It happened, you guys! Beyonce finally had her baby on Saturday night, and it was greeted by a massive social media explosion and, more interestingly, a ridiculous list of rumors (and some really interesting tidbits of truth). When little Blue Ivy Carter is older, her famous parents can entertain her by sitting her in her $7,000 crystal tub and telling her warm, fuzzy stories about the time people thought she was named after Satan's daughter. We run down the best rumors and reports, in order from "Mad Crazy" to "Probably True."
Mad Crazy: B and Jay-Z are satanic spawners who are also in the Illuminati
Through a process as mysterious and magical as birth itself, a rumor somehow sprouted up that the baby’s unusual name, “Blue Ivy,” is a subtle hint at Beyonce and Jay-Z’s secret life. Apparently, “Eulb Yvi,” which is the baby’s name backwards, is the name of Satan’s daughter in Latin. No amount of Internet searching is going to give you a satisfactory answer here, but let’s agree this is probably not true, okay?
Oh, and another good one: Some people think BLUE IVY stands for “Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati’s Very Youngest.” Then again, it could also stand for “Bored Losers Unravel Everything, Internet’s Very Yucky.” See, conspiracy theorists? Everyone can play that game!
Probably Not: Beyonce has a whole brood of inflatable pillow babies.
There was a video. Then there were rumors that Beyonce padded her bump for her big pregnancy reveal at the VMAs because she wasn’t big enough yet. Then there was flattening, expanded, and re-flattening of her belly that Beyonce herself explained away as the magic of shapewear. Either way, there are still rumors out their that little Blue Ivy has a whole bunch of fake pillow siblings that have helped her mommy along through these last several months.
Hmm: Mommy B and Daddy Jay shelled out $1.3 million dollars for a bullet-proof maternity suite
Reports say the couple spent over a million dollars transforming the maternity ward at Lenox Hill Hospital into a high-security fortress, complete with bullet-proof glass. To that end, a Brooklyn man says the “exclusive nightclub” atmosphere and contingency of bodyguards kept him from seeing his newborn twins. However, reports say a spokeswoman for the hospital said she had not heard of any complaints, and that the hospital and its employees "take patient satisfaction very seriously." Not even three days old and Baby Blue may be already stealing other people’s thunder? Rough.
True: Baby B will bathe in style, depress us normal folks
Word is the Knowles/Carter family built a 2,200-sqaure-foot nursery for their little princess. All the better to house a $7,000-dollar pink Swarovski crystal-encrusted bath tub, courtesy of pal Kelly Rowland. Unfortunately, this rumor is true, and now your day is a little worse, because you know that not only does a $7,000-dollar baby bathtub exist, but it was purchased and now hangs out in a nursery the size of some houses. You’re welcome.
