Blue Ivy Carter Is Already Spoiled With Six Nannies
by Lydia Harris on Feb.04, 2012, under articles

We haven’t really heard much from Beyonce and Jay-Z since the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, but a source has revealed that their precious bundle of joy is already spoiled. And by spoiled, we mean that she’s got non-stop nanny care, a diaper change every hour and a pink sapphire encrusted bottle.
Reportedly, the tot has two nannies on call at all times, which totals six — around the clock. A source said, “Beyonce wanted to make sure that her daughter has the best of care. Her diaper is changed every hour.”
Jay-Z is also pouring on the attention to their new addition, in the way of purchasing bling for her. The source said, “Jay-Z bought her diamond earrings and a platinum baby bracelet. Even her bottle has pink sapphires on it.”
It seems like a lot of stuff to get for a baby, but they’ve got the money….So, more power to them! What do you think?

Blue Ivy Carter Photos To Sell For $14 Million?
by Lydia Harris on Jan.21, 2012, under articles

When Beyonce gave birth to her and Jay-Z’s first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, we were sure that People magazine would have hopped all over that deal.
They’ve shelled out the big bucks for baby photos before, so why should Bey and Jay’s offspring be any different? They were the first magazine to show off Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins, Knox and Vivienne. In addition, several high profile celebrities have also sold the first pictures of their new babies.
Jessica Alba would know all about selling off her first daughter, Honor’s baby photos. She had a deal with OK! magazine for the first pics that scored her a whopping $1.5 million. Now, it’s being rumored that the first pictures of Blue Ivy could net the Carters a cool $14 million!
Jessica said, “For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It’s her picture, it’s her birth, and we didn’t want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time.”
She went on to say, “If there’s a price tag on your child – which is so bizarre – people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria.”
On the topic of Beyonce’s new addition, she added, “To each his own. The biggest thing is having a healthy baby. I’m sure Beyonce will make the best decision for her family.”

People Magazine To Score First Photos Of Blue Ivy Carter?
by Roberta Ferguson on Jan.10, 2012, under articles

Now that Beyonce has given birth to her and Jay-Z’s first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, we’re left wondering who is going to snatch up the first photos of their new addition?
People magazine is likely to stage the first photo shoot of the daughter of the R&B singer and rapper.
It was said that Bey and Jay paid $1.3 million to seal off the maternity wing over at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York so that they could bring their baby into the world. Reportedly, staffers were made to sign confidentiality agreements, along with turning in all types of recording devices (cell phones) at the beginning of their shifts.
So it only stands to reason that either they really just wanted some quality alone time as a family — or they are getting a huge payday from a magazine for the first shots of them all together as a family.
It wouldn’t surprise us to hear that People is publishing the first pictures of the baby here in the States, while Hello! magazine gets them for the U.K. What do you think?
We shall see when the new magazine covers come out tomorrow! It’s not too soon to show off their newborn baby, is it? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts and let’s all hope that their baby bares a striking resemblance to Beyonce! Ha.
Keep refreshing and we’ll have pictures of baby Blue when they are made available!
Thanks Anita!
Update: We’ve heard from our sister site that Beyonce and the baby have left the hospital! Let’s hope someone grabs pics!

by Jessica LeFevre on Jan.08, 2012, under articles

After announcing that she was pregnant with her and Jay-Z’s first child, Beyonce has given birth!
Congratulations to the happy couple!
A very pregnant Beyonce checked into the upper East Side hospital Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” a hospital staffer told the Daily News.
Beyonce and her hip-hop hubby, Jay-Z, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million, the employee said.
In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, the source said.
Several security guards were spotted patrolling the outside of the hospital Saturday night.
A Lenox Hill staffer confirmed that a patient named Ingrid Jackson was in a “labor room.”
Congratulations on their bundle of joy. We have to wonder what they named their daughter! Any guesses? Jayonce? Destiny, maybe?
What do you think? Sound off in the comments and we will keep you updated when the news comes out, along with photos of their precious addition. Stay tuned!
Update: Rihanna has just tweeted her congratulations to the happy couple, saying, “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih”.

Update #3: We’re hearing that they’ve actually named her Blue Ivy. Stay tuned for the official confirmation!

Jay-Z goes on to say, “Not only was I impressed with his performances, but to see the confidence he sang with, his lyrics and diction were on point.”
And there’s more. We’re told that Jigga and ‘em are working FEVERISHLY . . . to get Astro onto WILLOW SMITH’S new track.
Well, if the rumors are true, then we’ve got nothing but congratulations to Astro. He’s a phenomenal rapper and we knew that he would get signed. Good for him! I wonder if he’s going to record his audition track, Stop Lookin’ At My Mom! Now that would be rockin’.
Would you buy Astro’s music?
Beyonce Says Jay-Z Will Be An Inspirational Father
by Roberta Ferguson on Nov.09, 2011, under articles

In August, songstress Beyonce stole the show on the red carpet at the 2011 Video Music Awards by announcing that she’s pregnant by hubby, Jay-Z. Afterward, it was revealed that Beyonce couldn’t wait to tell the whole world about her happy baby news. Now, she’s talking about the type of father Jay-Z is going to be.
She revealed, “Of course he will be a good father. His music has inspired millions of people over the last two decades, but he inspires the people around him on a more personal level too. He’s an inspirational artist, friend and husband and his next step is to be an inspirational father. He’s everything you could ask for in a husband and friend.”
How sweet! You can really tell that they’re totally in love, can’t you?
In a recent interview with Closer magazine, she said, “It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do or where you are from, your marriage will [work if] you both put effort into it and make sacrifices. Before you’re married, you can be selfish because you have nobody to answer to, but when you’re both married you both find things have to change.”
She added, “Marriage is great because, if it’s managed in the right way, it will make you a more complete person. It forces you to change the things you need to change about yourself and that can only be a good thing.”

Jay-Z Refused To Clap For Chris Brown’s VMAs Performance (Photo)
by Jessica LeFevre on Aug.29, 2011, under articles

During last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, Chris Brown was said to have put on quite the show. So much, in fact, people were left commenting about how good it was. Celebrities in attendance, stood and clapped for the often troubled singer. With one exception, of course.
As Kanye West and others stood up and clapped, Jay-Z was sitting tight, looking bored. After all, Jay is probably still holding a grudge against Chris for what he did to Rihanna. He discovered Rihanna, so it stands to reason that he’s still holding on to a beef with him.
Either that, or he’s busy with babies on the brain. Beyonce announced her pregnancy on the red carpet at the event and even showed off her baby bump!
What do you think of the situation? Is Jay still not feeling any reason to be nice to Chris Brown, no matter how many times he moonwalks on the stage? Sound off in the comments!
