STR8 TALK: BEYONCE’S BABY BUMP BOOST RECORD SALES

LexAve — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 04:06:13 +0000

You might recall a while back Beyonce’s “4″ album made a lackluster debut on the charts. Well thanks to her flaunting of her new baby bump, King Bey not only made Twitter history but her record sales got a major boost. According to Billboard.com,

Other obvious gainer thanks to the VMA show is Beyonce, who announced she was pregnant during her performance of “Love On Top.” Her “4″ album returns to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with 39,000 (jumping 12-7; up 87%) and “Love” debuts at No. 10 on Digital Songs with 113,000 (up 803%). This marks the first time the “4″ album has posted a weekly sales increase since its arrival.

Luckily for Bey that baby bump boosted her back to the top on the charts. Now that The Carters are adding a new member to their empire, only more success and mayhem will follow. But is this surprising at all?! After they’re hip hop/pop royal couple. Either way congrats to the parents to be and Happy Belated Bday Bey!
Here are some flicks of the pair kicking it in Crotia with the crew.

J'More — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:13:55 +0000

Mariah Carey has been dogged by pregnancy rumors since she and hubby Nick Cannon tied the knot. And after she pulled out of her new gig in Tyler Perry’s new film For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf–the speculation hit the roof! Earlier today, RadarOnline broke the news that Mariah is indeed eating for two.

“They’re both very excited and very happy”, said a snitch. “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can.”

When RadarOnline hit up MiMi’s mouthpiece Cindi Berger, homegirl didn’t even deny the pregnancy news, but rather made it clear that she’s “not at liberty to discuss Mariah’s personal life at this time”. Hmmm…

Well, the National Enquirer is reporting that the diva is actually eating for three! WOW!

A snitch reveals,
“Mariah is gushing that she’s going t o have twins. Mariah and Nick both want a big family. Mariah told her handlers that she’s taking an unofficial family time break, and she’s keeping her work load light for the rest of the year.”

Mariah and Nick need to just let the cat out of the bag. And judging by recent pics of her, she’s definitely eating for more than just herself!

J'More — Fri, 28 May 2010 03:06:45 +0000

While it’s been speculated that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are going half on a baby, not to mention recent pics of the singer further added fuel to the rumor. Well, folks we’re no longer on bump watch ’cause Alicia is indeed preggers with Swizz Beatz’ seed. The Grammy-award winning singer’s mouthpiece broke the news to Us magazine–confirming that the couple is expecting a baby and plan to marry later this year.

A snitch tells Us,

“They are very happy.”

Earlier this year, Alicia revealed that she was ready to settle down and start a family. Who one knew that it would be this soon?! How long have they been dating? Anywhoo, Swizz already has two kids from prior relationships.

Alicia is well aware of karma ’cause what goes around definitely comes around! I wonder how Mashonda is dealing with the breaking news. Matter fact, Mashonda doesn’t even have to worry about them ’cause she ‘s about to get P-A-I-D!

In other related news, here are some pictures from last night’s Keep A Child Alive Ball in London.

Alicia and Swizz share an intimate and happy moment…

After smiling for the cameras and working the room, Alicia hits the stage to do her thing.

MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE…BUT DNA TEST DON’T! PAPA KNOWLES IS THE FATHER!

J'More — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:45:19 +0000

A while back we reported that Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles slipped up and knocked up his jumpoff. After word broke out MaMa Knowles filed for divorce after being married to his trifling a$$ for 29 years! Last month, PaPa Knowles’ jumpoff gave birth a baby boy and from jump he asked for a paternity test–frontin’ like it wasn’t his. Well, the DNA results are in and in my Maury voice, “He is the father!”. Meanwhile, the jumpoff claims she had an 18 month fling with PaPa Knowles. Geesh, PaPa Knowles is definitely a rolling stone! Wonder how Bey feels about this?

This could’ve been avoided had he kept his d*ck in his pants or had he just paid shorty off. Instead he wanted to front like he didn’t slip up and beat it raw. I swear PaPa Knowles is the modern day Joe Jackson of our generation.

MARIAH CAREY & NICK CANNON GOING HALF ON A BABY?!

J'More — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:11:02 +0000

Word is Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon are trying to stay true to their New Year’s resolution to have a baby in 2010.

“Mariah and Nick are thrilled at the prospect of finally starting a family together,” a snitch told The National Enquirer. “Mariah feels incredibly blessed to have a solid marriage and a soaring career – but now her primary goal is motherhood.”

And the two are desperate to have a lil’ Nick or lil’ MiMi running around that if Mariah’s eggs have gone bad they already have a plan B.

“If they don’t conceive naturally, then Mariah and Nick are ready to adopt,” adds the snitch. “They have lined up several potential adoption agencies.”

I still can’t believe that they’re still together. Nick is definitely reaping the benefits of being “Mr. Mariah Carey”…now that’s one kept man!
