You know what I just realized? The majority of the stories I’ve written about Beyonce in the past year have originated with her Tumblr, and Beyonce posting new photos on her Tumblr. Beyonce has achieved what so many celebrities can only dream of: she’s pap’d rarely, she maintains her stardom meticulously, she keeps a 24-7 archive of all things Beyonce and, most importantly, she almost always controls the story. I wouldn’t be covering this if Beyonce didn’t WANT me to cover it. Slow clap for Beysus.
Anyway, Beyonce posted these adorable photos of Blue Ivy and the Carter family’s Easter holiday. Blue Ivy got to chill with the Easter bunny (please tell me the Easter bunny is Jay-Z?!?!) and Blue and her mom both wore bunny ears. According to People Mag, the Carter family (plus Tina Knowles) spent Easter in Beverly Hills, at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge. The hotel apparently set up a special Easter egg hunt for the kids, and Blue got a special Easter basket plus she got to interact with peasant children. People Mag also says Beyonce was really nice to everyone, even the peasants.
PS… I love Blue Ivy’s Easter dress. But I dislike her mom’s ensemble.

Giant Easter Bunnies are terrifying. They will kill you, like clowns. And I love the babies hair.
I am also terribly scared of big easter bunnies, mascots and clowns. I had an incident with a clown who showed up to a party when i was like 6 , my cousin and i cried so much we peed and fainted.
LoL. I still do that when I see clowns. Ok, not really, but I come close and I really want to.
LOL Loopy.
I keep seeing scary Easter bunny photos on facebook. Creepy!
This is why going to anime/sci-fi conventions always un-nerve me slightly. Always the furries. Big souless eyes staring at you. And then they all want hugs. It’s almost horror movie esk.
@MonicaQ, so they can suffocate you!
That’s not all those furries want MonicaQ. I had no idea what they were until I went to DragonCon and whoa, that stuffs no joke.
The stuff of nightmares. C.r.e.e.p.y.
Blue looks adorable, as always.
Enough with grown women wearing bunny ears.
“baby’s”….duh.
😀
I was an Easter bunny one year. You sort of feed off the screams of small children.
Lol. That explains a lot.
FREAKIN’ hilarious, you psycho, you. lol
Aw that is supercute, no shade, they seem by all accounts to be involved parents… Did ya’ll see Blue meanmugging at disney?! It was on some Prince Chubby all Not-Amused- face
Blue is so cute, the superior Carter imo 😉
Yes, I saw them. She was like” is this it? My room has more interesting shit than this”. She’s never here for peasant shit and I LOVE it.

Blue is cute. She is a perfect mix of the two. In some angles, she looks just like her mom. In others, like the one at Disney, she looks just like Jay Z
Why don’t they show Blue’s face?
Because they want to exploit her to create a perfect “First Family of (mediocre) Music” image for PR purposes, whilst simultaneously claiming to be protecting her privacy.
Or she looks like her birth mum 😉
Why are people so cruel to them? I get that they are not universally liked, but the viciousness of comments about them confuses me.
There are plenty of pics floating around the internet that shows Blue’s face. There’s even been full frontal on TMZ, she looks a bit like her dad but in a good way.
But I’m thinking as this child gets older and look back at their family album she might ask “mom why did you always conceal my face, did you think I wasn’t pretty enough to be seen or you didn’t want me stealing your spotlight since your face was always front and center.
@GNAT I don’t think people have too much of a problem with Jay he’s been pretty much the same since he’s been in the game, but it’s Beyonce pretentiousness that turns most people off. There are still quite a few people who believed she faked her pregnancy as well.
Goodnames,
It confuses me when it happens to every celebrity. Take Kim K for example. Everyone is SUPER viscious with her. But it’s okay, because nobody like her, apparently. I think she’s a bumbling airhead most of the time, but I don’t find her nearly as evil as she’s made out to be. Or have a look at the Brandi and Leann posts – viscous from both sides.
At most, I find Bey and Jay kind of arrogant, and a bit hypocritical, but other than that they don’t affect my life, and seem to be alright people. I think a lot of posters need to take a step back sometimes and think ‘why do I use so much energy hating people that don’t alter my life’. Gossip is great, rumors can be fun, but the viciousness sometimes needs to be taken down a notch.
Good one. Yes. And I hardly find any of these comments “viscious”.
Where’s the vicious comments on this thread? Calling a baby ugly (which no one on this thread actually did) is cruel no matter the race so I don’t get the comment”a black baby no less.”
You definetely lost me at superior plans of world domination; that came from left field.
Why so sensitive? I think Tapioca was just joking.
Beyonce most of the time hides Blue’s face, but what I don’t get is why she always shows the face of Solange’s son – double standard?
I don’t think Blue has ever been called ugly on this site. I for one think she’s adorable ( Then again, I think Jay Z looks cute).
But, I do agree with someone who said that when she’s gonna be older and see these pictures, she’s probably going to wonder why her parent never let anyone see her face.
Having said that, I can’t stand Beyonce. So annoying, so try hard. Solange is way way cooler.
I have not read any comments on C/B where posters have called Blue ugly or made mention of her lips. Could you search for that post if it was on this website? I do recall the conversation about her hair and some people were saying it looks as if her hair is not combed out but it wasn’t vicious.
Now if you’re talking about other websites, well yes people say the meanest things about a lot of celebs children black or white, not just Bey and Jay. Jeez, they are not the only Black celebrity couple to produce a child.
I remember years ago when the Olsen twins were very popular some people said they are cute now but they were such unattractive babies or they grew into their looks. So yes White babies have been called unattractive as well.
@E While I don’t find Jay that attractive and I wil agree that his nickmname is Joe The Camel I will agree that I have heard people say that they hope she doesn’t look like Jay. But she does and like I said upthread she’s a cuter version.
I’m not new to celebrity gossip and it’s not uncommon for people to hope a child doesn’t turn out to look a certain way. Do you remember that beautiful model Paulina Porizkova who married Cars lead singer Ric Ocasek. The main thing people were talking about was how unattractive he was and they hope thier kids didn’t look like him. It was the same thing when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett. Some people said thank God they didn’t have any children together because how unattractive the kids probably would have been, esp with the nose Lovett has.
If Bey had married someone who looks like Terrence Howard or Idris Elba, nothing much would be said becasue they are considered handsome. People are only saying these thigs becasue a lot of people find Jay unattractive just like they did with Lovett and Ocasek
@E who wrote ” And I’ve never personally read comments specifically pointing out features of a white baby and calling them ugly, or saying; “she’s probably gonna look like her dad lol”.
Well, just try any post about Adam Sandler and his older daughter, all of these terms are written,along with ‘unfortunate looking’, ‘a face only her mother can love’ etc..
Some comments about Minnie Driver’s son are like that too.
@Aims
Check out this full frontal of Blue Ivy along with a pic of Beyonce when she was a baby; they look similar to me. But I see some Jay in there as well.

I checked it out. She’s a beautiful girl and I’m envious of her life. I do think Blue favors her daddy though.
Blue is adorable, but yuck yuck yuck for kissing on the lips.
Why? People kiss on the lips all the time. I notice again – no pics of her face.
@ Eleanor….I pray to some deity you’re kidding….
You kid? Or you have no kids?
Really? Even a baby? I think it’s sweet.
Not to pile on, but I also don’t get the yuck sentiment here. I kissed my daughter on the lips plenty when she was a baby/toddler/young kid. My parents did it, too. I never noticed anything yuck about it.
I am 27 and still kiss my parents on the lips. Whats the big deal?
Eleanor are the Beyonce posts about to suffer the same fate as Aniston/Jolie? 🙂
I’m in my twenties and I still kiss my mother on the lips. What exactly is yuck about it? I wouldn’t even have a problem if it was Jay Z kissing Blue on the lips. She’s their child ffs.
I’m really not being sarcastic. That’s normal in America? Really?
Well, here kids are kissed on the cheeks or forehead. Never on the lips. I didn’t know, I apoligise.
No need to apologize. I think it’s what you’re used to. My parents kissed us on the lips until we were about five, so it doesn’t bother me.
This has been discussed here already. It’s a culturological thing. In some pleces it’s nomal, in some it’s not. Those of us who haven’t grown up with it find it yucky. Those who have think it’s normal.
I’ve never seen people kiss their kids on the lips, haven’t grown up with it and find it quite, well, yuck. But that’s just me.
Well said, Tatjana.
I didn’t grow up with it. We’re big huggers and cheek-only kissers in my family, but I don’t feel the need to call it “yucky”, which implies that there’s something wrong with it.
But it’s not just my family. It’s the entire country. I’ve hardly ever seen it.
There is biology behind this! Mouth Kissing between moms and babies actually enhances the baby’s immunity. It also increases the chemical bond between mom/baby. It is fascinating!
Francesca-
I’m in dentistry not medicine, but we were taught that the idea that kissing on the mouth boosts immunity is not really true. Also, even if it did aid against illness, it is also the number one way children wind up with caries – exchanging saliva with the mom (simple mouth kissing, sharing utensils, etc.) is how children get the cavity causing bacteria.
Kudos to Bey for keeping her thighs untouched in these photos.
Ha! Good one.
Thigh stalking for what?
I don’t know – there’s a lot of shadow on the left (her right) thigh…
Definitely cute, I love Blue’s hair and look at those little shoes. So adorable.
Jay Z seems like he is really relishing fatherhood.
It’s funny with Beyoncé and JayZ, we always see pics like these which they put out themselves but how often do you see any pap photos?
The pap photos are not that often and they do a good job of not having pap photos taken of Blue Ivy
They crave the limelight but at the same time are very selective of what the public sees and knows. Guess that is what happens when you do not have the paps on speed dial “side eye KKlan”
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. When I saw the title I thought it was going to be a bunch of pap photos. But no, just the photos THEY wanted to reveal for their fans on their blogs. They have a good balance between being a high profile celebrity (albeit a little show offy but what celeb isnt) and keeping their privacy and showing just enough so we dont get bored.
They have one of the best, most secretive PR team and it shows that if you want to have privacy and relevancy, it is certainly possible.
This family is so private………….
Second thing in the world that scares me to death are giant bunnies. First is of course clowns.
NOTHING in scarier than a clown.
hahahahahahahahaha
so true. it started as a child with Ronald McDonald for me. WORD.
Omg Paola! I feel the same. Totally terrified of clowns. It doesn’t help that they insist or hiring them for special events at the school I work at 😒
Since we’re sharing here: first for me is serial killers, second is the dude that glares at young women on the #66 bus while beating off.
We don’t see a lot of giant bunnies or clowns here in the city 😉
aren’t those shoes way yo big for her?they look too heavy for her to walk with
I hope there were other children there. Otherwise it’s a little sad that Blue Ivy is the only child there.
There are pics of BIC with other kids at the Easter event.Also she went to Disneyland last week with a few kids.She was mean mugging as usual 🙂
Ah, good! Sometimes these highly controlled photo ops look a bit airless to me, too isolated.
Blue Ivy looks cute, and looks like she’s having fun. I do have to agree, as much as the whole “document every moment with a pro photographer” creeps me out, it is preferable to have paparazzi swarming a small child.
I have to say, that outfit is not really flattering on Beyonce. She’s in amazing shape but that shirt somehow makes her look several months pregnant.
Adorable pics! I love seeing Blue Ivy. (Well, the back of her head; -) I also love that she releases pics on HER terms instead of paying the paps.
does she only pose to show the space between her legs now…haha
Ha! I noticed that too
Opened link only to confirm:
1) Thigh gap photo included
2) Hallmark sentimental scene of beautiful woman has family life documented
I have absolutely no problem with none of the pics, yes Beyoncé is a tad pretentious and even I get tired sometimes (im a BIG fan), but then again when I think how would I cope with being simultaneously adored and hated by millions of people, it’s hard not to develop some sort of God complex or at least some sense of entitlement…
Let’s stop pretending we’d be the exact same people if we had endless amounts of money, millions of adoring fans and the world scrutinizing our every move.
We’d probably be acting a lil different. Or become way worse (like, Alec Baldwin kinda bad!).
Ok that’s too much but I guess you understand what I mean…
Where’s that thigh gap? I cannot f*cking stand these two.
I’m utterly and completely with you, aenflex…
They are insufferable. Ugh.
Figh on that doily outfit but I am seriously digging her shades, sandals and nail polish. I also love that pic of her kissing Blue Ivy.
I want those shades! Does anyone know the brand? – ha! Like I can afford them- but I must know
Love them! I’m sure simple pics like these will still bring the hate lol.
Jay Z needs some proper footwear. His feet must have been reeking.
These pics are adorable. I admittedly kind of envy the lives they have.
Turns out the person underneath the bunny costume was really Solange.
Blue is quite pretty. I just don’t understand why they are pretending to celebrate Easter.
*seriously confused. It is a Christian holiday.
If you aren’t Christian (please excuse me if I don’t know the new rules- I’m eclectic), don’t you then celebrate egg hunting on the spring equinox?
Is Easter just a commercialized holiday now like Valentines Day?
But Beyonce is Christian, no?
Beyoncé needs to go away for a while. Why ALWAYS in the public eye???? She needs to let the world miss her for a while. I also think her music is mediocre at best so maybe she is striking while the iron is hot because she knows her time will be up soon enough. And it’s not like she has an acting career waiting for her.
Sorry (not really) to be the bitch, but some baby’s are unattractive. I don’t use ugly to describe peoples’ appearance because, for the most part, that is the hand the DNA god’s dealt one. But not every baby is gorgeous or cute. I think Blue is ok looking but she is not a “pretty” baby. Sorry again.
And why was there not a ton of criticism about the name Blue. God, I hate that name as much as I hate North or Apple or any of the other ridiculous names people are giving their kids.
Bey and Jay seem insufferable to me. Narcissistic money grabbing power hungry team. Never liked either of them. Their music or their constant pushing in our faces.
Maybe they control the public access well, but they are NOT private. We see everything. They stick everything in our faces. Yacht trips, overseas vacations, fancy restaurants. It is disgusting. All of Beyonce’s music is all about her. Her videos are all about her. Selfish people.
If they really wanted to be private they could. THey obviously don’t.
But….to give them some credit….I always believed that Blue Ivy’s face was not in the pics because they do not want the public to recognize such a small child. Now…IDK.
They’re quite easy to ignore if you really want to. You don’t have to click on articles discussing them and comment about how they’re so in your face. And how the heck is her music all about her? It’s about the same stuff every other popular female singer sings about. Really don’t see all the unnecessary hate.
These two morons are destroying the music industry.
