that believes that story.

She used a surrogate and some pillows.

Wow. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen here. And that is truly saying something.

This child looks just like her mama and daddy, especially dad. And even a .003 second search on Google will show plenty of pics of Beyonce with a pregnant belly such as this one

I can understand people with nothing better to do (mostly teenagers) creating these types of myths. But I damn sure don't understand any person, particularly an adult, falling for them.
