The latest round of Beyonce baby rumors started weeks ago, and despite a denial from her music mogul husband, Jay-Z, the buzz continues. But is it time to finally put the baby talk to rest?

TODAY's Savanah Guthrie sat down with the superstar singer for an exclusive chat and gave her an opportunity to dispel the rumors that she's expecting.

Eddie Mair has spoken to Beyonce, Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini and Salma Hayek about the Chime for Change concert that took place on Saturday night.

The concert aims to raise awareness of women's issues and raise money for 200 non-governmental organisations working across the world.

Beyonce said she was in 'disbelief' about some of the statistics and that she wanted to get people talking about it.

Salma Hayek told the Andrew Marr Show that she hoped that the Chime for Change movement would in future mean that there 'wasn't a single corner of the world where women didn't have access to human rights'.

A short interview with Beyonce about Chime For Change appeared in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine. Check out the scan in the gallery. Credit goes to cheleny.

Singer chats about her daughter's reaction to watching a cartoon with her mom's voice.

The star, 31, is the voice of Queen Tara in the 3-D computer-animated family film Epic, in theaters May 24.

Q: When you were voicing your character, did you still go to the studio glamorously dressed? —Joyce O., Buffalo

A: Absolutely! I had to become Queen Tara, and she’s glamorous and strong. I’ve always wanted to play a queen. And she’s more than that; she’s fierce and powerful.

Q: If you had to describe yourself in four words, what would they be? —Anne E., Pawtucket, R.I.

A: Let’s see … loyal, ambitious, adventurous, and loving.

Q: Did becoming a mother make you closer to your mom? —Monica B., Lawrence, Kan.

A: We’ve always been close, but now I really appreciate everything she’s taught me, and I pass her life lessons along to my daughter . She’s a great mother and grandmother.

Q: Which artist would you like to perform a duet with? —Kathy W., Seaford, N.Y.

A: I was blessed to have recorded with Justin Timberlake recently and, years ago, with the late Luther Vandross. I would love to work with Adele and Bruno Mars.

Q: What’s your favorite food on tour? —Tim R., Aledo, Tex.

A: Since I dance onstage for two hours every day, sometimes I can have my favorite—pizza!

Online Extra: What’s her greatest accomplishment?

“My greatest accomplishment is giving birth to my beautiful daughter,” she says.

A vocalist, songwriter, fashion designer, model, actress and a tabloid icon, Beyonce is one of the busiest and most financially successful artists in the world, found near the top of every list accounting for power and influence among celebrities and artists, hence having an audience with her is a challenging endeavour, so I was delighted to have a 20 minute interview.

The rendezvous was set for 4.30pm at the Corinthia Hotel, in London, one of Beyonce’s stops on her Mrs. Carter show world tour. On my way to the conference room from the hotel’s lobby, I encounter security guards at every door. At one room, I see a crew busily unpacking photography equipment from a mountain of boxes and hauling it into the conference room, where they have literally built a photo studio, as if we were going to do a fashion shoot. You see, Beyonce doesn’t allow anyone to take her photo other than her own photographers.

Entering the room, I am greeted by her representatives with a ticket for her concert tonight, an elegant handbag that contained Beyonce’s brand perfume and served a Pepsi drink -Beyonce has $50 million dollar promotion deal with Pepsi. I am also reminded that once I entered the room, I woudn’t be able to leave it. I acquiesce contently- a decision that I soon regret.

I endure waiting over 90 frustrating minutes for Beyonce. The chilled Pepsi fails to quench my discomfiture, so her people, who keep promising that she is on her way, try vainly to numb my displeasure with more potent drinks, including high quality wine. Finally, someone says that she has just got out of her chair, and is heading to the lift, which sound promising.

'Dangerously In Love' and 'Crazy In Love' made chart history when both album and single simultaneously hit No 1 in the US and the UK (which hadn't happened since 1983!) Since then Beyonce has kicked music asre as Sasha Feirce, and now as MRS CARTER.

While in London, Beyonce attended a press junket for her upcoming movie "Epic" on May 4. Check out a few photos in the gallery.

Now on her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, Beyonce is on top of the music world, and the singer/actress is also taking on the role of Queen Tara in the upcoming animated film, "EPIC."

In an interview with ABC News' Amy Robach on the London leg of her tour, Beyonce talked about her latest role, married life and how shocked she was at the outcry over her recent trip to Cuba.

Today marks the start of Beyoncé's sold-out Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, but it's not the only thing the superstar launches this season. She's also got a huge campaign for H&M, shot in the Bahamas and featuring her new song, "Standing on the Sun," available on hm.com this May. One special piece Beyoncé models in the ads? A tie-dye bikini that's part of the H&M for Water collection, which donates 25% of sales to the international charity WaterAid.

Despite her busy (and oh-so-fabulous) life, Beyoncé told ELLE.com about her newest campaign. There are also two exclusive behind-the-scenes images from the fashion shoot, where legendary photographers Inez & Vinoodh and filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund collaborated with the pop star.

ELLE: Tell us about your experience shooting the campaign for H&M.
Beyoncé: I loved shooting the campaign in the Bahamas. We shot on a beach outside of Nassau and the weather was perfect. The shoot was filled with vibrant colors and was inspired by the glamour of the late '70s.

ELLE: How was it to work with the director Jonas Åkerlund?
Beyoncé: It was incredible to work with Jonas again. We had a great time shooting the TV commercial for the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, so I was looking forward to working with him again. He has such a great imagination and I love seeing his visions come to life.

ELLE: Where does your own fierce and fabulous style come from?
Beyoncé: Well, thanks for the compliment! I think my style comes from watching my mother from the time I was a little girl. She was so stylish. She was the first person I saw mix high-end pieces with more accessible styles and make it all work. I'm also inspired by my sister ; I love her bold approach.

The clue is in the hip-shaking, woman-empowering pop songs.

But now Beyonce has confirmed what we knew anyway – she is “a modern-day feminist”.

The stunning megastar, 31, says women should be able to dote on their husbands and children, be clever, successful and sexy and still call themselves feminists.

And, appearing on the cover of Vogue’s May issue in a midriff-baring top and sequinned pencil skirt, the singer, said to be worth £190million, more than proves the point.

“Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything?” the mother-of one asks readers of the fashion bible.

“I’m just a woman and I love being a woman. If you’re attractive then you can’t be sexy, and you can’t be intelligent? What is all of that?... I don’t know .

“That word can be very extreme. But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality, and that we have a way to go and it’s something that’s pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept. But I’m happily married. I love my husband.”

The lucky man is 43-year-old hip-hop mogul Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – and their daughter is Blue Ivy, one.

“I feel like Mrs Carter is who I am, but more bold and more fearless than I’ve ever been,” Beyonce says. “It comes from knowing my purpose and really meeting myself once I saw my child.

It sounds like Beyoncé's baby daughter Blue Ivy may be getting a brother or sister sooner rather than later!

In a new interview with Shape magazine, the 31-year-old singer says she definitely plans on having more kids with hubby Jay-Z.

"Absolutely," the Grammy-winner dished about expanding her family. "I'll probably start after this tour. We'll see if it happens."

Beyoncé, whose 42-city Mrs. Carter Show world tour kicks off next month in Serbia, also dished on loving everything about 1-year-old Blue Ivy. And we mean everything!

"I just adore being a mother, hearing her say Mama and call me when she needs something," she said. "It makes me feel like I have a real purpose here. I enjoy all the things people warned me would be tough to handle."

Like changing dirty diapers?

"Yes, even that!" the "Single Ladies" songstress said.

"I'm most surprised by how much she's taught me," B said. "She's only a year old and I've learned so much about myself from her. Giving birth was one of my biggest fears, and having Blue forced me to face it. And now I recognize the strength I have. She teaches me to focus on the things that truly matter, like family, and to pay attention to each moment, because they go by so quickly."

Check out below a video from "Life Is But A Dream" premiere posted on HBO website. In the gallery you can also see a few screen captures from the documentary. Remember to watch it tonight at 9PM!

HBO: What made you decide to make a documentary?

BEYONCÉ: I decided to make a documentary for a number of reasons.

First of all, I just wanted to cut through the noise. We live in a celebrity-obsessed culture where there's a lot of information traveling and a lot of talk, but if you really take a look you'll see that for the most part, it's not me doing the talking. Making a documentary was a chance to show who I am and what I really care about.

And it was a new experience for me and an opportunity to examine my thoughts and emotions in a new way, to examine how I look at the world and the people around me, especially during a time when my spirit was put to the test. I was starting a business, launching a record and keeping a big secret inside of me, and it was a way to maintain my sanity, to keep my grip on the world.  I learned so much about myself in making this film, and that is what art is for me, an exploration of self.

HBO: How did you begin or approach the process? Did you have an idea in advance of what you wanted the story to be? Or did you discover themes and storylines along the way? 

BEYONCÉ: I don't think you'll find one documentary director who'll say that he or she knew right from the start what the film is going to be like in the end. Unlike fiction films, documentaries are really created in the edit process. All I knew going into this was that I wanted to share my point of view on life... I wouldn't have released a film just for the sake of self-documentation,  I wanted it to express what I believe to be true about life - that it's not random, that everything has a reason and that we need to be conscious of life's little clues and how the dots all connect or we miss out.
