[Here’s a video of Beyonce’s belly folding up on itself as she sits.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqYIsTNl4mM) Some are saying she’s faking her pregnancy because she doesn’t want to ruin her figure. Yeah, girl is thick and a baby isn’t going to help nor hinder that. [Besides, here she is in a bikini very obviously pregnant.](http://i.huffpost.com/gen/346998/BEYONCE-PREGNANT-BIKINI.jpg) But that belly folding-- it’s gotta be prosthetic. Why on Earth would you wear a prosthetic belly when you’re very obviously pregnant? Unless there is another explanation for the belly fold. What say you? ---

Just a trick of the light and the movement of her dress, nothing more. ---

That looks like an odd dress movement to me. However, aren’t prosthetics more substantial than that? ---

It’s clearly air puffing up the front of her dress. ---

No, it’s the waistband of her pantyhose. Really. ---

See, this is always what has turned me off about Beyonce. She has a very weird “midlands” in any condition or shape. She gives me hackles, with her weird curves. She is totally mishapen, very weird hips and belly… huge turnoff… She has a (“shudder”) panty hose torso. ---

It’s just the dress pooching oddly, like those horrible pleated pants that some guys wear that make them look like they’ve got wood whenever they sit or bend over. ---

By that “panty hose torso”, I mean she has always been dressed totatlly unflatteringly by her “costume department”, Which if I understand has creative and stylistic approval originally by her Mom. I think her Mom had something to do with her dressing and style and it shows, detrimentally. ---

i am not trying to be mean, but as a man, I find her sexieness quotient is directly proportional to her talent quotient… which is to say, kind of a joke. I am still bitter that she can outsell [envogue](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_Vogue). Has never paid tribute to the pavers. Fuckt Rowland and the rest of Destiny’s child in the dust with hackneyed talent. She pales in comparison to the true talent of Motown. Her true talent lies in a trio or group… I stopped listening to her after Destiny;s Child. Sorry, but she just isn’t a virtuoso. ---

So, she can’t sing, she doesn’t give respect, her middle is shaped oddly and her Mama dresses her funny. Anything else? ---

She committed the biggest offense in the biz… she fuckt her partners. Betrayal. ---

Yeah, yeah, everyone has their own tastes and whatever but I find it sort of incomprehensible that there are people who don’t think she’s one of the hottest women on the planet. ---

Yea, Austin Powers was disgraced by her hack a hack hack. She brought down the entire Austin Powers franchise. She jumped their shark. ---
