Solange's Son Wants To Rap?

Solange and Beyonce may seem like polar opposites, but the Knowles sisters are as close as ever. Closer, maybe, considering now big sis Bey is a mom like baby sis Solange. In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Solange spoke about her son and how close he is with his baby cousin, Blue Ivy. “Blue comes over, I babysit,” says Solange. “[Beyoncé] takes Julez sometimes for the weekend. [Blue] and Julez are going to grow up more like sister and brother than cousins.” And apparently, Julez may be taking after his legendary uncle, Jay-Z. “[He's] showing signs of wanting to be an artist," she added. "“He loves it. It’s so scary.”

T.I.'s Advice To Jay-Z

"The King of the South," rapper T.I. shared some fatherly advice to fellow hip hop megastar Jay-Z. Jay and Beyonce welcomed their baby daughter into the world back in January, and Tip--who knows a thing or two about child-raising--decided to offer Jigga a few tips about raising a little girl.

"Little girls are going to judge men they meet in the future based off how their father treated them," said T.I. "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.'"

"Another piece of advice is enjoy the moments," he continued. "Enjoy the moments because once they're gone, they're gone."

Jay-Z Focusing On Fatherhood

One of the most respected hip hop artists of all time may be taking a break from music. Jay-Z says that he wants to focus on being a father to his baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter; and that writing rhymes isn't as high on his priority list right now.

While he is still a top draw as a performer, he told The Juice that he won't be releasing any new material any time soon.

“I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter,” said Jay. "I want to enjoy this time for what it is. I'm sure that bug to get back in the studio will come back at some point."

Jay-Z released last year's top-selling Watch the Throne album with Kanye West, but hasn't released a solo album since 2009's The Blueprint III.

Beyonce Wants More Babies

Beyonce may be relatively new to motherhood, but the 30-year old superstar has already indicated that she wants to add to her and Jay-Z's growing family. While she admits that she does want more kids to raise alongside her daughter, Blue Ivy, Bey also says she's not sure when the world could expect a second bundle o' joy.

"I have such a full life," she gushed. "I feel like now I know the reason that I was born."

"Of course, I definitely want to have more," she said. "I don't know how many. God knows; I don't know yet."

And for those wondering how she got back into shape so fast, she uncovered the 'mystery.'

"I've been working really hard," said B. "There are no secrets--discipline."

Jay-Z Fawns Over Blue Ivy

Jay-Z will be appearing on Oprah's "Master Class: Special Edition" and the hip hop star says that he fully expects to be a doting father and knows that he'll likely spoil his baby girl, Blue Ivy.

"I imagine I'll take things I learned from my mom and things I've learned from raising my nephews and apply that," he said.

"Then at the end of the day, I just know I'll probably have the worst-spoiled little kid ever," he admitted.

"Everyone imagines they'll be a great dad until their [kids are] teenagers," he said. "[Then they say], 'Get away from me, dad. You're embarrassing me'."

Beyonce Scoffed At Fake Pregnancy Rumors

Beyonce finally addressed the rumors that she faked her pregnancy in this month's issue of PEOPLE. The superstar has been at the center of innumerable ridiculous rumors from the moment she became a star, but she says that she wasn't hurt by the fake baby talk--she was just dumbfounded by it.

“That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy,” she says. “[I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”

“I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months,” she says. ”As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”

Rihanna Talks Blue Ivy

Rihanna talked to Australia's "The Matt and Jo Show" about Beyonce and Jay-Z's lil one, Blue Ivy. The singer said that she was nervous to even hold 'The Golden Child' when she first met the baby. It says a lot when you can make one of the biggest celebrities in the world nervous at only three months old.

“I went to visit her once and honestly, it’s very surreal,” Rihanna said. “It’s almost like you don’t want to touch her. I held her and I just felt like ‘Oh my God, she’s gonna break.’ She’s so tiny and cute and precious.”

She added that Blue Ivy will likely never have to face house chores as a kid.

“Chores are important for a young lady. They teach you a lot about life,” explained Rihanna. “but [Blue Ivy Carter] will probably never have to do a dish in her life.”

Pharrell Breaks Down "Glory"

Superproducer Pharrell Williams decided to share some facts about "Glory," Jay-Z's tribute song to his baby daughter Blue Ivy. Pharrell, who produced the track, says that the idea was premeditated and intended to also be a nod to Stevie Wonder's 1976 classic "Isn't She Lovely"--which was also a tribute to his newborn daughter.

"It was something we had planned before it happened, so we were basically waiting," he said. "That was like our nod and homage to when Stevie [Wonder] did it for his baby, Asia [on 'Isn't She Lovely']. And we weren't trying to make the same song at all, it was like we wanted to capture a moment in time to commemorate the birth of his baby. I did the same thing with [my baby] Rocket, I'm just more quiet and private about my life."

"But he and his beautiful wife, they live a different lifestyle and for him it was important for him to stop everything that he had going on and just sort of make statement to his baby and his wife," he said. "I was honored to be a filmmaker for that beat."

Tina Knowles On Blue Ivy:

Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby daughter, Blue Ivy, has been the subject of numerous interviews, op-ed articles, gossip rumors and Twitter trends--but no one had heard from the infant's grandmother. Tina Knowles finally gave her two cents on the World's Most Famous Four-Week Old in a recent interview with People magazine.

"She's doing great," Knowles says. "She's beautiful."

"It's the second best job I've ever had," Knowles said of being a grandmother (even though Beyonce's sis Solange has a kid--oh well.)

As for who Blue Ivy resembles the most? Tina ain't going there just yet.

"She's only a month old," she says. "So we have to give her a minute."

Oprah Is NOT Blue Ivy's Godmother?

Blue Ivy Carter has been the subject of more Internet gossip than celebrities that have been around for decades. The weeks old infant supposedly got the greatest of fairy godmothers last week, with Momma Beyonce and Poppa Jay-Z reportedly giving Oprah Winfrey the illustrious title.

Except there's no truth to it. At least that's what Oprah's longtime BFF Gayle King says.

"It's absolutely not true that she's the godmother," King said. "She's friends with them, of course, and likes them both very much. She's working on sending them a baby gift. She hasn't even had time to send a baby gift because she's been away. Let me just say, if (that report is) true, it is news to her. It is news to her. You know, she was heading to South Africa when the baby was born."2012.
