Last night Hollywood startlets and sports heroes descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the museum's annual gala, this year honoring a new Costume Institute exhibition called Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. The exhibit explores the work of the two Italian designers and "suggests new readings of their most innovative work," according to the museum's introduction. While the actual exhibit was inside the museum, last night's show took place on the red carpet where stars strutted and posed for photographers on the steps, all dolled up in (mostly) delightful designer duds. more ›

Ever since having baby Blue Ivy, Beyonce has been keeping a low-profile, only stepping out publicly after husband Jay-Z's Carnegie Hall performance (the new parents have been eating in Brooklyn, though). But last night, the couple partook in the Linsanity at Madison Square Garden. more ›

New parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z haven't yet showed off their daughter, Blue Ivy, to the public (friends say she's "so beautiful"), but they have announced her godparents. Or rather, a source has done it for them. And it's a real "Aha Moment!" more ›

Famous hospital travel writer and connoisseur Sean Carter has gone all sensitive now that he has a newborn baby with Beyonce. He won't even use the "B word" anymore! But Jay clearly was his old, stoic self on January 6, a day before Blue Ivy Carter was born, when half of Rocawear's staff got laid off in New York. more ›

This is hardly surprising, because while Lenox Hill Hospital denies they received money from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to create a personalized VIP section for the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy... those suites certainly weren't built on love alone. The famous couple were the first to utilize the $800/night private suits (what coincidental timing!), and now Radar reports that they made a six figure donation to the hospital prior to the birth. more ›

Today, Baby Blue Ivy Carter turns six days old, and boy what a journey it's been so far! Now that all of the boring paperwork is out of the way—what with Lenox Hill Hospital "investigated" following complaints from non-famouses that Jay-Z and Beyoncé's special treatment prevented them from seeing their non-famous babies—we can delve into the fun stuff. Like the birthing room! more ›

Baby Blue Ivy is just five days old, and she's been in the headlines each of those days and become the youngest person to ever appear on the Billboard charts. So what's next for this little lady? Today, the focus is back on Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Lenox Hill Hospital stay, where Baby Blue arrived last Saturday. more ›

Blue Ivy Carter has left the building. Specifically, baby Blue has departed her private digs at Lenox Hill Hospital to go live with her parents, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, in Tribeca. The little diva, less than a week old, left the hospital in a luxury Mercedes van. So, now what? more ›

FINALLY, the papers are paying attention to the birth of the Most Important Baby Of All Time, or at least since baby Thom Yorke arrived in 1968: Blue Ivy Carter. There's a lot of ink spilled out there today regarding Beyoncé and Jay-Z's three-day old girl, who has already made her musical debut crying on Jay-Z's song to her, which you can listen to below. And now the happy couple has released a statement, presumably from their private birthing center, Lenox Hill Hospital: more ›

This weekend we learned two wildly famous and wealthy people used their power and money for good. Just kidding! Beyoncé and Jay-Z used their fame and fortune to rent out an entire floor of Lenox Hill Hospital, inconveniencing others that also needed access to loved ones and medical attention. The couple were there for the birth of their child, Blue Ivy, and closed off the 4th (VIP pad) and 6th (delivery suite) floors, depending on where Team Carter was at the time. Problem is: they also closed access off to parents who needed to see their own babies in the neonatal intensive-care unit. more ›

This weekend rumors were swirling that Beyoncé had checked in to Lenox Hill Hospital on Friday night, under the name "Ingrid Jackson," with husband Jay-Z by her side. And alas, it turns out the power couple was there for B's planned c-section, which took place sometime last night. So finally, after months of fake bump rumors, the couple has welcomed a baby girl into the world—the same world she will likely take over one day. E! News reports that her name is Blue Ivy Carter, or at least "that's what Jay-Z is telling pals." more ›

Beyoncé's pregnancy has been weird and mysterious from the start. She announced that her and husband Jay-Z would be having a baby in August, while on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. The next month, she stated: "It's September 23rd. Right now I’m actually shooting the video for 'Countdown' and I’m six months pregnant!" After that, a television appearance showed her bump collapsing before the world's eyes, which led to rumors that she had a surrogate, possibly to stay in shape for an upcoming tour. And yesterday, rumors spread far and wide that she—or someone?—delivered her baby, named Tiana May Carter, at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. more ›

Beyoncé's bump is real, and it's fabulous, and there's an actual baby in there, which she's now revealed is... a girl! Or rather, "an insider" revealed the big news for her, to In Touch magazine. more ›

Beyoncé's baby bump was put into questions recently after this video showed her belly going flat. The rumors eventually reached TMZ and ABC, forcing the singer to respond, saying the rumor was “Stupid, ridiculous and false.” But perhaps her best response of all was unspoken, when she bared her belly in a bikini earlier this week (see photos here). more ›

While we were wondering if Beyoncé was aware she stole the dance moves for her new "Countdown" video, other parts of the internet were wondering if she's faking her pregnancy! That is a way worse allegation! And one we'll delve into now. Here's what The People are asking: Could the spawn of Jay-Z and Bey be nothing more than a prosthetic belly? Could the real baby be in a surrogate? To the conspiracy theory think tank! more ›

Did Beyoncé steal dance moves for her new, and amazing, "Countdown" video? Is she the Urban Outfitters of choreography? Say it ain't so. According to ABC, she's been called out for being a copycat, and there's some pretty convincing video to go along with the accusations. Here's the side-by-side comparison of B's latest moves, and Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's routine, which she created: more ›

FINE, let's talk about Beyoncé's new video, because even though these hyped up whatevers are usually just a huge letdown, the video for "Countdown," off her album 4, really is as amazing as The Internet says. And it's fun! And there's a lot of fashion! And it's generating adorable headlines like: "Beyonce's 'Countdown' Video A Unanimous Hit With Fans." The song is a tribute to her husband Jay-Z, and within the first 40 seconds she proudly flashes her pregnant belly. Listen, watch, enjoy: more ›

You read that right. BabyCakes, the vegan bakery in the Lower East Side, is so psyched over Queen Bee's impending bundle of joy that they're baking a literal bun in the oven. Yes, it gets bigger every week, and no, you sadly cannot eat it. more ›

Hurricane Irene has come and gone, so now it's time to focus on more pressing matters: Beyonce is pregnant, with husband Jay-Z's baby! The long-rumored pregnancy was confirmed last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, when Queen Bee showed up in a vibrant red Lanvin muummuu, clutching her belly on the welcome carpet. MTV tweeted "OMG Beyonce just made a huge announcement on the #vma carpet! #baby!!!!!", and her reps confirmed the happy news shortly thereafter. more ›

Beyonce, who is taking a break from surprising kids in Harlem, has announced a special series of shows at the Roseland Ballroom later this month, dubbed "4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce." more ›

Yesterday afternoon, the students at PS 161 in Harlem were in for a bootylicious surprise during their PE class, when none other than Beyonce herself stopped by the gymnasium to dance to her song "Move Your Body" with them (in four-inch heels, no less). Looking fine while shaking in her tailfeather in an all-white getup, Miss B is clearly having a good time, and the kids are nothing short of thrilled. more ›

Are Beyonce and Jay-Z getting their pop-rap royal family started? The 29-year-old is rumored to be pregnant with the couple's first child. One source told US Weekly, "B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet. She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again." Just the kind of press clippings her child will be bringing to therapy in 15 years! more ›
