Beyonce has revealed her post-baby body after giving birth only a month ago. And of course, skeptics and conspiracy theorists alike are turning their heads to make sure she’s at least a little fat.

And she really isn’t, but there are a couple of pretty big signs that prove…Beyonce had this baby. I’m not saying I’m planning to get pregnant just to get bigger boobs, but it is an incentive.
Beyonce literally shuts down New York city with her first post-baby appearance. Okay, I’m being dramatic, but she shut it down…emotionally.  For me, that is.

Beyonce finally stepped out in public for the first time since given birth, debuting her post-baby body and she looks ah-mah-zing!

  Jay-Z was set to perform at Carnegie Hall
Don't MISS out on Breaking News!
And they do it almost better than Beyonce. I said almost!

For some reason, there’s a video of Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens performing a dance routine to Beyonce’s Run The World.

I’m not sure why these two decided to take a private dance lesson to learn this routine, and I’m not sure why it’s on YouTube, but I need answers. What’s your angle, guys?

If I could be any celebrity in Hollywood, Gwyneth Paltrow wouldn’t be a bad choice. She looks even better now than she did in her twenties, she’s married to a (sort of) rock star, and her best friend is Beyonce.

Oh yeah, I’d also like to be Beyonce. But I digress.

Gwyneth graces the March cover of Harper’s Bazaar, and in the mag, she talks about everything from Apple to Botox to her man, Chris Martin.

“He’s very communicative,” Gwyneth says of her relationship with Coldplay’s front man. The actress adds that it’s an unexpected quality that’s “rare for a British man.”
Nobody loves talking about Sofia Vergara’s body more than Sofia Vergara. But that’s not to say tons of men aren’t talking about it, too. And now we have indisputable proof.

AskMen conducted their 2012 survey of the ’99 Most Desirable Women of 2012,’ and Sofia came in at number one, beating out her number three spot from last year.

Last year’s number one was Blake Lively, who came in this year as number 32. And yes, I’m pretty sure this list doubles as Leonardo DiCaprio's 'to-do' list. K I can cross that one off, now only 75 more to go...

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton came in second and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s Rooney Mara came in third. Talk about polar opposites. Just goes to show you ladies, no matter what you’re look is, there are men out there who love it.
May I have a drum roll please!!! [insert drum roll sound]

There are reports that Beyonce and Jay-Z have just released the names of the Godfather and Godmother of their new baby Blue Ivy Carter and the Godmother is Oprah Winfrey!

The most famous baby in the world, has two of the most famous parents ever and now Oprah is her Godmother?! Why don’t they just make GOD the Godfather?
Reason number one: to get paid. What, you need more reasons?

Jessica Alba is advising Beyonce to sell the first pictures of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

“For our family, we just wanted to control the experience,” Alba said regarding her own decision to sell photos of her daughter, Honor, in 2008.

Alba and her husband, Cash Warren, reportedly received $1.5 million from OK! magazine for those photos.
Okay, it’s probably not a mood ring, but I swear, I wore something similar when I was twelve. And it didn’t cost half a mil.

Jay-Z made his first appearance has a new dad last night, during the re-opening of his club, 40/40. And somehow, he didn’t fall down and collapse under the giant-ass ring that his wife, Beyonce, got him.
When you're a club owner, you can go out and party and call it "work."

And Jay-Z is back to work. The new dad of Beyonce's baby, Blue Ivy Carter, made his first public appearance since she was born earlier this month. The rapper re-launched his New York City nightclub, 40/40, and everyone was celebrating Blue Ivy's debut.

Jay-Z laid on a champagne tower create with 350 handmade gold Armand de Brignac bottles
Okay, I no longer know what to believe in the world of Beyonce. As far as I’m concerned, Beyonce and Jay-Z are now SIM characters created by some bored teenager in his parents’ basement.

Earlier this week, Star UK published what was touted as Beyonce’s first post-pregnancy interview. It said things like “[Jay-Z] is a very protective husband” and “You have that instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you.”
