A Star Is Born filming pushed back after Beyoncé announces pregnancy

Filming on Beyoncé's new movie A Star Is Born has had to be pushed back after the singer revealed she is expecting her first child.
Clint Eastwood's musical remake had been due to start shooting in February 2012, but insiders on the film told Deadline Hollywood that Warner Bros 'could push' the start date on the film.
It is also claimed the delay to the start of shooting will give them longer to find a suitable leading man after Eastwood failed to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to sign on.

Delay: Filming of A Star Is Born could be pushed back after Beyoncé announced she is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z

Single Ladies hitmaker Beyoncé will take on the role previously held by Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland in the 1976 and 1954 adaptations, and Janet Gaynor in the 1937 original.
She will play up and coming starlet Esther Blodgett, later Vicki Lester, who falls for a has-been rockstar.
Beyoncé proved her acting chops in Oscar-winning musical Dreamgirls in 2006, as well as portraying Etta James in Cadillac Records.
The 29-year-old singer announced at last night's MTV VMA Awards that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child together.

Congratulations: Kelly Rowland, who was in Destiny's Child with Beyonce and Michelle Williams, came forward to publicly offer her friend congratulations

And today her former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland came forward to publicly congratulate her friend.
She told America's People magazine: 'I have known for quite a while, and she's happy, and Jay is happy, and that's all that counts.

'I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly. I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it's going to be so natural for her. Its natural for her now!'
Last night Beyoncé debuted her baby bump in an orange Lanvin gown and told the assembled press: 'I have a surprise!'
And the singer didn't let her pregnancy prevent her from bringing the house down with an energetic performance.
She cheered on Jay-Z, who performed new single Otis with Kanye West, before taking to the stage herself.
Arriving onstage in a purple glittery blazer and black trousers by Dolce & Gabbana, the mother-to-be said: 'I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me.'

After a fabulous performance of Love On Top that attracted a standing ovation from the audience, Beyoncé ripped open her jacket and proudly rubbed her baby bump.
The cameras panned to the audience where Jay-Z was beaming, as his friend Kanye jumped up and down, smacking the father-to-be on the back and shaking him.
Beyoncé performed at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on August 14, and covered up her stomach with a sheath of fabric that draped lightly across her protruding bump.

The announcement comes after a stellar summer for the Grammy-winner in which she headlined Glastonbury and released another hit album, 4.
Beyoncé, who has won 16 Grammy awards, said in a recent  interview that she feels she has achieved enough in her career to settle down and make family a priority.
'When you're young - 18 or 19 - you have the energy and drive. That's the time to work as hard as you can,' she told the September issue of In Style.

Congratulations! Jay-Z beamed from the audience while Kanye West thumped his friend on the back

'Now I'm a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage.

'I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.'
Beyoncé married rapper Jay-Z on September 4, 2008 in New York.

Speaking to Piers Morgan in June, she hinted: 'I always said I was going to have a baby at 30. I'm 29 now.
'But I also said I was going to retire at 30. So I don't know,' she said, adding: 'I am not retiring, I tell you.'
Pressed by Morgan she said: 'Only God knows, only God knows.'

Parents-to-be: Beyoncé and Jay-Z married in an intimate ceremony in New York on September 4, 2008

Justin Bieber so has a crush on Rihanna and YIPEE! All-Star weekend is complete... A Beyonce sighting!!

Everyone knows the actual basketball played at All-Star weekend is the least important thing. The most important things are celebrity sightings and snooping around about gossip and parties. Duh!

So here's Rihanna and Justin Bieber sitting court side... Heheehee at the look on the Bieb's face. 

And yay!!! My favorite couple ever!

Sigh. They are perfection. 

I compiled all my favorite pictures from All-Star weekend parties and other such festivities.

Rondo, Paul Pierce and KG walked the red carpet together

Loving our three men in black.

Our very own Glen Davis struck a pose on the red carpet at a party

Okay, Glen! Looking good from the waist up. This might have looked nicer with dressier pants or a darker wash of denim... But he looks dapper anyway and it looks like he had a fun time. 

Javale McGee was at the same party, because he's relevant now

But this outfit... No, no. 

Jay-Z hosted a dinner and his BFF Lebron came. Where was Beyonce?!?!

Lebron and Jay-Z... Jigga always looks dapper. This is a better look for Lebron.

LOTS more pictures of Celtics and other NBAer's from parties and other random events after the jump

Chris Bosh and his fiance were there. I'm not even trying to be a jerk- but honestly... If Chris Bosh was going to be buying all my clothes, I would look SO FLY. Chris looks pretty nice- all black, nicely tailored. But his fiance. There shouldn't have been any tights. Those bracelets are really distracting. And someone please help her with her hair. I can't take it. 

D. Wade and Gabrielle Union showed up, too. D. Wade looks pretty nice. He pulls off the suit with sneakers look... And Gabrielle looks flawless, per the usual. She's gorgeous. 

Lots of people showed up at the NBA Players Association All-Star Gala event, including my boo Fabolous

Nniiicccee!

Nicki Minaj performed... This is a toned down look for her and she looks FAB!

Earlier in the day, some ladies showed up for the NBA Beats All-Star Brunch

Gabrielle Union again, looking flawless... Again. And Lebron's fiance? Girlfriend? Companion? Whatevs, Savannah Brinson. I like her salmon dress, it will be a great tone for spring.

Here's the whole group... Chris Bosh's fiance is second from the right. Someone pleaseeee get her a stylist. 

Tony Parker showed up for the T-Mobile party and posed with some... friends. I see you, Tony. TEAM EVA!!!!

KG and Spike made up, court side last night. 

KG wears clothes SO well. I loved his outfit last night. 

He sat next to D. Wade and his son, and swore up a storm. I love him. 

Kim Kardashian  had her hand in Kris Humphries pocket. 

I thought it was supposed to be the other way around... Ba-dum ching!!!

Shaq hung out with the enemy. 

Kim Kardashian continues to infiltrate the NBA...Takes to the sidelines of the Newark Prudential Center. Is Kris Humphries relevant yet? In more exciting news, Jay-Z was also on hand!

This would be so cute... If it wasn't Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. Since it is, it's just... Weird. But it was probably a defining moment of his life... And most definitely of his career- because let's face is, the guy isn't even the first option off the bench. Maybe I'm just a hater! But hey, if Kim wants to pose for pictures  rep her man, go for it. She admittedly looked fab while doing so. 

And I won't lie. The outfit is really nice... My only problem is that it was January in New Jersey. I don't know how I feel about open toed shoes- but if I was chauffeured everywhere like Kim Kardashian is and didn't have to brave the freezing temperatures, maybe I'd wear them in the winter, too. 

Jigga was also on hand, and he looked quite pleased, watching his Nets beat the Jazz to end a 6 game losing streak. 

Gotta love Hova.

In other Nets related news, they have ended their drawn out, dramatic pursuit of Carmelo. Check out Prokhorov's press conference- everything sounds better (and more dramatic) said in a Russian accent. LOVE IT!!!
