Pregnant man Thomas Beatie reckons he should have been picked for this season’s “Dancing with the Stars”, but that he had his offer stolen off him by Chaz Bono – an American transgender advocate.

“Chaz Bono stole my thunder,” he tells TMZ, adding that he had contacted the show’s casting team a few months back in the hope of landing a spot, but never got a call back. But when DWTS announced they would be taking on Bono, Beatie decided it was time to speak up agaist the injustice.

Now, Beatie claims he was not picked because the transgender quota had already been filled and not because he has done nothing in the least bit extraordinary with his life other than get his breasts removed and get pregnant.

Chaz Bono stole Thomas Beatie's thunder

He says he understands why producers would not cast two famous transgender people side by side, but says he is pretty disappointed nonetheless. “I wanted to try my new body out. I’m an athlete and I know I would have excelled.”

Chaz Bono is the only child famous musical duo Sonny and Cher had together. Born Chastity Sun Bono, Chaz came out as a lesbian in 1995, not much to the initial appreciation of her gay icon mother. But Cher soon came around, and even started getting involved in LGBT rights campaign work alongside her daughter. Chaz’s father, however, was less tolerant, especially after he became a Republican Congressman.

In 2008, Bono began undergoing physical and social gender transition from female to male. The legal transition was completed in 2010. In the meanwhile, Chaz had a film made documenting his journey, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and the rights to which were later acquired by Oprah.

[adsense]In the same year as Bono began his transition, Thomas Beatie became the first “legally” pregnant man. Beatie, who had undergone the transition years previously but chose to retain his female reproductive organs, decided to have a child after it transpired that his wife Nancy was infertile. Since 2008, he has given birth to three children – two boy and a girl.

In 2010, Beatie was joined by Scott Moore – another transgender man to give birth.

The news was later confirmed by her wedding dress designer, Delphine Manivet, following online reports that Allen’s new husband had broken the news to guests at the wedding breakfast.

Mme Manivet, who is based in Paris, told the Telegraph: “It’s beautiful that she is pregnant, and I am very happy for her. She is very happy about that – it is something wonderful.”

She added: “You can see of course the little stomach – it looked very cute with the dress.For me, and for her too, when you’re pregnant you want to show that, but also be respectful, so the dress was perfect for her for that moment.”

There was a lot of speculation surrounding Allen’s dress as many thought she would opt for Chanel, but Mme Manivet had in fact already been contacted by the singer in January, having been recommended by a friend.

“Lily is a girl who is quite rock and roll, but her wedding she wanted to be traditional,” Mme Manivet said of the star’s style on her big day.

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the world, it happened. What’s the worst possible thing that could happen in the celebrity universe, besides Gaga cloning herself or Madonna releasing another single? Yes, the most feared uterus in the history of showbiz has produced children.

Mariah Carey is now the mother of human twins. And not just the bloated, pendulous space hoppers that she has been swinging about in public since her career began, but proper human children.

Mariah Carey does her best to display all four twins

The diva and husband Nick Cannon tried hard to keep the pregnancy as quiet and private as possible, by recently posing naked and pregnant for the cover of tasteless celebrity trash rag, Ok! Magazine. The kind of insipid periodical Carey would feel most at home in.

Scary Carey began having cuntractions reaching 8.7 on the Richter Scale (a little less than the earthquake that shook Chile in 2010, claiming hundreds of lives) and finally the unstoppable media hungry songstress was rushed into her own private bespoke hospital once her dilated uterus was clearly visible from space, and then finally extruded the hallowed progeny from her celebrity three-octave vagina at 12.07pm in LA.

In an interview with (not) OK! Magazine, the couple didn’t reportedly say that they didn’t care what gender their imminent progeny were, so long as they had high cheekbones, and could manage at least a 4-and-a-half octave vocal range and were human.

Mariah Carey unexpectedly gave birth to human twins in a pool. They almost drowned in her bikini.

According to ‘sources’ the entertainer’s uterus is lined with the pelts of rare animals and includes a recording studio, home cinema and parking space for at least four vintage sports cars and a 4×4 for navigating the unpredictable terrain of LA’s highways.

Unfortunately, the cuntractions began so suddenly, that Mariah was unable to deliver her baby celebrities at a private audience for Gaddafi as hoped.

The twins, as yet unnamed, are hoping to tour the US in Fall in order to promote their first single and new range of diapers endorsed by their mother.

Nicole Richie, who recently tied the knot with long-term partner Joel Madden, is far from impressed with the rumors doing the rounds that she is pregnant and has made her thoughts about the media gossip very clear in a statement.

“Contrary to recent speculation, I am not pregnant”, the mother of two said to People.

“This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity.

“To publicly point out a change in anyone’s body is mean-spirited and cruel.

“People’s bodies change and change again. This is not newsworthy and is a waste of valuable media space that should be used for more important issues,” the 29 year old added.

The former reality star’s weight dropped to a worrying low in the past and when pictures of her looking rail thin in a bikini looking rail thin surface, specualtion that she was suffering from an eating disorder –which she has always vehemently denied — was rife.

“It was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don’t,” Richie said in the March  2010 issue of Marie Claire UK.

[adsense] “It’s extremely insulting and irresponsible. An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease,” she added.

Actress Keira Knightley is another celebrity who denies having an eating disorder, in spite of being very thin. Felicity Huffman, Thandie Newton and Paula Abdul, however, have all admitted to having suffered from anorexia or bulimia.
