Beyonce on Blue Ivy: ‘She’s very smart. She’s doing flashcards. She’s beautiful’

It’s still The Year of Beyonce!! I was considering referring to it as “The Month of Beyonce” but really, it’s the Year of Bey. 2013 is going to be all Beyonce, all the time. She’s rebranding herself as a mother/global superstar/fashion designer/documentary filmmaker/etc. She’s like 30 different things. This weekend Beyonce’s HBO documentary debuted, and her Oprah interview aired. So there will be lots of Bey News coming out this week, so just prepare yourselves. During the Oprah interview, Beyonce claimed she would have another baby after she toured this year. AND she claims that Blue Ivy (note: I first wrote “Blue Icy” which is a great baby name) is some kind of genius prodigy.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are raising a prodigy. To promote her HBO documentary, Life Is But a Dream, the “End of Time” singer appeared on the Feb. 16 episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter and opened up about life with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

“She is hilarious and she is fire. Lord, am I going to have me a time!” the R&B diva said of her 13-month-old little girl with her 43-year-old husband. “She’s very smart. She’s doing flashcards. She’s beautiful.”

The 31-year-old Texas native credits Blue Ivy with expanding her worldview. “My daughter introduced me to myself,” she explained. “Motherhood made everything make sense.”

When host Oprah Winfrey asked the 17-time Grammy winner when she plans to give Blue Ivy a sibling, Beyonce smiled wide. “I definitely want to have another child. But it’s also important for me to do what I love. I love to make music. I wanted to see after I had my daughter, if I was still as passionate about performing,” she answered. “Maybe after this next tour I’ll have another.”

During the interview, Beyonce also opened up about the miscarriage she suffered before conceiving Blue Ivy. “I felt like there are so many couples that go through that and it was a big part of my story. It was one of the hardest things I’ve been through. It was one of the reasons I did not reveal that I was pregnant the second time,” the songstress admitted. “You don’t know what’s going to happen. It was hard.”

Granted, I’m not a mother and I don’t know much of childrearing or what kind of educational marks babies and toddlers are supposed to be reaching and when, but I do wonder what “doing flashcards” means? Does that mean Beyonce shows her the educational flashcards and Blue enjoys them, or that Blue is, like, reading? Celebrity moms always get in trouble with this kind of “My Child’s a Genius” bragging – remember when Jennifer Garner’s friend claimed a then-3-year-old Violet was “reading Jane Austen”? Or my favorite – when Gisele claimed her 6-month-old son was potty trained. Now, I think flashcards are a great way to spend time with your kids, and who knows? They probably do help a lot. So I’m not mad at Beyonce or anything. This isn’t the worst.

As for Bey having another baby… we’ll see. We’ll see.

    What mother doen’t believe her child is exceptional?

    • fabgrrl says:

      Indeeed! Every mother has the smartest, cutest, best baby in the world.

    • Anmelt says:

      Hah!! So true. I was one of the first among my peers to have a baby (26) and I was like this but now My eldest is in kindergarten I am much more objective. Now I see my friends having babies and thinking their child is amazingly intelligent and goodlooking (my facebook feed is 50% babies and toddlers pictures) and I am like yeah, you will realise how much through rose tinted glasses you are looking!! Ahahha

    • marie says:

      ha, exactly! every mother thinks their child is the best..

    • Hannah Young says:

      There’s a saying in Korean that says that a mother will become a liar a million times (or something like that) in her child’s life time. Of course, I tell my mother that my 18-month really does know hundreds of words, and knows his letters, numbers, colors, and shapes, etc.

    • akua says:

      LOL, that was my first thought! Of course, I think my daughter is the smartest, kindest, most beautiful, etc., girl in the world 🙂 I would hope everyone thinks that about their child (sadly not always true)

    • Annie says:

      @Jilli – try mine.

  2. Happymom says:

    Oh lord. Part of this is First Child Syndrome (I have 4 kids-and when I think back to when we just had one and what we did/thought-I cringe/laugh) and part of this is just Beyonce being Beyonce.

    • Bobbie says:

      Lol. I have four kids too, and I get embarressed remembering the things I said and did with my first kid. I was a complete freak- super strict and using every second to stimulate my child’s brain. My last kid ate food off the floor and learned her alphabet from preschool. Hopefully, she’ll turn out OK but as I write this overwhelming guilt is setting in. 🙂

      • jwoolman says:

        Not to worry. Our family photo album is full of pictures of my older brother, hardly any of me. Parentals were much less astonished three years after #1 was born and left me more to my own devices (fortunately!). I was late talking (as many second children are) and didn’t learn to read until I hit first grade. I skipped preschool because Brother had made it too traumatic for mom and she couldn’t deal with any more preschool drama, although I went to kindergarden. I ended up with a Ph.D. in a joint physics/chemistry program and make a living as a scientific translator.

    • momoftwo says:

      Yes! First time parents are funny…that’s the only time you have the free time to do flash cards. By the second…third…you just figure they will learn things eventually at school or from their siblings and you don’t even worry.

      I always laugh when first time moms need the husbands to help give the baby a bath. I did this too of course cuz it seemed so hard that I needed an extra pair of hands. Once the second one comes along you figure out how much you can do (I can only imagine with 4 🙂

      • Pandy says:

        I’m sure the nannies are tireless with the flash cards.

      • Bobbie says:

        @momoftwo. You’re right! The bath thing! That’s hilarious. People with one kid do always need their husband’s help with everything. I’m not judging- I was the same way if not worse. But that’s funny.

  3. Zigggy says:

    I did flashcards with my daughter at that age too, it helped her learn animals.

  4. KimmyK says:

    Here are some more recent pics of mom and daughter, enjoy…

    • thischica says:

      Thanks for posting a link to a pic we’ve seen a million times already. You are soooooo hilarious. *sarcasm*

    • Pixie says:

      That’s unnecessarily mean.

    • lisa2 says:

      OK OK OK.. but that is all kinds of wrong.

      Blue is a very cute baby. Anyone can see that.

    • Rikki says:

      Blue looks nothing like that. You must be upset that Blue is a cute baby.

    • mel2 says:

      Ha! Blue Ivy looks nuthing like that.

    • J7 says:

      I watched Life is but a Dream, but can you explain why she looked like a pure black kid ( when her and Solange were racing to the tree as children) into a complete Caucasian? How does one morph into a white person? That is more perplexing than her fake pregnancy….lol.

      • lena80 says:

        Just stop. Black people CAN BE light skinned and said light skin can tan and go back to light depending on sun exposure. If you want answers to your questions google will be a service a to you.

      • cs says:

        Beyonce doesn’t look like a caucasian at all. (she’s not even as light as Vanessa Williams). She looks like a light skinned- black girl. Go to Louisiana and you’ll see black folks that look white. This is coming from someone who could tell Mariah Carey, Jennifer Beal, Wenworth Miller, and Vin Diesel were mixed.

      • ll says:

        There are people of mixed race that turn out very dark or very white. My friend who is white married a mulato man from New Orleans . Their son has golden colored skin and very culry white absolutely white, hair and the greenest eyes I have ever seen in my life, He has his fathers facial features which are not very strong for being part black but he is beautiful. A more beautiful child I have never seen. That means he is more beautiful than my own kids lol. Mixed race chilren have such a great chance of being light or dark or betweenh. stop the nonsense. I am American Indian and Irish and French and am blonde with blue eyes and look nothing like my other sisters who carry the NA genes. I take after the Frnech side. I dont care for this woman nor her husband but all babies are beautiful inside and out until adults teach them to be hateful and bigots and racists..BUT I am also not buying into this crap about 12 months old and flash cards and on and on..it is a baby and she will advance like most others, we all thnink our kids are the smartest until we get that first report card lol

  5. Samigirl says:

    I did flashcards with my son, started at 1. It helped. Hold up a picture with a card, he would say MOOO! Hold up a picture with a dog, he would say WOOF! You can never start too early when it comes to teaching.

    • cmc says:

      A real answer! Thank you! I babysit a friend’s son sometimes and they read him books alll the time. The first time I read him a zoo book, he blew my mind! He points at the animals and makes the sounds. “Woof woof” “mooo” and when the fish comes up he makes a little fish face. He’s 15 months old. He may not be reading, but he recognizes the animals and knows what they sound like. Babies are smart!

      • Samigirl says:

        Little sponges! They soak it alllll up! When my son was around 18 months, we were asking, “what does a pig say?” “oink.” “what does a puppy say?” “woof.” I thought I would throw him for a loop. “what does a mommy say?” No pause, no hesitation…”I love you.”

        So. Much. Love. <3

      • cmc says:

        Samigirl, that is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard! Sounds like you have an amazing kiddo.

      • Samigirl says:

        Thank you, dear! I absolutely have amazing children. Very blessed.

  6. emmie_a says:

    “doing flashcards” = eating the flashcards

  7. xoo says:

    I guess it’s only me but blue ivy looks like drake 😀

  8. Dingo says:

    “It was one of the reasons I did not reveal that I was pregnant the second time,”

    I dont understand, havent seen movie, but the pregnancy she revealed in august 2011 wasen’t Blue Ivy?

    • kc says:

      I think she is referring to her first miscarriage. She may have told friends and family early. With Blue Ivy (ugh, the name still sounds like a bad cocktail), I think she waited longer.

      That being said, BIC is adorable.

      • Boxy Lady says:

        They haven’t explicitly said this as far as I know but I’m pretty sure that the baby was named, in part, after Jay-Z’s albums. He had The Blueprint then the Blueprint II and the Blueprint III. The baby would be the Blueprint IV => Blue IV=> Blue Ivy. Plus 4 (IV) is a big number for them as a couple. With that said, I cannot help but wonder what on earth they would name their second child (and hopefully not a name that also “sounds like a cocktail,” that made me laugh).

      • kitkerenina says:

        Blue Ivy has always sounded to me like an imaginary friend name, that is also a fairy.

  9. thischica says:

    She’s such a cutie!

    Hopefully this will continue to be a post about babies and instead of turning into a Beyonce-bashing session.

  10. Sirsnarksalot says:

    This woman is further up her own ass than Mimi. I can see why she and Gwyneth get along so well. People start out with so much fame and money from such a young age surrounded by people telling them how awesome they are end up so permanently out of touch.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      (Sigh) Dare to dream … dare to dream. I don’t understand it myself. No one making negative comments has watched the documentary, yet they persist in calling her a liar.

      What gets me is how people can say the woman never gained weight. I guess that’s because every time a picture of ‘pregnant Beyonce’ hit the magazine/Internet all anyone could comment on was how ugly her outfit was or how she was such a ‘Fame*hore.’

    • Hakura says:

      @SirSnarksALot – I’ve oft wondered about the contorting ability she must have… To get her head so far up her own behind, I mean. Though with enough money involved, I’d probably give it a shot, too.

      (All in good fun, of course… granted it does rather fit my opinion of her as well. Ah, well.)

    • momoftwo says:

      I think you need a hug….

      • Rikki says:

        She needs more than a hug. She needs Jesus

      • Rikki says:

        LMAO! The irony of you calling someone a moron

      • Hakura says:

        @KimmyK – You made your point quite clearly:
        * You don’t like Beyonce.
        * You believe she’s a fraud,
        * You feel she doesn’t deserve the adoration she gets.

        I agree & can’t stand her either. But that ‘Hulk’ pic is so middle school. Why even waste your time? You can express negative opinions w/o being so nasty about it in attitude. But there’s no reason to insult others here.

        Grow up.

    • F5 says:

      You should apologize to Hulk, Kimmy ;p

    • bigt says:

      That baby is cute like many babies, you can see that Jiggy is the Dad. Still not sure they Bey was ever pregnant with Blue. Love that photo of her makes me laugh.

  11. MoxyLady007 says:

    I assumed it was sign language flash cards.

  12. ZigZagZoey says:

    So……………….Why am I picturing these flash cards are all pics of Beyonce before and after photoshop? See honey? We can fix whatever you end up looking like…..

    • RHONYC says:

      lmao ZZZ, haha…you so wrong (but dammit i can imagine it to be true)!!! 😆

    • ZigZagZoey says:

      😀
      Hope you had a good weekend!!

      • RHONYC says:

        thanks doll i hope your weekend was good as well! xoxo

        i rode that damn flu out like a Bronco, lol! thankfully i have off today.

        Beyoncé is harmless…her mommy & daddy told her she was god’s gift and she is acting accordingly.

        her baby is cute and motherhood looks natural for her. if i could upload it to a website i could show you a link with me in braid extensions holding my now (20 this yr) 4 month old daughter being so proud. Bey’s got the new mommy tickles and there’s nothing wrong with that. yes, she can be (even self-admittedly) a cornball…but so what.

        having a baby, especially after losing one is a biggie. she’s allowed her happiness.

        moving on… 😉

      • ZigZagZoey says:

        Damn! I didn’t know you had the flu…So glad it’s gone. Have a great day off!! ♥

    • KimmyK says:

      Funny how you don’t see her face on any of those baby bump shots. They don’t put the rumours to rest, they exacerbate them!

      • RHONYC says:

        check out my link on the last Bey post…chil’ blew up like the Hindenberg.

        fo’ realz.

        i didn’t take ANY pics at the end i felt so huge & disgusting. at FORTY-TWO WEEKS… i felt as attractive as a wilder beast. no thank you to photos. 🙁

        she had the baby…she blurred out all the pre-labor photos ’cause she knew the true like i did…wilder beasts don’t = cute. 😉

  13. lisa2 says:

    The flash card thing is fine. You show children pictures of objects and they name them. After a time they can articulate what the pictures are. It helps to build the child’s vocabulary. It is a good idea and parents should do that as well as actually TALK to their children. Many children have such a limited vocabulary. And just mind blowing how the vast majority of parents never really talk to their children. Children only respond in one word replies. Good that she is actually doing something to nurture her child’s brain.

    Trust that is not the case with most children.

    • Emma says:

      One of the most important parts of early literacy is being exposed to language, both written and oral. 35% (I believe) of the 4th graders in the U.S. are at or below average. In many cases this could have been avoided if the child was exposed to high quality (and lots of) books. Mothers should always talk with their children too! I think the flashcards are a great idea. I doubt Blue Ivy recognizes much, but it’s excellent that they’re exposing her. As long as she has few words under her belt then she’s right on track.

  14. Agnes says:

    What DOES “doing flashcards” mean? WTF. I’m surprised Bey didn’t claim that Blue Icy (awesome name) isn’t writing and drawing flashcards with which to teach peasant children. In seven different languages. Ha!

  15. kay says:

    i assume she means that the kid can identify things from pictures- like she sees a picture of a book and knows what it is. it’s not that weird; I think a lot of little kids learn that way. She’s proud. she’s allowed to be proud of her kid.

  16. Seagulls says:

    Many educators frown on flashcards. Kids learn from experiences, not drills. Flashcards are exactly what I’d imagine Bey is doing, which is weird because she has access to more experiences than most us will ever have in our lives.

    • Isa says:

      They’re An excellent memorization tool. But memorizing doesn’t equal smart.

    • Emma says:

      It depends on which theories of development you believe. Personally, I think the flashcards are good as long as Bey and Jay-Z understand that drilling her isn’t going to help. Having them out and interacting with the child about what’s on the picture would probably be best.

      –Speech and Langauge Pathologist in the making 😛

  17. soxfan says:

    Flashcards?? For babies?? WTF is wrong with just reading books and pointing out pics giving a name and sound? Parents are crazy competitive today.

    • lena80 says:

      Umm, that’s what you do with flash cards, you hold them up and make the noise associated with the animal and after a while the child remembers and makes the noise when they recognize the picture.

      • soxfan says:

        Yes, just like you do with unprententious books.

      • lena80 says:

        Now you are calling flash card use pretentious when they serve the same function as books? Stop. If you read this post you will see that many moms used flash cards with their kids as a teaching method. The only one being pretentious is you labeling others as pretentious because they didn’t teach THEIR child your way.

  18. Dee says:

    Her daughter looks like her cousin, Solange’s son. I still doubt whether Beyonce carried but I never doubted that if she hadn’t, it would be her egg and Jay’s sperm in a surrogate.

    Besides, Beyonce honestly seems like too much of an egoist to raise another woman’s child, even if it’s also her husband’s.

  19. swack says:

    Guess I was different. I don’t remember touting how “brilliant” my first child was and I have 3. I read them lots of books and pointed out pictures of animals as we read and asked what sound the animal made and we would learn that way. But to each their own. It never hurts to stimulate a child’s mind in a positive way.

  20. Rikki says:

    Blue Ivy is so adorable!

  21. livs says:

    This has nothing to do with the story, but I’ve been waiting for you to cover the story of Kelly Rowland crying after her birthday lunch with B. What happened there?

  22. Janet says:

    Um how can you have another, when you didn’t have the first one. She obviously thinks we can all be brainwashed. Classic tactic. Over her and her lies.

    • Rikki says:

      It’s never been proven she didn’t have Blue. That’s your opinion.

      • alxandra says:

        And it will never be proven but there are a few things that a pregnant woman can’t do. Such as run in 7 inch heels and jump
        on the front seat of a SUV 9 months pregnant.
        http://sandrarose.com/2012/01/beyonce-baby-bump-watch-2012-how-did-she-do-that-video/

      • Rikki says:

        Jessica Simpson was huge and stomping around in 7 inch heels 9 months pregnant.

      • lena80 says:

        What was that video..she walked to the edge of sidewalk and stepped up and got into a car and someone decided to post her body against different women with different body types as proof as faking? I thought I was going to see something like “proof” Oh and just an FYI, JLo, Mariah, Shakira all wore platform heels like Beyonce. Ther are pictures of Shakira 2 weeks before she gave birth in platform knee boots. Platform heels believe it or not provide balance and comfort unlike regular heeled shoes.

      • Hakura says:

        @Rikki & Alxandra – I don’t know how these pregnant women do it, walking in those heels. W/the pregnant women’s *already* swollen & painful feet, then stuffing them into those heels (that *kill* your feet even at the best of times…)

        But it’s also a major hazard (even w/o being pregs)…It’d be *so* easy to fall & truly hurt themselves, or worse, the babies. I just think it’s idiotic.

        @Rikki – I don’t know, honestly. Whenever I try to decide, I can’t help but think about a video from a talk-show interview (that became infamous & has been used as proof against her ever since). Because when she went to sit down, her big ‘preg’ tummy bent completely in half. (large) Preg stomachs definitely can’t do that.

  23. lisa says:

    who is doing the flashcards? i cant understand half of what bey says, she’s so marble mouthed.

  24. reg says:

    Blue Ivy looks like a lot like Jay Z and the surrogate

  25. LurkeeLee says:

    I hope Bey gets a better quality belly prostetic for the next baby she plans to “HAVE”.

  26. Nonny says:

    She may well have another baby…….she probably still has the pillow from last time.

  27. Original A says:

    That’s pretty normal Mom bragging…By flash cards, she probably just means showing her photos of something like an apple and seeing if she can identify it.

  28. KellyinSeattle says:

    Blue Ivy; it’s like Jay Z staring back at me….as for the flashcards, who really cares? Maybe Bey could do some, too…

  29. DGO says:

    She also claimed that the child was only just beginning to talk, so how’d she go from just saying “Mama” (which at 12-13 months is quite late) to reading flash cards.

  30. BB says:

    Great that Blue Ivy can read flashcards at her age! But geez Beyonce talks like a 10yr old! I don’t know if its just me but I don’t for the life of me understand what she is saying sometimes!

    • lucy says:

      Beyonce wouldn’t know smart if it thrusted its fierce crotch in her face.

      This quote nauseates me:
      “My daughter introduced me to myself,”
      because parenthood is SUPPOSED TO BE a selfLESS occupation. What a disgusting admission from such a spoiled megalomaniac. Obviously Be-yawn-ce has never been selfless in her sugarcoated spoonfed life. People like Jay-Z and her should not raise children because there is not enough room in their lives for the children AND their bloated egos.

      • kitkerenina says:

        Hope Blue Ivy doesn’t echo Bey’s nonsense down the road. Like in her first show and tell. ‘Here’s me in-dro-dushing Mommy to herself.’ Complete with drawing. Gag.

  31. lisa2 says:

    Really people.. I think the flash cards are obviously pictures. Just like PICTURE BOOKS for children.

    I highly doubt she is saying Blue is reading words at that age. But it is not out of the realm of possibility. There are babies that are quite advanced. Now just because the people here don’t have one does not mean that Beyonce doesn’t. And intelligence is not always based on genetics. Anyway not sure why the flashcard thing is such a big deal.

  32. jwoolman says:

    I keep seeing commercials for some early learning website, with parents and grandparents gushing about their little one to two year olds “reading” and “writing” because of the site. This must be something like that, although flash cards sound much more benign and just a variation on parental reading to kids. The kiddies are just recognizing shapes of the words and gettings lots of beneficial parental praise for doing it, they have an extremely limited real vocabulary but can delight their parents when they “read” words like dolphin or ocean and match them to specific drawings or photographs even though they don’t know what the words truly mean … Except for the very rare true precocious genius who doesn’t need a computer to do it, they’ll learn to really read with comprehension years later, and this look-say method depending on whole-word pattern recognition may be an impediment. Hope they learn phonics instead in school! Anyway, the real danger with letting little kids use computers (flash cards should be safe) is the temptation to let them do it for too long because they’re enjoying it and it seems educational. But tiny kids need to do a wide variety of things to make all those needed neural connections in their developing brains – climbing on the sofa, crawling on the floor, and playing with empty boxes are just as educational for them and if they don’t do such things, they may be handicapped later. Kids also are just as prone to hand and arm problems due to computer use as adults – if you let the tiny tots on a computer, it’s worth at least investing in a big-ball trackball and a large kid-friendly keyboard, but also make sure they rotate to other activities frequently. Even ten or fifteen minutes is about as long as they should be staring up close at a computer monitor at a time. My mother didn’t want us staring at the tv screen all the time for similar reasons, and computer monitors are much worse. Even in adults, it has a bad effect on vision (seems to be a muscle problem in my case, since I get my long distance vision back when away from a computer for a few days). I would really worry about the effect of long-term use of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse or trackball on a developing child. The only exceptions should be children with disabilities that prevent them from doing many other things.

    We didn’t have computers in my childhood, but my mother read to me and that did the same thing (probably even better than a snazzy web site). She said that I would take the book and “read” it back to her, but she knew I had just memorized it. She ran out of kid books while trying to keep my older brother quiet so she could rest, so in addition to the little kid books I was also read the poetry section of her high school American Literature book…. So by the age of eight, I could recite Poe’s The Raven and Annabel Lee, among other things. I still retain a special fondness for How the Feud Started and the tales of archy and mehitabel (archy was a poet whose soul had ended up in the body of a cockroach; he couldn’t handle the shift key on an old typewriter, so he wrote exclusively in lowercase and used minimal or no punctuation). But I didn’t understand most of the words in those masterpieces until I was several years older – so parents, beware of too much pride in your kiddies’ apparent “educational” accomplishments and realize you may be misinterpreting a tad.

  33. TG says:

    @RHONYC – I had to laugh did you say Beyonce said that she blew up like a “wilderbeast”? The reason that is so funny is because it is spelled “wildebeest” so maybe she should make a flashcard of that animal as well and she can learn alongside with her brilliant 1 year-old daughter.

    • RHONYC says:

      LMAO! every time i tried to self correct it made me type it that way! bwahahaha!

      whatevs…all us mama’s that gain 30+ poundage in giving birth to our lil’ angels know that shiz ain’t purrty ‘inda’ (one of my kid’s text words, lol) end.
      we love you babies…but gosh-darn do y’all give it to us in tha end! :mrgreen:

      • TG says:

        I wasn’t trying to correct you because I always make spelling mistakes while typing and also I don’t think I am perfect. I was only saying that thinkig that was how Bey spelled it since she was bragging about flashcards with animals on them.

    I dont listen to Beyonce’s music or know that much about her. But I watched her interview with Oprah last night and I thought she came across as very shy, humble, happy and driven. As for her having a fake pregnancy. C’mon that’s just silly.

    • Carolyn says:

      That’s Beyonce’s public personna. Everyone knows the size of her and Jay-Z’s egos.

      The two of them are by far the most popular guess for a blind item about a couple having a public spat in the green room at the Grammy’s. People who keep publicly professing their love and how wonderful their lives are usually have problems they’re hiding.

      Babies are supposed to make you less selfish, not more.

      The nanny gave the baby to Beyonce to hold just before the cameras rolled. The nanny would be doing a lot of the actual work raising the baby.

      I don’t care if she carried the baby herself or used a surrogate. Using one’s miscarriage experience as a PR tool to gain public sympathy is really low and quite insincere. What a surprise she has a documentary and an Oprah interview to promote (sarcasm).

      • blonde on the dock says:

        Well I could understand a big ego but it’s not really what I saw or heard. She appeared to be emotional when she spoke of the miscarriage so I dont think she’s using that to gain sympathy or use it as a PR tool. She came across as very believable to me. She’s a proud Mom just like any other. I liked her. Oprah was a little starstruck though.

        and let me add…MISCARRIAGES SUCK D*CK! HARD ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!

        i know that BKC is a super commercialized product, but GD peeps, you can’t fake that type of pain, or assume that you know what it’s like to go through that.

        WHEN…the doc tells you…like ‘she’ told me…yeah…uh, ‘RHO***’…i know we just had movement on the ultrasound last week and now…you are still visible preggers, but the life signs are DYING!!!!!’

        i’ll never forget that sh*t! and this was after my 1st. that chick ain’t lyin’ about a damn thang.

        she’s blessed to have been given a chance to procreate again and i’m super happy for her.

        tout-suite. 😉

      @ Carolyn

      You don’t know Beyonce to say that she’s not shy, sweet, humble. And Blind Items are mostly bs just to start gossip. They never showed who gave the baby to Beyonce to hold. Could have been a family member. If she has a nanny, so what? Is it illegal to have one? How do you know a nanny is raising Blue? You’re not in their household. It was a documentary about her life so of course she was going to mention her miscarriage.

  35. Gossip Garl says:

    2 theories and i won’t discuss this again: 1.she was preggers deliverd early, child suvived, and by that time she told us:im Preggers!
    2.some one carries the child concieved by her and mr. C.She cant carry for some reasson?its one of those 2 .

  36. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    This coming from someone that is as dumb as a bag of old toenail clippings;I simply can’t believe how much the media is up her arse, someone must be getting paid off big time; her music is toy plastic disposable unmemorable – is the media afraid of her, and if so, why? A narcissistic pop star has the media around her finger.

    • Rikki says:

      Beyonce is loved around the world. I know it’s hard for people like you to believe that, but it’s true.

      • TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

        That’s just a lot of people that have no taste; SHe’s as generic and manufactured as they come but to be expected in a fake plastic culture, fakeonyce’s pr flak, brittney howard of the alabama shakes is far more talented but not a self-promoting fameho.

      Finally someone with some functioning brain cells on this board!

  37. Louise says:

    First child + too much money + enormous ego. Hey BeyBey, she ain’t all that…except to you. Getcha another surrogate and get to work on another 2nd coming of the frenum.

  38. stinkyman says:

    With all the love this woman heaps upon herself and her family there is no room for any love of mine. She leaves me cold.

  39. skuddles says:

    I’m still not convinced that Blue is Beyonce’s child but there’s not a tiny shred of doubt that she’s Jay’s child. She’s like his mini-me.

  40. moon says:

    Kid looks SO MUCH like Jay-Z

  41. fridayhype says:

    She never showed any photos at 8 0r 9 months when she was pregnant

  42. Amelia says:

    She is turning into a Kardashian. Why can’t she keep her private business to herself. I really don’t care about her bluey ivy. They are plenty of very cute babies. She should just have a reality show and let it all out.

  43. Cassie3 says:

    I got out conclusions from this site and many others.

    1. Pregnant women should look obese and gross. (So was Gisele faking each pregnancy?)
    2. If every stage of pregnancy is not recorded to the public is because it’s a scam (Yes) But there is always image edition so images could be fake (Ooops)
    3. Women who decide to do gestational surrogacy for millionaires and the rich are laughing happily while enjoying the money (Yeah!!!)

    So Beyonce should do the most intelligent thing, she should tell women to stop being lazy envious b… and do surrocgacy in a very subtle and discreet manner during an interview. Perhaps with some very good money in their hands women would be happier.

  44. whateven says:

    Don’t know why people are saying the child isn’t Beyonce’s. I think it is Beyonce’s AND Jay-z’s child. They just had a surrogate carry the child. Too many lies against her (ie folding belly, lie that she gained 60lbs when she was virtually the same size, she barley gained weight, the hopping in and out of the SUV or whatever). People can believe what they want, but I believe she did NOT give birth to that child. Celebrities and the media are so up her A** it is bordering on creepy.

  45. reg says:

    Dont have to see the surrogate, the baby looks like Jay Z and someone else, but now Bowonce. Look again when that baby is 3 years old and will look like a mix between a Mexican lady and Jay Z.. By the Way Jay Z does not like the way baby looks, next time might use a different surrogate.
