Reports from the website MediaTakeOut.com (take it with a grain of salt, people!) are saying that the debut of the newest member of the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jay-Z[/lastfm]/[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Beyonce[/lastfm] family… was a fake!

The big story from the MTV VMAs was that Beyonce was pregnant with her and HOV’s first child. Pictures clearly showed a baby bump for the diva and she was not shy about displaying the news, even rubbing her belly during her performance that night.

According to an insider in the industry, Beyonce IS in-fact pregnant, just not in her second trimester as the baby bump at the VMAs would suggest. It seems she is only about eight weeks pregnant and not even showing right now. Pictures from just a week before the awards show, show no baby bump at all.

Here are the before and after photos from a week before the VMAs… and at the VMAs.

You make the call… Was Beyonce faking the bump to make the announcement more dramatic?
