Are Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z expecting their first child? So says a source for Us magazine, which reported that the songbird was surprised to find out she’s in her first trimester of pregnancy.
“B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn’t ready to be a mother just yet,” the insider said. “She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again.”
However, the “Dreamgirls” star, married to longtime love Jay-Z since 2008, believes that “this is a gift from God and she’s so happy.”
Truth or rumor? Time will tell!
Open Letter
Is Taylor Swift’s song “Dear John” about rumored former fling John Mayer? The singer-songwriters were linked despite a 13-year age difference, and the 20-year-old country cutie’s lyric, “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?” could well refer to the playboy musician.
When People magazine pointed this out and asked whether the track is indeed about John, the notoriously autobiographical artist became wide-eyed and wouldn’t answer directly.
“A lot of times when people’s relationships end, they write an e-mail to that person and say everything that they wish they would have said,” Taylor said, obliquely. “A lot of times they don’t push send.
“This was a tough one to write, and I guess putting it on the album was pushing send.”
Wonder if John will “reply all” on his blog sometime soon.
Xtina’s X-cape
Divorces are always hard — but when you’re a celebrity, there are ways to ease the pain a little. On Oct. 14, the day she filed papers to end her five-year marriage to Jordan Bratman, Christina Aguilera hopped on a plane to Hawaii. “She wanted to get away,” a source told Life&Style magazine.
On Saturday night, she was spotted living it up at the opening of the Waikiki Edition Hotel. “There were a ton of other celebrities there, including Ryan Kwanten, Shenae Grimes and Jamie Lynn Sigler,” an onlooker said. “But instead of joining them, Christina requested a separate, secluded table on the pool deck with personal Grey Goose bottle service.”
And on Sunday night, at a seven-course meal at the hotel’s Morimoto restaurant, the “Bionic” singer reportedly took advantage of each course’s alcohol pairings.
“By the fourth or fifth course, Christina was wasted,” a witness said. “She didn’t even make it to the final dessert course before having to be carried out of the restaurant.”
Give the girl a break! Her marriage just ended — she’s allowed to party and be a mess. Now, if she’s still being carried out of restaurants this time next year, that will be a whole other story.
Harry: Rebound?
Britain’s Prince Harry has split up with longtime on-off girlfriend Chelsy Davy, once again — and he has already been linked with a new lass.
The party-boy prince’s Zimbabwe-born gal pal returned to Africa after their fifth split in seven years, reportedly because his military training kept them from spending time together.
“Nobody dumped anyone. It was a mutual decision as they were living so far apart. It is as straightforward as that,” a source told the U.K.’s Hello! magazine. “They are still talking regularly and remain best friends.”
Though the tabloid’s sources seem optimistic that the romance could be rekindled yet again, for now Harry is spending time with another blond beauty, Norwegian singer Camilla Romestrand of the band Eddie the Gun.
“She’s confided to a few people about her friendship with Harry. She talks about staying overnight at ‘the Palace,’” a source told the News of the World. “She says he was a ‘total gentleman,’ but doesn’t divulge much else.”
One juicy romantic detail: He reportedly served her breakfast in bed. What, did the royals cut back on butlers?
