While Beyonce Knowles still won’t confirm the existence of her April 4 wedding to rapper Jay-Z, a friend has come forward to the New York Post and said that, not only is the marriage real, but rumours of a shock pregnancy are true as well!

According to the pal, the former Destiny’s Child singer is pregnant with the couple’s first child, and that the surprise pregnancy was the reason behind the sudden nuptials.

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

Knowles’ rep made light of the situation, turning the rumours that the singer is pregnant into a running joke.

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

Rumour has it that former Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce Knowles is up the duff… and that her shock pregnancy was the real reason behind her speedy wedding.

In just three short days from when Knowles and partner Jay-Z first applied for a marriage license in New York, the pair were wed, leaving the media to speculate whether their dazzling nuptials were a cover-up to hide an upcoming baby.

I’m not sure either way, but it is plausable. How many other celebs have done the shotgun wedding thing when a surprise pregnancy happens to pop up?

In addition to the details I posted earlier, the New York wedding of singers Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z is rumoured to be a small one, with the tables beneath the tent set up for about 30 guests.

According to The E-Biz, Jay-Z’s gym room has been set up for Beyonce to use as her dressing room, with a vanity and flowers moved in for the big day.

The ceremony is said to have started at 4 p.m., with guests being asked to wear ivory only on their invitations.

And perhaps the biggest update of all… Beyonce and Jay-Z plan on having not one, but two weddings! An insider has just revealed that a second, possibly larger wedding is already being planned to take place in France in a month’s time.

“It’s going to be May 4 in France,” the source said.

The pictures (above and below) are of Jay-Z’s New York residence as it was in the process of being set-up for the surprise wedding.

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures!

It’s happening today!!

The surprise nuptials of musos Beyonce & Jay-Z look to be on despite the poor weather, as floral arrangements, candelabras, and a big white tent have just been delivered to Jay-Z’s Tribeca apartment building.

A source said: “It’s [happening] tonight! A lot of their friends are booking hotel rooms.”

Earlier in the day, workers “erected” the white tent on the top of Jay-Z’s apartment block. As soon as the tent was up, an SUV arrived carrying AV equipment, as well as numerous deliveries of party rentals and flowers.

Another source told People.com today: “Amy’s Orchids was hired to provide 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms from Thailand for a ‘big party.’”

As if that wasn’t enough proof that a wedding is taking place today, waiters outside the building were seen practicing their service for the event to come, and a source hanging around the proceedings revealed that Jay-Z’s spinner pal, DJ Cassidy, would be in charge of the entertainment at the reception.

“Cassidy mentioned a week ago that he was really excited for the Jay-Z and Beyonce wedding party to happen,” the source added.

Other close friends of the couple have been arriving in New York in droves over the past few days. Producer Rodney Jerkins, who is a friend to both Beyonce and Jay-Z, and also worked with Beyonce in the studio, arrived two days ago, as well as former Destiny’s Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

“It’s about time,” producer pal Dallas Austin said. “I think it’s great that they’re getting married.”

We first heard news of a possible wedding between the long-time couple on Tuesday, when they were seen purchasing a marriage license in Scarsdale, New York.

The buzz in the entertainment world is that singers Beyonce & Jay-Z, who picked up a marriage license in New York earlier in the week, have set a wedding date already.

Sources close to the couple have announced that the loved-up pair are set to wed on Friday, April 4th… as in TOMORROW!!

I guess we’ll soon find out whether or not this is a bunch of hocus pocus…

Beyonce Knowles and her muso beau Jay-Z have reportedly taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale, New York.

The document, which is valid for a period of 60 days, was obtained by the long-time couple on Tuesday morning.

A rep for Ms. Knowles has given the statement of “No comment,” while a spokesperson for Jay-Z has not been reached at this time.

The pair have been dating since 2002.

He might only be the head of her record label, but rapper Jay-Z has now taken control of young singing sensation Rihanna’s love life, shouting out a warning to any possible suitors: If they want to date the 19-year-old, they have to go through him!

Rihanna herself explained the situation to People: “I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me.”

“He’s very protective.”

“Jay has my best interests in mind. If it’s a good guy I know Jay won’t shut him down. But if he’s not, Jay will be like, ‘No, no, no.’”

Jay-Z takes his protective role so seriously that Rihanna doesn’t even know who the guys are that want to date her.

“He actually never tells me. I have no clue who they are and I guess I’ll never know.”

Maybe he’s only stopping her from dating so he can have Rihanna all to himself?? After all, there was a rumour a while back that he was having an affair with the young star, and she is better looking than Beyonce, and from what I’ve heard, much less of a diva…

Three of the biggest egos in show business, Tyra Banks, Beyonce Knowles and Kimora Lee (in no particular order, mind you), spent a girls’ night out, courtside, at a recent Knick’s game.

Tyra, Beyonce and Kimmy hugged, screamed, kissed and drank their way through the basketball game, shocking on-lookers, who were more surprised to see so many big heads fit on one front row seat, then they were to actually see the celebs!

Oh, and Jay-Z came, too.

More images after the jump.

In an attempt to quell the rumours that she and boyfriend Jay-Z are on the verge of splitting up, Beyonce Knowles has treated him to a lavish romantic getaway in Mexico.

The couple stayed in a $11,000-a-night villa in Punta de Mita, and also attended a Coldplay concert in Mexico City.

Onlookers said that during their stay, the singing duo looked far fro unhappy.

“They were constantly hugging, smiling and looking very in love. They laid low in the villa, swam in the pool and hung out on the beach.”

We told you to look out for Beyonce at one of boyfriend Jay-Z’s Aussie concerts – and it looks like Beyonce decided to make an appearance…of sorts…

During Jay-Z’s ‘Roc Tha Block’ concert in Melbourne on Saturday night, a black-clad ‘gangsta’ with visibly ‘female-looking’ hands and vivid red nail polish emerged on stage to ‘pimp it up’ with Jay-Z and his posse.

We’re not entirely sure that is was Beyonce, as the ‘gangsta’s’ face was covered in a hood and a black bandana…but no other ‘peep’ on stage had his or her identity kept secret from the audience, so who else could it be but Beyonce?

Also, more concrete evidence that the ‘gangsta’ is in fact Beyonce…my source, Gossip Rocks, says that a picture on pap powerhouse Getty Images has a caption which states that it’s ‘Beyonce on stage with Jay-Z.’

What more proof do we need, folks?
