Wow! Stunner Baby Magazine Paparazzi shines the baby glow spotlight on Beyonce Knowles splash announcement on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards: The announcement break on August 28, 2011 at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Knowles announced that she and Jay-Z are expecting their first child. She made the announcement during her red carpet appearance and again at the end of her performance of “Love on Top”.

The Huffington Post later confirmed that Knowles is 5 months pregnant and her pregnancy announcement had broken the “most tweets per second recorded for a single event” Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second. MTV reported that Knowles’ performance of “Love on Top” and the announcement of her pregnancy at the awards ceremony helped the 2011′s MTV Video Music Awards become the most-watched broadcast in MTV history, pulling in 12.4 million viewers. In addition, data from Google Insights showed that the most searched for term from August 29, 2011 to September 4, 2011 was “Beyonce pregnant” which reached ‘breakout’ levels – a term used by Google to describe a search with an increase of over 5,000 percent. Knowles’ announcement of her pregnancy resulted in an increase in sales of her records, particularly 4, which has sold fewer than 700,000 copies as of August 2011.

In October 2011, during an appearance on the Australian television program, Sunday Night, Knowles’ pregnant belly appeared to collapse inwardly as she sat down on a chair. Following the interview, rumors then began circulating online that Knowles was faking her pregnancy and is actually wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly. However, Knowles’ representative later issued a statement to ABC News, saying that the rumors are “stupid, ridiculous and false”.
Singer Kelly Rowland has mistakenly revealed the sex of pal Beyonce’s and husband Jay-Z’s new baby. Beyonce’s best friend Kelly Rowland appears to have let the cat out of the bag in an interview saying the “Crazy In Love” singer is expecting a little girl next year.

Rowland, 30, revealed: “I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyoncé at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible.” Speaking at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards 2011 in London, Kelly added about the baby: “She won’t be spoiled but she will be very well looked after.” Meanwhile, according to RadarOnline, Beyonce and the Jay-Z were initially ‘hoping’ for a boy, but are ‘happy’ to be expecting a daughter.

As she began her performance of “Love on Top” on the VMAs, Beyonce said to the crowd, “I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside me.” After her performance, she dropped her mic, unbuttoned her coat, and rubbed her belly, while Kanye West congratulated a beaming Jay-Z in the audience.
