Beyonce may soon be trading her increasingly annoying habit of playing “hide the wedding ring” with the paparazzi for a slightly less annoying game of “hide the belly bump.” Friends of the bootylicious newlywed say she’s expecting her first child with Jay-Z, reports the New York Post.
“When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox,” said a source. “But not now.”
Potential baby news aside, the real mystery is the “Def Jam detox,” the urban legend of diets. Named after Jay-Z’s label, it is the same regime that Mariah Carey reportedly used to lose weight, but a quick Google search leaves us with more questions than answers. Seriously, what is it? We’re dying to know!
One report from the Huffington Post speculates it’s a “hip-hop version” of the Master Cleanse Diet, a liquid diet that allegedly cleanses and detoxifies the body. The drink is a mixture of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, according to Associated Content.
Eww. If getting knocked up is the only way those in Jay Z’s circle can avoid throwing back maple-flavoured sludge, expect Rihanna, Mary J. Blige and Chris Martin to start complaining about morning sickness any day now.
