The proud parents of Blue Ivy Carter

It cost the couple $1.3 million dollars to shut down an entire wing of a Brooklyn, New York hospital, yet the results are probably worth it.  Jay-Z, AKA Shawn Carter, and wife Beyonce Knowles are the proud parents of a new baby girl.  The latest celebrity baby megastar is named Blue Ivy Carter.  That’s right, she’s a color, a plant, and a Carter all at the same time.  After some initial confusion regarding the order of the name, Blue Ivy’s name was confirmed via Twitter.

While Beyonce announced her pregnancy to the world at the VMAs, since then the couple has been characteristically secretive.  After all, this is a pair who didn’t even tell the world they were married (and still haven’t; the news was confirmed via public records).  So why Blue Ivy?  I’m not sure, but I’ve heard the Ivy part is related to the way both parents love the number IV (or four for normal folks).  As for the blue, I guess they like the color?  There’s no telling why people do things like that, but as bad celebrity baby names go, it’s a far sight better than Apple and Pilot Inspektor.

Here’s hoping they all celebrated with a big to-go order from Jay-Z’s restaurant Buffalo Boss.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
