Beyonce's mum reject pregnancy rumours: Tina Knowles says that if all the baby bump rumours about her daughter had been true over the years, she should have five or six grandchildren by now. "No, no it's not true. Not right now," Ms Knowles said when asked about the report by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Us Weekly magazine this week published a story saying Beyonce, 29, and her husband rapper Jay-Z were expecting their first child. Despite Ms Knowles' denial, an Us Weekly spokeswoman says "we stand by our reporting". A spokesman for Beyonce says he never comments on speculation about her private life.
