Pregnancy rumors concerning Beyonce are high, forcing the singer to take to her Instagram account to squash them.

"I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me," she wrote in a note she posted to the social networking site (which she later removed).

The rumors were sparked at this year's Met Ball, when the 31 year old showed up in a custom Ralph & Russo gown that seemed to intentionally hide her figure. The gossip was quickly fueled when she cancelled a show on her Mrs. Carter World Tour, citing "exhaustion." Even record producer Russell Simmons congratulated Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z on his official Twitter.

Although the media scrutiny can be frustrating to some stars, I don't quite understand why Beyonce is so heated about it when it's concerning whether or not she's pregnant. No one's calling her fat; pregnancies are joyful announcements. I mean, she ought to be thankful that the media doesn't treat her like they do Kim Kardashian!
