Gotta love a celeb that’s true to her words. Seriously, though.

When asked if she’ll be a mother at some point, uber-talented Beyonce Knowles indicated yes… but just not now. It’s always good when a celeb speaks from the heart. After all, her recent role as a mother in the new flick Obsessed probably had something to do with it. And the fact that she’s been a newlywed for only one year, well, perhaps the 27-year-old figures there’s time and the clock has not even begun to chime just yet.

While the singer, dancer, actress, all of the above indicates she most definitely wants to be a mom someday, she’s just not sure when. Her role in Obsessed reminded me of what happens when you’re in the seventh grade and you have to take care of a hard-boiled egg for an entire week as if it’s a baby and have someone watch it, take it to dance class with you, etc. (Okay, was that just me and the ‘burbs of New Jersey?) Ultimately, the seventh-graders realized how much we cherished our freedom and how fragile that little ol’ egg really was! (Yes, that means I dropped mine and it cracked and broke, reproductive game over. <sigh>)

As I was saying, instead of infusing the pitter-patter of little feet, Beyonce’s role of mother completely deterred her from the thought for now. Beyonce mentioned it reminded her how much work it will be to become a mom!

I give Beyonce props for speaking her mind and knowing when the time isn’t right to bring a child into the world. How many celebs can you think of who have had babies just ‘cuz they wanted it (cough-Britney Spears-cough, cough) and didn’t realize it perhaps wasn’t the best circumstances to raise a child or two or, let’s say, eight? (Octomom, anyone?)
