    According to the New York Daily News, a Lenox Hill staffer said Beyonce checked into the hospital under the alias Ingrid Jackson, and employees reportedly covered security cameras and were forced to turn in their cell phones when arriving for their shifts in order to prevent a photo of the baby from being leaked to the public.

    Friends of the power couple immediately took to Twitter to offer congratulatory messages.

    "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih," Rihanna wrote, while Gwyneth Paltrow Tweeted, "Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already."

      Suspect. She just announced pregnancy in September and now gave birth. Something fishy!! I am not usually a conspiracy theorist but it doesn't add up here!

      Beyonce I love you but do you realize what your child is going to go through growing up with that name??? Come on, why can't these celebrities give their kids normal names already. This is on the same boat as Alicia Keys with Egypt. Christ already.

      Princess? Queen B? This country is sick.

      I just hope it isn't true that other parents weren't allowed to see their new babies due to this "high profile" childbirth. All babies and parents are equal, regardless of your name and income. If that is the case, I hope the rental of the floor costs them much more.
    • Lady Beatrice  •  Los Angeles, California  •  4 months ago
      these two made something of themselves despite not being educated. some people have degrees and have dont nothing. which is worst? that said, she used a surrogate methinks.
    • ID  •  4 months ago
      Well she should of just had the baby at home, that 1.3 mill could of went towards her doctors, nurses....etc they just wanted some recognition if ya ask me

      Are y'all retarded? Selfish??? And FYI, they're other hospital rooms, if the rooms weren't available for them to rent the entire floor they couldn't! How can they be the ones taking the heat for that? If you wanna be sore at someone take it up with the hospital for making it possible for money to talk, they obviously had the 'other people who need rooms' covered or not they wouldn't have done it. And do you not get how incredibly invasive the paparazzi are? Why wouldn't they spend top dollar to ensure their privacy? They've always been a very private couple, and it's the birth of their first child - a very personal and emotional moment for them both, why shouldn't they use their resources to ensure the day has the atmosphere they want? It's not about thinking they're more special, it's about doing what's best/right for them idiots. If it were you, even at an average income scale and the best thing for you and your baby were to pay for a private clinic rather than going to the free one wouldn't you do it? I'm so sick of y'all narrow minded jag-offs making everything about status and money. You do the most/best with what you have, some of us have more than others; we work hard for it, why should we apologize for that? Or be criticized for it?

        WHO THE HELL RENTS OUT AN ENTIRE FLOOR OF A HOSPITAL TO HAVE A CELEB GIVE BIRTH! THIS IS OUTRIGHT #$%$ THERE IS NO BABY BUT A SURROGATE! I HATE TO THINK THAT THERE WILL BE NO PHOTOS AND THE ENTIRE STAFF WAS UNDER A CONTRACT TO NOT REVEAL ANY INFO AND THAT THEY WERE TOLD TO TURN IN THEIR CELL PHONES! DOESN'T THAT TELL IT ALL ABOUT THE THIS PHONY PREGNANCY OF HERS.Two days ago B' was sprinting out to a waiting car without J' with a flat belly! All done up! How do you explain that on a Saturday when she supposedly gave birth. I don't believe it I will never believe it and you "can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time." She's a fake and a phony!!!!!!! The public will never accept this #$%$.....because she lied. That's why! Jay Z walking the halls and family shows up =====so what! That doesn't mean she is the one giving birth ...no, her surrogate is. She annouced she was pregant in August on stage! Okay, so how do you explain if she was 3-4- months then aug-jan is 5 months and if she was 4 months back then then it wouldn't be due til Feb. She kept hiding her belly and I don't know of any star I've seen that does that ....why, because her fake belly gave her away from the git-go on a show she got interviewed as you are all aware. She just would rather use a surrogate than what she probably believes compromise her body! Or whatever else she has! If she had a c-section as publizied, this is a premature birth....and then won't be made to worry her because "I hope her surrogate is doing well. Surrogate probably has a contract to keep her mouth shut or else! Not to mention the big bucks she probably got and would forfeit if made public! She is a liar and a self-absorbed phony and does not and would not ever give birth herself! A very deceptive person. Most people would have just been upfront and said she wanted a surrogate and donated eggs of her had jZ....the public just does not want to be deceived. Cut to the chase! She's a liar personified and a bonified underhanded #$%$er!

        Have you ever been pregnant? Worn maternity clothes with the elasticized pouches & padding for cushioning...like a lightly padded bra that smooths your bust & hides your nipples? News flash: They've been known to shift with movement, especially if it's a loose fitting garment. My sister watched that video & laughed so hard at y'all fools. All she could say was poor B, typical things that happen are being blown out of proportion because brainless #$%$ need something to talk about. Myth: Her belly appeared to bend so it's a fake. Myth BUSTED.If Kim K, the spotlight sponge, said she was preggers, then suddenly became private about it & had all these discrepancies, then appeared with a baby, deductive reasoning would suggest it could be a lie because Kim K is not private about anything and would've probably had MTV in the delivery suite, but B doesn't need to do that, B knows who she is and didn't have to take it on camera to become "famous", she actually has a talent. Myth: Beyonce wasn't all over flashing her bump so it's a fake. Myth BUSTED.Myth: Two A List of the A List celebrities, historically known for being uber-private about their personal life, spent a ton of money to make sure the birth of their first baby,(whose sex, due date & conception were all kept secret) went the way they wanted, away from prying eyes, in the presence of few, with any info being released on their terms & not by some nurse with a camera phone? Oh wait, that's TRUTH and if you weren't so small minded you would've figured it out yourself. But bitter, unhappy people always love to believe the worst of people and add their ignorant two cents.Your Question: WHO THE HELL RENTS OUT AN ENTIRE FLOOR OF A HOSPITAL TO HAVE A CELEB GIVE BIRTH? Smart Answer: A hospital who respects a person's need for privacy. General Question: Who would pay it? Smart answer: Those who can afford to.....Being a celebrity may look like fun, but it's not easy when bitter, jealous, mean spirited people like you roam free.You should think twice before you open your crap spewing pie hole. She's a liar personified...really? What did she lie to you about? Did she herself tell you a bunch of stuff that turned out not to be true...no, wait that was the tabloids and the news. She's underhanded? Because she chooses to hide her private life, in an effort to be happy in it and doesn't spoon feed you her every waking moment like some empty headed celebs? B is a kind, genuine person; more beautiful inside that she is on the outside, your ignorance shows that you clearly don't know her, so sit it down & shut it up! I bet next you'll be on the baby's name like an idiot, going on about the secret meaning and it's Latin for this, etc...before you do, learn some Latin then get back to me. Look at how you've gotten so up in arms, regurgitating you heard about someone you don't even know...you words may be strong, but your mind is incredibly weak. You, and those like you, are feebleminded personified.Big picture: Healthy baby girl.
