Beyonce recently sat down in an interview with E! Online and surprisingly, she may have slipped up and given a clue as to the baby’s gender when the plan was to keep it under wraps.

Get a glimpse of the interview below:

Did you ever get use to the fans?
No, it’s always so beautiful to do a new event and some of the fans, a lot of them I’ve seen over the years and it’s always great to see them. You just never know what to expect so it always beautiful to see the support.

I am a woman and I know all of the pressures we have to go through and I know how difficult it is. I know how much we have to balance and juggle and I always try to write songs I need to hear as a woman and I know that it’s not many great role models and I try my best, I’m not perfect but I try my best to encourage women to be entrepreneurs and work hard, have their own goals and always know their worth.

Does being pregnant make you feel more empowered as a woman?
Oh, I feel so empowered. I feel so powerful! I mean it is the most incredible gift anyone can have and I’m so happy I’m a woman. I know men….I feel bad that they don’t get to feel this, it’s incredible.

Do you put music up to your belly yet?
No, I think my baby has heard a lot of my music because I’ve been performing the whole time, dancing, singing and in the studio. I think my baby has heard lots and lots of very loud music.

Can you tell me about the importance of ’4′ and if there is any way you can get this baby to come out on the 4th?
I’m trying to see if I could arrange that but I’m not sure if God is going for it, he has his own plan or she has her own plan. We all have numbers that are significant in our lives I believe we just have to pay attention. Four is the number that is always there. I mean 4:44…..I look up and special things happen at that time or I’ll be on the 44th floor. It goes really deep but I don’t wanna weird you out but my fans told me “‘4’ we’re waiting on ‘4,’ so it was the fourth album and it was only natural that I gave the fans what they wanted and I thought “This is my favorite album and I’m going to name it my favorite number.”

Maybe four kids?

Maybe four people in my family.

How do you think you’ll be as a mother? Will you take the baby everywhere you go?

I think I probably will be. I’ve seen different mothers and I know my mother worked really hard and she definitely didn’t stop. My mother was a great example of how it is possible to own your own salon, be a great wife, spend family time, and make the lunches & costumes and all of those things. So that was my example and I’m hoping that I’m going to just keep it moving and bring my baby with me.

One can argue that she could have referred to God possibly being a “she”, but I think a lot of people would agree that it was the baby’s gender. Although they haven’t released the exact due date, various reports tell us to look forward to the birth being around February 2012.

Beyonce has been scheduled for a 4 night appearance in August at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The name of the show is simply “4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce”. The dates of the performances are set for August 14th, 16th, 18th and 19th. The first wave of tickets went on sale today for August 14th’s appearance, and the show sold out in just 22 seconds. The venue, according to its website, can accommodate 3,200 standing (with an additional 300 upstairs), 2,500 for a dance party, between 1,500 and 1,800 in theatre style, and 800-1,000 for a sit-down dinner.

The appearance at Roseland is an attempt to promote her latest album, entitled “4“. On all four nights, the singer plans to perform the entire collection of songs on that new album to a (standing room only) audience.

If you missed it, Longview’s own Allyson Yates made a grand appearance on TLC’s ‘Toddlers and Tiaras”. Ally made quite the impression and media outlets everywhere are beginning to cover this 4 year old diva. After the show aired, she even got attention from OK! Magazine. Why? Because Ally is not only breathtaking to look at, but she makes it clear while getting spray tanned that she wants to be brown like Beyonce! Lol. Unfortunately, there are some people in the press who are making negative statements about the innocent comments made by Yates, but when did embracing other ethnicities become a crime? It’s truly sad that the media would even go there, but the positive attention Ally is getting outweighs the negative attention by far and I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of Ally’s career.

I’ve actually had the pleasure of meeting Ally on several occasions. For all of you in East TX that know Ally or her mother Kylene, you can attest to the fact that she has a “larger than life” personality and is an absolute sweetheart. Plus, no one believed me when I would tell them that Ally loved playing with “brown” dolls and slept in a large castle. Now I have proof! My fondest memory yet is her mother telling her to hug me goodbye, and Ally replying “No thank you.” She eventually gave me a hug, but it was so funny to hear that response coming from a 3 year old at that time. She just politely says what she feels and means no harm.

Let’s all give Ally a round of applause for being as fabulous as she is. Please support her by visiting her fan page on Facebook.

Despite the negative reviews from critics prior to the release of Beyonce’s “4” album, she still managed to rank #1 on Billboard’s 200. Her album is also #1 in 13 different countries. “4” is quite unique compared to her previous work, however, in my opinion it is a great cd. With great tracks like “Countdown”, “Miss You” and “Party”  ft. Andre 3000, this album should remain relevant, with consistent sales over the summer.
