Beyoncé Spotted With Uncovered Blue Ivy Carter

Beyoncé is rocking a new hairdo and the world has managed to sneak another peek at baby Blue Ivy. Beyoncé and her baby girl were photographed on the streets of Manhattan. While outdoors, the baby was covered with a white blanket but that didn’t stop photographers from getting a picture of the little girl and her famous mommy while they were in an undisclosed building. The picture popped up on a Beyoncé fan page on popular blogging site Tumblr.  Blue with her chubby cheeks and headful of black hair bares a strong resemblance to the “Single Ladies” singer.

In addition to her baby girl, the songstress was sporting a bunch of blonde box braids, similar to the black ones sported by her younger sister and current “It” girl Solange.  The braids are reminiscent of her Destiny’s Child days when she was commonly seen with corn-rowed hair.

While Beyoncé hangs out with Blue, there are rumors circulating that she may be at the top of the list of possible judges for American Idol. According to Entertainment Wise, show producers are considering Beyoncé because they want someone who is “relevant, younger and established.” There has been no word from the singer’s rep on whether or not the story is true.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
