Pregnant Beyoncé welcomes new year in NYC

Internet rumors notwithstanding, Beyoncé is still pregnant -- at least as of deadline.

The pop star's sister, Solange Knowles, also a singer as well as an actress/model, tweeted on Sunday, "Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!"

While that comment could still be said of someone after she has given birth, eyewitnesses told media outlets that a very pregnant Beyoncé was out in Manhattan on New Year's Eve.

People magazine said the singer, 30, and her husband, hip-hop star and music producer Jay-Z, 42, had dinner at the Brooklyn restaurant Buttermilk Channel that night, eating fried chicken and oysters.

The Hollywood Reporter said that after dinner they rang in the New Year at a party hosted by Solange Knowles.

Beyoncé announced her pregnancy in August on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Rumors that the pop star had delivered a baby named Tiana-May spiked on Friday following a claim on the anonymously produced gossip site MediaTakeOut.com last week saying Beyoncé was due to give birth at Manhattan's St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center.

Monday, the site claimed the birth will take place Wednesday.

Representatives for Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not respond to The Hollywood Reporter's requests for comment.
