(Newser) – Is Beyoncé starting to show? Friends of the hush-hush songbird, who won't even admit she married hip-hop impresario Jay-Z last month, say the newlywed is expecting the couple's first child. "When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox, but not now," a source told the New York Post.
