LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Beyonce baby due date for Christmas 2011 is prompting debate. The official Beyonce due date is not being announced by the singer to news. Beyonce recently told news that, for the baby’s safety, she is keeping the due date a secret. But recently, a major slip by Beyonce may have revealed all the details.

Initial reports had claimed that Beyonce’s due date was April 2012. By August of this year, LALATE first revealed that Beyonce’s correct due date was February 2012. Reportedly, Beyonce was reluctant at first to make the pregnancy announcement but couldn’t hold in the excitement. At the time Kelly Rowland told US Weekly that Beyonce had been pregnant “for quite a while”. “I think she’ll be an incredible mother, because she’s always been motherly,” Kelly Rowland told the newspaper. “She takes so many traits from her mother, and I just think it’s going to be so natural for her. It’s natural for her now!”

Then in August, LALATE reported that a February 2012 due date corresponded with changes Jay-Z had made to his Watch the Thorne tour. On August 2, 2011, Jay-Z told news that demand for his Watch The Tour had prompted concert date changes. Jay-Z dropped several key dates but didn’t pick them up in February. Instead, Jay-Z’s tour (ironically) ends weeks earlier. But were the concert change dates also made because of his wife’s due date?

Now, a new report claims that Beyonce’s due date is not February but three months earlier: December 2011. While recording a news interview on September 23, Beyonce said she was already six months pregnant. “Right now, I’m actually shooting the video for “Countdown” and I’m six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits. But thank God, you can’t really tell from the front, but when I turn to the side … oh baby! Oh baby!”

So why is Beyonce hiding the due date? “There are certain things that are so far (out) … it doesn’t even upset you,” the singer told Katie Couric recently. “The truth is, it’s safety. I just want to make sure I can have a peaceful day. And I want to make sure my child is protected.”

So is Beyonce’s due date this Christmas 2011? The Bey-Bey details might be with Jay-Z’s tour date. Jay-Z wraps up his rescheduled Watch the Tour just weeks earlier on December 18. His final stop is Vancouver, British Columbia. Jay-Z changed his December tour days after Beyonce announced her pregnancy.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Beyonce is not dead. The cause of the fake Beyonce confusion Sunday is a new “R.I.P. Beyonce” Facebook page created by someone clearly wishing to kill off the hit singer, yet again. Beyonce was erroneously reported dead earlier this year through Twitpic and Photoshop. Last year it was through Twitter. But starting at roughly 2:30 PM PST, the R.I.P. Beyonce page has been adding roughly ten “likes” every three minutes.

When celebrity fake death reports start, the source of the false claims is often hard to determine. Sometimes it’s the dubious Global Associated. Through its templates and dynamic changing dates on its fictional stories, celebrity fans have been told about reoccurring tales. The stories, from car crashes to plane crashes, are all false.

One such fabricated story often generating false news is the Zermatt story.  It reads in part “The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that her lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.” The locations Zermatt, Route 80, and New Zealand cliffs, are shuffled along with snowboarding, hiking, and crash stories. The victims are either music, film, and sometimes sports celebrities.

But often the fake death reports come from a different source. In 2010, a fake Beyonce death story surfaced via twitter. On January 7, 2010 false Beyonce dead reports followed less than 24 hours after fake Tila Tequila and Justin Bieber stories.

But in August 2011, Beyonce suffered a new breed of fake death reports fueled by Twitpics and Photoshop. Someone that weekend took a picture of Beyonce, then took a screengrab of a leading news website. With the use of Photoshop, they inserted Beyonce’s picture into the screengrab and added the caption that Beyonce had died. They then tweeted the Twitpic. Fans who saw the picture believed they were looking at a real, current screengrab of the website announcing Beyonce’s death.

But today’s beast comes from a Facebook page. The confusion making news is a “R.I.P Beyonce” page. At roughly 2:30 pm PST today, the page had only 150 likes. It’s currently at two-hundred thirty-five.

On Twitter, people are re-tweeting the Facebook perhaps without reading it. A quick perusal of the wall reveals that comments are not condolences. One person on the RIP page wrote of Beyonce’s fake death that it’s “so sad, indie punk will never be the same”. Another wrote “RIP Beyonce death metal will never be the same”.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Alexsandra Wright (photos below) claims Mathew Knowles wanted to have their son faked as Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby. Alexsandra Wright is the mistress who had a son with Matthew Knowles during his marriage to Beyonce’s mother, Tina. But in a shocking news interview, Wright now claims that Matthew had an alleged master plan to change his child’s life.

Alexsandra Wright claims that, when Mathew Knowles found out Wright was pregnant with their son, he allegedly told Wright to give up their son to Beyonce and Jay-Z and have the boy raised as Beyonce and Jay-Z’s kid. What was Wright’s reaction? “My first thought when he asked me if I would give up our child to Beyonce and Jay-Z was, ‘Are you out of your mind?’ ” she tells Star Magazine.

Wright had an affair with Beyonce’s father for 18 months. Ultimately Tina Knowles divorced Matthew and Beyonce dropped her father as her manager. But Wright claims that Beyonce and Jay-Z never knew about Matthew’s alleged plan for the boy.

“Nothing in the world, no amount of money would make me give up my child, you can’t buy my child from me!…Maybe Mathew thought money could buy anything … I don’t know why he suggested it.”

In October 2009, LALATE first broke details of a paternity suit by Wright. She now claims, however, that Knowles allegedly offered to pay her money not to put his name on the boy’s birth certificate. She refused. She claims that Matthew Knowles has still never seen his son Nixon. Ultimately, Wright proved Knowles was the child’s father. Wright now dates Harvey Wheldo.

“I don’t believe that Beyonce or anybody else has a clue about what was flying out of Mathew’s mouth. I don’t think it was anybody but Mathew.”

In March this year, Beyonce split professionally from her father. “I’ve only parted ways with my father on a business level,” Beyonce said in a news statement. “He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me.” He added in part “Business is business and family is family. I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success.”

Knowles, Beyonce, and Jay-Z have yet to comment about the news report.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – While reports of Beyonce’s due date surfaced yesterday, the news came just weeks after Jay-Z told press of changes to his Watch the Throne Tour dates. On August 2, 2011, Jay-Z told news that demand for his Watch The Tour had prompted concert date changes. But at that time, there was no explanation why certain cities dropped from the tour weren’t added later on. So why wasn’t the tour extended into January? As reported on Monday, Beyonce’s due date is in February.

Jay-Z and Beyonce are reportedly hoping for a baby boy. The due date is sometime in February 2012. Jay-Z wraps up his rescheduled Watch the Tour just weeks earlier on December 18. His final stop is Vancouver, British Columbia.

At the time when the tour was been reworked, Jay-Z made no mention of Beyonce’s pregnancy. He told Angie Martinez just several days ago “That’s an old list we had to push that back, because it was like, we tried to put it out in pre-order and all the lines got jammed”.

He added “We pushed it back to really route it and put other dates on there. We’ll probably put four New York dates there instead.” He said “all the [telephone] lines got jammed”. Kelly Rowland told news this week that Beyonce has been pregnant for several months.
