Skinny VS Curvy

At high request, here’s a post on the most controversial body-related topic of the week: Beyonce’s baby bump, its ever-changing size  and the conspiracy theories that surround it. The debates intensified this week, when Beyonce (who is allegedly 4 and a half months pregnant) made an appearance during the Australian show Sunday Night, where, at one point, the singer’s stomach looked ‘suspicious’, as if either the dress or something under it ‘folded’. See more photos here!

There are 2 conspiracy theories out there supported by various media sources:
1. That Beyonce is indeed pregnant, but she is not showing as much as she would like, so she uses padding to make a true baby bump statement for promotional purposes (just like some celebs use butt pads, padded bras and so on.) This theory also claims that at ‘almost 3 months pregnant’, when B made her announcement at the VMAs, her tummy looked considerably bigger for that stage of the pregnancy, bigger that in the bikini shots or compared to candid shots.. See her at the VMAs here!
2. That Beyonce is not pregnant and that she will have a baby via surrogate or adoption. The ones that sustain this theory say that Beyonce’s baby bump that was spotted in a bikini right after the VMAs was just a ‘full belly’. See the bikini shot below and more here.

What is your take on this? Must share your thoughts!

Actress Emily Deschanel (who is currently pregnant and vegan) has a little quote for you:

“In Hollywood there’s so much pressure to appear a certain way — to be skinny and to look young. When I was growing up, I never cared about whether I was pretty or not. But when I was 12, a friend’s mom told me I was flat-chested and had fat thighs.”

“That really hurt my feelings and it kind of scarred me. I started becoming aware of how other people judged me.”

… says Emily.

Jessica Alba is the covergirl of Latina Magazine this month, where she talks about pregnancy style, her insecurities and looking too ‘racially ambiguous’:

On showing off your shape: “If you are sporting a pregnant belly, it’s better to show it than to hide it. If you look in the mirror and you look really wide and frumpy, then you’re going to appear really wide and frumpy. The more figure forming your clothes, even though you have more curves, the better. I like long, thin sweaters that kind of hide my hips and my booty, so there’s not a huge emphasis on how big they’re getting.”
 
On her insecurities: “I was a lot more insecure when I was younger. I was very sensitive to criticism. Now I’m definitely a lot more self-assured.” In 2008, she told Latina: “All of the stuff I got made fun of as a kid– bubble butt, fish lips, the dark skin – I’m proud of now.”
 
On landing her breakthrough role:“I certainly knew the significance of Dark Angel because I knew how difficult it was just to get to that point. A lot of people didn’t even give me a chance based on how racially ambiguous I looked.”
