Beyonce’s mother has spoken out this week in light of the recent pregnancy rumours which have surfaced regarding her daughter.

Earlier this week several reports surfaced in the US claiming that the former Destiny’s Child singer is expecting her first child with her rap star husband, Jay-Z. It was thought the award-winning diva had fallen pregnant accidentally as she prepared for her world tour.

However the singer’s 56-year-old mother appeared on a US chat show this week and joked: “The truth is that’s it’s not Beyonce that’s pregnant, it’s me” Before denying the rumours that her daughter was pregnant saying “it’s not true. Not right now.”

Despite her mother’s flat denial of the baby news, the congratulations have been pouring in from other celebrity friends of the couple. Beyonce’s sister, Solange, even remarked “she’ll be a great mom.”

Beyonce and Jay Z work hard to keep their relationship out of the press, the couple even married in secret in 2008 and didn’t admit to becoming husband and wife until many months after the event.   

Speaking in an interview earlier this year, the Crazy in Love singer said she would consider starting a family when she’s ready, adding that she’s doesn’t have any time frame in mind for when she plans to become a mother.

Beyonce was seen checking into a Miami hotel this week wearing a very tight fitting dress showing no hint of a baby bump.

Beyonce accepting one of her 6 Grammy awards at last night's ceremony

Beyonce cleared up at last night’s 52nd annual Grammy Awards ceremony picking up a total of 6 gongs.

The staggering clutch of awards made the former Destiny’s Child singer the only female artist to pick up so many awards in one night at the Grammy’s ever. Prior to this, the most awards Beyonce had picked up in a single night was 5 back in 2005. She now has a massive 16 Grammys to her name in total.

The star studded event was held at The Staples Centre in Los Angeles and was attended by an array of celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Pink, Heidi Klum, and Katy Perry amongst others.

Picking up one of her 6 awards, Beyonce referred to her husband Jay-Z, something she rarely does as both artists are notoriously secretive about their relationship. During her acceptance speech the 28-year-old said, “I’d like to thank my family, including my husband. I love you.”

The Crazy in Love singer picked up the award for Best Song of the Year and Best R&B Song for the track Single Ladies (put a ring on it) she also picked up the trophy for Best Contemporary Album, Best Female Pop, and Best Vocal Performance.

The other big winners of the night included 20-year-old Taylor Swift who became the youngest artist ever to win the coveted Best Album Award. The country singer picked up a further three awards bring her tally of the night up to 4. Jay-Z, The Black Eyed Peas and Kings Of Leon all picked up three trophies each, and Eminem and Lady Gaga both picked up two each.

There was a poignant moment during the ceremony when Michael Jackson’s children, Prince Michael and Paris, collected a lifetime achievement award on behalf of their father.

Rihanna's undignified limo entrance

Rihanna was riding high last night after partying the night away in London and delivering a triumphant performance at a secret preview gig at Brixton Academy; that is until she made the ultimate girl’s faux pas as she attempted to get into her chauffeur driven limo. The trim 21-year-old made the mistake of teaming a super short red mini-dress with killer heels and then attempting to clamber into the back of her limousine.

The paparazzi waiting outside top celeb hangout, Mahiki, where Rihanna had been enjoying an after show party along with her mentor Jay Z and Beyonce, got the money shot as the pop star leant over to reveal, wait for it…cellulite.

As the singer took her seat in her limo she then gave the photographers another eyeful, this time revealing her nude coloured underwear. The usually composed star could be forgiven for her uncharacteristic behaviour as it seems she may have enjoyed one glass too many of free champagne, as she then proceeded to lie horizontally across the back seat of the limousine.

The umbrella singer is currently in the UK to promote her eagerly anticipated new album, Rated R. Rihanna proved she was back on top form after a spell out of the limelight as she dealt with the legal proceedings in which her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown was charged with assaulting her. Despite a difficult past few months, Rihanna returned to the stage at the VIP show and delighted the crowd with a rendition of her previous hits, as well as some unheard tracks from her new album.

Peter Andre's album to reach number 2 in charts

If the mid-week reports are anything to go by, Peter Andre should clinch the number 2 position in the U.K album charts this week with his brand new release, Revelation. His attempt to resurrect a pop career is going from strength to strength as fans have been cuing up to get their hands on the latest Andre offering.

Other runners and riders in the album chart this week include newcomer Pixie Lott and U.S rap star, and hubby to Beyonce, Jay Z. However the veteran singer, 92-year-old Vera Lynn, is showing the young ones a thing or two by hanging on to the number one spot for another week.

Pete’s popularity has sky rocketed since his split from former wife, Katie Price, earlier this year whereas hers has taken a serious nose-dive. The 36-year-old Aussie singer is currently on tour around the U.K to promote the new album. He’s already visited Milton Keynes and Reading this week where he was mobbed by thousands of fans as they turned out in force to catch a glimpse of the star.

The success of the album will further boost Peter’s earnings which have also seen a dramatic increase in the past few months. It has been estimated that the singer has racked in almost £4 million since the news of the divorce. He’s managed to bag a presenting job on This Morning and been paid a fortune for countless interviews and appearances: Pete’s never been so popular.
