Tina Knowles: “By now I should have about 5 or 6 grandchildren”
Beyone’s mom Tina Knowles appeared on ‘The Ellen Show’ yesterday to hawk her clothing line. She also took the opportunity to deny rampant rumors that her daughter is once again pregnant by Jay Z.
“The truth is that it’s not Beyonce that’s pregnant, it’s me,” Knowles joked. “I’m kidding y’all. I’m 56. No, it’s not true” she said in reference to the rumor that seems to pop up whenever someone in the Knowles family has something to promote, such as an album or clothing line.
US Weekly broke the fake news yesterday on its website. The magazine (probably with the blessings of the Knowles) manufactured a blatant lie, and even added an old quote from Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles to add legitimacy.
Every reliable major news outlet picked up the story and reported on it as fact, because US Weekly was once considered a legitimate news source.
“With all the rumors, I should have about 5 or 6 grandchildren by now,” said Knowles. The segment will air today. Check your local listings for times.

First Pics of Beyonce and Jay Z Since ‘Pregnancy’ Rumor
Beyonce and her hubby Jay-Z were seen at their Miami Beach hotel today just hours after a US magazine spread rumors that she was pregnant for the 20th time with Jay Z’s 2nd child.
Neither Beyonce nor her reps have addressed the rumor so far.
On Monday night, Bey’s hubby watched as a lunatic was dragged off the field at Yankee stadium by NY’s finest during the Yankees playoff game.
According to Splash News:
The man ran onto the field to confront A-Rod out of crazed jealousy over the star infielder’s romantic relationship with Cameron Diaz, police sources told The Post last night. Grim LeRogue, who legally changed his name from Joe Rogan, was carrying five pictures when he made his mad dash — including one of Rodriguez with an X scrawled across his face and a gun pointed at his head.
An apparent threat was scribbled across the picture: “You have to go bud, you’ve ruined too many of our white queens.” LeRogue, who was tackled by security just a few feet from the stands (Jay Z can be seen on the left of the first frame), apparently is in love with the “There’s Something About Mary” star. He also carried a picture of Diaz with the message: “We will be together soon,” the police sources added.

Christina Aguilera is Not a Lesbian
Christina Aguilera’s impending divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman prompted a few rumors including one that she is involved in a lesbian affair with Lindsay Lohan’s ex, Samantha Ronson.
Christina cited “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce papers, leading some to speculate that Bratman cheated on her.
Not true says a loyal reader, who wrote this comment alleging Christina was cheating on Bratman with her hunky co-star Cam Gigandet:
Christina is getting divorced for cheating, yes, but not with Samantha Ronson, but with her co-star in her new movie coming out – “Burlesque”. His name is Cam Gigandet. The whole cast & crew know this… not sure why the blogs aren’t reporting the correct info…but, there it is folks. Look him up.

Christina and her handsome new beau Cam Gigandet were spotted boarding a private jet after enjoying the sun and surf in Oahu, Hawaii earlier this week. No word on where the 2 were headed next.

Willow Smith Struggles To Read the Word ‘Congratulates’
Earlier I mentioned the fact that Will Smith’s daughter Willow Smith said she didn’t have much time for studying due to her busy schedule. As a result, she readily admits that, although her parents can afford to hire the best tutors, she is still lagging far behind the rest of the students.
How can a 9-year-old be too busy to attend to her schoolwork? And why aren’t her parents stepping in to make sure that her schoolwork takes priority over everything else she’s got going in her young life?
According to a loyal reader, who asked to remain anonymous, Willow appeared to struggle with the word ‘Congratulates’ while reading a plaque given to her on BET’s 106 & Park recently.
A loyal reader writes:
Can young Willow Smith read at grade level?
I love the Smiths. I LOVE their children. They’re a very blessed family. However since I saw Willow on BET’s 106 and Park it made me wonder if she was reading at her grade level.
Willow is stunning, I am a fan of her music and her family…but while reading her very first plaque she struggled with the word “congratulates”. The host had to finish reading that word for her. I’m unsure what grade level “congratulates” is under but I’m at work while sneaking this email to you. I’ve found the Scholastic website. Perhaps its on there.
BEYONCE PREGNANCY RUMORS ARE FALSE (So what else is new?)
According to NewsOXY.com, Beyonce is not pregnant for the 20th time with Jay Z’s 2nd child, as reported first by US Weekly magazine this morning. Are some magazines that desperate sell issues?
Beyonce pregnant report with Jay-Z false. A pregnant story about Beyonce and how her and Jay-Z are expecting their first child is false. Sources say Beyonce is not pregnant and that the report is totally “misleading and false.”
It’s a shame that there are so many mistrusted Web sites that report such inaccuracy in an attempt to get traffic on the Internet. We’ve seen these pregnant rumors before. They have been fabricated time and time again.
Sources close to the couple say Beyonce “is not planning to have a baby anytime soon.” There is truth that the singer does want to have children. When that happens, we’ll be on it like hotcakes on the griddle.
Thanks to loyal reader Nancy S. for the tip!

Dwyane Wade Plans to Give Up Partying for His Sons
According to a report on FoxSports.com, NBA superstar Dwyane Wade told a Chicago judge Monday he would give up partying if he was awarded full custody of his two sons.
But the party doesn’t stop just yet.
Wade and his Miami Heat teammates, LeBron James and Chris Bosh will host a party tonight at the Compound in Atlanta. Alex Gidewon of AG Entertainment is the first promoter to sign the Big 3 to host a party together!
Doors open at 10pm, but guests are strongly encouraged to arrive early.
Wade, who was granted temporary custody of the boys earlier this year, described the boys’ mother Siohvaugh Wade as mentally unbalanced, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Testifying for a second day in a custody battle with his estranged wife Siohvaughn Wade, the NBA All-Star said his oldest son, who is eight, had been “alienated” from him.
Wade said his ex-wife needed help dealing with her anger issues.
He told the court he feared she had harmed herself, and the two boys, when she failed to drop the children off on a court-ordered visit earlier in the year and he could not get in contact with her for more than a day.
“I immediately thought the worst,” he said, “that she probably took them away, that she hurt herself or even hurt the kids.”
The Wades have not spoken since that incident on March 12.
Wade said if he got custody of his sons — who are 3 and 8 — he would give up partying. He said he would allow Siohvaughn to be involved in her son’s lives but only if she completed an anger management course.
The Miami Heat plays the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow night at Philips Arena.
