With around the clock attention for Blue Ivy, Beyonce isn’t taking ANY chances with her daughter’s welfare!

Beyonce wants nothing but the best for her little girl… including a total of six nannies! The 30-year-old has two nannies on call at all times to assure Blue Ivy Carter “has the best of care,” a friend of the singer told In Touch. “Her diaper is changed almost every hour.”

That’s not the only lavish treatment Blue Ivy is receiving. Proud papa Hov ”bought her diamond earrings and a platinum bracelet,” reveals the friend. Blue’s parents even bought her a $600 thousand gold rocking horse!

Beyonce and Jay-Z are putting all other celebrity parents to shame with these first class luxuries for their little princess. Must be nice!

Do YOU think Beyonce really needs six nannies?

“Blue Ivy Carter NYC” Designer to Release Rights to Trademark Name

The New York designer, who trademarked Jay-Z and Beyonce’s daughter‘s name just days after her birth, has finally spoken.

According to HipHopwired.com, the designer, Joseph Mbeh, released a statement Tuesday (February 1) announcing that he will release the rights to the trademark.

On January 11, Mbeh reportedly submitted a trademark application for the name “Blue Ivy Carter NYC” without the Carter’s consent. He planned to use the name to market an “infant, toddler and junior clothing” line.

In the statement, Mbeh, who heads the firm Intricate Conceptions, outlined his intentions for the brand, claiming that the media’s portrayal of his actions was “misconstrued.”

“What happened was that the media found out about the trademark and decided to spin their own story,” he said. “ Most just copied the information from one source and ran with it without fact-checking or even contacting our office to get clarification.”

“In 3 days, the media ran with a story that misrepresented me and made it seem as if I was an unexperienced intern and suggested that our intent was to exploit Blue Ivy Carter,” Mbeh continued. “Since the media misconstrued our intentions, we have chosen to respond by first revealing our intentions and secondly by releasing our rights to the trademark.”

Although he is releasing his rights to the trademark, Mbeh still hopes to meet with Jay and Bey to discuss the future of the “Blue Ivy NYC” brand.

“Hopefully this will help to share a little about our company, represent our true objectives, and result in a creative partnership with The Carters,” he concluded. —Shamecca Harris

After Beyonce and Jay-Z announced the birth of their precious daughter Blue Ivy, the world stopped to praise the couple for starting a legacy. But not all were all smiles, particularly some very outspoken celebrities.

Someone who doesn’t hold back, actress and comedienne Roseanne Barr, unleashed her tongue toward the couple. She took to Twitter to slap the world back to earth and shared some of her very ‘loving’ thoughts about the new parents.

She went on a serious rant about Beyonce, even scolding the president for inviting the singer to perform legendary Etta James’ classic, “At Last.”

“I lost ALL respect for Obama when he dissed Etta James in favor of Beyonce,” she posted to her Twitter page. “I have not listened to anything Beyonce or Jay z has said or recorded since they did that to Etta. Their arrogance was disgusting,” she added.

But it didn’t stop there. Fans of the couple came to their defense, however, Ms. Barr wasn’t going down easy.

She lashed on the fans saying:

”Beyonce’s fans are really ignorant-she should not be proud of entertaining drooling mutants!” and “just finished telling all of beyonce’s cheesy stupid a– fans who slammed me to go and f— themselves! It was fun!

Later Roseanne retracted her statements about Beyonce being a worse singer than infamous ‘American Idol’ hopeful Sanjaya Malakar, but not about her and Jay-Z’s “disgusting arrogance.”:

“I sincerely want2 apologize 4 the rude comments I made2 twitters defending the fabulously talented Beyonce. I reverted 2 stand up slams,” she wrote.”

All we can say is huh?

According to Mediatakeout:

According to an EXTREMELY reliable insider, Jigga and Bey have chosen OPRAH WINFREY to be the godmother, and Jay’s best friend Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, the godfather. So why Oprah . . . Well word is that Oprah has become a CLOSE PERSONAL friend to both Jay and Bey. And the pair wanted to give the “godparents” role to people NOT ALREADY related to them by family (i.e. Solange, or Bey’s BF – her cousin Angie)

Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that the new GODMOTHER is the most POWERFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD not named MICHELLE OBAMA!!!

*Ok, brace yourself. Hip Hop royalty has decided it’s time to take a leap for the music  industry and film a video …  in space.

Power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have already made plans for the future just after they’ve brought Blue Ivy to the world and buying the most expensive toy the world has ever seen – an all gold rocking horse purchased at $614,000, reports MTV News.

They are going to take a suborbital space trip on the Virgin Galactic and film the most monumental videos the music industry has never thought of.

Besides, tickets are only $200,000 a person.

For what song or production this could be for? Your guess is as good as any.

But this is up in the air, no pun intended. If they do pull this off, a space music video in space might be the king of all music videos.

Shawn (Jay-Z) Carter attends a press event to announce his Carnegie Hall performances to benefit the United Way and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation in New York on Dec. 8.

Blue Ivy Carter is one rich baby. With her father Shawn (Jay-Z) Carter worth $450 million and her mother, Beyonce, the highest paid female performer, Blue will be able to have anything money can buy.

But she is also rich in love, as Jay-Z exults in his song “Glory.”

The best part? A lot of other babies are going to benefit. Because Jay-Z’s ecstatic reaction to being a dad will be the strongest boost yet to a growing movement in the black community encouraging responsible fatherhood.

“When pop died, I didn’t cry; didn’t know him that well,” Jay-Z once rapped.

“This sounds cold,” he explains in his riveting memoir “Decoded.” “But the truth is that my father left my family for good when I was young.”

Jay-Z Releases New Song “Glory” Dedicated To Baby Girl Blue Ivy

Nine years old, to be exact.

“Three months after we had our first conversation in 20 years, he died. … I realized that yeah, of course every father that bounced had a reason. I didn’t excuse him for leaving his kids, but I started to understand.”

And — as he’s rapped — to forgive. And to move on to be a great father himself. And in doing so, encourage other men to do the same.

The black sociologist Dr. Edward Franklin Frazier said way back in the 1930s that the cruel tearing apart of slave families would haunt us for generations, and it has.

Seventy-two percent of African-American children are raised by a single parent — usually the mother, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Turning this situation around has been about as easy as steering a cruise ship through a U-turn in a storm.

Leaders of the black families movement were cheered by Jay-Z’s anthem to fatherhood.

“Jay-Z is opening his heart and exposing the raw emotion behind his growing up fatherless, and his conviction to never let his daughter suffer the same fate,” wrote mother Denene Millner on her popular site mybrownbaby.blogspot.com.

Millner’s husband Nick Chiles is writing the book “Fatherhood” with President Obama’s Fatherhood Initiative rep Etan Thomas, the Atlanta Hawks center.

“This is a condition that our community specifically suffers greatly from, and the idea that this rapper would pen a song expressing his joy of being a daddy and his vow to do right by (Blue Ivy) sends a pretty powerful message to those who need it most,” she said.

Check the tweets:

Sheesh, I’m glad my auntie doesn’t talk like that. What a twitter trainwreck!

And in case you are wondering, her page was not hacked! She issued an apology earlier today:

The most interesting piece of information was that, through all of the profanity and trashtalking, Rosie was basically confirming that Etta James was hurt when she was overlooked by the President to sing the song she made iconic, however Beyonce shouldn’t take the blame. There isn’t a singer out there that would have passed up that opportunity.

Fellow legend Aretha Franklin also wrote: “Etta James was one of the great soul singers of our generation. An American original! I loved “Pushover,” “At Last” and almost any and everything she recorded!!! When Etta SUNG, you heard it!”

When Beyonce gave birth to her and Jay-Z’s first baby, Blue Ivy Carter, we were sure thatPeople 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 herpicture, it’s her birth, and we didn’t want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out ofthe 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.”
