“Keep the media guessing,” singer tells her BFF

Kim Kardashian is papped so much that it would be impossible for her to be close friends with another celebrity without the world knowing. Even if that happened, she would probably not be able to refrain from boasting about it on social media.

So, while it’s clear that she and Beyonce are not friends, the tabs and their unnamed sources love to believe that they are. This seems to be the case with Hollywood Life and their “insider,” who’s come forward to explain how Beyonce has been helping Kim out through her second pregnancy.

Bey tells Kim: keep the media guessing

The other day, Kim posted to her Instagram the photo below, in which she’s showing off her baby bump. She and husband Kanye West are expecting a boy this December.

The photo attached to this article was snapped on the same day, as you can tell from Kim’s outfit. However, her bump appears considerably smaller, which has sparked some speculation on how she’s “faking” her pregnancy, either by using padding to make the bump bigger or by using Spanx to make it smaller. The Internet can’t decide which is which.

According to Hollywood Life, it’s all a trick on the eye and Kim is playing it deliberately. She’s got some counsel from Beyonce for that, though.  

“Kim reached out to Beyonce and had a good laugh about [the fake pregnancy rumors]. The Internet went wild with speculation that Beyonce faked her pregnancy too, so she knows all about it. And like Kim, Beyonce liked keeping the media guessing,” says a spy.

Bey advised Kim to use large coats and oversized accessories to hide her bump from the paparazzi, and at the same time, make it appear bigger or smaller, depending on her wish. The idea is to keep the media guessing, because that’s guaranteed to keep her in the headlines.

About Beyonce’s “fake” pregnancy

In 2011, Beyonce announced that she was expecting her first child at the end of a music performance, by opening up her coat, rubbing her tummy and winking at the camera.

The baby bump watch had officially started, and in just a matter of weeks, it had dug up plenty of stuff for discussion.

Not only did Beyonce’s bump seem to differ in size from one appearance to another, even if they were just one day apart, but then, during a live TV interview, as she sat down, it folded as if it was a deflated beach ball.

See the photo in the gallery to better understand how it happened. According to speculation online, Beyonce didn’t sit down like a pregnant woman would. This caused the prosthetic bump to fold in half, which gave her away that she wasn’t really carrying, just faking it.

All of these are just allegations, of course. But they do make up one of the most controversial celebrity scandals in recent years, to the point where people are still talking about it.
