Please do not include my name in this email. I must admit at first I thought you we’re a little cruel for bothering Beyonce. However after carefully reviewing pictures of her birthday weekend in Italy. I have to say that I agree with you. I don’t think she is pregnant. The photos that were taken from afar show a very nice size belly, however when the media was able to take up close pictures of Beyonce she has a huge purse covering up her stomach. I am saying this as a Beyonce fan. I believe that maybe she and Jay are unable to have children and are planning to adopt and don’t want the media to know. I don’t understand why someone of her status would flaunt her belly and pregnancy but once cameras are up close and personal she hides her tummy. Please ask your bloggers how can they explain these photos??

SR responds: It definitely looks like she was hiding something. And we already know the “paparazzi” photos were staged by Bey’s camp.
