Beyonce’s rep is taking on the chatter that the singer has gained weight, after these photos of the former Destiny’s Child singer hit the web.

“This is not a weight-gain issue,” the publicist told UsMagazine. “Beyonce is in the best shape of her life. The exaggerated hips are a design element of a truly couture dress. Beyonce has always loved this dress.”

Even better, a rep for designer Mugler (who originally created the gown for Jerry Hall) tells the mag that the waist on Jerry’s dress was 23 inches and had to be cut down t0 19 for B.

“The padded hips intentionally focus attention to the waist,” the dress rep said.

Um, okay. But why in the world would ANYONE want to wear something that intentionally makes the bottom half of their body look like that.

Who knows? Maybe it’s just me — I’m not that well-versed in couture. Shocking, I know.

The lovely Reese Witherspoon simply gleamed on Sunday, at the premiere of her new film Monsters vs. Aliens, which also happened to be the actress’ 33rd birthday.

Presumably to get into the spirit of the flick, Reese donned her best Judy Jetson outfit and rocked a silvery mini skirt that showed off those killer gams.

I mean even Judy didn’t have legs like that — and she was a cartoon. Reese could steal the Jet Screamer away from her in no time. I can hear him now….

Eep, Op, Ork Ah-Ah

That means I love you …

Oprah isn’t just making the dreams of the common folk come true — she’s thrilling Ellen DeGeneres with the offer to share the cover of O with her.

Yup, all of Ellen’s lobbying for Oprah to put her on the front of O’s mag has paid off — as Ops Skyped into Ellen’s show to tell her the good news.

“I am freaking out right now,” Ellen told Oprah. “Now my goal is going to be for this to be biggest-selling issue you’ve ever had, because I want that to happen.”

I have a feeling Ellen’s going to get that wish too.

So, I thought this story would be the ultimate for my girl Jacki, who is a huge, huge Oprah and Ellen fan. But Jacki says she’s not going to be happy until O & E invite her on their shows. So I’m putting it out there into the universe - ya never know, right? But, I’ll tell you this, if Jacki gets that invite she had better be taking me with her!
