Did Beyonce Wear a Prosthetic Baby Bump at the VMA's? [PHOTOS]

According to a top industry insider, Beyonce fooled the world by wearing a prosthetic belly on the day of the awards show.

The revelation of Beyonce's pregnancy during the MTV VMA's shook the world with excitement, but an insider says the singer wore a fake belly to make the announcement seem more dramatic. According to a reliable insider, Beyonce is only less than 8 weeks pregnant and is still not in her third trimester. The allegations started when fans began to notice the "Baby Boy" singer's seemingly flat stomach just a week before the VMA's.

"She wanted the announcement to be dramatic, so she made sure she had a baby bump" says the insider in a report by Media TakeOut. According to reports, Beyonce confirmed that she is in her third trimester, but pictures from her Roseland performance (a week before the VMA's) say otherwise.

Meanwhile, etiquette and physique experts say Beyonce went to extreme measures to hide her pregnancy, like wearing a dress with a front flap to hide her bulging baby bump. Beauty Tutor founder, Sarah Donges, says Beyonce did the trick by adjusting her usual skimpy and sexy wardrobe.

"She has worn loose tops, and drawn attention to other areas of her body. There's a saying, 'If you've got it, flaunt it', and she has done that by showing off her legs, so we don't look at her tummy, or had a lot of detail on her dresses so we focus on that rather than shape and size. She also wears big jewellery, so that becomes more of a focal point." suggests Donges in a report.

Meanwhile, fans are reacting to the "prosthetic allegation," positively and negatively. Some say "it's too early" to get a baby bump, while others are slamming critics for not "being happy for her" pregnancy.
