Given the unrelenting volume of negative press, it does matter. I think people are genuinely tired of seeing her; the over exposure and hype leading up to the birth of the child can be overwhelming--and excessive.

I have a solution for that......how about those people get a job or actually do some work at their job for once and stay off of the gossip sites, blogs etc... you won't see or hear about them, problem solved.

I don't care about Bey getting publicity for her pregnancy and baby. It is to be expected. Its just in terribly bad taste and lacking in consideration to shut down the maternity ward because you are doing something dozens of other women are doing at that same time. I'm not a fan whatsoever of celebs getting special treatment when it comes to a public service. Hospitals should not show favorites plain and simple. Suppose a woman would have had a complications during her delivery. Her family has to be kept at a distance because Bey is in the house? Fuck that!

HG... The hospital spokesperson said that they did not have the whole floor as people were reporting.. indicated that they were in a suite and the suite is for anybody who can afford it.. not just Celebrity's .. I'm thinking a lot of this shit is being blown out of porportion because who was having a baby..

I think it is blown out of proportion - like a lot of stories concerning Beyonce.

People just hate seeing a loving black family succeed and yes that does include other black folk. Angelina Jolie stole somebody's husband, got him to move in with her and her orphans, and then finished it off by getting knocked up. And she still remains ring-less. Yet they're Hollywood royalty.

But the Carters have to deal with this annoying Illumanti baloney, calling a three-day old child a freemason and shit. It's disgusting. It's great to have fun with celebrities, I do, but people go overboard with these two. It's insane. For the past 7 years it was, "WHY CAN'T THIS CHICK JUST SIT DOWN" "BEYONCE IS SO VAIN, SHE CAN'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKIN KID FOR HER HUSBAND" Now that she was pregnant, it was "SHE'S LYING" "IT'S A CONSPIRARY SHE HAS A SURROGATE." And I can't even imagine what it's gonna be like once the child is shown and ALL the negative comments and snide remarks from the "anonymous" that await her. It'll be Bobbi Kristina all over again. You know, "You're not as good as your mother."

Hope you both are right. I know Bey is the dime of the decade but I don't want her to become a DIVA because that is the monent the careeer goes belly up. She needs to remain relateable and likeable.

On that note...I'm glad Jay refers to his and Bey's journey on trying to become parents. I'm liking "most beautiful girl" even though I think the baby won't be that cute.

yeah yeah... i know...just stating MHO alright?

i think the negative press is because they just turn people off , the whole awards show reveal was a bit much, then all the pics of beyonce with her seemingly removable belly, releasing a new video every week and claiming she shot them all prior to getting pregnant. they bring all the extra attention on themselves, now he already got a song out before the cord drops from the baby navel. anyway congrats to them on having a healthy baby.

How is it any different from other celebrities doing magazine cover shoots announcing their pregnancy, then the magazine cover showing the baby bump, then the TV special about the birth of the baby.

Celebrities have been getting publicity from having babies for years.

We all remember that Vanity Fair cover with Demi Moore.

Whenever a celebrity announces their pregnancy, they're doing it for publicity.

Doesn't matter if it's Beyonce or Jennifer Garner.

of course celebrities are gonna get press when they get pregnant, posing on a magazine imo is alot different then using your pregnancy as part of the promotion for your album, which is what beyonce did. people were talking about her sales and BAM she gets pregnant, then she reveals her stomach as part of the choreography of her performance. now jayz releases a song a couple days after the baby is born talking about a prior miscarraige (sympathy card), how they wasnt sure this baby would make it...so they were concerned about the baby because beyonce had a miscarraige yet she continued to jump around on stage like a mad woman while pregnant, still traveling around the world, jumping in and out of her suv like there was no baby in her, sorry but she didnt seem to concerned to me.

Setting The Record Straight…Again: The Craziest Rumors That Have Come Out Since Blue Ivy’s Birth Posted on January 10th, 2012 - By Bossip Staff You people gotta stop. Ever since Blue Ivy landed on Planet Earth, rumors have been circling the globe about all the crazy implications of her name and the way she was born. It’s time to put them all to rest.

Get the facts!

Illuminati Name - So some people say the name means Illuminati’s Very Youngest Baby Living Under Evil. *blank stare*. It could also mean Interesting Veal Yummy But Leaves Unmistakable Empathy. People have too much time on their hands.

Illuminati Name Pt. 2 -Her name spelled backwards apparently also means “Lucifer’s Daughter” in Latin. However, Lucifer is already Latin. And Lucifer had no daughter. So…yeah.

Michelle Hates The Baby - Twitter was all up in arms over the fact that Michelle didn’t congratulate Bey and Hov via Twitter. “Let’s get ONE thing straight….I do NOT have to say congrats to someone when they’re NOT on twitter…ESPECIALLY when I talk or email them all the time…“ Well, there. She actually likes the baby!

C-Section? - The rumor was that Bey had a scheduled C-section but the fact is she had a natural, unscheduled birth. Way to fight through it!

Security - We’re unsure how much security Bey and Hov used for their baby, but reports of bulletproof glass are probably exaggerated.

The Million-Dollar Floor - No, Jay and Bey didn’t spend 1.3 million on an exclusive floor for their baby. They paid standard fee for their room.

Numerology - There are a million numerical theories for Ivy’s name. Like the baby born on the fourth floor and born on 1/7, which adds to 8 which is 4+4. Carry the pi. Add the denominator. Make your brain explode.

Well, it certainly doesn't help matters to say Blue Ivy "landed" on planet Earth. She was conceived of earth parents in a hotel room on a big ole water bed whilst Teddy Pendergrass was playing on the radio. Just like the rest of us.

Jay-Z Beyonce Had Miscarriage Before Blue Ivy Jay-Z just revealed ...

Beyonce suffered a miscarriage before conceiving their daughter Blue Ivy. The rapper dropped the bombshell in his newest song "Glory" -- which he released today in honor of Blue Ivy's birth this weekend -- rapping, "Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you'd disappear/But nah baby you magic." The song was produced by Pharrell -- and even includes an audio sample of Blue Ivy crying just moments after she was born. Among the proud fatherly lyrics -- "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."

Proud Daddies Mike Walters -- This Is What It Sounded Like ... When My Son Was Born Dawson's a Daddy! David Beckham and Sons Celebrate Soccer Victory!

I thought the same thing. Shame how some people treat their kids according to how they feel about their ex. Jay got that one son he don't even see.

She been for a while and regarding the hospital situation there were parents of the babies in the same hospital on t.v here in New York complaining that couldn’t see their newborns so I do believe it. But at least it’s over smh.

Line of the month!!!

I just took note of the fact that they practically named the baby The Blue(print) 4(IV). Which is next if Jay Z continues with those titles.

No shit. My roommate just got this fancy toaster and while I was using it I noticed the light/medium/dark function is called shade control. The first thing I thought was, "Huh, sounds like something they could use at prince.org...."

You omitted the tours, TV coverage, billboard ads, perfume ads, newspaper blitz, etc.

Then they can look over it or kill themselves. The latter would probably be more beneficial.

One won't see or hear much more of that with her than one does with any other celebrity unless they go looking for it. If they have some problem, that's their problem. Can't change anyone else's behavior but your own.

And there you go.

NEEEEXT!
