Entertainment website “Media Take Out” has given birth to a rumour now sweeping the Internet — that Beyonce Knowles’ widely-reported pregnancy is a hoax and she and husband rapper Jay-Z are instead using a surrogate they have moved to Bermuda to carry their child.
“Media Take Out” posted a speculative item recently, claiming a former assistant of the R&B superstar and actress is now pregnant and has been “whisked away from her humble Brooklyn apartment to luxury accommodations on Bermuda.”
Websites and gossip magazines have for weeks argued that Beyonce’s “questionable baby bump keeps publicly going up and down in size, also bending, creasing, folding and shifting on television.”
During a recent Australian TV interview to promote her new album “4″, Beyonce discussed her pregnancy and said she is due to give birth in February, adding that she feels “grateful” and “blessed’ to be expecting her first child.
But the TV footage promoted speculation on gossip websites and in tabloid newspapers that she is wearing a prosthetic bump and using the surrogate to carry the child she and Jay-Z are expecting.
Even TV talk show host Wendy Williams addressed the mounting speculation about Beyonce’s pregnancy on her programme.
Some mainstream news outlets are currently investigating the story, which has been dismissed out of hand by spokesmen for both Beyonce and her husband, with “The Washington Post” calling the rumour “weird” and laughing it off.
But ABC News asked “Is Beyoncé’s bump as big as she’d have us believe?” — although the network stopped short of endorsing conspiracy theories that she was faking her pregnancy while a surrogate mother carries her baby.
Beyonce is no stranger to the island, having appeared at the 2008 Bermuda Music Festival.
