Beyonce Who You Callin' Pregnant?
Pregnancy rumors be damned, Beyonce wore a slew of form-fitting outfits during her tour stop in Milan last night.
Bey has thus far neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, only attacking the press with an Instagram post she quickly deleted. Multiple outlets say they have confirmed Mrs. Carter is pregnant with baby #2, and many point to the fact she canceled a show last week ... citing good ol' "dehydration and exhaustion."
When we asked yesterday, 81% of you said you thought Beyonce was preggers. After looking at these pics, we ask again ...
Beyonce Slams Pregnancy Rumors ... But Doesn't Deny Them
Beyonce posted (and quickly deleted from Instagram) a harsh response to the rumors she's carrying baby #2 ... bashing the media as "low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me."
It's an odd response to a pregnancy rumor -- it's not like reports are saying she's hooked on drugs or splitting from hubby Jay-Z. A simple "Yes it's true" or "No it isn't" would solve the problem ... but she opted for neither.
So we gotta ask ...
Kelly Rowland Beyonce's Pregnant?! WHAT?!?!
Former "Destiny's Child" singer Kelly Rowland had NO IDEA Beyonce was pregnant with a second child ... either that, or she deserves an Oscar for the performance she just gave in a L.A. parking lot.
Kelly was on her way out of a cafe when we asked how she felt about the latest reports ... that Beyonce is pregnant with baby #2 -- and Kelly looked totally flabbergasted, saying, "WHAT?!?!"
So we gotta ask ...

President Obama I'm Not Jay-Z's Travel Agent
President Obama is squashing Cubagate once and for all -- and it seems he's had it up to here with Jay-Z.
When POTUS was asked about the trip on "Today" ... you could see him bristle. At first he tried being diplomatic, and finally in a moment of frustration groused, "We've got better things to do."
Jay-Z sparked controversy when he rapped in "Open Letter" -- "Obama said chill ‘You gonna get me impeached' ... We don’t need this s**t anyway chill with me on the beach.'"
The question now ... Is Jay-Z persona non grata at the White House? That tends to happen when you embarrass the Prez. If that's the case, Michelle's 50th BD is gonna be awkward, because Beyonce is slated to sing ... or lip sync.
White House Obama Did NOT Rap With Jay-Z About Cuba
The Hova Flap is Ovah! ... so says Prez Obama's press secretary.
Jay Carney told White House reporters ... the only reason Jay-Z implicated Obama in his new song is because it's hard to find something that rhymes with treasury.
As you know, in Hova's song, "Open Letter," he raps, "Obama said chill, 'You gonna get me impeached.' We don't need this s*** anyway. Chill with me on the beach."
But Carney claims POTUS had zero contact with Jay-Z about the Cuba trip, and it was all handled by the Treasury Dept.
The best part ... you gotta hear the reporter feebly rap the lyrics. That's why they call it the WHITE House Press Corps.

Jay-Z Raps About Cuba Trip "Obama Said ‘You Gonna Get Me Impeached'"
President Barack Obama told Jay-Z he was worried the rapper's controversial trip to Cuba would cost him the White House ... this according to Jay-Z.
Hova just released a new rap, in which he addresses all of the drama surrounding his trip to Cuba last week with his wife Beyonce.
In the song, titled "Open Letter," Jay says ..."Politicians never did s**t for me ... except lie to me, distort history.”
He continues, "Obama said chill ‘You gonna get me impeached' ... We don’t need this s**t anyway chill with me on the beach.'"
The implication based on the lyric -- that Obama did something shady in helping Jay-Z and Beyonce get into Cuba and he could be in political hot water as a result.
There's more -- "I can turn Havana to Atlanta ... ballin’ too much they try to jam you."
“I’m in Cuba, I love Cubans.This Communist talk is so confusing.”

Beyonce & Jay-Z Cuba Trip Reportedly OK'd By U.S.
Jay-Z and Beyonce's trip to Cuba last week reportedly got the U.S. Treasury Department's stamp of approval.
A source tells Reuters, the two visited Cuba last week for their 5th anniversary on a fully licensed "cultural" trip.
As we reported, it's against the law for U.S. citizens to travel to the communist nation if it's purely for tourism ... but exceptions can be made in the form of "cultural exchange" licenses.
Then again, the government doesn't just dole out licenses ... you need to show good reason ... and so far, the justification is unclear.

In the process he dropped some Cuba knowledge ... explaining how to get in and out of the country ... legally.

Jay-Z and Beyonce Blasted for 'Ignorant and Insulting' Cuban Vacation
Jay-Z and Beyonce are clueless about the tortures happening in Cuba, and it's insulting they chose to visit the communist country for a celebration ... so says a Cuban rights lobbyist.
Mauricio Claver-Carone, the D.C. director for the US-Cuba Democracy PAC -- a group committed to fighting for democracy in Cuba -- tells TMZ the A-listers should've educated themselves about what's really going on there before taking photo ops.
Jay and Bey were photographed Thursday in Havana -- reportedly to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary -- but have since come under fire from some Cuban-American groups.
US citizens are still technically banned from traveling to the island purely for tourism ... and are supposed to obtain a travel license from the US government.
Mauricio says he's disappointed the superstars chose to vacay in Cuba because, "There are women getting beaten on a daily basis, women who are being jailed for no reason ... people are fighting for their freedom. It’s extremely insensitive."
We reached out to Beyonce and Jay-Z for comment. So far ... nada back.
Jay-Z & Beyonce Jet Down to Cuba to Play ... Ball?
Jay-Z and Beyonce celebrated their wedding anniversary with an opportunely timed trip to Cuba that raises some questions, like ... is this strictly for pleasure, or maybe a little business too?
B and 'Hova were photographed strolling all over Havana on Thursday ... their 5th anniversary.
Technically, US citizens are not supposed to travel to the communist nation from the states if it's purely for tourism ... though there are ways to skirt the travel ban.
For instance, travelers can obtain a "cultural exchange" license from the US government.
It's not clear if baseball qualifies as "cultural exchange" -- or if Jay and Beyonce obtained a travel license.
Just a theory, but we gotta ask ...

You're Beyonce and you just faked your way through "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of millions of people -- including the President -- what's your next move????
CHOWING DOWN ON CRAWFISH AND SWEET POTATO PIE!!!!
After Bey "performed" at the Inauguration Monday, she and Jay-Z jetted down to New Orleans -- and the first thing they did that night ... was hit up the famous Mother's Restaurant.
We're told B and J noshed on some serious comfort food ... crawfish etouffee, potato salad, double grits, french fries, catfish, and calamari ... PLUS sweet potato pie and bread pudding for dessert.
Based on the menu, the meal set 'em back under $100 ... but we're told the two were "very sweet" and tipped "extremely well."
So at least their $$$ was real.
