	  <title><![CDATA[The show goes on for pregnant Beyoncé]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Recently announced as pregnant, most would assume <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/">Beyonc&eacute;'s</a> performance days were over for a little while. Yet the R&amp;B sensation refuses to let up, and is insistent on performing at the upcoming legendary Michael Jackson tribute concert on October 8, 2011.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The former Destiny's Child star showed off her baby bump at Sunday's (August 28) MTV Video Music Awards. <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/30985/">Organisers have confirmed that Beyonc&eacute; will sing</a> alongside a vast array of superstars such as Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Smokey Robinson at the forthcoming concert - Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert.</p>
<p>Beyonc&eacute;'s representative has said "pregnancy will not affect her performance".</p>
<p>Notoriously known for promoting the power of women through her music, and being five months pregnant at the time of the concert, this clearly highlights her dedication to hard work and aspirations to become a modern day alpha-female.</p>
<p>Watch <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/31277/">Beyonc&eacute;</a> reveal her baby bump below:</p>

<p>The R&amp;B star, 29, used her hands to frame her baby bump  under a loose-fitting dress as she arrived at the MTV Music Video Awards  in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/" target="_self">Beyonc&eacute;</a> did not talk to media but her publicist later confirmed the pregnancy, reported the Associated Press.</p>

<p>Beyonce took the stage to perform 'Love On Top' and said to the audience: <span>"I want you to feel the love that's  growing inside of me."</span></p>
<p><span>After her performance that gained a standing ovation from the audience, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/" target="_self"> Beyonc&eacute;</a> ripped open her jacket and proudly rubbed baby bump.</span></p>
<p><span>The cameras then panned to where <a href="/pg/newsdesk/Jayz/" target="_self">Jay-Z</a> was beaming and friend <a href="/pg/newsdesk/kanyewest/" target="_self">Kanye West</a> jumped around and shook him to congratulate the new father-to-be.</span></p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Beyoncé upset Egyptian men with raunchy performance]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Singing superstar <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/">Beyonc&eacute;</a> has revealed that she upset a group of men at a recent concert in Egypt.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 'Best Thing I Never Had' icon performed to a huge audience in the country, but her empowering-to-women lyrics and dazzling outfits and attitude "upset" some of the men in the crowd. She opened up about her experience of playing a gig in Egypt in the forthcoming September issue of Harper's Bazaar and said:</p>
<p>"There were a lot of women in the audience in burkas. They were singing along to 'Irreplaceable' - it was amazing!"</p>
<p>"Some of the men got really upset! They were like to their women, 'We have to get you out of here!'... I guess some of them (men) do get annoyed. But I never want to do 'the banner thing.''</p>
<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/">Beyonc&eacute;</a> is known for perpetuating a sense of 'girl power' through her music and she added that feminism just feels "kind of natural" for her:</p>
<p>"I don't really feel that it's necessary to define it. It's just something that's kind of natural for me. I feel like... you know... it's, like, what I live for. I need to find a catchy new word for feminism, right? Like Bootylicious."&nbsp;</p>
<p>Watch her sing 'Ave Maria' inside an Egyptian pyramid below:</p>
