<p>Destiny&#8217;s child might be nothing but a sham, you guys! It looks like <strong>Beyonce</strong> is faking her pregnancy. The singer appeared on the Australian news program <em>Sunday Night HD</em> over the weekend &#8212; and when she sat down for a Q&amp;A with the show&#8217;s host, her supposedly pregnant belly appeared to collapse in on itself, leaving viewers to speculate that it might be a prosthetic. Here&#8217;s a screengrab of the moment it flattens:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-397084" src="http://cdn.crushable.com/files/2011/10/beyonc.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="345" /></p>
<p>No way there&#8217;s an actual baby in there, right? So, what the hell? Why is Beyonce doing this? The rumor circulating is that the singer and her husband <strong>Jay-Z</strong> have hired a surrogate to carry the child. Presumably, the couple assumes that admitting so much would make them look bad, so they&#8217;re faking things with a foam fetus. Which makes Beyonce <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/beyonce-pregnant-feel-love-growing-inside/story?id=14402726">quotes like</a>, &#8220;I want you to feel the love that&#8217;s growing inside me,&#8221; said at the MTV VMAs when her &#8220;pregnancy&#8221; was revealed, feel awfully manipulative.</p>

<p>Beyonce is officially 30-years-old, although there <a href="http://mommyish.com/stuff/beyonce-may-be-faking-her-pregnancy-957/">has been speculation</a> her entire career that she&#8217;s actually several years older than that. So, conceivably, Beyonce feels she&#8217;s at an age when it&#8217;s no longer prudent to carry a child. The lies, they continue to mount!</p>
<p>So far Beyonce and Jay-Z have refused to comment. So, will they come clean or keep up the charade with an ever-expanding collection of prosthetics? And how bad will the backlash be? The child is due is February, so we have many more months to watch the saga unfold&#8230; and pop back into shape, etc.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Beyonce&#8217;s publicist has <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/music/">called the news</a>, &#8220;Stupid, ridiculous and false.” All right, then.

<strong>Nick Jonas</strong> has nabbed himself a hot older girlfriend in Australian singer/actress <strong>Delta Goodrem</strong>. The two have been dating since May of this year, and were <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/09/23/nick-jonas-delta-goodrem-sightseeing-sweeties/">recently snapped</a> acting all cuddly on a trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nick&#8217;s 19 and Delta is nearly 27 &#8212; which is a pretty big age difference, especially for the younger man/older woman arrangement. So who is Delta? Here are five facts about Nick&#8217;s lady:</p>
<p>1. Delta&#8217;s a superstar in her own right in her home country of Australia. The singer, whose music can be classified as poppy adult contemporary, has eight number-one singles and three number-one albums to her name.</p>
<p>2. Delta has battled cancer. At the age of 18, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma, which attacks the body&#8217;s immune system.</p>
<p>3. She actually rose to fame via her acting career. Delta starred on the Australian soap opera <em>Neighbours</em> (that&#8217;s <em>Neighbors</em> for you Americans) in 2002.</p>
<p>4. Delta was previously engaged to <strong>Westlife</strong> singer <strong>Brian McFadden</strong>, and began dating Nick just two months after their announced their split. Prior to Brian, Delta dated tennis star <strong>Mark Philippoussis</strong>, who was by her side during her cancer battle.</p>

<p>5. Delta often performs barefoot! That sounds dangerous and also hippie-ish.</p>

<p>What, the front door&#8217;s isn&#8217;t good enough for you, <strong>Hugh Jackman</strong>? <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong>&#8216;s been in Australia for the past week to tape her show from down under, and Hugh celebrated the occasion with a wacky stunt. He chose to arrive at the show by zipline and flew down from the top of the Sidney Opera House. It didn&#8217;t go so well, though!</p>
<p>The video&#8217;s worth watching even more for the aftermath, which has Hugh sipping from a glass of wine and holding a bloody rag to his face while Oprah looks on. And she seems <em>pissed</em>. We&#8217;re pretty sure Hugh&#8217;s now qualified to play Spider-Man on Broadway.</p>

So now she&#8217;s boycotting, and not to diminish the abhorrent behavior of these homophobic school officials, but we swear to god this happens every single dance season (homecoming also included!).</p>
<p>You know what this means? It means we just need to ban school dances entirely. Seriously, who actually has fun at prom? The popular kids? Screw them. <a href="http://www.itgetsbetterproject.com/#E0lrG8RmtpA">It Gets Better</a> should just include an entire subset explaining that in the real world, you will not be forced to go to functions requiring taffeta and poofy dresses, unless it&#8217;s someone&#8217;s wedding.</p>

She makes clothing that looks like Lisa Frank (any relation?) meets candy meets couture, and honestly if American designers added a little more chutzpah to their runway shows --Camilla did come out of a theater background, after all -- then we'd see more multi-toned kaftans at our favorite retailers than beige "back to school-wear."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With great power comes great irresponsibility: Frenchman <strong>Alain Robert</strong>s climbed a 57-foot Sidney skyscraper earlier today, without any ropes or a harness. Roberts has <a href="http://gawker.com/5625234/french-spiderman-climbs-sydney-skyscraper">scaled more than seventy buildings</a> across the world in a strange attempt to raise awareness about global warming. (Hasn’t the guy ever heard of a protest sign?) Alain was arrested for the stunt, something that would never happen to the real-life Peter Parker.</p>
<div class="vidembedwrap"><object width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iuVDfQhzLEo&ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iuVDfQhzLEo&ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="480"></embed></object></div>
<p>Roberts’ climb came just months on the heels of <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/05/04/real-life-spider-man-stops-robbery/">another Australian incident</a> involving a citizen vying for the Spiderman title. Comic shop owner <strong>Michael Baulderstone</strong> was dressed as Spidey to celebrate Free Comic Day when he spotted a thief trying to pocket a valuable mag (an <em>X-Men</em> Omnibus, in case that means anything to you). Baulderstone channeled superhero bravery to confront the bandit and demand he relinquish the stolen comic book. Justice was served, much to the delight of the costumed crowd.</p>
