In this week’s Linkbait news round-up, we ask all the important questions.

Beyonce pregnant Blue Ivy

IS SHE? ISN’T SHE? IS SHE? ISN’T SHE?

Is Beyoncé pregnant for the second time? Nobody knows. What we do know: she cancelled a show in Belgium due to “dehydration” and “exhaustion”. Somewhere, Kim Kardashian is very, very worried that she’s going to get upstaged. [USA Today]

M&S autumn/winter womenswear

HIGH STREET COMEBACK OF THE WEEK

M&S reported 3.8% decline in clothes sales this quarter, but at least its womenswear team is trying to stage a bold comeback for autumn/winter. The tactic? Lots of coats. Lisa Armstrong previews the new collection. [The Telegraph]

ANGELINA JOLIE OFFICIALLY BECOMES BETTER THAN YOU

The actress revealed she opted for a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer. Brad Pitt called her “absolutely heroic”. Suddenly, all those ‘Brad/Jen/Angie’ tabloid covers seem a little insignificant now, huh? [New York Times]

Steve Jobs

WANT TO BECOME THE STEVE JOBS OF BRITISH FASHION?

Nina Ricci and Karl Lagerfeld Kate Middleton design

LET’S FACE IT, SHE’LL PROBABLY JUST WEAR BODEN

Karl Lagerfeld, Nina Ricci and Vera Wang were among the designers tasked with imagining a dress for Kate Middleton, who is definitely pregnancé. We’re a fan of Lagerfeld’s rack-on-show design – don’t think the Queen would be happy, though. [WWD]

Rihanna x River Island

WANT TO DRESS LIKE A NON-PREGNANT CELEB? YOU’RE IN LUCK

If you like tie-dye, crochet and crop tops, you’ll probably love Rihanna’s second collection for River Island. If you don’t, we can’t really help you out there. [Fashionista]

This post is brought to you by the most famous baby bump in the world (sorry, Kate)
