Beyoncé's Definitely Not Pregnant, Then?

Beyoncé flaunted a very flat stomach in a crop top as she celebrated Kanye West's birthday in New York

Beyoncé seemed to be sending a clear message to the world over the weekend that she's not pregnant.

Flashing her toned and trim midriff in a striped, monochrome pencil skirt and matching crop top, Beyoncé put the pregnancy rumours to bed once and for all as she attended Kanye West's 36th birthday in New York.

Ms Knowles posted photos of herself and hubby Jay-Z kissing and sharing an intimate moment together at the bash which took place at Miss Lily's restaurant in New York's West Village.

Her flesh-flashing display may not have been necessary, though, as last week her team finally put an end to the pregnancy gossip that has been circulating for the last month or so.

US TV host Gayle King reported on CBS This Morning that the rumours have been denied.

She said: 'There have been a lot of rumours about Beyoncé expecting...

'I got a call yesterday from Team Beyoncé you guys, and they're basically saying stop the crazy, she is absolutely positively not pregnant at this time. It's a crazy rumour that started that they can't seem to stop, and so they wanted us to – they said you know, CBS, news is back in the morning, they wanted us to know she's not pregnant.'

BEYONCE IS 'ABSOLUTELY NOT PREGNANT'

So there we have it.

In other news, Kanye West celebrated his birthday surrounded by a host of famous friends, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Nas, but without girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who is now too pregnant to fly.

On May 21, she wrote: 'My final trip before I can't fly anymore! My mom and I flew to Paris to soak in the amazingness Paris has to offer before I can't travel anymore. (sic)'

But the reality star was there in spirit, using Twitter to wish her baby daddy a happy birthday on Saturday. She wrote: 'Happy birthday to my best friend, the love of my life, my soul!!!! I love you beyond words! (sic)'
