Inside Beyonce and Jay-Z’s $500,000 Ultra Luxe Nursery for the Twins

nursery

note: not Beyonce’s nursery

Of course Beyonce and Jay-Z have reportedly already spent a half a million on an ultra luxe nursery for the twins.

Matching cribs, rockers and designer sheets for $30,000? Of course. A $50,000 state-of-the art sound system? Check!

Sources to Life & Style magazine share that the superstar couple are going all out.

“Bey and Jay knocked out a wall between two bedrooms to create a master suite-size nursery inside their LA home,” says a source. “The twins will have matching cribs and rockers and designer sheets totaling $30,000, plus a $50,000 state-of-the-art sound system.”

And yes to the twin babies having something fantabulous to look at as they drift asleep.

“She commissioned a $20,000 mural on the ceiling, complete with glowing stars,” the source told the gossip magazine. “It’s incredible. It’s the entire galaxy above the nursery.”

The nursery will also feature custom walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a movie theater.

This is par for course for the multi-Grammy winning platinum-selling power couple. They spent $1.8 million on gifts for Blue Ivy before she was even born, reports said at the time, including a $600,000 rocking chair.

They are expecting at least one boy, insiders leaked.

“They’ve only felt comfortable announcing it because she’s so far along, and they’ve gone through all the genetic testing and everything is great,” the insider said. “Jay has wanted a boy since their daughter was born. Their wish is coming true.”

Beyonce broke Instagram and shattered the social media image sharing website’s “like: record when she announced this past February news of the twin pregnancy. It’s close to 11M now.

 

 

We’re a Bumpwatch Blog so We’re Gonna Keep Posting On Amal Clooney’s Maternity Style


 

add22d72-0450-450a-82f7-b4b0b734233a

Mainstream news organizations were admonished for commenting on human rights lawyer Amal Clooney’s baby bump when she delivered remarks to international organizations.

But Bellyitch has always been about bump watch fashion so we’re gonna keep on doing us.

And we love the wife to actor director George Clooney‘s exploratory play with color in her wardrobe.

While delivering remarks during an event titled “The Fight against Impunity for Atrocities: Bringing Da’esh to Justice” at the United Nations headquarters, March 9, 2017 in New York City, she opted for sunny yellow. It was International Women’s Day at the time.

This past, Wednesday, March 29, the svelte Arab American was pictured arriving at Chatham House in London to give a speech on war crimes in Syria and Iraq in a crimson dress under a camel coat.

And earlier in the month while visiting The Secretary-General Of The United Nations Antonio Guterres, she wore a navy blue knot dress on March 10.

We did notice that for a woman carrying twins reportedly in her third trimester or end of second, she is awfully tiny and carrying small.

The bellies of most  moms pregnant with twins are three times the size of Amal’s.

All women’s pregnancies are different, after all.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ Star Audra McDonald Talks Balancing Motherhood and Stardom

audra-mcdonald-audramcdonald-%e2%80%a2-instagram-photos-and-videos

It’s been said that the most calmest new moms are older moms and second time moms. Audra McDonald, who at 46 welcomed her surprise second child, daughter Sally James,  is both.

The Tony-Award winning star told PEOPLE magazine in a recent interview, “I’m calmer this time around, 16 year later…Or maybe it’s that I’m just tired because I’m older, but I don’t sweat the small stuff as much.”

Last October, the Beauty and the Beast star welcomed her second daughter with Broadway actor hubby Will Swenson, with help from her first child 16-year old daughter Zoe.

But it didn’t slow down the acclaimed actress who has also won Grammy‘s and an Emmy-Award in recent years for her music and performances. She posted a photo recently of her glam squad hooking her up while holding Sally.

Her older daughter has also been a big help.

“Zoe is such a fantastic big sister to Sally James,” McDonald says. “That’s just who she wants to hang out with. Every time Zoe walks into the room, Sally lights up. And that’s so important to me.”

She even got to see her baby sister being birthed.

“While I was giving birth to Sally James, Zoe wasn’t planning on being in the hospital room, but she got too curious so she came in,” McDonald told the magazine. “I was so worried about her being overwhelmed that literally, as I was pushing out Sally, I was looking over at Zoe saying, ‘Are you okay? Is there anything you need from me, are you okay?’ ”

“And Zoe kept saying, ‘Mom, would you just concentrate on having the baby!’ But I was literally trying to give birth and parent at the same time.”

Son Beau Dean McDermott was born at 1:48 p.m., weighing 5 lbs., 12 oz. He measured 18½ inches long.

“We are over the moon in love with baby Beau. He is a true blessing and his brothers and sisters were overjoyed to meet him! We are all truly grateful for our big beautiful and healthy family,” Spelling, 43, tells PEOPLE.

Spelling and McDermott’s newest addition joins siblings Finn, 4½, Hattie, 5, Stella, 8½, and Liam, 9½. McDermott, 50, also has an 18-year-old son named Jack from his previous marriage.

Congrats!

 

5 Performers who Appeared Very Pregnant in Their Music Videos

 

Updated this post because it is trending again after US Magazine did a spread with a roundup similar to the one I did three years ago and since it looks like they cribbed mine, I’m borrowing their graphic above! lol


A long time ago, women were hidden away when pregnant and certainly, they weren’t flaunted in the media or music videos.

In modern times, beautiful pregnant women are featured prominently as with a very 9-month pregnant Natalie Portman, days before giving birth in the music video for James Blake’s  song “My Willing Heart,” released on Monday.

But she isn’t the first one. Beyonce, P!nk, Deborah Cox, and Whitney Houston have also appeared very pregnant in music videos for their songs

 

 

In 2011, Beyonce was pregnant with her daughter Blue Ivy in her Countdown Video. That year, P!nk was also visibly pregnant with her daughter Willow in her girls empowerment song “F*&>Perfect”.

Before then, Canadian -born artist Deborah Cox showed off her 3rd trimester belly in the later frames of her “Beautiful U R” video” which is also about female empowerment and self esteem.

Finally, Whitney Houston, was also uplifting women in her remake of Chaka Khan‘s “I’m Every Woman” and was pregnant with her daughter Bobbi Kristina. (RIP to both of them)

Beyonce and Jay-Z Found out the Sex of Twins But Are Staying Mum

jay-z-beyonce-pregnant

We are closer than ever to meeting Beyoncé‘s twin bundles of joy.

E! News has an exclusive update about the music superstar’s second pregnancy, and how she’s embracing every aspect along the way. A source admits that although Bey is having a “harder time this pregnancy with keeping up her energy,” she isn’t letting it ruin the experience.

“She loves being pregnant,” our insider adds.

The Lemonade artist has maintained her typically health-conscious diet, but the source tells E! News, “She splurges when she wants to and hasn’t taken her weight gain as a negative thing. She is a confident women in her skin whatever size she is [and] embraces it.”

And yes, the Carter family knows the sex of their babies-to-be but (as expected) are staying mum. That hasn’t stopped the Beyhive from diving deep into a few conspiracy theories, though…

On her marriage to Jay Z, our insider explains the all-star couple is still in the best place. “The love [between Jay Z and Beyoncé] is authentic and real,” the source shares, adding, “Jay is a good dad and husband. He’d do anything for Bey.”

For those heading to the desert for Coachella next month, we have some new insight into the reason why the pregnant star pulled out of headlining the music festival.

We’re told Bey “wanted to play Coachella,” but because her doctors advised to not push herself, as our source explained she “always” does, she delayed her performance until 2018.

Besides, we might have two Carter mini-me’s to gush over by that time anyway!

A Pregnant Natalie Portman Swims Bare Belly in James Blake’s Newest Video

natalie-portman-2

Days before giving birth, Natalie Portman starred in the recently released music video for James Blake’s  song “My Willing Heart,” released on Monday.

In the black and white video which Anna Rose Holmer directed, the Jackie and The Black Swan actress floats in a swimming pool and is later seen in a room caressing her bare baby belly to the melodic but haunting song.

The Oscar- winning actress and her choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied welcomed daughter Amala days after wrapping up shooting of the video. The couple also have a 5-year-old son, Aleph.



The song appears on the British singer/songwriter’s critically acclaimed 2016 album, “The Colour in Anything.” He is famous for experimenting with different styles of music, including electronic and rap.

Natalie may have been one of the first celeb women to appear in a music video so close to delivery but she wasn’t the first to shoot a video while heavily pregnant.

In 2011, Beyonce was pregnant with her daughter Blue Ivy in her Countdown Video. That year, P!nk was also visibly pregnant with her daughter Willow in her girls empowerment song “F*&>Perfect”.

Before then, Canadian -born artist Deborah Cox showed off her 3rd trimester belly in the later frames of her “Beautiful U R” video” which is also about female empowerment and self esteem.  Finally, Whitney Houston, was also uplifting women in her remake of Chaka Khan‘s “I’m Every Woman” and was pregnant with her daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Report: Kate Middleton is Expecting Her Third Child

KAte middleon

We usually don’t like to step on pregnancy announcements before formally made (yeah right!? ?), but gossip sites are claiming that Kate Middleton (Duchess Catherine of Cambridge) is expecting her third child.

Star magazine reports that during afternoon tea, George went up to his great grandmother, the Queen and told her he had a secret. The room went silent and then he spilled the beans.

From Hollywood Life which reminds us that Kate has said she wants 5 kids by age 40:

“It ended up being incredibly sweet. George approached his great-grandmother and exclaimed that he had a secret to share. The room went quiet when he said that ‘mummy has a new bubby in her tummy!’” The queen allegedly called for a champagne toast immediately. “She was delightedly hugging Kate, who was beaming from ear to ear,” the source added.

And apparently, the queen’s cheery spirits totally got William off the hook about his rowdy ski trip last week. “William knew that as soon as he returned to England he’d be in for a serious scolding,” Star’s insider said. “He was on his way back and getting ready to face the music, but it’s no surprise that all was forgiven and forgotten following George’s absolutely adorable announcement.”

For those who need a refresher, the king-in-waiting shook his princely responsibilities on March 13 to go skiing in Verbier. The prince was with his friends and dancing with a blonde instead of attending Commonwealth Day services with his family. But while some reports have said Kate was “humiliated” by her husband’s behavior, Star claims it was HER idea for William to have a boys’ trip.

“It was actually Kate who insisted he go on one last boys’ vacation before focusing on the new baby,” a source for the magazine said. “It’s just a shame it looked like he was having too much fun and absconding from his duties. Who could have known he may have simply been celebrating his wife’s third pregnancy?”

The couple reportedly do not know the sex of their alleged unborn child yet, but they apparently couldn’t care less either way — they just want it to be healthy. “Kate is in fine form right now,” the insider added. “She’s full of energy and hasn’t stopped…William is ecstatic.”

Viral: This Baby Looks Just Like Ed Sheeran

img_3602

This originally appeared in E!

Ed Sheeran has a look-alike…in the shape of a 2-year-old girl.

Photos of a British girl went viral Tuesday because of how much she looks exactly like the “Shape of You” crooner. The little girl’s name is Isla, and her mom Zoe Walton opened up to E! News exclusively about her

daughter’s sudden Internet fame.

“I can’t believe how viral it has gone,” Walton told E! News.

Walton and her family live in Exeter, Devon, England, and while they don’t expect to hear from Sheeran himself, she did tell E! News that he would “hopefully one day” reach out to meet his baby doppelganger. Isla turns three in May, which could make for an amazing birthday surprise!

Sheeran kicks off his North American tour to support his latest album, Divide, on June 29 in Kansas City, Mo., and it wraps Oct. 6 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Although he doesn’t leave for a couple of months, the 26-year-old singer hasn’t been taking it easy. Sheeran has been promoting Divide, traveling around the world to perform, interview and pose for magazine photo shoots. But he doesn’t mind because he knows 2017 is his year.

“I think this year is going to be the high point. I have a feeling about it,” Sheeran told BBC News. “Seventeen is my lucky number, and everyone I was scared of releasing of albums around me released them all last year—people like Beyoncé and The Weeknd and Bruno Mars.”He continued, “Taylor [Swift] isn’t going to be releasing until probably the end of this year—Christmas is the smartest time to release because that’s when everyone buys records, so I’ve got a full year of just all Ed, all the time.”

And now there are two Eds to go around—the real Ed and Isla!
