Beyoncé opened up about her recently announced pregnancy at the launch of the House of Dereon, a fashion line created by the singer and her mother, Tina Knowles. "I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced," the singer said in London. "It was really difficult to conceal. But now I can be proud and excited about it, I'm having so much fun shopping – it's great!"

The singer's fashion line does not include maternity wear, but she was wearing items from the line at the event. "What I'm wearing today is part of the collection; it's not supposed to be [maternity wear], but it actually is really good for the maternity," she said. "We do have some things that I am still trying to rock!"

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
