I still can’t get over Beyonce’s Givenchy gown at the Met Gala. It’s been days and I’m still thinking about this hideousness. How did the House of Givenchy allow Beyonce to walk out with this dress? Did they send it to her, all “Girl, this dress will look AMAZING on you”? Or did Beyonce make the call? Was she all “THIS is the dress, y’all, these feathers are going to steal the damn show!” I tend to believe Bey made the call and the Givenchy people were secretly horrified. Although… they designed this crap, not Beyonce. They should be ashamed of themselves. Anyway, while Beyonce was on the Met Gala carpet, she only granted one interview, to Entertainment Tonight. In the piece, Beyonce confirms that she wants more kids (pillows?):
Blue Ivy Carter may not be a “Single Lady” forever. At the Met Gala in New York City Monday, new mom Beyonce Knowles, 30, said she and husband Jay-Z, 42, have talked about expanding their brood. “I definitely want to have more,” Knowles told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t know how many. God knows. I don’t know yet.”
Just don’t expect a pregnancy announcement in the near future. “I don’t know about soon!” Knowles giggled.
The singer — who is currently rehearsing for a special three-night engagement over Memorial Day Weekend at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey — added that she has “such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.”
Knowles said she’s “been working really hard” to get her post-baby back. “There are no secrets. [It takes] discipline!”
She’s not kidding. The 16-time Grammy Award winner works out five days a week with trainer Marco Borges. “We do cardio and plyometric moves like lunges and jumps on and off a bench,” the pro recently told Us Weekly.
Knowles, who is 5-foot-9, avoids processed fare and sticks to whole foods like vegetables and grilled meats. “You don’t have to eat only celery sticks,” Borges advised. “Be sensible and exercise constantly.”
[From Us Weekly]
I giggled when Beyonce said “there are no secrets” to how she got her body back after the baby. Girl, keep trying to convince us. I love that she keeps trying. And don’t you love how the stories about her workouts keep changing? She says one thing to People Magazine, her trainer says another thing to Us Weekly, then Beyonce mentions to ET that she hasn’t been working out that much… except for “dancing, eight hours, nine hours a day.” Hahahaha. Wait, is she serious?

Discipline indeed – almost sounds like she’s implying if you don’t get it together as fast as she did, you’re not disciplined. Women with “discipline” who have less time to spare following a pregnancy (or want to allocate more time towards face time with baby) will get back in shape, too. Just slower.
Well it probably took discipline to wear a prosthetic belly for 5 months.
heh. You get big points for this one.
hahahaha
LMFAO! Comment of the day!
My thoughts exactly. SHAM PREGNANCY
Yeah, but I mean…I don’t think her body even looks good, so I’m not sure why she’s bragging. Are there honestly women who want her body?
I am not for the anorexic look, but I agree, her but and thighs look huge.
I think Bey has a thick curvaceous athletic frame that is lovely but for me, the delicate facial features, her slender long fingers are somewhat in opposition to her very athletic lower body.
It’s like her face alone would suggest her body to be leanier with slender legs…still curvy and hourglass lookinbg but a leanier version like Halle’s or Laura Patton.
she’s got a tiny head. My aunt is like that. And because she has a tiny head, people assume she has a tiny body. She usually disguises her tiny head with her huge weave. Elle Macpherson does the same thing.
She also suffers from having an exaggarated spoon shape. My sister has that. this is where your top half is maybe 1-2 sizes smaller than your bottom half. The bottom half being quite chunky. When you lose weight, your top half looks incredible but your bottom half though smaller, is still chunky.
If you look at DC videos back in the day, you can see that beyounce has the same figure ie small head, medium top half with bigger lower half. No amount of exercise will give her svelte lower half. At her thinnest when she did DREAM GIRLS, those legs were still chunky.
That said, she does work out a lot and has incredible muscle tone to them, kudos for that.
btw: – it says in te article she’s 5 9…….since when?? the lies, lies, lies continue unabated.
I’d definitely take her body! She is in great shape.
Her body is amazing! The way her waist is so tiny and then flows into her curvy hips is a gorgeous, feminine shape. She is toned, for sure.
Not everyone has the same beauty ideals, why the need to be so catty to other females?
I do think she looks good. Not skinny or anything, but nice and toned. I am sure my boyfriend and a lot of other guys would LOVE a woman with that butt, too.
She also strikes me as the type who has to constantly work out, and will gain weight if she so much looks at food.
Having a 24-hour nanny probably also helps. And a cook. And a personal trainer. And…
Co-sign. If I had Gunnar Peterson waking me up everyday, a personal chef and/or a diet delivery service, Kate Somerville as my personal facialist, a fantastic cosmetic dermatologist, a plastic surgeon,a cosmetic dentist to give me veneers, a personal stylist, fashion houses throwing clothes at me left and right, a maid(s), a house manager to oversee my homes, a business manager (so I never have to even pay my own bills), a private jet, multiple chauffeurs, a security team, nannies and a surrogate. Am I missing anything? I would look like Gisele and not be 5’6″ and overweight.
Nonsense. You get out of bed early yourself, you eat like a bird and all of it fresh and healthy, you use few cleansers on your face, take daily fresh air walks and drink lots of water and use the stairs…and you get the “Giselle” body–as I have–for FREE. It is not about money and in fact too much money (too many treatments) make you look worse.
Anna, I guess our point was that Beyonce’s post-baby-body (btw haha!) bases on the fact she has lots of people working for her. It’s not just discipline. We were not saying that you can’t get your body back without that, of course you can – when you eat healthy and do sports. It’s just that she doesn’t mention her privileges which many women don’t have, but claims it is super easy to loose weight like that.
oh, shut it Anna-Beyonce – so you’re naturally thin – don’t act superior
i would add “a shitload of money to pay people to take care of your baby while you work out” to “discipline”.
Yes, unless she clarified that you’d need a full staff to help out, it is pretty insulting. What nerve!
With each new interview, I’m ever more strongly on the “never pregnant” bench.
If I had the time to workout 5-8 hours a day I would have a killer body too. Even after the pregnancy.
And please bitch STFU
I’m no fashion expert but her hair and make-up clashes with her dress
OMG, I wish she would just SHUT THE F UP!!!!
Maybe she thinks if she keeps talking people will forget about pillowgate.
Mrs camel is so fucking tacky
Hmm. Well Bey, if the average mum had nannies, cooks and the rest, they could devote hours to their figures. Discipline my arse!
Agreed! So moms that don’t have everyday to workout aren’t disciplined? I was lucky (and still lucky) just to get a shower everyday….this comes from a mom of two little ones and I work.
Yes, exactly! Trying to fit in a quick shower while taking care of a newborn is beyond challenging, let alone trying to first work-out and then shower.
YES!!!
@Momma I feel your pain. My newborn spent his first month in my arms ( or else he’d cry for hours) and I had to call my mom ( who lived 40 minutes away,thanks mom! )to take him so I could shower and look human again. BUT HEY maybe we’re not discipled enough to get in shape in 3 weeks !
Well maybe you should have kept him in your arms and showered and worked out at the same time. It does sound like you weren’t disciplined (heavy sarcasm!).
Hoping your little one is now giving you more time and is healthy and happy!
Beyonce on her post-baby body: “There are no secrets. Discipline.”
And spandex.
Ahaah! You nailed it!
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SPANX! How is it that she hasn’t come out with her own line of them?
Be-bounce come out with a line of body shapers? That would mean admitting that she herself wears them. How dare you! She is disciplined bitches! LOL
She is no 5′ 9. I am 5′ 10 and she always struck me as short.
Also, with those sky high heels she wears, at 5 9 she would have been towering. She is not.
Good grief. All manufacture.
She can’t be serious. Dancing 8 to 9 hours a day? What about the baby? I miss so much my kids when they were babies…. How could you want to miss this time? Unbelievable.
I’m starting to feel that for a lot of celebrities, the baby is an accessory, as in, look how gorgeous and skinny I am holding this adorable baby!
I know what you mean — I had to go back to work when my daughter was 18 months and I cried. They grow so fast, and those times when they are little are sooo precious and magical. I can’t believe that my little grandson is going to be a year on the 29th and is walking!
A thousand times agree. I know so many mum who hate being away from their kids but they have to work or go to school. She has enough money to spend some time with her kid. I’m not saying stop working devote every hour of the day to a baby but she just gave birth for god’s sake. Take a few months with the baby. Bond. If you don’t want to do that then I don’t get the point of having a baby. Like the poster above … sometimes it seems like babies are just accessories to these people.
Beyonce please go somewhere and sit down and STFU about how much weight you’ve lost.
She is not 5 9″!!!
That was my first thought. Isn’t she only 5’6″ or so?
I know. She’s much shorter then her ex-DC bandmates. Kelly, who is 5’8″. And Michelle, who is taller then Kelly, at 5’9″. Fakeyonce is only 5’6″1/2. Her shoes are never shorter then 4″ to make her look alot taller.
You’re right! On imdb she’s listed as 5’6 1/2″. 5’9″ MY ASS!
I’m so tired of hearing about this fake bi&*h.
Discipline comes easy when you’ve only got a pillow to lose.
She always seems so nervous and uncomfortable in interviews now. She’s obviously super anxious about being asked ‘hard’ questions about her pregnancy. It’s honestly hard to watch…I wish she would just come clean, but she’s too far deep now.
Wait! You think it’s because of the controversy surrounding her “pregnancy”?? I’ve always thought it was her inability to stream together two coherent sentences.
My daughter loves her and always wanted me to check out her interviews. When she opened her mouth, her speech didn’t match the image SOMEBODY has been trying to project.
She’s a lovely girl but she should just stay in her lane…
Screw the pillow, I can’t believe she went out in public with her ass on display. Tacky.
LOL yes it’s tacky. I don’t have a problem with nudity if its tastefully done, but this isn’t. I never saw the appeal of thong swimsuits. First they dig into your crack and do you really want your ass cheeks on display like that?
I know, at the Met Ball. Is she clueless?
I do NOT know for the life of me why she is becoming a *blatant* attention whore since the “birth” of blue ivy. It feels like she is trying to prove something, trying to be more *real* after the fakeness that surrounded this pregnancy. I used to like her, mostly because she was not a desperate attention seeking slore but now she is beyond obnoxious. Please go take several seats maam!
Holy shit, I hadn’t seen before just how see-through that dress it. Lady, we can see your ass cheeks. Do Not Want!
And sure, discipline. Plus stopping the steriods so the puffiness fades off. Plus, you know, not actually carrying a baby.
She may be right. Look how fast Charlize got her body back. :rolling eyes into space:
Winning!! 🙂
LOL!
Where was her body in the meantime? ROFL
What the hell is that dress? Should have gone naked cause it’s the same difference. Sick of these stars trying to give us normal folks without nannies, time and money exercise advise.
it’s baphomet. the devils mascot. the devils face can bee seen sewn into the belly area of the dress. the eyes of the devil are sewn in too. she wore baphomet at last years met gala and in her girls video. taylor swift does it too, fyi.
hope this helps….
Is Beyonce really only 30?? That means she was only 15 when Destiny’s Child put out their first album. That doesn’t seem right. I was 17 that year and I thought they were all older than I was at the time.
one of my younger cousins was with me when we were posting all those videos beyonce had copied several threads ago. My poor cousin is traumatised, and i feel very bad for ruining her childhood memories. Beyounce and dc were the soundtrack to her childhood. *hangs head in shame* so now i am on Beyonce warpath.
SIT. DOWN. Jesus…this woman. I also have to wonder why the reporters won’t stop asking her about her body. Are they hoping she’ll cave and suddenly reveal that it was a pilow all along? Ugh. I wish I hadn’t read this crap…I want that 5 minutes of my life back.
‘Morning (or is it afternoon for you?) Asli! 🙂
When I first started reading about the theories behind the fake pillow pregnancy I thought it was the most ridiculous stuff I have ever read-just sounded so outlandish/unbelieavable. But now I am convinced she faked it. It kind of makes sense too because it is probably easier for her to keep lying than to have admitted that they were having issues conceiving (if that was indeed the problem-who knows?). Anyway, she could have done women and society in general a favor by admitting that she used a surrogate. I know it’s essentially none of our business but it would have helped to destigmatize the idea of surrogacy instead of keeping it a “dirty little secret”. Then again, she would have had to *sacrifice* her and her hubby’s image as the perfect power couple. SMH…
Truer words have never been spoken.
It’s so crazy because I was never a huge fan of her music but I always liked her. She always *seemed* so genuine. The stuff about her hacking that poor girl’s account and just the sketchiness surrounding Destiny’s Child etc has really really made me dislike her. She is the exact opposite of what I initially thought she was. Fake as hell this one..
What sketchy shit about destinys child?? apart from her being “15” lol
How would you like to be the kid who is never so much as mentioned whilst your father refers to his new baby as his ‘greatest creation’? Happy Father’s Day.
@Katren – also look at website Smokiesays.com where a timeline of beyonce sightings during the supposed 9months of pregnancy has been posted. They’ve used only official sightings put out by Beyonce herself.
I feel the same way kitten. I thought the pillow conspiracy was ridiculous, but now I totally believe she faked the whole thing.
The main reason I didnt believe it before is because she always struck me as “simpleminded” and not really capable of pulling it off. But really, she didnt.
that ‘holding the top of the thighs’ pose shes doing in almost every photo is terrible!
I know! Gawd, I hate they pose! It looks so incredibly fake and stiff, like a mannequin. I don’t care to see her basically naked in public. I can’t stand her!
I have determined that she cannot have an IQ over 20, which doesn’t surprise me but I thought her hubby’s was higher…and probably is but since his moral compass is non-existant IQ doesn’t count.
LMFAO I love this comment.
Beyonce is smart like a fox. She got more press than anybody there. And, truthfully, on live video and from many angles the dress is spectacular on her for that particular type of ball. It isn’t like going to the Oscars and being safe.
Jayna.
Right. She sould not have gotten that press. She wasn’t even invited. Her sister Solange was and got Beyonce in. She couldn’t let her sister enjoy her invite. Beyonce had to be the showstopper. The center of attention. I don’t know how Solange deals with Beyonce trying to “upstage” her all of the time.
It doesn’t take “smarts” –human, animal, vegetable, or otherwise–to get press attention at these kinds of things. Being “outrageous” or tacky or in a see through dress is as banal, boring, and old-as-the-hills a routine celeb tactic as they come.
Going classy, elegant, sure of yourself, and not insecure. is newsworthy….because it is so rare.
She looks the same to me. I would never want that body, too thick plus enough with the siren style, more like shamoo style, she looks cheap and nobody wants to see that! Cover up woman! Trash.
dear lord, it looks (and apparently sounds) like she is shitting feathers out of her a**
Get over it- she has a banging body
If she had chosen a better fit, matching make up and better underwear, like Chloe, her dress could have been EVERYTHING and I would have no choice but to give her props. Thank God she missed the boat as always.
And SHE is dancing 9 hours a day probably getting ready for her Memorial Day weekend concerts. Columbia needs their money recouped and they are playing no games with this chick.
And FTR, I absolutely don’t think Bey has a bad body. That’s the one thing on her that is not bad at all. A lot of it is fake but then what isn’t in Hollyhell, these days?
Good points about how the industry works; i didn’t think of that; this fake thinks she’s royalty but she’s just a product that has lost money and now must work it to make good on the contractual agreements i’m guessing as you’ve stated.
Observation — when asked about the baby she looks SO uncomfortable, looking away over and over. As SOON as she’s asked about business/singing she visibly changes, looks the ET reporter in the eye…is it just me?? Speaks volumes. Talking about my baby was the easiest and most natural thing in the world to me. She has this underlying frantic feel about her when she does.
Your absolutely right ! She does do that. When she is telling the truth she looks the lady in the eye but when the baby talk comes around her eyes start darting away. She is hiding something.
It does take discipline. She may have the money to hire the help but even if you dont… it still takes discipline!! Dont be so catty! She looks fab… and if her bum wasnt hanging out the dress would be awesome.
Something’s just not right with the whole thing. And yeah, discipline is easy when you have a small army of people catering to your every need.
That dress is horrific.
I don’t have the discipline to wear a pillow bump for hours on end.
I can’t even wear clip in hair extensions for hours on end.
JFC! What the crap is that dress? The back of God awful. Oh my God!
Well I never. You don’t say. That must have been what was missing in my life after my child was born. Thanks for the 911
She should take a Valium, so when reporters ask her about the baby she can look them straight in the eye instead of looking around, if you can’t lie well do everyone a favor and stay home with your Mexican baby.
You know for someone that has been gushing how great it is to be a mom, I am surprise she didn’t take some time off to be with the baby. As she say’s she is dancing 8-9 hours a day?? So when does she have time to bond with her child???
She is so full of herself and a fake.
That’s what’s got me scratching my head, as well. How many hours does her day have?
Because she’d need like 40 in order to accommodate all that dancing and spending time with the baby, not to mention eating, sleeping, showering etc.
And mind you, I’m counting the nannies in that schedule as well. She wouldn’t even be running to change diapers all day. SMDH at the obvious stupidity.
How long until that dancing started? Wouldn’t she have been ripped V to A for a while?
Yikes, the ends of her weave sure look like she cut it herself … with a plastic safety scissors for toddlers!
Discipline and industrial-strength spanx and hose. Bitch, please.
The best response to this sort of question I ever saw was from Sandra Bullock, who said basically, “It’s a requirement of my job. If you had to work out as part of your job, you would look like this, too.”
She said that? The most honest and to the point answer I’ve ever heard from a celebrity on this subject.
Sorry to be naive but the pillow-bump theory still has me scratching my head. If true, it’s a cover-up of massive proportions! Wouldn’t all of her friends and family have to be involved? Because when you’re pregnant, you kind of can’t get away from friends and family wanting to touch your tummy and feel the baby kick. So Beyonce asking all of her loved ones to commit to such a huge lie for her… I don’t know, that just seems preposterous to me. Or do the pillow-bump theorists think her friends and family were just as duped as the rest of us?
I normally can’t stand Beyonce, but I can’t hate on her for that comment.
Being rich and having all the help in the world certainly makes being fit easier, but it doesn’t necessarily guarantee it – look at Oprah’s weight struggles.
Exercising is not enjoyable / does not come naturally for everyone! Unless it does, being on any kind of exercise regimen takes discipline. I’m currently on summer break from school with nothing to do – work hasn’t started yet – and I’m still having trouble taking my ass to the gym as often as I should :/
The Olsen Twin in full black was the best dressed at the Met Gala.
those girls are fashion.full.on.
Why would a hospital be complicit in a “fake” birth? How is it that she and her posse could go into a hospital for a week to fake having a baby? Did the surrogate check into the ward instead of her? I’m mystified and would appreciate comments!
The hospital may not have been complicit with the admittance of her…however, depending on whomever leaked the news to the media outlets would be. As HIPAA(Health Privacy Act)is the end-all of be-all for any level of privacy in this country, hospitals do not and cannot police/monitor what has been incorrectly announced nor owe any obligation to correct such statements. If it was the surrogate/gestational carrier instead being admitted, the hospital is not legally bound in any way for what the media reports.
As far as I can tell, the hospital has done nothing wrong legally; they never released info about her or anything, which would violate HIPAA. The doctors and nurses aren’t allowed to say anything; all the hospital had to do was provide a suite.
The birth certificate – I believe – would bear the name of the legal parents, not of a surrogate. (I think the baby is biologically Beyonce & Jay Z’s but they used a surrogate to carry it).
Probably the Carters made a hefty donation to the hospital (i hope so).
Maybe it’s just me but IMO, I think that dress isn’t for someone with a curvy physique. I think it would look better on someone with a slender physique like, let’s say Nicole Kidman because honestly that dress makes Beyoncé look a tad bit shorter than 5’9.
I thought exactly the same !
This is made for leanly girls like Naomi Campbell for example
Chatcat, you’re insulting chipmunks, pigeons, and other rodents of the fields and marshes by implying that bouncy has a higher IQ than such creatures; a poster on a previous bouncy thread put it right – she is such a clod and it is laughable to watch clods attempt to be intellectual; this jig will be up when she has to take her little mexican baby out in public or will she and camel hire a stunt double to keep the charade going.
Amen….
No secrets ladies, no secrets. Just a pillow stuffed up my jumper. No secrets. Damn feathers get everywhere though!
By “discipline” she probably means “keeping your mouth shut”.
“Exercise constantly”??? No thanks!!! Sounds like pure torture.
“Bey, what’s the secret to your amazing shape?”
“I never leave home without my triple spanx outfit and always take a colon cleanser (highly recommended by my good friend Goop). Oh, and as appetite suppressant, I stare at my husband and poof! My hunger goes away! I don’t do the latter too much since it sometimes drives me to binge eating”
Well, I don’t know if we’re being catty, we’re just expressing our opinion. I don’t have to like someone just because they’re a woman, nor do I have to support or like someone just because they’re black.
i gotta say the pillow prop was hard for me to believe until & BUT as a mom who experienced labor not once but twice it was something she said about being in labor for “a long time” or was it “a really long time”. so just like LiLo couldn’t really name how many days of sobriety she had (remember that) Beyonce couldn’t blurt out that rite of passage all women who have had a baby know that they know and are proud to admit. I can name it to the hour and minute for both of my kids even with 26 & 28 years gone by. something you go thru alone & don’t really forget @ least in my time-I can’t speak for them long ago ether days.
No secrets, just discipline…and unlimited budget for a personal chef, personal trainers, all the spare time you want, nannies, housekeepers, personal assistants, expert diet doctors, diet aids, masseuses, saunas, …did I leave anything out? Yes, I did. A massive, delusional ego.
What a great way to use a leftover pillow…make a dress
Beyonce is gorgeous and sexy. go girl! you are amazing!!!
gawd! I couldnt wait to read the comment stream on this one…. just as entertaining as the article!!
such a farce
I saw her here once in a club in Miami- she had high heels on and she wasn’t more then an inch or so taller then me and I’m 5’5. She’s about 5’7 tops
I saw her here once in a club in Miami- she had high heels on and she wasn’t more then an inch or so taller then me and I’m 5’5. She’s about 5 foot 7
I want to like this woman, but she seems so fake. I wish she would just admit she had a surrogate due to her career/ vanity/possible fertility issues. Lots of other women in Hollywood use surrogates and nobody seems to judge them.
Every time I look at her, I can’t help but to think of Kristen Blake from Days of Our Lives in the 90s. She really worked that pillow baby angle, going so far as to find herself a dingbat lookalike to give birth to the real thing so she could fool John!
Miss Thang waited until after everyone else made their rounds with the paps and showed up thirty minutes after the last person on the red carpet. It was staged. She made sure she had all of the cameras on her bag of flour ass and fug-a-lee dress. She is too vain to even pose with her own siser who looked 100x better! This is the Met, you don’t go to the Met with your ass cheeks out! She had an opportunity to show some class and instead she chose to try to outdress and outshine everyone else. And why does Mr. Talking Llama opt out of so many things? He never goes to these things with her. I agree with an above post. She is not that bright, but tries super hard to appear smart. I wish she would just STFD for a while and stop with the tacky regalia and silly interviews.
