Taking good care of her little bundle of joy, Beyonc Knowles held Blue Ivy Carter close to her body as she walked past a swarm of shutterbugs in New York City today (July 18).
The ?Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)? hitmaker donned a colorful patterned leggy dress with beautiful braided tresses and definitely wasn?t pleased to be disturbed as she headed into a Manhattan building.

She always looks picture perfect, and tonight was no different as Beyonce Knowles brightened up the 2012 BET Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday (July 1).
The "Run The World (Girls)" singer glammed up the Shrine Auditorium venue while joining her rap mogul hubby Jay-Z at the annual showcase.
Meanwhile, Miss Knowles was among the esteemed winners during the course of the festivities - as she was crowned as Best Female R&B Artist - beating out Marsha Ambrosius, Mary J. Blige, Melanie Fiona and Rihanna.
The 2012 BET Awards are being hosted by actor Samuel L. Jackson while featuring performances by Usher, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj.
With Kanye West being the top nominee with seven bids for hardware, the show also includes special tributes to the late, great Whitney Houston, as well as Rev. Al Sharpton as the Humanitarian Award Honoree and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly as the Life Achievement Award winner.

Here are some new photos of Beyonce, Jay-Z and baby Blue Ivy in Paris today. It?s a rare occasion – Blue Ivy?s daddy is holding her for a public outing. Usually Beyonce is the official baby-carrier, but not this time. Maybe Beyonce wanted to show off her Pink outfit. Can we talk about Bey?s outfit for a sec? I hate myself for liking it all together. Maybe I was just sick of seeing Bey do shades of BLUE or maybe hot Pink is just her color, but she looks good here. The pants are an unflattering disaster (tapered leg AND pleats?!?), but all together? it?s good. Beyonce looks super-fit too. She?s just come off her wildly successful New Jersey concerts, where she had practiced, exercised and trained for, like, 12 hours a day? so of course she?s fit.
As for Jay-Z and Blue? I do enjoy seeing photos of a fathers and daughters. I wish Beyonce and Jay didn?t feel the need to always cover Blue?s face. I mean, I know why they do it and I hate that the paparazzi got so close to the family. But still – we already know what Blue Ivy looks like (Indian!), and I want to see the baby. Notice too – Blue Ivy is barefoot! No little Louboutins, no little diamond-encrusted socks. Blue Ivy?s feet can touch the Paris air.
The family Carter-Knowles was caught leaving their hotel, I think. Reports indicate that they?re on their way to Belgium for the next concert stop for Jay and Kanye?s Watch The Throne tour. They performed in Paris over the weekend – and Gwyneth Paltrow was in attendance, of course. Gwyneth even tweeted something about ?N–gas in Paris? and everyone had a fit. Not to defend Goop too much, but it is the name of Jay and Kanye’s song.

Making for quite the fabulous family, Beyonc and Jay-Z were spotted getting the week underway in Paris, France on Monday (June 4).
The "Halo" singer was decked out in a cute and colorful ensemble as she was escorted inside Meurice Hotel while her rap star hubby toted baby Blue Ivy into the posh City of Lights resting spot.
The sighting comes as it has just been announced that Beyonce has signed on to voice a role in a new animated film titled "Epic".
According to ContactMusic, the 30-year-old will assume the role of Queen Tara with the plot of the movie finding "a teenage girl who, after finding herself magically dropped into a secret universe, teams up with a unique group of characters to help save the world."
Directed by Chris Wedge, other stars attached to the project include Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Knoxville, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler and Josh Hutcherson.

Beyonce began her four-date New Jersey concert series this weekend, her first concerts since giving birth (!) to Blue Ivy in January. We don?t have agency photos from the concert, unfortunately, but you can see some photos here and here. I?m including some photos from Beyonce?s Tumblr, all of which I think are actually from the concert. Beyonce wore custom-made costumes by Ralph & Russo and the costumes used ?500,000 Swarovski Elements crystals.? Jay-Z was there of course, and he tweeted, ?I’m gonna say this and then I’m gonna end mine. Beyonce is the best performer in the world. Period.? Aw? that?s really cute. Michelle Obama took her daughters to the concert, and Beyonce had some stuff to say about losing her pregnancy weight. Cough.
New mom Beyonce, who gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy in January, knew there was no time to waste in slimming down as the May dates for her four-concert weekend in Atlantic City, NJ approached. Especially when the star would be squeezing her bod into custom-made Ralph & Russo designs, including a midriff-baring, fringed two-piece adorned with Swarovski crystals.
“Y’all have no idea how hard I worked!” the 30-year-old exclaimed to her fans during her concert at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall Saturday night. “I had to lose 60 pounds. They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!”
And now that the superstar is halfway through her much-anticipated, post-baby concert return, she’s celebrating.
“Now tonight I’m gonna get chocolate wasted!” Jay-Z’s wife told her fans.
Saturday’s show proved to be quite the star-studded event: Michella Obama and her daughters Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, were in attendance. (Back in April, Beyonce wrote a heartfelt, public letter to the First Lady in which she thanked her for being a “true, strong African American woman.”)
“They sat up in a private balcony with Gayle King. Michelle was jamming out to ‘Crazy in Love,’” a concertgoer tells Us Weekly. “When Beyonce told the crowd to get up and jump, [Malia and Sasha] stood and started dancing and jumping. They were shouting when Beyonce asked, ‘Do girls run the world?’”
“Together, all three of them did the ‘Single Ladies’ dance moves,” the concertgoer adds.

I feel like we?ve heard several different figures for how much weight Beyonce gained during her pregnancy, right? And none of those figures was ?60 pounds?.
In additional to all of that, Beyonce has also given us two videos all about her preparations for these concerts. Beyonce put the videos up on her site (here). They?re full of Beyonce goodness, including her statement: ?What I’m trying to say in the show is, ‘Yes I had a baby. It just made me more grounded and more like you.?? For real. Also: Beyonce looks so amazing without makeup.

I still can?t get over Beyonce?s Givenchy gown at the Met Gala. It?s been days and I?m still thinking about this hideousness. How did the House of Givenchy allow Beyonce to walk out with this dress? Did they send it to her, all ?Girl, this dress will look AMAZING on you?? Or did Beyonce make the call? Was she all ?THIS is the dress, y?all, these feathers are going to steal the damn show!? I tend to believe Bey made the call and the Givenchy people were secretly horrified. Although… they designed this crap, not Beyonce. They should be ashamed of themselves. Anyway, while Beyonce was on the Met Gala carpet, she only granted one interview, to Entertainment Tonight. In the piece, Beyonce confirms that she wants more kids (pillows?):
Blue Ivy Carter may not be a “Single Lady” forever. At the Met Gala in New York City Monday, new mom Beyonce Knowles, 30, said she and husband Jay-Z, 42, have talked about expanding their brood. “I definitely want to have more,” Knowles told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t know how many. God knows. I don’t know yet.”
Just don’t expect a pregnancy announcement in the near future. “I don’t know about soon!” Knowles giggled.
The singer — who is currently rehearsing for a special three-night engagement over Memorial Day Weekend at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey — added that she has “such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.”
Knowles said she’s “been working really hard” to get her post-baby back. “There are no secrets. [It takes] discipline!”
She’s not kidding. The 16-time Grammy Award winner works out five days a week with trainer Marco Borges. “We do cardio and plyometric moves like lunges and jumps on and off a bench,” the pro recently told Us Weekly.
Knowles, who is 5-foot-9, avoids processed fare and sticks to whole foods like vegetables and grilled meats. “You don’t have to eat only celery sticks,” Borges advised. “Be sensible and exercise constantly.”

I giggled when Beyonce said ?there are no secrets? to how she got her body back after the baby. Girl, keep trying to convince us. I love that she keeps trying. And don?t you love how the stories about her workouts keep changing? She says one thing to People Magazine, her trainer says another thing to Us Weekly, then Beyonce mentions to ET that she hasn?t been working out that much? except for ?dancing, eight hours, nine hours a day.? Hahahaha. Wait, is she serious?

Looking as happy as can be, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were spotted at the launch of the parenting book, The Thriving Child, in New York City on Tuesday night (May 8).
The new parents were clearly enjoying themselves and playfully grabbing each other's faces while helping Antonio "L.A." Reid launch his wife's literary work titled The Thriving Child - which is a memoir of Erica Reid's experiences from raising two children in New York City.

She?s always ready for a classy affair, and last night (May 7) Beyonc Knowles was in the house for the 2012 Met Gala.
The ?Crazy in Love? songstress looked amazing in a Givenchy Haute Couture see-through gown, and talked with press about wanting to have more kids.
Beyonce began, ?I definitely want to have more. I don?t know how many. God knows I don?t know yet,? also noting that daughter Blue Ivy is doing wonderful.
From here, Ms. Knowles will be getting back in game shape for a four-night run in Atlantic City, New Jersey that kicks off on Memorial Day weekend.

Beyonce flew solo at the Met Gala last night. And by ?solo? I mean without Jay-Z, because I?m pretty sure Bey had some stylists and feather-fluffers around her. Beyonce wore this feathered Givenchy MESS. I know I said Sofia was one of the worst looks (and she was), but can we all agree that Beyonce was probably THE worst of the evening? OMG. I can?t even believe what I?m seeing, that?s how bad it is. I feel like I?m hallucinating. And just think? last year, Beyonce tried to do the ?show-stopping? look of the night too – remember her vinyl dress which was so tight, she couldn?t even move? Think about that timeline too? Beyonce was ?pregnant? at last year?s Met Gala. And now, just a few months after ?giving birth,? Beyonce is at the gala once again, flashing all of her bits and pieces.
Shall we really go through all of the parts of this dress which are made of hideousness? Here?s an honest question: if you took off the purple feathers, would you like this dress more? Obviously, the purple feathers are a fug bridge too far, but even without them, I would hate this look. It?s too sheer, especially from behind. The sleeves and the bodice look too lingerie-y. And the lining throughout the bodice just looks cheap and swimsuit-y, like it was added as an afterthought.
Two more things: the dress has built-in gloves. Is that what it?s called? The sleeves are gloves. Sleeve-gloves. The effect is cheap. Second thing: I really dislike Beyonce?s blonde ponytail. I feel like it?s the same hairstyle Gwyneth Paltrow did for the Oscars.

I enjoy how People Magazine keeps drawing out the excerpts from their ?Most Beautiful? cover story with Beyonce. That cover was two weeks ago, and People keeps putting more and more excerpts online. They really hit the jackpot with this interview – Beyonce talked about more personal stuff than anything else, and many of you are not buying what she?s selling. AT ALL. We?ve already talked about the excerpts regarding Beyonce?s take on the ?fake pregnancy? thing, how Beyonce did not feel beautiful during the ?birth?, and how she breastfed for 10 weeks and then stopped. These new excerpts are about Beyonce and her hair, how Bey doesn?t want Blue Ivy to grow up focusing on ?the aesthetic? and how Bey loves old mascara. Sidenote: I covered a few of these quotes before, but this piece has way more context:
Beyonce remembers first trying makeup when she was 6 years old.
“I was playing in my mother’s makeup,” she tells PEOPLE. “I had blue eye shadow and red lips, and I put crazy blush on. I looked like a clown, but I thought I was so beautiful.”
Her routine has come a long way since then ? the singer often does her own makeup for appearances ? but her love for the basics remains. Asked what she wears to look awake after sleepless nights spent with baby Blue, she replies, “Lip gloss ? I love L’Oral’s Infallible 8 HR Le Gloss in Coral Sands ? and a little bit of blush.”
Growing up around her mom Tina Knowles’s salon, Beyonc learned a lot about beauty. “I like to experiment [with my hair],” she says. “I love playing around with highlights or bleaching the tips. I can cut and style my own hair.”
In fact, she recently gave herself a trim, cutting two inches off her ends. “I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh,” she reveals.
But it’s inner beauty that she values most ? and she hopes her daughter will learn to do the same. “My biggest thing is to teach [Blue] not to focus on the aesthetic,” she says. “It’s really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.”
The Secret of Old Mascara
Still, being a superstar means having to focus on the physical. When asked if she’s comfortable leaving the house without makeup, Beyonc says, “Every day in my life is a part of my history, and I’ve worked really hard on my career and my life. So I make sure I wouldn’t be upset if somebody saw me.”
That means her standard lip gloss and blush, plus moisturizer ? “I don’t have to spend that much time on my skin,” she admits ? and sometimes, mascara.
“I’m pretty good at throwing out the expired stuff, but I hold on to my mascara for a long time,” she says. “I actually prefer old mascara. It makes your lashes thicker and longer.”
But regardless of who’s seeing her and where, the star is feeling better than ever. “I have embraced my flaws,” she says. “And I feel more confident.”
[From People]
As always, I have to ask: are you buying what Beyonce is selling? Is she wearing you down? Or with each new excerpt, are you growing more and more ambivalent towards her? I?ll tell you the truth – before Blue, before the pillowy bump, I was pretty much over Beyonce. She was annoying the hell out of me. But ever since the bump and the baby, she?s just trying so hard, and it really does seem like she?s trying to be more interesting. So? while I don?t believe all of the stuff she?s shilling, I like that she?s trying.
Also – Jay-Z has a new interview about his daughter. Jay appeared on last night?s Oprah?s Master Class: Special Edition, and he talked about how he is as a parent. Jay- 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? Everyone imagines they’ll be a great dad until their [kids are] teenagers. [They say], ‘Get away from me, Dad. You’re embarrassing me.?? I think Blue Ivy will probably be a spoiled kid too, but I think it will be a different kind of ?spoiled celebrity kid? than we?re used to seeing. Blue won?t be a little Suri Cruise or a Willow Smith. Blue is going to break the mold of what we know about celebrity children, mark my words.
Here?s a new photo from Beyonce?s Tumblr. Girl got a new wig! She wanted to show it off.
