Beyonce Fires Back at Fake Pregnancy Rumors>>>

After giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, three months ago, Beyonce Knowles is finally speaking about the rumors that she faked her pregnancy with husband Jay-Z.

In an interview with People magazine for their 2012 World's Most Beautiful Woman special issue, the 30 year-old songstress said that the surrogacy rumors were "crazy,"explaining, "That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy, [I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”
Rumors started swirling that the "Bootylicious" singer was wearing a prosthetic baby bump back in October when she made an appearance on Australia's "Sunday Night HD." When Knowles sat down it appeared her bump deflated, but the actress fired back, saying, "It was a fabric that folded—does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid."

Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, also shot back at the nay-sayers, tweeting earlier, "It has really gotten out of hand. I've been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut....but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting."

The singer/songwriter's family is definitely upset about the tabloid chatter, especially her mother, Tina Knowles, who vented, "I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months. As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous."
Though the situation has been tough on the Grammy Award-winning artist, she says she has gotten through all of the "stupid rumors" by focusing on all of the "love and well wishes" from her amazing fans.

Rumors aside, Beyonce called motherhood "amazing," gushing, "I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth, I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Will and Kate Celebrate Their Royal One Year Anniversary!

Now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are preparing to walk down the aisle, Americans are looking forward to one of the biggest weddings of the century; but before the hype of one of Hollywood's favorite couples came the royal wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton.

Exactly one year ago today (April 29), excited viewers around the world gathered near their televisions to watch history in the making as Catherine Elizabeth Middleton married William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor at the exquisite Westminster Abbey.

Since the moment the royal couple said "I do," the world has been intrigued by watching their every move, including the life of Kate's younger sister, Pippa Middleton. After helping to walk her sister down the aisle, Pippa became a household name as millions envied her in that gorgeous white bridesmaid dress by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.

Meanwhile, Will and Kate have taken the world by storm, stepping out on two official tours, where the excitement of meeting the couple was counteracted by the same amount of excitement for women everywhere waiting to see what new fashions the Princess would be wearing that day.

Though rumors have sparked multiple times that a royal baby is on the way, so far the only new addition to the family is a puppy! A black Cocker Spaniel named Lupo, or "wolf" in Italian, has been the center of the two's attention.

Besides the wedding and undeniable modern-day freshness William and Kate bring to the world, they have also made headlines for getting their own wax figures unveiled in London and New York by Madame Tussauds, as well as meeting the Obamas and other Hollywood A-listers.

Though we don't know what's ahead for the next year of marriage, we can only assume it will include more head-turning glamorous fashions and commendable charity efforts.

Chris Brown: Puppies For Sale

A little controversy was sparked earlier this week when PETA got wind of Chris Brown possibly running a puppy mill.

Brown's mother started the suspicion when she tweeted, “Chris Brown Puppies For Sale,” and included a link to a website called “CB Breeds".

On the website Brown is featured cuddling up with a puppy, and the sale of sale of six Pit Bull Terriers are advertised for $1,000 each.

PETA released a statement about Brown possibly breeding dogs to sell on Friday telling Gossip Cop, “There is no such thing as a responsible breeder while wonderful dogs are being put down in animal shelters across the country for lack of a good home.”

The statement continues, “This is a moneymaking scheme, and Brown will count the suckers who fall for it as he counts the money on the way to the bank. Shelters will count the bodies in the barrel. As Justin Bieber, Kellan Lutz and Rocsi Diaz say, ‘adopt, never buy.’”

However, the 22-year-old singer's rep has denied rumors of running a puppy mill telling Gossip Cop, “These are puppies from his dogs he has back home in Virginia that are being sold to make sure they get good homes." Adding, “He loves animals, especially dogs."
