Any advice Beyonce and Jay-Z get about caring for their baby Blue Ivy Carter is greatly appreciated. Bey and Jigga already have an amazing support system (the best money can buy) in place. But, there’s no harm in more advice, especially when you can take it or leave it.

Fellow rapper and reality TV star, T.I.’s advice was, “Little girls are going to judge men they meet in the future based off how their father treated them. You’ve got to be her first love, her first everything so when she run into nonsense in the street then she’ll know, ‘Nah, my daddy would never do it like that, so this isn’t even worth my time or attention.”

So far, Jay-Z is doing a good job of that. The hip hop mogul is even going to take a break from running his entertainment empire to spend time with Blue Ivy and Beyonce. In a world where time is money, Hov’s going to be out a lot of dough. However, that all pales in comparison to the love he has for his baby.

Beyoncé turned heads at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday night in a stunning sheer Givenchy dress that hugged her frame in all the right places, making it impossible to tell that she’s the mother of a newborn. During her strut down the red carpet, Bey revealed that she ‘definitely’ plans to have more children.

In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” the singer opened up about motherhood. “I definitely want to have more. I don’t know how many. God knows, I don’t know yet,” she said. “I have such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.” This week the new mom also shared a new photo on her Tumblr account, showing off a “Blue” necklace paying tribute to her daughter.

Beyoncé’s red-carpet-ready look at the New York fashion gala arrived just as she announced that she’s added another date to her set of comeback shows in Atlantic City later this month. The singer has added a fourth show to her Memorial Day weekend residency at the Revel entertainment center in the New Jersey shore town. Tickets for the May 28 show go on sale on May 14, according to Aceshowbiz.com.

As for her set of comeback shows, she says she’s been working to get back into fighting shape. “I haven’t had much time in the gym [since the baby was born],” she said. “I’ve been rehearsing, I have a show coming up and it’s my first show in a year.”

In addition to the comeback shows, she’s also rumored to be working on the followup to 2011’s 4. ”The conversations about her next album, literally, just started and there [are] two projects happening,” producer Ryan Tedder said in February.”All I can say is, you kind of feed her the best that you have, and she’s this phenomenal filter and she takes it all in.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z have paid out £2,170 for a cot, £372,000 for a rocking horse and have spent £12,400 so far on their baby’s shoe collection.

So it’s no surprise the Blue Ivy is predicted to be the ‘worst, spoiled little child ever’ by her own father.

The rap mogul can be seen in a preview for an upcoming show to be aired on OWN called Oprah’s Master Class: Special Edition where he delves into the issues of parenthood.

While the video which also stars Jon Bon Jovi, Reba McIntire, Ted Turner and Diane Sawyer touches on the star’s humble beginnings, the subject soon turns to the VIP treatment his wife Beyonce’s first child will be getting.

Though the New York native would like to think he’ll take on techniques learnt from his parents during the years, with his $450 million worth, it’s hardly likely.

The 42-year-old admits the tot is going to get whatever she wants as she grows up with the power couple to call mum and dad. 

Speaking in the clip which features in the programme being shown in the United States on Sunday at 10 pm, he said: ‘I imagine I’ll take things I learned from my mom and things I’ve learned from raising my nephews and apply that.

‘Then at the end of the day, I just know I’ll probably have the worst, spoiled little kid ever.’

And the doting father is even preparing for the moment he realises his child is becoming an adult and seeking more independence. 

He laughed: ‘Everyone imagines they’ll be a great dad until their [children are] teenagers. [They say], ‘Get away from me, Dad. You’re embarrassing me.’ 

Earlier this week his partner proved she’s not too shy to wear her love of her daughter on her sleeve.

The 30-year-old posted a picture of herself on Tumblr wearing a silver necklace spelling Blue.

Blue Ivy Carter is going international!

After months of hanging out in NYC, Beyonce and Jay-Z took their daughter, three months, on a posh vacation to St. Bart’s over the long Easter weekend.

The first-time mom, 30, went resort-casual for several outings on the celeb-friendly island, wearing an orange cardigan and denim cut-off shorts that showed off her world-famous, slim legs. Holding a covered-up Blue, the singer (with her hair in a modest french braid) and Jay-Z, 42, boarded a luxury yacht for a daytime cruise.

In another shot, Beyonce and the “Otis” rapper left their bundle of joy behind for a romantic, hand-in-hand stroll down the streets of St. Bart’s.

The music super couple took their daughter on her first-ever trip shortly after they celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary last Wednesday April 4. The “Love on Top” singer shared her romantic joy with fans by posting a bevy of private, personal snapshots, many of them with her man (real name: Shawn Carter), on her tumblr and relaunched website Beyonce.com.

The superstar’s leisure time in NYC and St. Bart’s won’t last forever: she’s scheduled to perform three times over Memorial Day weekend at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Blue Ivy Carter has been out and about with a social life that is hipper than people 20 times her age.

Yesterday, her parents Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted bringing her along for lunch at the very trendy Nobu restaurant in Tribeca, New York.

The restaurant is a hot spot for celebrities and we’re sure Billboard charting baby Blue Ivy fit right in.

Mommy Bey covered her bundle of joy in a knitted blanket and held her close rocking a chic black fedora with a matching blazer and still sporting those funky blue nails, except this time they’re metallic!

Her hubby, who was all smiles as the couple left, was casual as usual wearing a throwback Glastonbury 2008 t-shirt.

The “Single Ladies” singer was seen cuddling her daughter as she sat in the back while Jay Z took a front seat in their chauffeur driven car.

We wonder when Bey is going to do her first post baby interview?!

We’re sure this little family couldn’t be any happier!

Beyonce Knowles thinks her baby Blue Ivy is changing all the time.

The ‘Love On Top’ hitmaker - who welcomed her first daughter on January 7 - has told singer Melanie Fiona, who is co-managed by Jay, she is confident the tot resembles her daddy but admits it changes every day.

Melanie told US Weekly magazine: ‘Beyonce says Blue changes every day and looks just like Jay now.

‘She just is so happy. I’ve seen Bey like three times since she’s had the baby. And she’s just glowing and she’s saying motherhood is the best, and she just loves it.’

Discussing Jay, she added he was on a perpetual high.

She said: ‘He’s in a good mood all the time!’

Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles recently revealed she would not be giving her sibling any advice about raising her daughter.

When asks if she gives advice, Solange said: ‘No, I really feel like because I had my son so young, I didn’t want everyone’s help. I think people felt entitled to give advice, so I’m always very sensitive to moms and letting them feel their way out. But there have been times when she’ll ask, ‘Did Julez do this? Did this ever happen with Julez?’ And I’ll gladly give her advice.’

Two more familiar faces joined the Linsanity crowd at the Knicks-Nets game at Madison Square Garden Monday night, adding to a roster already riddled with boldfaced names like Mark Zuckerberg, Spike Lee and Paul McCartney.

Jay-Z and wife Beyonce kept it low-key as they sat courtside for the NBA showdown, the first time the couple have been photographed together since the birth of their baby girl Blue Ivy.

Beyonce, 30, looked stunning in a canary-yellow blazer over a simple white top and skinny jeans, just weeks after Blue Ivy’s Jan. 7 birthday. And Jay-Z, 42, who is a co-owner of the New Jersey Nets, donned a grey sweatshirt and khakis for the game.

The “If I Were a Boy” singer also showed off bright blue nails, presumably in a nod to her baby daughter back home.

The pair, seated next to actress and fashion designer Chloe Sevigny, whispered and giggled throughout the night, according to the Daily Mail, and acted very lovey-dovey.

The superstar couple released photos of their bundle of joy online earlier this month, marking a decided departure from the common celebrity practice of striking a magazine deal for the images.

“We welcome you to share in our joy,” the couple had written at the time. “Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family.”

Their down-time won’t last for long, however.

Jay-Z will soon fly out to London to kick off his “Watch the Throne” tour in the European city May 20, and Beyonce has announced that she plans to release two albums this year.
