Beyonce Knowles Scandal With Jay-Z's: Making the most of their time overseas,  Beyonce Knowles and  Jay-Z were spotted continuing their romantic holiday in Portoferraio, Italy. The “Say My Name” songstress and her “99 Problems” rapper hubby strolled around town with some friends as the paparazzi looked on from afar.

In related news, Ms. Knowles recently explained how she got so passionate about charity work- it all began when she was just a young church girl. “Pastor Rudy [Rasmus] is still my pastor. I watched my parents get involved in [community charities] there, and that taught me how important it is to ‘give ’til it hurts.’ I saw how happy you could make people, whether just giving someone a hug, having a conversation or spending some time, and it became a part of me.”

Solange Knowles doesn't want her three-year-old son, Daniel, to go into the family business.

"I'd love for him to be talented in other things," Beyoncé's 22-year-old little sister says. "I hope that he wants to be a...computer engineer."

Since giving birth to Daniel—when she was just 18—we haven't seen or heard much from Solange...

But these days, she's everywhere, because she has a new album to promote. Her sophomore effort, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, will be released August 26.

This is as fabulous as it gets for Knowles. "I don't have a life in Hollywood," Knowles told me the other day while running errands in L.A. "I don't do s--t. Just work. I come home and take my son to the movies. I don't go out. It's only like the BET Awards or something like that, that I actually do something."

Then there's her serious side. Just look at the video for the new album's first single, the Pharell Williams-written "I Decided." Depicted throughout are archival footage and photographs from key moments in American history, like the Civil Rights movement.

"6 O'Clock Blues," a collaboration with Amy Winehouse's Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson, hits on Hurricane Katrina and poverty, among other issues.

"I wouldn't say that I'm political, but I'm definitely aware," Knowles said.

But in the very next breath, she cooed, "I do have Obama fever."

She met the presidential hopeful at a dinner not too long ago. "It was crazy because I had all these questions I wanted to ask him," Knowles recalled. "But once I got in the midst of his presence, I totally felt like I was meeting a rock star."

Unlike her obsessively private older sister, Knowles has no problem opening up about her personal life. She married football player Daniel Smith while she was pregnant with their son, but they divorced about three years later. However, she won't let that spoil her dreams of finding love again. "I got married at 17, so I won't judge from that one experience," she said with a laugh.

Snoop Dogg has some advice for his friends Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles. The musical couple were married in April.

According to People.com, Snoop told them, "to go home and make babies. They should, that's the next step as far as marriage, having kids ... add on to the family, so hopefully that's what they'll do."

Snoop speaks from experience as he has been married for a decade and has three children.

Snoop spoke about the couple, and his own life, at the Dodge Celebrity Event in Rosamond, California. When asked if he planned on following his own advice and having more kids, he responded, "No, I'm good."

When asked what led to the success of his long marriage, he said, "Communication, and being able to fight and get back up. To have misunderstanding and [then] get some understanding."

The newlyweds have purchased a home in Scarsdale, a quiet New York suburb close to where they got married last month.

The colonial-style house has reportedly been under construction for six months and the 15,000 sq ft property is situated on two acres of land.

Quiet Scarsdale is very different from where the couple’s current home is a penthouse apartment in New York’s trendy TriBeCa district.

The first indicator that the couple were planning to marry came when they registered for a license in Scarsdale in April.

Shortly after applying for permission to wed, Beyonce and Jay-Z exchanged vows in a private ceremony at a chapel in Scarsdale Village.

Reports then emerged that the former Destiny’s Child star may be pregnant.

Last year, Beyonce insisted she wouldn't pressurise 38-year-old Jay-Z into having children, saying: "You can't rush a man into anything whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children. When he's ready he'll let you know."

Music stars Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z applied for a marriage license on April 4 but their representatives refuse to confirm the widespread rumors.

Among the guests of the two phenomenal singers were former Destiny's Child singers Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Kanye West, Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles, Beyonce's sister Solange and Jay-Z's mother Gloria Carter, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.

Singer actress Beyonce Knowles and R&B hip hop magnate Jay-Z, whose real name Shawn Carter, are officially married based on paperwork from Scarsdale, New York.

The two tied the knot at the rapper's apartment in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood last April 4.

Based on website, on April 1, the couple "applied for a marriage license" quoted from Scarsdale Town Clerk Donna Conkling.

"They were very low-key and weren't dressed up," said Donna Conkling, Scarsdale Town Clerk. "The couple took the license home that day" she said as the couple signed the documents and mailed it in after the ceremony last April 4. "We received it back on Friday."

Following reports that Beyonce Knowles is pregnant, her father Matthew remained coy when questioned about the prospect of becoming a grandfather.

The New York Post yesterday claimed that the Crazy In Love singer is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z.

However, when Beyonce’s manager father was questioned by Us magazine, he retorted: "They said that a month ago. We don't comment. We just let people make fools of themselves."

Do you think the newlyweds are expecting their first child? Be sure to leave your comments below.

Bootylicious pop star Beyonce Knowles is pregnant with her first child, friends have confirmed.

The Crazy In Love singer - who married rapper Jay-Z in a secret ceremony last month - has reportedly been indulging in all her favourite calorific goodies since discovering she is expecting her first child.

A pal told the New York Post newspaper: "She has gained a lot of pregnancy weight. When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox, but not now."

Beyonce further fuelled speculation she is pregnant after she was spotted in New York this week sporting what appeared to be a baby bump.

A source close to the couple said: "I've heard from at least two people that Beyonce is pregnant."

Following the couple's April wedding ceremony, actress Vivica A Fox revealed it wouldn't be long before they started a family, saying: "I wish them many, many years of happiness and some babies. I think she will be really pretty pregnant, just like Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry."

It was claimed the couple “rushed” forward their nuptials as Beyonce was determined to tie the knot before her baby bump started to show.

Last year, Beyonce insisted she wouldn't pressurise 38-year-old Jay-Z into having children, saying: "You can't rush a man into anything whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children. When he's ready he'll let you know."

Beyonce Knowles and her husband Jay-Z are allegedly expecting their first child together. Insiders claim Knowles has stopped the Def Jam detox to gain pregnancy weight.

“She has gained a lot of pregnancy weight. When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox, but not now,” says a friend of the couple.

A rep for the singer has said, “I don’t know if she’s pregnant. Let me perform an ultrasound and get back to you.”

R+B singer KELLY ROWLAND has laughed off reports her close pal BEYONCE KNOWLES is pregnant, insisting her former DESTINY'S CHILD bandmate would be "mad" if she heard the latest rumours.
Reports Knowles is expecting surfaced online last month (Apr08), just days after her secret New York wedding to hip-hop superstar Jay-Z.
The newlyweds have so far refused to confirm they have become husband and wife, let alone address the pregnancy rumours, but Rowland - who was a guest at their nuptials - insists Knowles is not about to enter motherhood.
However, Rowland has also continued to dodge questions about the widely reported wedding, saying: "Everybody keeps talking about this wedding that supposedly happened. That's a question that you'd have to ask her!"
Of the baby rumours, the Work singer laughs, "You know what's funny about this, all three of us (Destiny's Child members) have been pregnant at one time. We were on stage and supposedly we looked pregnant!
"I think that it happens, people say that all the time and there are so many rumours about a wedding, so many rumours about so much stuff that it (Beyonce being pregnant) is probably next in line.
"I mean, even before (there were) the wedding rumours (there) were baby rumours; before the wedding rumours there were wedding rumours, you know what I mean? So, no, there's no truth to that. She would be mad, she'd be like, 'I'm what?'"

A photo of an allegedly 15-year-old and pregnant Beyonce Knowles has surfaced on the Web. Urban gossip blog, Bossip.com has published a photo of a young girl in a black tee and ripped jeans, with an heavily pregnant belly. The girl's appearance is strikingly similar to that of the pop star. The photo was sent to the blog by an anonymous reader.

Singer/actress Beyonce is not publicly known to have any children, making the photo (if confirmed authentic) a shocking development in the life story of the super star.

Meanwhile, Beyonce's husband of just over a month, rapper Jay-Z is dealing with his own controversial secret love child. A woman from Trinidad claims that the rap star, born Shawn Carter, fathered a son with her after the two met on a video shoot in 2001.

Some gossip sources also question whether Beyonce is currently pregnant and whether her pregnancy prompted the couple's small and hushed wedding ceremony on April 4.
