Yesterday, I along with the rest of the world was wrong when I reported the name chosen by Beyonce and Jay-Z for their child was Ivy Blue. We were all wrong because I don't think anyone could honestly imagine naming their child Blue Ivy so assumed it had to be Ivy Blue. It turns out that the whole IV thing was wrong too. The real explanation for why the child was named Blue is because Beyonce hated the idea that Moroccan would be the only adjective born this year to a singer and Jay-Z got on board once the Ivy Carter was added because he has always wanted a child named after a cigarette lighter. BIC. Of course until the child is over 18, they will tell her that she was named after a pen.
Oh, Enty, love it when you're a smarta--.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that there were ONE HUNDRED AND TWO comments on the last Beyonce post... my god...
Everyone needs to read about the security measures taken...The Daily Beast has a detailed report, excessive to say the least...they were absolutely hiding something I have no doubt that a surrogate was used.
ReplyDeleteRoyalty doesn't go to these extremes ..
Pillow baby was born! Thank goodness, I was turning "blue" holding my breath waiting. ;) I actually got into an argument over the weekend with a diehard Beyonce fan who swore to me I was lying about the folding tummy. *sigh* didn't even bother looking up the video for her.
ReplyDeleteSo sick of hearing about this "pregnancy" and now tired of hearing about another celeb baby with a weird name. Enough!!
ReplyDeleteAnd where was the hospital when other parents and families were barred from seeing THEIR babies?
Ivy Blue sounds better to me than the other way around, every time I see this child's name I will think of my friends Cocker Spaniel named Blue and the dog from Blue's Clues.
ReplyDeleteThe security needed for this farce was so over the top, they should have just avoided all the media whoring and quietly announced the birth via a surrogate just like Nicole Kidman did.
There is nothing to be ashamed about here, if you choose to have a baby via a surrogate that's fine just don't lie about being pregnant for the money and attention, this is where Beyonce went wrong.
Yeah, but when do they tell her the truth about her birth? And I hate to be impertinent, but I want to see the scar.
ReplyDeleteI want to see the stitches...a scar can be fudged..
ReplyDeleteWell Lainey has said she basicly had a spy in the delivery room and yes Beyonce delivered...
Oh Please Bitch....
am i the only one that really doesn't care about this at all?
ReplyDeleteMy first comment disappeared.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one appalled by this name? I just can't. I'm also convinced that the people who give their kids names like this give them real names and that the ones fed to the public are bull. Then again we had Zappa name his daughter Moon Unit right?
I am also of two minds about the surrogate thing. Why would the surrogate have a C-section? I can understand the birth mother with enough cheese opting for one and combining it with a tummy tuck which if Mrs. Carter did give birth I'm sure she did. If there is/was a surrogate and there was a C-section maybe the story about the 4's and the name is true?
The other thing is the last public picture I saw of Mrs. Carter she had pregnant face.
I don't have a clue. Just sorry they named their daughter Blue. Hey maybe I have a chance to compose rhymes? Not.
I still think you can't hide a surrogate birth in a hospital like this. Someone will talk - a nurse, a tech, housekeeping, SOMEONE will talk - I would think a story that she faked the birth would be worth enough to a tabloid or something that it would be worth losing your job over.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone read about the way other parents and even doctors were treated? Parents kept away from their babies who were in the NICU. Doctors unable to see their patients. All to protect Bey's privacy?
ReplyDeletePerhaps she could have "delivered" in a less public place instead of inconveniencing others. It's sickening. These people are just actors and singers, not gods.
The hospital should be ashamed of itself for allowing that to go on.
Blue Ivy is a STUPID name. Ivy as a first name was much better.
ReplyDeleteWhen will people stop with the ridiculous names? Soon John and Susan will be the uncommon ones.
Blue Ivy is kinda horrible. Ivy Blue was better, but I'm with y'all last night saying it sounds like a Club!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a parent who had a baby in the ICU, I would cut a bitch.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if she hired a surrogate, because it wouldn't surprise me. Beyonce has been lying to the press and crafting her fake image for years. All that stuff you read about her being shy, sweet, etc? Bitch, PLEASE.
Keeping concerned parents away from their ailing babies is deplorable, and it's truly made me hate her and her posse.
And that name is truly, truly stupid.
Dumb name...
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of people giving their children stupid names to be different or cool.
Louis CK joked about naming his kid ladies and gentlemen
You can get preggo face and ankles by having Chinese take-out the night before (don't ask me how I know that!)
ReplyDeleteHearing about the parents of preemie twins who were barred from Lenox Hill hospital yesterday by Jay-Z's bodyguards makes me think of when Bey and Jay violated the Secret Service's instructions at 2009 inaugural festivities and had a car pull up to their hotel because Bey didn't want to walk 1/2 block.
I don't mind the name.
ReplyDeleteBut could I PLEASE take a moment and toot my own horn for calling it?? Wasn't I the one who had bet Jan. 7th 2012 as a possible #4-connected date of birth?
TOOT for me;)
I thought the kid was born January 8?
ReplyDeleteBlue Ivy's sounds like a foot fungus. I was on the fence about the fake pregnancy, but after reading all this crap, I'm starting to believe it's true.
I think BEYONCE is one ugly name, it sounds like slang for the female sexual organ.....
ReplyDeleteYep Rita, Nicely done. Life number is 4.
ReplyDeleteThe baby *was* born on the 8th, supposedly. But who really knows? She could have arrived before Christmas, and they've just been popping bottles and eating oysters in some tricked-out birthing suite for the past few weeks while a dozen nannies tended to the squalling baby.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also agree that Beyonce is a hideous name. I've always thought so. Solange is also pretty brutal.
@Rita
ReplyDeleteGooooooooooooooooo Rita! Woohoo!
@Elvira - official date today: Baby was born on 01.01.2012, at 10 p.m.
ReplyDeleteI so should've bet money on it!!!!
And thank you for my peeps giving me a toooot!!!
@Rita -- So the baby's already nine days old? That definitely means that Bey used a surrogate. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, if she kept inline with the family history, the kid's name would have been Knowles Carter. She was given her mother's maiden name as her first.
ReplyDeleteOUPS SORRY, MEANT 01.07.2012 in numerology, that equals 4.
ReplyDelete@Rita -- Ha ha, it's all good. I know what you meant. :-)
ReplyDeleteIf BIC had actually been an 01/01 baby, Beyonce would have claimed she was the very first kid born that year.
Of COURSE they named it Blue Ivy...because, you know - MESSIAH GHANDI JESUS SPIELBERG BUDDAH MUHAMMED OBAMA CHURCHILL MOSES LUTHER KING JUNIOR CARTER was already taken!
ReplyDelete(Not that they're pompous elitist assaholics or anything right?)
^ LOLOLOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteI see the fake birth takes more importance than real life babies fighting for their lives..
Nice Bey and Jay-Z really nice.
You know, there are a lot of people with unusual names. And being made fun of isn't nice.
ReplyDelete*points to self*
:-(
What's so funny about Layna? Or is that not your real name?
ReplyDeleteBlue Ivy sounds like a superhero.
ReplyDeleteThe huffington post has this piece about a song Jay's done mentioning little blue. The verse apparently mentions a previous miscarriage Bey had

With all their money, why didn't they use a private hospital? I just don't understand this whole public hospital choice and compromise people in real need of care? They have the means and funds to have a private clinic all to themselves, why hurt ordinary citizens?
ReplyDeletesomething in the milk ain't clean.
ReplyDeletethat is all.
@rita, you rule!
ReplyDeletePeople like them with their over inflated egos don't even notice the other little people who might need the services of the hospital.
Big shame on the hospital for allowing it to happen.
Disgusting that two people got to prevent others from seeing their children. I am not into suing others normally, but I hope those parents sue both the hospital and Bey and J for treating them and their babies like second class citizens.
ReplyDeleteTMZ is reporting that the mom's are upset at the hospital administration for being ignored by staff and hassled by egomaniac's security team at Lenox Hill.
ReplyDeleteThis hospital owes the mothers and their families an apology for this fiasco.
And the dad that was denied access to the NICU should sue.
@ Rita: Layna isn't even close to being my name. :-)
ReplyDeleteRowan, Lenox Hill is a private hospital. The public hospitals in Manhattan are: Bellevue, Metropolitan, Harlem. I *think* that's it.
ReplyDeleteIf Blue's mother (who is not necessarily Beyonce, btw) needed a C-section, that's major surgery and she would need a full-service hospital, not a clinic (there are some with midwives or they could have had a home birth.)Nice karma that the family getting the most publicity about being turned away (preemie twins) is a black family from Bed-Stuy. That's what you get for going into business with a Russian gangster, Jay-Z.
BTW, I'm looking forward to the reveal about the surrogate birth. I kept seeing news stories showing Bey rubbing her "pregnant" tummy at the awards show where she announced her "pregnancy." And wait'll the other Lenox Hill newborns' families find out; their lawyers will be the ones banging on Lenox Hill's doors.
ReplyDeleteIf I had given birth at the same hospital as Ivy Blue/Carter, I would be LIVID. I don't hate either name, but don't like those two together.
ReplyDeleteBlue is especially bad thanks to Old School. I will never hear about this child without saying "You're my boy, Blue!" and I'm sure that's the case for a lot of other people.
ReplyDeleteIt *does* remind me of Old School! And that techno song "Blue" (Eiffel 65, anyone?). Great, now that song is going to be stuck in my head...
ReplyDeleteThanks Weezy for the info! I didn't know that it was a private hospital. I guess the only thing to say is: So much for the other paying customers.
ReplyDeleteHow so vainglorious of them for compromising others in their "special moment".
It's a dopey name but I've heard worse.
ReplyDeleteI remember a colleague railing about Shilho's name when she was born. I didn't find it so bad but she said, "Can you imagine what she's going to go through with that name? Shiloh Pitt? Pile o' Shit".
Call the kid Blivey and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are so dumb. From this afternoon's NY Daily News: "New parents Beyonce and Jay-Z and their bouncing bundle of joy, baby Blue, left Lenox Hill Hospital Tuesday, officials there confirmed.
ReplyDeleteA procession of vehicles with blacked-out windows made a speedy exit from the upper East Side hospital’s side gate in the wee hours of Tuesday, witnesses said.
Two black SUVs motored quickly out of the facility’s E. 76th St. loading dock at 1:30 a.m.
Moments later, a van parked on a nearby corner reversed into the same loading dock, and the large roll-down gate closed.
The gate reopened a few minutes later and the van drove out, turned the wrong way on the one-way 76th St., and then headed north on Park Ave.
One of the two SUVs blocked traffic on Park Ave. so the van would not be impeded.
The second SUV pulled in behind the van, apparently to prevent anyone from following the music icons and their newborn daughter, Blue Ivy Carter."
I do believe Bey and Jay have just Kardashian'd themselves.
ReplyDeletei loved out loud after i finished reading this! from the bottom of my tummy too!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, thank you to my friends who gave me a toot for my horn!
