In a video clip for her song “I Was Here” – taped live in concert in NYC’s Roseland – the now pregnant megastar shares loads of personal moments. The footage gives glimpses into everything from her childhood and Destiny’s Child days to her charity work and romance with husband Jay-Z, including the gown she wore when the pair walked down the aisle. The images include both a front view of the stunning strapless dress with a fitted bodice and “sweetheart neckline” and a shot of the back, showing elaborate layered fabric and a long train. The gown was designed by the bride’s mom and still stylist, Tina Knowles.

Baby Jayonce is due in February.

As if this whole business with the folding baby bump isn’t weird enough, pregnant star Beyonce has been caught up in yet another bizarre baby-related scandal – and this one involves her dad, Mathew Knowles.

The 60-year-old fathered a son during an 18-month extramarital affair with former Scrubs star Alexsandra Wright, 40, but apparently he begged the boy’s mother to hand the child over to his superstar daughter and son-in-law, so they could raise him as their own.

Alexsandra refused to give up her child and is raising the baby, now 20-months-old, with her new boyfriend. She tells Star Magazine:

“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?’ 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.”

Alexsandra insists that Beyonce knew nothing of her father’s scheme to have her raise her own half-brother.

“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.”

The “If I Were a Boy” hitmaker is presently estranged from her dad, also her former manager, amid allegations that he stole millions from her.

Knowles and Wright ended their affair before the baby was born, and Alexsandra claims Mathew then tried to offer her money to leave his name off the birth certificate. Wright refused, and after a paternity battle which proved the baby was his, Tina Knowles (Beyonce’s mother) filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage.

Mathew Knowles has never met his only son.

Before you say anything, Queen Bey has already admitted that New Edition’s 1991 video for the R&B smash “If It Isn’t Love” was the inspiration behind her latest promo, “Love on Top.”

Take a peek at the similarities.

Earlier this month, Beyonce courted controversy after her “Countdown” looked a little too similar to moves by Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.

Beyonce’s not gonna let a lil’ baby bump get in the way of making a super-stylish music video!

The bootylicious mum-to-be just released the promo for “Countdown,” the fourth vid from her album 4. In the clip, Bey dons some seriously ’60s wigs and poses up a storm, falling somewhere between Audrey Hepburn and Michael Jackson in the style stakes. The song samples Boyz II Men track “Uhh Ahh” – and the 90s boy band couldn’t be more stoked.

“I thought it was very clever,” Boyz II Men member Wanya Morris told MTV.com. “She’s a clever artist. She’s one of the best in the business right now. I guess you can say we finally got our duet with Beyonce.”

Is Beyonce trying to tell us something?

There’s no better time to drop a bomb than on a red carpet…and Beyonce Knowles has done just that!

The Grammy-winning singer — who’ll turn 30 on Sept. 4 — apparently announced that she’s pregnant by walking the red carpet at Sunday’s Video Music Awards in Los Angeles!

“OMG Beyonce just made a huge announcement on the #vma carpet! #baby!!!!!” the network Tweeted a short time ago.

“I’m happy to say it’s true,” B’s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

This will be the first child for Beyonce and her hubby, hip hop star Jay-Z.

Beyonce in lingerie and a wedding dress: Yes, please. Check out the just-released music video for Beyonce’s new single “Best Thing I Never Had.” The diva’s fourth studio album, 4, has hit the number spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, having sold 310,000 copies since its release late last month.

Well, this is one way of promoting a new album! “Run the World” songstress Beyonce pens her first cover story, Eat, Play, Love, in the July issue of Essence Magazine. In the piece, the buxom superstar reveals how a nine-month break from recording reignited her creativity and renewed her soul.

Here’s an excerpt: “I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband… Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile…”

This is a girl that requires no autotune.

Beyonce debuted her latest single –”1+1″ — from her new album, “4″, on the American Idol season finale Wednesday.

Jay-Z recorded footage of his wife showing off her signature pipes during rehearsal and shows no modesty as he plays the role of the beaming husband.

“Sometimes you need perspective. You’ve been right in front of greatness so often that you need to step back and see it again for the first time,” Jay-Z in a blog post under the byline Andy WarHOV. “This is the dressing room rehearsal for American Idol. NO MICROPHONE. No effects.”

With a piano as the only instrument accompanying her voice, the fierce songstress sings: “I don’t know much about algebra. But I know 1 plus 1 equals 2.”

She continues: “Hey! I don’t know much about guns but I … I’ve been shot by you. Hey! And I don’t know when I’m gonna die, but I hope that I’m gonna die by you. Hey! And I don’t know much about fighting, but I, I know I will fight for you. Hey! Just when I ball up my fist, I realize that I’m laying right next to you.”

Beyonce’s fourth solo disc will be released on June 28.
