Beyonce cancels show in Belgium

Beyonce has caught the ailment that is an epidemic among celebrities: dehydration and exhaustion. She's canceling her concert in Belgium, scheduled tonight, because of the elite sickness, her publicist told the Associated Press.

She was also scheduled to perform in Belgium on Wednesday. However, the publicist says that "she is awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision" on that show. 

The problem with "dehydration" and "exhaustion" though is that they often seem to be code words for other ailments. In this case, people suspect that the real culprit for the canceled show is another baby.

A source  told People that she is "planning for another baby after her tour is over and things calm down just a bit." And some anonymous "music insiders" apparently told the New York Post that Beyonce is already expecting. 

Beyonce launched the  "The Mrs. Carter Show" world tour last month in Belgrade, Serbia. It's scheduled to conclude on August 5 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Her first child, Blue Ivy Carter, was born January 7, 2012.
