Beyonce on her post-baby body: “There are no secrets. Discipline.”

I still can’t get over Beyonce’s Givenchy gown at the Met Gala. It’s been days and I’m still thinking about this hideousness. How did the House of Givenchy allow Beyonce to walk out with this dress? Did they send it to her, all “Girl, this dress will look AMAZING on you”? Or did Beyonce make the call? Was she all “THIS is the dress, y’all, these feathers are going to steal the damn show!” I tend to believe Bey made the call and the Givenchy people were secretly horrified. Although… they designed this crap, not Beyonce. They should be ashamed of themselves. Anyway, while Beyonce was on the Met Gala carpet, she only granted one interview, to Entertainment Tonight. In the piece, Beyonce confirms that she wants more kids (pillows?):

Blue Ivy Carter may not be a “Single Lady” forever. At the Met Gala in New York City Monday, new mom Beyonce Knowles, 30, said she and husband Jay-Z, 42, have talked about expanding their brood. “I definitely want to have more,” Knowles told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t know how many. God knows. I don’t know yet.”

Just don’t expect a pregnancy announcement in the near future. “I don’t know about soon!” Knowles giggled.

The singer — who is currently rehearsing for a special three-night engagement over Memorial Day Weekend at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey — added that she has “such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.”

Knowles said she’s “been working really hard” to get her post-baby back. “There are no secrets. [It takes] discipline!”

She’s not kidding. The 16-time Grammy Award winner works out five days a week with trainer Marco Borges. “We do cardio and plyometric moves like lunges and jumps on and off a bench,” the pro recently told Us Weekly.

Knowles, who is 5-foot-9, avoids processed fare and sticks to whole foods like vegetables and grilled meats. “You don’t have to eat only celery sticks,” Borges advised. “Be sensible and exercise constantly.”

[From Us Weekly]

I giggled when Beyonce said “there are no secrets” to how she got her body back after the baby. Girl, keep trying to convince us. I love that she keeps trying. And don’t you love how the stories about her workouts keep changing? She says one thing to People Magazine, her trainer says another thing to Us Weekly, then Beyonce mentions to ET that she hasn’t been working out that much… except for “dancing, eight hours, nine hours a day.” Hahahaha. Wait, is she serious?

    Discipline indeed – almost sounds like she’s implying if you don’t get it together as fast as she did, you’re not disciplined. Women with “discipline” who have less time to spare following a pregnancy (or want to allocate more time towards face time with baby) will get back in shape, too. Just slower.

      A thousand times agree. I know so many mum who hate being away from their kids but they have to work or go to school. She has enough money to spend some time with her kid. I’m not saying stop working devote every hour of the day to a baby but she just gave birth for god’s sake. Take a few months with the baby. Bond. If you don’t want to do that then I don’t get the point of having a baby. Like the poster above … sometimes it seems like babies are just accessories to these people.

      Wait! You think it’s because of the controversy surrounding her “pregnancy”?? I’ve always thought it was her inability to stream together two coherent sentences.

      My daughter loves her and always wanted me to check out her interviews. When she opened her mouth, her speech didn’t match the image SOMEBODY has been trying to project.

      She’s a lovely girl but she should just stay in her lane…

It feels like she is trying to prove something, trying to be more *real* after the fakeness that surrounded this pregnancy. I used to like her, mostly because she was not a desperate attention seeking slore but now she is beyond obnoxious. Please go take several seats maam!

    Is Beyonce really only 30?? That means she was only 15 when Destiny’s Child put out their first album. That doesn’t seem right. I was 17 that year and I thought they were all older than I was at the time.

      I think she’s closer to 35 than 30. Around the time the B’Day album came out and the tour she was 27 for three years or something. I think she was 18-19 when that first album with DC came out. No way she was only 15. No way. A surprising amount of celebs lie about their age, actually.

        ‘Morning (or is it afternoon for you?) Asli! :)
        When I first started reading about the theories behind the fake pillow pregnancy I thought it was the most ridiculous stuff I have ever read-just sounded so outlandish/unbelieavable. But now I am convinced she faked it. It kind of makes sense too because it is probably easier for her to keep lying than to have admitted that they were having issues conceiving (if that was indeed the problem-who knows?). Anyway, she could have done women and society in general a favor by admitting that she used a surrogate. I know it’s essentially none of our business but it would have helped to destigmatize the idea of surrogacy instead of keeping it a “dirty little secret”. Then again, she would have had to *sacrifice* her and her hubby’s image as the perfect power couple. SMH…

        It’s afternoon :)

        I completely agree. I thought it was the craziest thing I had ever heard but then I started looking into it and then I saw the timeline on Smokiesays.com (I think) and it didn’t seem that crazy anymore. Coupled with all the lying, stealing and cheating she’s done over the years I don’t think her faking a pregnancy is outlandish. If I only knew what she was putting out there and projecting to the media then yeah, I wouldn’t believe it but I did alot of research on her. She’s not what she’s pretending to be – no one in Hollywood is but Bey’s particularly shady.

        About the image – so true! They are extremely image concious. They want their relationship to seem like the relationship of all relationship. They ‘did it right’. They dated, then married, then had a kid. That’s what people always say. I think that’s why they try to keep Jay’s kid a secret. Can’t spoiled the illusion, can we now? I feel sad for the kid. It’s like the Evangelista – FHP deal, only the mother was never famous and she was paid off.

      Right. She sould not have gotten that press. She wasn’t even invited. Her sister Solange was and got Beyonce in. She couldn’t let her sister enjoy her invite. Beyonce had to be the showstopper.

    Sorry to be naive but the pillow-bump theory still has me scratching my head. If true, it’s a cover-up of massive proportions! Wouldn’t all of her friends and family have to be involved? Because when you’re pregnant, you kind of can’t get away from friends and family wanting to touch your tummy and feel the baby kick. So Beyonce asking all of her loved ones to commit to such a huge lie for her… I don’t know, that just seems preposterous to me. Or do the pillow-bump theorists think her friends and family were just as duped as the rest of us?

    Being rich and having all the help in the world certainly makes being fit easier, but it doesn’t necessarily guarantee it – look at Oprah’s weight struggles.

    Exercising is not enjoyable / does not come naturally for everyone! Unless it does, being on any kind of exercise regimen takes discipline. I’m currently on summer break from school with nothing to do – work hasn’t started yet – and I’m still having trouble taking my ass to the gym as often as I should :/

    Why would a hospital be complicit in a “fake” birth? How is it that she and her posse could go into a hospital for a week to fake having a baby? Did the surrogate check into the ward instead of her? I’m mystified and would appreciate comments!

    • CaramelKiss says:

      The hospital may not have been complicit with the admittance of her…however, depending on whomever leaked the news to the media outlets would be. As HIPAA(Health Privacy Act)is the end-all of be-all for any level of privacy in this country, hospitals do not and cannot police/monitor what has been incorrectly announced nor owe any obligation to correct such statements. If it was the surrogate/gestational carrier instead being admitted, the hospital is not legally bound in any way for what the media reports.

      As far as I can tell, the hospital has done nothing wrong legally; they never released info about her or anything, which would violate HIPAA. The doctors and nurses aren’t allowed to say anything; all the hospital had to do was provide a suite.
      The birth certificate – I believe – would bear the name of the legal parents, not of a surrogate. (I think the baby is biologically Beyonce & Jay Z’s but they used a surrogate to carry it).
      Probably the Carters made a hefty donation to the hospital (i hope so).

    i gotta say the pillow prop was hard for me to believe until & BUT as a mom who experienced labor not once but twice it was something she said about being in labor for “a long time” or was it “a really long time”. so just like LiLo couldn’t really name how many days of sobriety she had (remember that) Beyonce couldn’t blurt out that rite of passage all women who have had a baby know that they know and are proud to admit. I can name it to the hour and minute for both of my kids even with 26 & 28 years gone by. something you go thru alone & don’t really forget @ least in my time-I can’t speak for them long ago ether days.

This is the Met, you don’t go to the Met with your ass cheeks out! She had an opportunity to show some class and instead she chose to try to outdress and outshine everyone else. And why does Mr. Talking Llama opt out of so many things? He never goes to these things with her. I agree with an above post. She is not that bright, but tries super hard to appear smart. I wish she would just STFD for a while and stop with the tacky regalia and silly interviews.
