you think you czar?’ etc. This is called ‘The ‘Alright, Alright, What The Hell?’ Exasperation’. If caught in a corner, grab your local nursing blanket and throw it into a pit of something organic. You’ll be safe before the lone survivor disassembles her breast pump.
I’m not a big fan of hers, but I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to dismiss her. It goes: I don’t like so-and-so because s/he isn’t talented, not ‘so-and-so is untalented because I don’t like him/her. This happens in other types or entertainment, but not to this extent. Maybe separating the work from the person is easier if that person isn’t constantly in our faces, but I hate Cameron Crowe films (the ones I’ve seen) like the fires of Hell and that’s been done without knowing much about him at all.
#27 — couldn’t agree more. tacky as all hell. but then, she’s really about memememememememememe than true talent.
it’s almost depressing to see what passes for talent these days — when it’s 90% spectacle. compare and contrast to any of the singers from the 50s/60s/70s when all that was necessary was a microphone (usually on a stand) and possibly a back-up band.
none of the pretaped/lights/fireworks/crotch-grabbing necessary.
I just want to be clear, I’m exaggerating to make a question be led to its conclusion in a blunt way for effect. I’m not trying to be rude or attack anything with disrespect or start up any theatrics for their own sake. I hate trolling, I hate, hate, hate it. Please don’t accuse me of that here, it wouldn’t be accurate. On we go:
What about opera? Even if you’re not a fan, can you dismiss Jessye Norman’s talent because she needs a whole orchestra to back her up? And can you sneer at her musicianship because it’s more *real* to sit and simper into a microphone in the dark? Alright, it exposes the musicianship but it’s just as easy to sound like crap next to a single piano or guitar, and whatever the following act does, its theatrics wouldn’t change that. Must all the backup dancers in the world get their affairs and mortal coil in order out of shame? Was everyone just inherently more talented then, or are we just remembering the good stuff? I brought up Jessye Norman already (who, I fear, does not write her own music), is it time to burn those records and forget them because pound for pound they don’t possess her virtuousity? Should we start apologizing to Beethoven ‘for everything’? What would it do? This is coming from someone who listens to snottiest music, but when we start denigrating everything in favour of the old thing almost before we’ve found a new thing that we have to hate, aren’t we saying, ‘this is what I permit you to like, this is who I allow to survive…no one because you’re not 1965, how DARE you?!?!’ Obviously, I’m being hyperbolic, life is just about one of the most unfair things around and the music industry’s no different, but not liking someone and therefore making it law that any skills that said may have must be dismissed doesn’t make sense to me. It’s the same for me with Christina Aguilera, I don’t care for her songs, voice, or the manner in which she sings, or any of the other things about her that put me off–but she’s not talentless. And honestly, it would have been an uphill battle in the first place because it’s not my kind of music. This is how I feel about Beyonce, hearing her marble mouth pronunciation makes me ill, as did her blessedly on hiatus whore-drobe. Her pettiness over Jennifer Hudson was deplorable and what’s gone on with her face and body to create a look that was once called ‘tragic mullata’ in a type of film once dominated by lovely departed Lena Horne is creepy, not new, depressing in its suggestion is a bad choice. But it’s her life and body and while I don’t enjoy the voice, why should I dismiss all of her talent hand over fist?
Yeah I’d HATE to have her lack of talent. And I’d HATE to look like her! Coz she’s so beastly and all. Pfft you haters are ridiculous and obviously deaf and blind. Maybe she’s not your fave singer but you can’t be so ignorant to think she can’t even sing! Head over to youtube and watch her rehearsal for American Idol then tell me she can’t sing! And good for her having a baby. She’s done everything right, she’s got the booming career, loving husband and a well established relationship. I wish I were so lucky to be the child of this power couple!
“That being said, I bet they are hoping for a boy, just because a boy could get away with Jay’s features, you know what I mean?”
When I read the title, my first thought was, ‘If it is going to look like Jay, then it NEEDS to be a boy.’
LOL. I felt bad for thinking it but ugly boys have it easier than ugly girls. #truth.com
I felt bad for thinking it but ugly boys have it easier than ugly girls.
Sad but true!
@Kaiser: As much as I agree with you about a little boy being more able to carry off Jay’s features, little boys are also quite lovely, believe it or not. What you see is what you get with them
And when it comes to the teen years, I know I would much rather have a boy than a girl lol.
@jover: I agree with you. I thought her pregnancy announcement was as tacky as hell. Very ‘me’ ‘me’ ‘me’. It was worse than Mooriah Carey. I just hope we don’t have to suffer through seeing any nude photo spreads of Beyonce 🙄 .
Hate to say it but if it’s a girl good chance it will be a masculine looking child. Between JayZ’s big features and Beyonce’s mustache…….
@ jc126: People generally prefer boys because, yes, boys are better at using their intellect and are logical, whereas girls are simply not. Also, boys can pass down the family last name and gene pool, whereas girls cannot.
I just hope it gets a whacked out name like Beyzus Jehovia Sasha Knowles Carter.
@C.Z – Lol, funny you should say that. I have 2 boys and 1 girl and my 1 daughter is much smarter and MUCH more mature than both my sons. Boys are sweet yes, but to me, my girl the smarter one. Oh and I don’t really care about the whole family name thing – one of my sons told me he is gay anyway and the other one says he doesn’t want children.
I feel sorry for those daughters that aren’t wanted by their parents.
@Kaiser, i do agree with you about whole the looks thing.
I like these two..saw Jay-Z opening for U2, and though he’s not the best looking guy around, he has charisma on stage. Beyonce DOES have talent, but I agree some of the videos she has made in the last few years have been very questionable and attention seeking. She looks great – when I was 4 months gone I looked and felt like crap. Comment #38 -are you a psychologist?..what a bunch of sweeping generalisations..I have one child, a girl, and I don’t know many boys who are better at using their intellect or who are more logical than her. Furthermore, I don’t care if she doesn’t carry on my family name as long as she marries someone nice. As far as I know girls can also pass down their ‘gene pool’ as they contribute some chromosomes to the foetus as well.
At the end of my child’s Kindergarten session today a little boy walked over to me and punched me..that’s why I’m glad I’ve got a girl.
My husband and I wanted a boy with my first. After my daughter was born my husband said, “I only thought I wanted a boy. What I really wanted was her.”
Still melts my heart. I wanted a boy because girls scare me!
@ fuefinawg: “Of course she wants a boy … they need an heir to their imaginary throne.”
hahaha! spot on!
“Also, boys can pass down the family last name and gene pool, whereas girls cannot.”
lmao you do know what Jay-Z took beyonce’s last name.
@Bellaray: What TALENT are we all supposed to be so envious of? Her music SUCKS!!! Never have I heard such contrived, boring crap in my life. If this were a few decades ago, she would have been a blip on the radar, if that. Its only because pop music today is so devoid of any real talent, that marginal crap like she spews out gets so much undeserved praise.
Great voice? Yes. Beautiful? Of course. But the music blows, so stop acting like she’s the second coming of Diana Ross.
Oh yeah. And sorry, but did she really need to ‘come out’ about her pregnancy? That was a publicity stunt if ever there was one.
Sign on str8shooter; without videos where would most of today’s pop “stars” be?
She’s wearing a fake tummy!!!!
