Is broody Beyoncé pregnant with baby No.2?

The singer Beyoncé is reportedly pregnant, claims a U.S. newspaper.

Pictures of the singer on stage in London appear to show the 31-year-old with an uncharacteristically rounded tummy.

And another report claims the singer's much derided Met Gala look was designed to conceal her growing pregnancy figure.

The 'Grown Woman' singer - who welcomed her first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, into the world in January 2012 - is said to be expecting again with her rapper husband Jay-Z.

The New York Post newspaper claims 'multiple sources' told them Beyoncé, 31, is pregnant following her attendance at the star-studded Met Ball last week, where the star's rumoured pregnancy was the talk of the night.

The pop superstar is said to have 'carefully' hidden her baby bump in a high-waisted Givenchy gown, but according to the report, multiple photos have surfaced of Beyoncé sporting a growing stomach on her 65-date 'Mrs. Carter Show' world tour, which touched down in Dublin, Ireland, on Sunday.

Blog Media Takeout ran photos showing the singer's rounded tummy.

The 'Girls (Run the World)' hitmaker's spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment by the newspaper, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - remained tight-lipped about her first pregnancy until sensationally announcing it live at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2011.

Beyoncé recently admitted she would love to give her 18-month-old daughter a sibling, because she enjoyed such a close relationship with her younger sister Solange Knowles, 26, when they were growing up.

She said: 'I would like more children. I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being a big sister.'

Dad problems: The singer's father reportedly owes the IRS $1.2 million in tax from the years 2010-2011

When pressed on when she may have another child, she added: 'At some point, when it's supposed to happen.'

In other family matters, Beyoncé's father Matthew Knowles has reportedly been landed with an approximately $1.2 million tax bill.

TMZ say the IRS claim he still owes taxes from 2010-2011, the years in which Matthew was still managing his daughter as well as his own record label.

The government has allegedly filed a large lien against Knowles, claiming he needs to pay $485,575.95 from 2010 and $728,004.89 from 2011, which comes to a total of $1,213,580.84.

From blonde to jet black: A bikini-clad Beyoncé dazzles with two seductive looks in new video

Beyoncé has always said there are two sides to her personality - the sweet girl next door and her provocative alter ego Sasha Fierce.

And now she has split herself in a dazzling new advert for clothing giant H&M - going from innocent blonde to seductive brunette.

In fact, the 31-year-old Crazy In Love singer looks almost unrecognisable with her jet black hair in the minute-long promotional video.

Filmed in the Bahamas, the gorgeous star looks perfect in a selection of bikinis and incredible dresses as she provocatively dances on the crisp white sands.

Aside from moving around to her new single Standing On The Sun, Beyoncé, who is performing as Mrs Carter in the video, writhes around in the crystal clear water in a clinging blue dress which shows off her incredibly muscly physique to perfection.

Her jet black hair serves to highlight her bright hazel eyes and the singer looks slimmer than ever in the advert.

With a trim stomach and toned legs it is hard to believe the Single Ladies singer gave birth in January last year.

And it is certain that the star will approve of the video, unlike pictures of her Superbowl appearance.

The outspoken mother of Blue Ivy has banned press photographers from her Mrs Carter Show World Tour in an apparent attempt to prevent the release of unflattering pictures.

The singer performs under her married name, the lyrics to her song include: 'Can you feel the heat on my skin / Can you feel my loving / You and me, we're standing on the sun.'

No photo credentials are to be granted for her concerts, her UK publicist has confirmed, and instead she's hired her own snapper, Frank Micelotta, to capture her in action - and her best angles.

Fstoppers.com revealed Beyonce's company Parkwood Entertainment is only giving out three to five pre-approved images shot to media after the show.

The photography ban comes after it was widely reported back in February that the singer's publicist had asked agencies or websites to remove 'unflattering' photos of Beyonce during the energetic performance at the Super Bowl.

After publishing the shots, Beyoncé’s US publicist wrote to one website 'Respectfully asking' them to 'change' their article. 'I am certain you will be able to find some better photos,' she wrote.

However, bloggers fear that the move by the diva's camp may backfire, with publications and websites instead buying in pictures from fans and amateurs.

'They thought by not letting photographers in, they will have full control over the photos shown in the media,' F-Stoppers blogger Noam Galai writes.

'Huge mistake. Now not only is the mainstream media showing unflattering photos of her, they are showing bad-quality unflattering photos of her.'

The three minute, 34 second clip also includes: 'I took my time to live my life but don’t think I’m just his little wife. Don’t get it twisted this is my sh*t.'

While the new track addresses her absence from the music industry and asserts her authority as Queen Bee of the charts, but the music is already causing controversy and dividing fans.

British fans might be familiar with some of the music in the second portion of the recording, a snippet of which accompanies the 02 Priority adverts filmed to promote the singer's UK tour dates.

It appears that the music is actually sections from two different songs, Bow Down is said to have been produced by Hit-Boy and Beyoncé is said to have worked with Timbaland on I Been On.

Plenty of the Destiny's Child star's fans welcomed the new music with one listener writing: 'Sorry I'm not sorry that @beyonce is a trend-setter and doesn't sound like everyone else. It's about changing the game #beyhive.'

But not everyone was enamored with the musical offerings and one fan tweeted: 'how can u sing at the presidents inauguration then release this disgusting, offensive song @beyonce? I'm genuinely shocked.' (sic)

But some fans suggested that the singer hadn't gone far enough and if she was a male music artist she wouldn't be on the end of such criticism.

One fan posted: 'Miss me with the "she's so arrogant" mess. Were she a man, this would scarcely be an issue. Beyonce isn't arrogant enough. #BowDown' (sic)

They have had very hectic schedules since the birth of their first child so appear to be making the most of their Caribbean getaway.

And they seem to be taking to parenthood like ducks to water as they make sure they have some quiet time as a couple as well as doting on their little one.

They certainly seemed to be winding down as an ice bucket rested behind them which contained a bottle of wine and several bottles of water, while Jay-Z also sipped juice from a coconut.

She has been spotted enjoying some quality time with her baby as she stepped out in public with Blue Ivy for the first time over the weekend.

And as Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z enjoyed lunch in New York City for the little one's first public outing, the superstar singer breastfed her daughter, according to Us Weekly.

The magazine reports that the 30-year-old was observed feeding baby Blue, who is eight weeks old, as the family dined at Saint Ambroeus cafe and espresso bar in the West Village.

Two further sources have allegedly confirmed to the publication that the star is breastfeeding her daughter.

Blue Ivy was wrapped in a black baby blanket, with what appeared to be a black scarf covering her face.

As well as Jay-Z, Beyoncé was accompanied by a team of bodyguards who kept close watch over the family as they emerged from the cafe.

Eyewitnesses say the new mother wasn't feeling well and the family left after only 30 minutes.

The next day Beyoncé and her daughter enjoyed another stroll around Manhattan.

The scene set was similar to the day before with the singer wearing the exact same attire of leather trousers, a navy blue parker jacket and high top boots.

She cradled her precious bundle of joy in a leopard print rug, swapping the black coloured wrap she had used the day before.

It has also been reported that Glee creator Ryan Murphy is hoping to sign the singer to a musical movie project as part of an all-star cast.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcome baby girl and name her Blue Ivy Carter

Superstar couple Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z have welcomed their first child - a baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter.

The 30-year-old singer's daughter arrived via scheduled caesarean section at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City last night.

The couple's close friend Gwyneth Paltrow confirmed the baby's arrival on Twitter, writing: 'Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already.'

Beyonce's 42-year-old rapper husband Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, was by her side during the birth, according to E! Online.

A source told Beyonce's hometown newspaper Houston Chronicle that 'mother and baby are doing fine'.

Despite initial confusion the baby was named Ivy Blue, E! reporter Ken Baker later clarified friends of the couple have confirmed the newborn was actually called Blue Ivy.

Paltrow also clarified the name to a confused Twitter follower: 'It's Blue Ivy Carter.'

Celebrities have already started tweeting their congratulations to the couple, including hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Rihanna.

Russell posted: 'Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.'

Rihanna posted: 'Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih.'

According to the New York Daily News, Beyoncé checked into the Upper East Side hospital under the name Ingrid Jackson.

Beyoncé, who was spotted out with her mother on Thursday night, is said to have booked out the entire fourth floor spending $1.3million it has been claimed.

On Saturday night, deliveries of takeaway food and bottles of red wine were being delivered to the hospital's private wing.

While a spokesperson for the power couple - who are said to be worth $750million - was not available for comment, security is said to have been tightened at the hospital.

Hospital workers are being asked to turn in their mobile phones and security cameras have been covered with packing tape, according to the news site.

At one point, a doctor was heard complaining the heavy security meant he couldn't check up on his patients properly.

The hospital is only a few miles from the couple's TriBeCa, Manhattan apartment, where they spend most of their time while not on tour.

The couple, who have been married since 2008, also recently bought a mansion in Miami Beach, Florida.

Within hours of baby Blue's reported arrival, one fan started up a parody Twitter account called @IvyBlueCarter, with a digitally-created image of what the baby could look like.

Baby rumours reached fever pitch on December 30 with reports that Beyoncé had given welcomed a daughter called Tiana May Carter.

It came after reports suggested that staff at St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital - a private facility in New York - had been told to prepare for a VIP arrival.

But Beyoncé's sister Solange rebutted the rumours by telling fans that the singer had spent New Year's Eve at her house party in Brooklyn.

The 25-year-old confirmed Beyonce was very much still pregnant and tweeted: 'Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!'

The former Destiny's Child singer was also seen out earlier on New Year's Eve dining at the Buttermilk Channel restaurant in Brookly on New Year's Eve with Jay-Z.

Last Thursday, Beyoncé emerged in public for the first time since being last spotted on December 21.

The 30-year-old was seen stroking her tummy as she left a New York office building escorted by a bodyguard and her mother Tina.

Beyoncé announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards back in August, when she arrived on the red carpet cradling her tiny bump.

The singer also showed off her growing tummy after her onstage performance at the same ceremony - unbuttoning her sequinned jacket and rubbing her tummy.

It was originally thought she was due in February, but Beyonce revealed in scenes from her Live At Roseland: Elements Of 4 DVD - which was filmed in September - that she was six months pregnant at the time.

Back in October the former Destiny's Child faced internet rumours that she was 'faking' her pregnancy after an interview she did for Australian TV was posted online.

Critics claimed that when the Texan sat down her bump disappeared.

But Beyonce's rep quickly batted down those rumours saying they were 'foolish'.
