<p>Jay-Z and Beyonce have just posted the first photos of their new baby Blue Ivy Carty.</p>
<p>The Carter family started the Blue Ivy Carter Tumblr page at Hellowblueivycarter.com and wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a title="daily mail" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2099596/Beyonce-Jay-Z-post-snaps-baby-daughter-Blue-Ivy.html">Daily Mail reports</a> that several celebrities shop around the first photos of their baby to magazines. Jay-Z and Beyonce, however, decided to post the images up on their website for free. Do you like the way that the music superstars handled their first baby photos?</p>
<p>The website right contains a few photos of the family and nothing else. No word on if Jay-Z and Beyonce will use <a title="helloblueivycarter" href="http://helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com/">HelloBlueIvyCarter.com </a>to update photos of the child as it grows up.</p>
<p>Here are some more photos of Blue Ivy, Jay-Z, and Beyonce.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jay-Z and his new baby.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">These are the first public images of Blue Ivy but that doesn&#8217;t mean that the baby isn&#8217;t already a star. Jay-Z&#8217;s latest song &#8220;Glory&#8221; is dedicated to his newborn child.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s Jay-Z performing &#8220;Glory.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-192297" title="blue ivy trademark beyonce jay z" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2012/02/blue-ivy-tradmark-beyonce-jay-z.jpg" alt="blue ivy trademark beyonce jay z" width="449" height="379" /></p>
<p><strong>Blue Ivy</strong>. It&#8217;s an unusual name to give a child. However, that&#8217;s exactly what Jay-Z and Beyonce did when the singer <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177676/beyonce-gives-birth-to-baby-girl/">gave birth to a baby girl last month</a>. Blue Ivy was born on January 7th at Lennox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s already been <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/">a long-winded, tenuous explanation</a> about the kid&#8217;s name, but there might just be another dimension to this than: &#8216;<em>Beyonce&#8217;s favourite number is 4, which is IV in Roman numerals, and &#8216;I&#8217; and &#8216;V&#8217; appear in &#8216;Ivy.</em>&#8216;</p>
<p>I suggest this because Jay-Z and Beyonce have now filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the little girl&#8217;s name for possible use on a future range of baby goods, according to the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/blue-ivy-the-trademark-feds-move-fast-on-rights-to-beyonce-and-jay-zs-babys-name/2012/02/03/gIQAOTDGnQ_blog.html"><em>Washington Post</em></a>. Remember folks: it&#8217;s <em>always</em> wise to consider branding opportunities when choosing your child&#8217;s name.</p>
<p>The filing was made by the superstar couple on January 26, the 19th day of Blue Ivy&#8217;s young life. Yep, at three weeks, girl is already a brand!</p>
<p>Reportedly, a couple of entrepreneurs earlier made applications to protect the Blue Ivy name for themselves, but their attempts were rejected, which seems a little unfair. A &#8216;patent expert&#8217; told the <em>Post</em> that Jay-Z and Beyonce would have to go through the USPTO&#8217;s office &#8216;first-come, first-served procedure&#8217; like everybody else.</p>
<p>The trademarking of famous names and phrases is a common occurence, and when the names are associated with acts as popular as Jay-Z and Beyonce, the opportunists will come out of the woodwork.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/192241/mariah-and-beyonce-not-going-on-x-factor/beyonceandmariah/" rel="attachment wp-att-192242"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-192242" title="beyonceandmariah" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2012/02/beyonceandmariah.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="364" /></a></p>
<p>After <em>FOX&#8217;s</em> &#8220;The X-Factor&#8221; cleaned house by <a title="Simon Cowell Wanted Paula Abdul To Remain On X Factor" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/191972/simon-cowell-wanted-paula-abdul-to-remain-on-x-factor/">firing</a> Paula Abdul, Steve Jones, and Nicole Scherzinger, rumors have been flying all over about who&#8217;s going to fill in the chairs and if those names will be bigger than the two ladies and host.</p>
<p>Head show runner and producer Simon Cowell is denying the latest reports that Beyonce and Mariah Carey will fill in the seats next season. Initial reports said that Cowell offered Beyonce a hefty $100 to sit alongside him, but Cowell says it&#8217;s not true.</p>
<p>“No, I have no idea where this rumor came from,” the feisty Brit told “Extra.” “I read it online that I had offered her $100 million/year. It’s complete nonsense. The budget of the show is $100 million. No one’s gonna pay $100 million/year for someone. It would never ever, ever happen. It’s absolute nonsense and I genuinely haven’t had a conversation with her about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>As far as Mariah Carey coming on the show, the singer was supposed to help the judges but her plane got delayed due to the hurricane that hit last summer, but Cowell doesn&#8217;t have plans to approach the songstress with a permanent position. No, she’s not on the list because I don’t think Mariah would make that commitment. I really, really don’t. She’s just had kids. You have to work five days a week on this show and you’ve got to do all the traveling as well. Just to put it out there, she will not be on the list. I adore her, I would love her, but you can’t expect someone who’s just had two kids, who’s got a record career, to make the kind of commitment we would need on this show.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who do you think Simon will hire in place of the fired judges? Any other big names you can think of? Weigh in here!<strong><br />

<p>Beyonce has made her first post baby appearance, showing up at Jay-Z&#8217;s benefit concert for the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation at Carnegie Hall.</p>
<p>Beyonce appeared in a skin tight Alice Temperly red dress.  She also had a large blue ring and her nails painted blue in honor or her new daughter Blue Ivy Carter.</p>
<p>Jay-Z dedicated the concert to his daughter.  He sang the song &#8220;Glory&#8221; which he wrote for <a title="why jay-z and beyonce named their child blue ivy" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/" target="_blank">Blue Ivy</a> and got all choked up.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I was going to make it through that one. That was tough.&#8221; He said</p></blockquote>
<p>After the concert Beyonce and Jay-Z headed to the after-party at Jay’s 40/40 club. According to <a title="Beyonce attends Jay-Z concert" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/beyonce-steps-giving-birth-jay-z-benefit-carnegie-hall-article-1.1018364" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>the New York Daily News</em></a>, the new mom received congratulatory hugs on the birth of baby Blue from tons of A-List Stars.</p>

Jay-Z’s best-friend Tyran ‘Ty Ty’ Smith is set to become the godfather. Apparently, the hottest couple on Earth wanted to make sure that the godparents weren&#8217;t blood related.</p>
<p>Both Jay-Z and Beyonce have appeared on &#8216;The Oprah Winfrey Show&#8217;. Oprah did also send a trunk of children&#8217;s baby books to Jay-Z and Beyonce. Guess she was more highly thought of by the couple than anyone realized.</p>
<p>The public have not yet seen baby Blue Ivy, but Kelly Rowland has, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She&#8217;s just more precious than a diamond. She&#8217;s just so stunning&#8230; She&#8217;s beautiful.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>What do you make of it, folks? Would Oprah make the perfect godmother?</p>

The latest photograph, used as a promo for her latest album, is causing a lot of controversy on blogs and in the news. The reason? See for yourself, the photo shows <a title="Jay-Z and Beyonce Spoil Blue Ivy With $1.5 Million Worth of Gifts" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/179025/jay-z-and-beyonce-spoil-blue-ivy-with-1-5-million-worth-of-gifts/" target="_blank">Beyonce</a> in an extremely well-lit provocative pose which makes her skin appear a lot whiter than usual. But go back and have another look at the &#8220;4&#8243; album cover. As well as sporting the blonde hair, Beyonce also has the whiter skin tone. Who can tell what the marketing idea behind her new look really is.</p>
<p>Anthony Blades, founder of race blog, ThisIsYourConscious.com, had this to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s like, Again? Are we here again? I think in a lot of ways she&#8217;s culpable because there’s history there. She’s not saying explicitly you have to lighten your skin, but it does carry that inherent message.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Blades refers to the L&#8217;Oréal ad campaign from 2008 which caused a stir because her skin tone for that ad was also considerably lighter. L&#8217;Oréal denied making any digital changes to Beyonce&#8217;s skin tone:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We highly value our relationship with Ms Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L&#8217;Oreal Paris altered Ms Knowles&#8217; features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>But perhaps we&#8217;re all taking this a little too seriously and maybe Beyonce&#8217;s skin tone actually does alter throughout the year. What do you think? Should Beyonce take responsibility for how light her skin tone appears in promotional photographs?</p>

<p>Do you think Blue Ivy Carter will grow up just a wee bit spoiled? The world&#8217;s youngest celebrity is only a few days old but she&#8217;s already rocking bling and sitting in a diamond encrusted throne. Yep, Jay-Z and Beyonce have reportedly spent more than $1.5 million on their baby girl.</p>
<p><a title="us magazine" href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/beyonce-buys-baby-blue-ivy-carter-a-3500-lucite-crib-201291">US Magazine reports </a>that Jay-Z and Beyonce have bought their new baby plenty of new gifts, including a diamond-encrusted high chair and a $3500 lucite crib.</p>
<p>The celebrity parents have also built three identical 2,200 square foot nurseries in their three homes in the US for <a title="Blue Ivy Carter: How Jay-Z and Beyonce Chose Their Baby’s Name" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/">Blue Ivy</a>. According to <a title="news.com.au" href="http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/beyonce-and-jay-z-splash-the-cash-on-daughter-blue-ivy/story-e6frfmqi-1226241248177">News.com.au</a>, the nurseries cost the celebrity couple more than a $250,000.</p>
<p>An unidentified source relayed a few more details, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Together they’ve bought a Swarovski-studded high chair by Carla Monchen for $15,000, and a Fantasy ‘posh tots’ coach carriage crib for $40,000&#8230; Jay-Z bought Beyonce a solid gold handmade Ginza Tanaka rocking horse for $600,000. They’ve even splashed out on a $30,000 magical windmill playhouse for the garden and a mini Bugatti car, too. They’ve got baby charm bracelets, gold and platinum diamond rattles and dummies from Tiffany &amp; Co, too.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Blue Ivy also has her own security detail and several reports claim that <a title="Jay-Z and Beyonce Show Complete Disrespect For Others, Stop Father From Seeing Preemie Twins" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/178022/jay-z-and-beyonce-stop-father-from-seeing-preemie-twins/">Jay-Z spent $1.3 million at the Lenox Hill Hospital</a> to lock down a private wing while Beyonce gave birth. The hospital has denied that claim.</p>
<p>And on top of Blue Ivy&#8217;s lavish gifts, the new baby also has her first hit single. <a title="Jay-Z Drops New Track, Reveals Beyonce Had Miscarriage Before Blue Ivy [Audio Track]" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/178444/jay-z-drops-new-track-reveals-beyonce-had-miscarriage-before-blue-ivy-audio-track/">Jay-Z released a new song dedicated to his baby girl</a>. Jay-Z raps:</p>
<blockquote><p>“The most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think that Jay-Z and Beyonce are spoiling Blue Ivy?</p>

<p>Jay-Z dropped a bit of a bomb on Monday when he revealed that wife <a title="Blue Ivy Carter: How Jay-Z and Beyonce Chose Their Baby’s Name" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/">Beyonce</a> had a miscarriage before the couple were able to conceive daughter Blue Ivy.</p>
<p>News of the miscarriage arrived in the form of a song titled &#8220;Glory&#8221; which was released on Monday in honor of Blue Ivy&#8217;s birth this weekend.</p>
<p>In the song Jay-Z raps:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you&#8217;d disappear/But nah baby you magic.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>On the song an audio sample can be heard of Blue Ivy crying just a few minutes after she was born. The track was put together quickly with the help of super producer Pharrell.</p>
<p>Other lyrics include:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s the audio track from the song:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a touching song from the rapper, it&#8217;s just too bad he hasn&#8217;t had the same respect for other <a title="Jay-Z and Beyonce Show Complete Disrespect For Others, Stop Father From Seeing Preemie Twins" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/178022/jay-z-and-beyonce-stop-father-from-seeing-preemie-twins/">parents giving birth in the same hospital</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177676/beyonce-gives-birth-to-baby-girl/">Beyonce&#8217;s baby with rapper Jay-Z</a> is only a few days old, but <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/178022/jay-z-and-beyonce-stop-father-from-seeing-preemie-twins/">she&#8217;s already inherited her parents&#8217; ability</a> to promote a product or service.</p>
<p>Both Bey and Jay are skilled businesspeople as well as entertainers, with irons in the fire in fashion as well as on the stage- Beyonce with her line House of Dereon, and Hova with his Rocawear venture, for starters. Little Blue Ivy, however, is causing a stir for one company in an entirely different way.</p>
<p>It seems a Boston-area events company is having the best free PR week ever, as the business just so happened to be in possession of the Blue Ivy moniker well <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/">before baby Blue Ivy Carter made her appearance</a> at Lenox Hill hospital in Manhattan late last week. Lucky event planner Veronica Alexandra spoke to TMZ about the q-rating boost and said that all week long, her phone, Facebook, Twitter and every other possible method of communication have been blowing up due to the unexpected publicity.</p>
<p>Alexandra- whose exact role at the company is not clear, although it&#8217;s likely she is the owner- said that it&#8217;s probably Beyonce and Jay-Z were aware of the Blue Ivy connection prior to naming their new addition the same name as the Boston company, as up until recently, the original Blue Ivy dominated Google search results. But Alexandra certainly isn&#8217;t complaining about all the extra attention being lavished its way after the most anticipated baby in quite a while wound up sharing Blue Ivy&#8217;s name. In fact, Alexandra told TMZ she has a <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/09/beyonce-baby-blue-ivy/#.Twrvh2NSSH8">proposal for the new parents</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;Clearly great minds think alike, and who better than our Blue Ivy to plan events for B&amp;J&#8217;s Blue Ivy?&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think it&#8217;s a matter of time before the first Blue Ivy gets bought out so the name can be used for a line of baby and kids&#8217; fashion?</p>

<p>Jay-Z and Beyonce want to give their newborn baby the best life possible, even when that means locking down a hospital wing and preventing a father from seeing his two premature twin daughters.</p>
<p>A disgruntled dad recently revealed that the couple rented out an entire wing at Lenox Hill Hospital for $1.3 million while their security detail locked out parents from visiting their newborn children.</p>
<p>Brooklyn resident Neil Coulon, 38 says his wife was stressed after delivering preemie twins  and when he went to check on them he was told by Beyonce&#8217;s bodyguards that he couldn&#8217;t visit his daughters. Coulon told the <a title="Jay-Z and Beyonce hate other people's babies" href="http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/9893991-452/beyonce-jay-z-spent-big-to-keep-their-baby-under-wraps.html">Chicago Sun-Times</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday — just because they wanted to use the hallway.&#8221;</p>
<p>“They should have been more strategic about it,” he continued. “These are children with problems in intensive care and you’re just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In the meantime <a title="Blue Ivy Carter: How Jay-Z and Beyonce Chose Their Baby’s Name" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177862/blue-ivy-carter-how-jay-z-and-beyonce-chose-their-babys-name/">Jay-Z</a> was having a party in the rented out wing of the hospital for little baby girl Blue Ivy, reportedly bringing in bottles of champagne for friends and family to enjoy.</p>
<p>The story was confirmed by a hospital staffer who revealed:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Some people were upset &#8230; I heard a gentleman say he couldn’t go upstairs to see his baby [Saturday].</p></blockquote>
<p>That staffer adds:</p>
<blockquote><p>“People are really upset and complaining,” while noting that medical staff must “shut down” whenever Beyonce moves about.</p></blockquote>
<p>$1.3 million isn&#8217;t a bad payday for the hospital, that is until parents with children in the NICU start filing lawsuits.</p>
<p>Would you hesitate to sue the money hungry Lenox Hill Hospital for their stupidity?</p>
<p>Hopefully Jay-Z and Beyonce don&#8217;t end up raising an entitled little brat that matches their parents own disrespect for other people. Then again who am I kidding, the kids already headed in that direction.</p>

<p>Last night Jay-Z and Beyonce <a title="Beyonce Gives Birth to Baby Girl" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/177676/beyonce-gives-birth-to-baby-girl/">welcomed their first child, </a>Blue Ivy Carter, into the world. The newborn girl has already started a Twitter trend and several celebrities and thousands of fans have been sending their congratulations to the music making couple all morning long.</p>
<p>Rihanna wrote: &#8220;Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gwyneth Paltrow added: &#8220;Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already.&#8221;</p>
<p>Russell Simmons said: &#8220;Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.&#8221;</p>
<p>Initial reports stated that Jay-Z and Beyonce had named their baby girl Ivy Blue Carter but it has now been revealed that the child&#8217;s name is actually Blue Ivy Carter. <a title="mtv" href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/01/08/blue-ivy-carter-jay-z-baby-name-also-his-favorite-color/">MTV dug a little deeper</a> into the name and believes that they have found out why the celebrity couple landed on Blue Ivy.</p>
<p>In a nut shell, Jay-Z&#8217;s favorite color is blue. Jay-Z&#8217;s album &#8220;The Blueprint&#8221; is regarded as a hip-hop classic (He&#8217;s released two follow-ups to complete the Blueprint trilogy) and spit the line &#8220;my favorite hue is Jay-Z blue&#8221; in the song &#8220;Go Crazy.&#8221;</p>
<p><object width="420" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAE5KhQQzd4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="420" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eAE5KhQQzd4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>Blue is also a four letter word, which for Beyonce, is very important. Beyonce has repeatedly said that the number four is very important to her. Beyonce said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It&#8217;s the day I was born. My mother&#8217;s birthday, and a lot of my friends&#8217; birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is also my wedding date.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Beyonce&#8217;s affinity for the number four also explains the Ivy part of her child&#8217;s name. Ivy contains IV which is the roman numeral for four. According to the Global Grind, Ivy may also hint that Jay-Z and Beyonce are going to have more kids. The <a title="global grind" href="http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/beyonce-jay-z-baby-name-blue-ivy-carter-meaning-birth-photos-pics-pictures-lennox-hill">Global Grind writes:</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Ivy comes from the plant which symbolizes eternity. Greek and Roman societies admired the ivy plant for its hardiness and longevity. They believed the plant aided fertility. Could this mean more children for Beyonce and Hova?&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>What do you think of the name Blue Ivy Carter? Are you happy for Jay-Z and Beyonce?</p>

<p>No matter how rich and fabulous Beyonce is- and even if you&#8217;re covered in spit up and without the assistance of several nannies, much less one, as you&#8217;re reading this- it&#8217;s difficult not to sympathize with the chart-topping singer in light of this kind of coverage.</p>
<p>Bey and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, took some time out for a pre-baby date over the weekend. The pair kept a somewhat low profile over the holiday, hanging out in Hova&#8217;s native Brooklyn at the restaurant Buttermilk Channel. Reportedly dining on oysters and fried chicken, however, <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/175168/beyonces-still-pregnant-but-looks-ready-to-pop-at-any-time/">poor pregnant Beyonce</a> could not stay out of the glare of nosy onlookers who made some backhanded comments about the star&#8217;s appearance to the press. (If you&#8217;ve ever been pregnant, you know such remarks get tiresome somewhere around the sixth week, and it always sucks when someone starts telling you you look good for someone who is so fat, ad infinitum.)</p>
<p>Tell me you don&#8217;t want to smack <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1676647/beyonce-pregnant-new-years.jhtml">whoever said this</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman&#8230; She looked like she was about to give birth.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The nosy spy continued:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She was definitely a pregnant lady that night&#8230; They sat side by side and had a cozy and intimate dinner. They seemed to be having a lovely time.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The outing countered rumors that appeared on British tabloid sites, <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/165014/beyonce-discusses-pregnancy-cravings-vma-reveal/">stating that the mom-to-be</a> and the rap guru had been spotted around Brooklyn and that baby Z had already arrived. As of yet, Beyonce has been mum about her due date.</p>

<p>After several years of false rumors of Beyonce and Jay-Z spawning, we learned dramatically at the MTV Video Music Awards that Bey was indeed pregnant with the couple&#8217;s much-awaited first child.</p>
<p>Now that the secret is out, Beyonce has been speaking to press about her excitement, baby plans, Jay&#8217;s reaction and even rumors that she at least in part enhanced her pregnant look to grab headlines. (A suggestion she says is &#8220;so far out&#8221; it doesn&#8217;t warrant comment.)</p>
<p>But rumors definitely get up to the singer from time to time- most notably for Beyonce, on a recent flight. She recounts:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was on a plane and the flight attendant came and was like, &#8216;I have your hot sauce and pickles and bananas.&#8217; And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;That is absolutely disgusting, what are you doing?&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;I read it on the Internet.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Of her decision to silently announce her good news at the VMA, Beyonce told Katie Couric:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Physically I was starting to show, so it was only a matter of days before someone zoomed in&#8230; So I just wanted it to be from me, and I wanted it to be something that was a celebration of something so beautiful. And I didn&#8217;t want to release a picture or a statement. I figured the biggest statement was to- just be.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Afterwards, Beyonce says she was fully able to relax and enjoy her baby joy. She describes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;I just felt free. I really did because I&#8217;d been holding the most exciting thing in for so long, and I just felt like, Wow, now I can enjoy, and now I can just experience this the way that every woman should. So I felt so liberated, and I felt like, Oh, I can breathe and be happy.&#8217; And, you know, it was a beautiful feeling. … I went straight off the stage and just cried. I hugged my mom, I hugged Jay and just cried. It was a beautiful day.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Bey declined to confirm former bandmate Kelly Rowland&#8217;s assertion that the baby is a girl, and she has not disclosed when the child is due to arrive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-137448" title="beyonce DVD" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2011/08/beyonce-pregnant.jpg" alt="beyonce DVD" width="400" height="475" /></p>
<p>You could be forgiven if you thought Beyonce might not be all that secretive about her headline grabbing pregnancy.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old singer has long been attracting speculation- since she hooked up with reigning rap star Jay-Z- about when the hip-hop power couple would decide to start their family. And Beyonce&#8217;s big reveal- wearing a figure hugging garment at an awards show- set off tabloids and gossip columns. Talk soon bizarrely turned to weather Beyonce was padding her dresses to cause her pregnancy to appear more dramatic, and speculation that the singer was &#8220;faking it&#8221; at least a little bit was rife.</p>
<p>But Beyonce has opened up about the timing of announcing the pregnancy, talking about performing and keeping the news under wraps while at the New York screening of her new DVD concert Sunday night. Bey was answering questions while hosting an event at New York City&#8217;s Paris Theater to mark the release of the DVD concert &#8220;Live at Roseland,&#8221; and the singer says she thought that her pregnancy was obvious at shows she did before the announcement.</p>
<p>The pop star said, in regards to dancing in a mini-dress before the story was public:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The whole time I definitely was thinking, &#8216;Everyone knows, everyone can see&#8230;&#8217; when you&#8217;re pregnant, it&#8217;s a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Beyonce said the release- which features a lot of footage filmed during her pregnancy- will also serve as a video memento for the baby when he or she is born, thinking, as the singer joked, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I was in that belly!&#8221;</p>

<p>First Beyonce and Jay-Z built a 2,000 square foot nursery in their New York pad, then they bought a $1 million custom made Mercedes van complete with a bathroom, shower, wifi , satellite TV plus $150,000 sound system and now it looks like their baby will even be taking baths like royalty.</p>
<p>According to reports Beyonce&#8217;s former Destiny&#8217;s child partner <a title="Kelly Rowland pulls double ‘wardrobe malfunction’ after New Jersey concert" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/133215/kelly-rowland-pulls-double-wardrobe-malfunction-after-new-jersey-concert/">Kelly Rowland</a> has purchased a $5,2000 gift known as the <em>Baby Diamond Bathtub. </em>The high-end item is covered in pink-Swarovski crystals and is the perfect size to wash a baby or a pet.</p>
<p>The tub according to the company that makes it features 44,928 crystals and weighs 3,000 pounds.</p>
<p>You may recall that it was Rowland who accidentally let it be known that Jay-Z and Beyonce were having a girl when she revealed:</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8221;I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible,&#8221; and &#8220;She won’t be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that their baby will be spoiled beyond belief, regardless of what Jay-Z claims.</p>
<p>Do you think such an expensive bathtub is really necessary? After all you could wash the baby in a sink and they&#8217;ll have no idea what&#8217;s going on.</p>

<p>According to one source:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Beyonce is thrilled she’s having a daughter. She and her mother are so close, and she’s wanted to have that relationship with her own child.”</p></blockquote>

<p>If all the love of her parents isn&#8217;t enough Baby Beyonce will also have their very own 2,000 square foot nursery in her parents apartment and she&#8217;ll be cruising around in a $1 million mini van from Mercedes which includes it&#8217;s own bathroom with a full shower along with DirecTV, WiFi capabilities and a $150,000 sound system.</p>

<p>Singer Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay-Z are preparing for parenthood like many parents, purchasing a van to haul around their soon to be born child.</p>
<p>Where the couple differs from most parents comes from the type of van they purchased, a $1 million customized Mercedes that features a $150,000 audio system, a full bathroom with a shower and wiring for DirectTV and WiFi access.</p>
<p>The van is apparently so big that Beyonce was helped out of the vehicle by two assistance when arriving at a meeting in New York City.</p>
<p>It shouldn&#8217;t surprise <a title="Beyonce Faking Pregnancy, Suggest Internet Idiots" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/151103/beyonce-faking-pregnancy/">Beyonce</a> fans that she would spare no expense for the arrival of her little tot, she has already converted 2,200 square feet of her TriBeCa apartment into a nursery, leaving one insider to muse:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Some people are like, &#8216;Won&#8217;t you be scared to leave your baby in that huge room?&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure with a full bathroom and a shower with DirecTV Chris Farley would have been more than happy to live in this van down by the river.</p>
<p>Do you think the expecting couple have went a little bit overboard in planning for the arrival of their first child?</p>

Is Beyonce faking <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/149524/beyonce-announces-babys-due-date/">her pregnancy</a>? That&#8217;s the verdict of many Internet dwellers, it would seem.</p>
<p>Since her appearance on Australia&#8217;s &#8216;Sunday Night&#8217; show, the conspiracy theorists have been out in full flow. On said chat show, the singer was rocking a closely fitted red dress, and when she sat down, her baby bump appeared to FOLD.</p>
<p>In 2011, this sexist nonsense apparently counts as evidence that Beyonce is faking carrying human life. Groan.</p>
<p>Depressingly, many nitwits have been trawling recent pictures of the singer to back up their claims, presumably between watching YouTube clips about the Illuminati and Nazi moon bases.</p>
<p>Needless to say, reps for the singer have dismissed the suggestions of fakery, calling them &#8220;stupid, ridiculous, and false.&#8221;And Beyonce has also been defended by the host of &#8216;Sunday Night,&#8217; Molly Meldrum. The Aussie TV personality phoned a radio show to let rip:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is a baby under Beyonce’s bonnet, as you put it, yes. She’s not freaking out [about the rumors], nor is Jay-Z &#8211; they are delighted. [The rumor is] the biggest nonsense I’ve ever heard in my life. She is well and truly pregnant, believe me, and the baby is due out in February. I think that’s weird. People’s imaginations tend to go a bit too wild.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Chivalrous stuff, but slightly undermined by the fact Meldrum&#8217;s show replayed the &#8220;folding bump&#8221; footage on their show last night from three different angles. Nice one, guys.</p>

<p>Pop star Beyonce was speaking with an Australian TV show this week when she announced the due date for her first child.</p>
<p>Beyonce didn&#8217;t give the exact date but said she&#8217;s due on February 2012 an that her and husband/rapper Jay-Z couldn&#8217;t be happier about the arrival of their little bundle of joy.</p>
<p>After announcing the month her baby will be born Beyonce said:</p>
<blockquote><p>My husband [<a title="Pregnant Beyonce Finds Jay-Z’s Smell Unpalatable" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/146258/pregnant-beyonce-finds-jay-zs-smell-unpalatable/">Jay-Z</a>] and I have been together for 10 years. All of my 20s. I feel like it is time [for a baby] … I am very grateful that God has blessed me with the biggest gift a human being can have. Because I have accomplished a lot of things for myself and I really know who I am, I didn’t rush into anything. If there is any time, right now is the time, and I am so happy.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s the interview:</p>

<p>Congratulations once again to the happy family, I have a feeling there will be a lot of coverage when their newborn bundle of joy arrives.</p>
