It’s a girl for Beyonce and Jay-Z! E! Online and other sources have confirmed that Beyonce gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday night. Beyonce’s BFF Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted the baby’s name on Sunday: Blue Ivy Carter.

Reps for both singers haven’t confirmed the news yet, but several celeb friends have tweeted their congrats!

Rihanna tweeted, “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih.” Friend Russell Simmons also offered his congratulations, tweeting, “congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.”

According to New York Daily News, the superstar booked the fourth floor of the hospital for $1.3 million to make sure that her baby’s entrance into the world was nothing short of fiercely glamorous.

Speculation that Queen B’s due date was nearing was intensified right before New Year’s Eve, as Beyonce’s mother Tina, sister Solange and her family arrived in New York — no doubt to welcome their newest family member.

It was even reported that Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed a baby girl named Tiana-May Carter before the end of the year, but the rumors were put to rest after a still-pregnant Beyonce was spotted at dinner with Jay-Z on New Year’s Eve in Brooklyn.

Those who were eagerly anticipating the birth of Beyonce’s offspring pegged her due date to late December based on a DVD she released earlier this year, telling fans that she was six months pregnant. “Hello! It’s September 23rd … Right now I’m actually shooting the video for ‘Countdown’ and I’m six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits,” she said in her “Live at Roseland” DVD, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.

This is the first child for the couple who married in April 2008, uniting two of the biggest names in hip hop. Although B’s baby will not be able to comprehend the magnitude of her parents’ fame for some time, this sure is one lucky tot.

What do you think about the name Blue Ivy? Wonder what the inspiration is behind it.

Well, Beyonce certainly looks pregnant now! In fact, it looks like she’s about to deliver that baby any second! Beybey is all swollen up like a regular pregnant person!

She was spotted recently doing some last minute shopping with her mother Tina Knowles in Vancouver, BC. An employee at the mall snapped this picture as Beyonce shopped in the girl’s section of a department store. Beyonce’s bodyguards were all over the place – trying to keep pictures from being taken. The picture above was taken from a surveillance camera.

I can see why she freaked out about people taking her picture!

Hey – no judgement…. Chubby babies are cuter anyway.

Now that their family is about to go from two to three, Beyonce and hubbie Jay-Z were spotted mansion-hunting in Miami Beach, and word on the street is they were taking a long look at singer Ricky Martin‘s 9,491 square foot home.

There’s no word on whether or not the couple have made an official offer on the house that Ricky purchased back in $10,000,000 — especially now that it’s listed over $2million over the purchase price at $12,500,000.

The place is pretty sick — boasting 7 beds, 10 baths, a swimming pool … and it’s located in one of the ritziest parts of Miami Beach, close to Miami Heat superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

There has been a lot of real estate buying and selling with the Knowles clan; Beyonce’s mother Tina not only put her Texas home on the market recently, but just a few weeks ago she listed her Manhattan apartment with word that she would be moving in with Bey and Jay.

Beyonce’s latest video is out, and it is full of sexy dance moves in next-to-nothing!

She clearly shot the video for “Dance for You” before she started to show … but being pregnant didn’t stop her from showing a lot of skin while doing a provocative private dance for a man in a crazy-short dress and thigh-highs.

What do you think of her new music video?

Superstar mom-to-be Beyonce Knowles isn’t letting her growing baby bump slow her down as she opts out of attending the American Music Awards to host a promotional screening of her new DVD release, “Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4″ at the Paris Theatre in New York. Although Beyonce is due in February, she still continues to look as amazing as ever!

I’m thinking Kelly Rowland is feeling a bit guilty after she accidentally revealed the sex of Beyonce’s baby on the red carpet last week. Rowland let the secret slip on the red carpet at the Cosmopolitan Awards in London.

“I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible,” the singer, 30, told the UK’s BANG Showbiz. “She won’t be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after.”

Whoops!

So what did Auntie Kelly buy the baby girl? How about a $5,200, Swarovski-crystal-studded Baby Diamond Bathtub.

The “Best Thing I Never Had” singer reportedly received the gift from Rowland, her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, in anticipation of the bundle-of-joy she’s expecting this February with husband Jay-Z.

Well looked-after by both her parents and, evidently, her “Auntie Kelly,” as Beyonce told Closer magazine Rowland will be known to her child.

Crafted by California-based interior designer Lori Gardner, the baby-sized, footed, porcelain tub is covered in 44,928 imported crystals that Gardner reportedly spends more than two months applying by hand.

While Beyonce was gifted the pink version, the bling bathtub, weighing in at more than 3,000 pounds, is available in all the Swarovski colors.

Not to be impractical, the bathtub, according to the designer, can also be used for pets or as a beverage chiller for parties. Just don’t expect to see any Cristal champagne chilling in any Baby Bathtub belonging Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby offspring, of course.
