This Happens to Every Thin Female Celeb Who Gains A Little Weight

There is one common and often made misconception about any female celebrity who is also famously known for being very thin: that they are pregnant.

Recently, it happened to Rihanna here, Brandy here, Christina Aguilera here, and Taylor Swift here. 

I see it all the time and more recently with several female recording artists, including two of our past Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums: Christina Aguilera and Brandy Norwood. Both of these two ladies exploded on the scene in the early 2000s at very young ages before becoming moms and since then, they’ve both added a few pounds, taken off some and fluctuated like most women do. When the metabolism slows, priorities change, and old bad habits are abandoned weight fluctation happens.

Recently, two other A-list pop sensations have been feeling the sting of body shamers.

Rihanna has embraced a curvier frame and has been showing it off deliciously in seductive clothing as usual, but not all in social media have received her fab bodacious body. I do not care to elevate mean people so I will skip sharing the proof of the horrible stuff I’ve seen from random folks in her mentions.

Similarly, Taylor Swift has been wearing sheath dresses much and her thighs and body overall is not as rail thin as before. She is older, and reports state in a different place in her life and as such has been less consumed with meeting that Hollywood super thin standard.

Good for all of them.

And the common thread is that members of the public and then consequently, the gossip press push forward stories that they are expecting and hiding it with baggy clothes.

Most of the times, they are just living their best possible life and happy being free of restrictions and ultra strict diets! And Romper credits the pregnancy tag to the loose baggy clothes trend! Aaaah! Makes sense!

Keep on rockin it hard, ladies!

2015 BET Awards Red Carpet: What & Who Our Star Moms Wore

2015 bet awards

We loved the interesting selections our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums wore on the red carpet last night at the 2015 BET Awards held at the Microsoft Theater  in Los Angeles, California. As usual, we’re doing our rundown on the designers who outfitted the ladies who walked the red carpet.

Kelly Rowland rocked a black asymmetric feathered mini frock by Lever Couture which featured a mock turtleneck and billowy sleeve cascading from the sleeves with slick back hair. It was a daring and bold move.

Amber Rose came hand in hand with her BFF Blac Chyna, both Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums. Each wore matching white suits and bustiers from lingerie designer La Perla. They even shared a kiss on the red carpet to celebrate the US Supreme Court’s decision which opened the door for gay couples in all states to marry.

Christina Milian also arrived in white. The reality TV star, actress and singer came decked out in a jeweled halter jumpsuit made by Erevos Aether and paired with Ruby Stella jewels and Jimmy Choo sandals. Cayooot!

Ciara made another fab choice by arriving in a plunging neckline Wes Gordon sheer dress made of embroidered metal, accented with minimal jewels and Stuart Weitzan pumps. She arrived with her new beau NFL Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Brandy went with her signature mini dress with a flare in this grey and black Michael Costello color block dress with pink pumps. Love the hair!

Sofia Vergara said she froze her eggs for future baby (VIDEO)

Last week, singer and The Game actress Brandy Norwood told Queen Latifah she planned to freeze her eggs for a baby in the future.
And on this anniversary today of the tragic Boston bombings, we are reminded that it was last year around this time that Modern Family  actress described the process of freezing her eggs in an interview on Good Morning America.
Vergara, who is currently 41 and dating a guy who is three years younger than she is and who never had a child said last year she wanted to preserve the opportunity to bear him a child. 
“I just wanted to plan ahead,” Vergara told ABC News of the possibility of more children. 
“I have my son, Manolo,” she said of her 21-year old son from a previous marriage who was studying in Boston at the time of the incident. “It’s not an emergency for me to have another kid, but for Nicky, he’s never had a baby.”
She admitted to consulting a fertility specialist. 
“Nothing happens that naturally anymore,” she said of her options for having more kids at her age. “I wanted to take advantage of science. Why not?”
She added, “I wanted to make sure I already froze my eggs. I wanted to take advantage of science,” adding, “I took them out already. They’re in the refrigerators. Hopefully, they’ll be fresh by the time I use them.”

Brandy Norwood tells Queen Latifah she will freeze her eggs soon

Tuesday, during The Queen Latifah Show, singer and star of BET‘s The Game Brandy Norwood told Latifah that she plans to freeze some of her eggs at her next doctor’s appointment. 
The mom to 11-year old daughter Sy’rai, said she was “hopeful but realistic” when it comes to having additional children.
“Chances are looking a little slim for the future kids. I’m 35,” Norwood told Latifah. “I feel like my next doctor’s appointment, I’ma have to freeze my eggs. I’m not sure if I’m going to have more kids; I’m hopeful. I have faith.”‘
She also said she avoids exposing her daughter to the limelight so she could grow up as normal as possible. 
“I like that our life is simple,” she added. “I like keeping the sense of normality to our life” 
In 2002, Brandy became the very first celebrity to showcase a pregnancy, labor and birth on reality TV when she starred in an MTV Diary special about it, MTV special Diary Presents: Diary – Special Delivery”. 
And true to Reality TV poor record with couples featured on it, Norwood has long since split with Sy’rai’s dad producer Robert “Big Bert” Smith.

45th Annual NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Kerry Washington & others who wowed (PHOTOS)

Last night, some of our current and past Bellyitch Bumpwatch and other moms hit the red carpet to the  45th NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on February 22, 2014.
Scandal actress and first time mom-to-be Kerry Washington stunned in a custom Thakoon NY dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, a brada clutch and Suzanne Kalan ring. 
The  and her cast took home the award for the Outstanding Drama Series award.  She looked stunning pictured with actors Tony Goldwyn, Scott Foley, Columbus Short, Katie Lowes, Darby Stanchfield, Joe Morton, Bellamy Young, and Guillermo Diaz,

Idris Elba, Best Actor nominee for  Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom  and Dad-to-be and with girlfriend Naya Garth, looked dapper in a fitted tux and Louboutin “Dada” flats while posing with 2014 Award season “It” girl actress Lupita  Nyong’o of 12 Years A Slave.  Elba won the award for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special for his role in Luther
 Nyong’o took home the Best Actress award for her role in that movie award and  looked amazing in a plunging neckline burnt orange Givenchy  pre-Fall 2014 gown with matching sandals and box clutch from the designer with her hair in a parted afro-puff. She acceneted the look with an H. Stern gold cuff and dangling earrings. 

A more recent Bellyitch bumpwatch mom Nia Long was nominated for her role in House of Lies and wowed in a jade green  Nicole Miller halter gown Brian Atwood heels, a Salvatore Ferragamo nude basket-weave clutch and Danielle Queller earrings.

 

Our winner for best body winner actress Regina King, who was nominated for outstanding actress in a drama series, turned heads in Michael Costello, who seems to be the go-to designer for Black Hollywood but seemed to miss in this ill fitting black mermaid dress that looked to constrain the SouthLAnd  star’s toned torso too much.

We have covered mom and soon-to-be surrogate TV personality Sherri Shepherd of The View in the past and last night she worked magic in an off the shoulder shimmery Carmen Marc Valvo gown. The unexpected blue nails were a plus, with the statement accent pieces. 
One of the very first moms we featured for being the first to have a reality TV special following her pregnancy, singer and actress Brandy Norwood, won the  Image award for “Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series” for her role on BET’s The Game.  She looked darling and sexy in a black cut out dress during the non-televised dinner show and again the next day during the televised portion of the show in a Jean Fares Couture black lace embellished gown with nude lining.

Even though she didn’t win for her wonderful and talented work in The Butler, advice mom to the world, Ms. Oprah Winfrey looked dazzling in her burnt orange dress while paying tribute to the late Nelson Mandela who we lost earlier this year.
