Beyoncé Labels Daughter Blue Ivy "A Cultural Icon" In Leaked Court Documents - Capital XTRA Posted: 25 Sep 2019 07:42 AM PDT 25 September 2019, 15:42 | Updated: 25 September 2019, 15:43 Beyonce calls daughter Blue Ivy 'a cultural icon'. Picture: PA Beyoncé and husband Jay Z have been locked in a dispute to try and trademark their young daughter's name. For years now, Beyoncé and Jay Z have been involved in a legal battle with a Boston-based wedding and event planning company named 'Blue Ivy' as they try and trademark the same name for their daughter. The company's owner Veronica Morales has disputed the power couple's request to trademark the name and in recently revealed court documents Bey and Jay's plea to officials in order persuade them to free up the Blue Ivy trademark was outlined. In documents reportedly optained by The Blast, Beyoncé claims that her daughter Blue Ivy has 'achieved a significant amount of fame' and has 'a noted and well-docuemtned interest in fashion'. According to the reports, Beyoncé and her team said, "Indeed, the circumstantial evidence, including Blue Ivy Carter's fame, her interest in fashion and design, and her familial relationship with two of the most famous performers in the world all support BGK's intent to use the BLUE IVY CATER trademark in connection with building a brand consistent with Blue Ivy Carter's interests and skills." It goes on to say, "Blue Ivy Carter is a cultural icon who has been described as a 'mini style star' and has been celebrated for her 'fashion moments' overs the years. Her life and activities are followed extensively by the media and the public." Explaining Blu Ivy's cultural impact, the statement continues, "Most significantly, Blue Ivy Carter has achieved a significant amount of fame, particularly at such a young age. She also has a noted and well-chronicled interest in fashion." "Given these factors, Blue Ivy Carter is capable of and interested in becoming the face of a brand. For this reason, the factual context demonstrates that BGK filed the Application with the intent to build a brand around Blue Ivy Carter and her public reputation and renown." The case is ongoing and it remains to be seen whether or not Beyoncé and Jay Z will be handed the rights to the Blue Ivy trademark. > Download Our Free App For All the Latest Music News!

Beyonce and Jay-Z care more about their fame than letting Blue Ivy be herself - The Sun Posted: 28 Sep 2019 02:59 PM PDT I SUPPOSE there's been some clues since day one that Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, isn't ever going to lead a "normal" life. Perhaps the main one is that she's had her own personal stylist and shopper since she could toddle her way on to the red carpet, and she is only seven years old. 7 Beyonce and Jay-Z care more about their fame and reputation than they do about letting Blue Ivy forge her own path, find her own identity and be herselfCredit: Beyonce.com At one Grammy Awards, for example, she wore a white Valery Kovalska tuxedo pantsuit with sparkling silver shoes and a beaded black clutch. That was the time — remember? — when at the age of six she shushed her parents from clapping too loudly when Camila Cabello introduced U2 to the stage. A couple of years ago she was actually named "best dressed" at the Grammy's thanks to her pink Gucci power suit. Sitting on the front row watching her mother perform, she had the poise of someone five times her age. While other celebrities tend to shield their children from the public eye, Jay Z and Beyonce seem to have positively ushered their daughter towards it. PUSHING AN AGENDA They have been bringing her with them on tour and to various award shows and events at which, thanks to her stylist, she often looks more fashionable than her parents. So there's that. But if it's hard to fathom a child in a Gucci suit, try getting your head around this: At the age of seven, when most children are still harbouring fantasies of being an astronaut, or a unicorn, little Blue Ivy, it turns out, wants to be recognised as a "cultural icon". Well, I say Blue Ivy, but clearly it is her parents who are pushing this agenda. Beyonce and Jay Z have been seeking to trademark either "Blue Ivy" or "Blue Ivy Carter" for several years. The problem is that someone else has already trademarked the name. Beyonce has been involved in a trade-mark dispute for years against Wendy Morales, whose wedding planning business goes by the same name. 7 It seems to me that Beyonce and Jay Z are robbing their daughter of her childhood and suffocating her with their own aspirationsCredit: AFP or licensors Beyonce is outraged at the idea that Blue Ivy Carter, "the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world", might be confused with a boutique wedding event planning business. Which is unlikely, when you really think about it. So you might wonder why — really — Beyonce gives a flying fig about the fact that it has the same name as her daughter. But I guess — unless you are the mother of a cultural icon — it's hard for mere mortals like us to understand. Beyonce has accused Morales of riding her coattails. Who knows, maybe she is. But so what? What seems more relevant is the degree to which these parents apparently view their daughter as an extension of themselves. CARE MORE ABOUT FAME They care more about their fame and reputation than they do about letting Blue Ivy forge her own path, find her own identity and be herself. Yes, we all pass on our values and, to a degree, our aspirations to our children. But we all owe it to our kids to be aware of where we stop and they begin. And it seems to me that Beyonce and Jay Z are robbing their daughter of her childhood and suffocating her with their own aspirations. We only have to take one look around at those who haven't been allowed proper childhoods — Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin, Aaron Carter — to see how badly things can go wrong. Forget designer clothes and cultural icon status, the best thing Blue Ivy's parents could give her is a proper childhood. We all think our kids are special. Most of us do our best NOT to spoil our kids and keep them grounded, they seem to want the opposite. They need to teach her that money and status is not as important as family, values, morals, kindness — and friends. Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy covers her eyes when she sees a sexy pic of her parents at gig   Jezza is the worst of all deals THIS week I am mainly feeling fed up with politicians. I voted Remain because the chaos of leaving far outweighed any problems of staying in. 7 Crashing out with a deal isn't what really worries me - it's the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn governmentCredit: AFP But the country voted Leave and I accepted that. What's the point in asking the country to vote if the result is ignored? Three years on and we are still waiting to leave. Boris Johnson is at least trying to honour the people's decision. Jo Swinson for the Lib Debs, who is held up as a shining new light in politics, has said that if her party wins an election – most unlikely – she will cancel Brexit on the basis that on the first vote the margin for Leave was so small and people didn't know what they were voting for. But those are just excuses. She, and others, think they know best and would no doubt keep having the vote until they get the result they want – to remain in Europe. Politicians are trying to force a Remain outcome, through delays to Brexit, not calling a general election and following their own views on the EU rather than that of the country. WORRYING But crashing out without a deal is not what really worries me. It's the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn government. Here is a man who sympathises with Russia – although they came here and killed people, including poisoning a police officer. A man who sympathises with the IRA, met with Hamas and Hezbollah and refused to sing the National Anthem. A man who wants to close private schools and implement a four-day week (how would this work in the NHS, police, fire service, schools and all emergency services, let alone small businesses?). This is a man who wants to introduce a right-to-buy scheme for private tenants and force landlords to sell their buy-to-rent properties for less than they are worth, leaving them in debt – then also clobber them with higher taxes. DANGEROUS MAN He wants to nationalise industry and confiscate £300billion of shares in 7,000 large companies and hand them to workers. He is a very dangerous man. As Margaret Thatcher said, the problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money. I hope politicians knock their heads together, compromise, get out of Europe and focus on the future outside of the EU – new trade deals, new investments, jobs and innovation. This is a great country, let's hope it remains so. She's worth it I KNOW Phoebe Waller- Bridge is not for everyone – although her telly show Fleabag is pretty damned funny. But whether you like her or not, she is currently on a serious roll. 7 Phoebe Waller-Bridge's talent is incredibleCredit: The Mega Agency TV awards left, right and centre including Emmys and Baftas – and now she has just signed a £50million deal with Amazon. In my view she deserves every penny. Her talent is incredible. 7 Demi Moore was right to be furious with her then husband Ashton KutcherCredit: Getty - Contributor IN her new memoirs, Demi Moore has criticised ex-husband Ashton Kutcher for "shaming" her by sharing a picture of her in her underwear during their marriage. Apparently, he justified it at the time by saying that sharing a snap of Demi half-naked was just a "good-natured joke". Really? A load of buff and nonsense ACTOR Christopher Eccleston has revealed his lifelong battle with anorexia – which some, who think of it as a woman's affliction, may have found shocking. Meanwhile, F1's Lewis Hamilton has revealed he's not happy with his body and has clearly spent his lifetime trying to become so. 7 Christopher Ecclestone has recently opened up about his battle with anorexiaCredit: Getty - Contributor Both stories are reminders that men are becoming as fixated with their physiques as women have been all these years. Which, really, is not the kind of equality we've been fighting for all these years. What we are left with is a reality that no one – man or woman – is ever 100-per-cent happy with their looks. I most certainly am not. It's back THIS Wednesday sees the return of The Apprentice at 9pm on BBC1 . The show starts with a bang when Lord Sugar sends candidates off to South Africa to run a safari tour. When they don't know the difference between an elephant and a rhino, you know it spells disaster . . .  but in a good way. This series is the best ever, so I hope you watch it and enjoy it as much as we did making it. Tricky decision THIS week, a transgender man who gave birth but does not want to be described as "mother" on the birth certificate lost his High Court fight, prompting speculation you cannot have it both ways. Freddy McConnell, 32, from Kent, wants to be registered as "father" or "parent", despite having physically given birth to the baby – but a judge ruled against him. This is tricky, but the judge's decision has to be the right one. Despite the wonders of modern science, men cannot, yet, give birth. That's a fact. He was physically a woman when he gave birth and, although he may be legally male now, that's another issue. WHATEVER Christie Brinkley is doing, she looks fantastic for 65. As she posed in a denim jumpsuit, looking decades younger she left me thinking I would love to know what she's had done – as I would certainly do it. 7 Christine Brinkley looks incredible for 65 Comment JEREMY CLARKSON The world may be getting hotter … but having a meltdown isn't going to help Comment LEAH SINCLAIR Expecting BBC's Naga Munchetty to quietly accept racism serves no one Comment THE SUN ON SUNDAY SAYS The future of our way of life is at risk if Corbyn stops Brexit Comment JANE MOORE It's better, Greta, if kids cut back... just like us oldies did! Comment QUENTIN LETTS Judges just blew their hallowed status and are fair game for public scrutiny She obviously eats well and exercises – but she has also had surgery, which she is very honest about. Others have had it and look strange, but Christie looks fresh and youthful. Behind-the-scenes Vogue video of Beyoncé and her three children for her cover shoot

Beyonce's Lisa Bonet Halloween Costume Leaves Zoe Kravitz in Awe - Billboard Posted: 21 Sep 2019 10:04 AM PDT A new photo of Beyonce recreating Lisa Bonet's iconic 1990s bohemian-style look has left Bonet's daughter Zoe Kravitz in awe. On Friday (Sept. 20), Beyonce shared never-before-seen photos of herself over the past year on beyonce.com to celebrate recently turning 38 years old. One image shows Bey dressed up for Halloween as the former Cosby show actress, who was previously married to Lenny Kravitz. In the photo, Beyonce is seen carrying her 2-year-old twins, Sir and Rumi, while sporting a large top hat and flowy gray dress with a purple shawl -- nearly identical to an outfit Bonet wore in the '90s. The Halloween photo quickly caught the attention of Zoe, the baby Bonet was holding in the original photo alongside then-husband Lenny Kravitz. "I can't ....is @beyonce also my mom now or ?" Zoe captioned an Instagram photo showing side-by-side comparisons of Beyonce and her mother. In second post, Zoe wrote, "seriously, @beyonce ? am i your child toooo ???? ---------------- yassss." Last year, Zoe, 30, also paid tribute to her mom by recreating Bonet's nude cover shot from Rolling Stone in 1988. Zoe's photo appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone's Hot Issue in October 2018. "I've always loved that cover so much," Zoe told the publication. "When I think of Rolling Stone, that's always the image that pops into my head. It's a really striking image of her. It's beautiful."

Zoë Kravitz reacts to Beyoncé's Lisa Bonet Halloween costume - Page Six Posted: 23 Sep 2019 08:27 AM PDT Beyoncé is the queen of Halloween. The "Lion King" actress celebrated her 38th birthday month by gifting fans with a ton of personal photos from the previous year, including a never-before-seen Halloween costume. Though the masses were impressed with her spot-on tributes to Toni Braxton and athlete Florence Griffith Joyner last year, there was an even more epic series of Lisa Bonet costumes that Beyoncé never posted. The perfectly fierce range of outfits, including a top hat paired with a ripped dress as well as a black fringed crop top and pants, made the "Cosby Show" actress' daughter, Zoë Kravitz, freak out. "I can't ….is @beyonce also my mom now or ?….. 😍," the "Big Little Lies" actress, 30, captioned a side-by-side pic of her parents. Beyoncé even dressed her twins, Rumi and Sir, in patterned outfits identical to one worn by baby Kravitz. Celebrities flocked to Kravitz's comments, expressing delight on behalf of the 30-year-old. "lololololol what is happening!!!," her co-star Shailene Woodley said. Stylist Karla Welch made a bold statement: "I'd say no one, even Beyonce, can top ur mom," she wrote. The Roots' Questlove simply said, "Lucky." Other highlights from the huge photo drop on Beyonce.com included snaps from the star's trip to Sardinia, Italy, with husband Jay-Z, Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday party in November 2018 and Blue Ivy's 7th birthday party. Queen B also shared a sweet message to her fans: "Thank you from the depths of me for all my birthday loving. I had an incredible B-day!" she wrote. "I'm grateful for every breath. I thank God for all of my blessings, my wins, and my losses." She added that she would have posted earlier (her actual birthday is September 4) — but, in typical Beyoncé form, she "had work to do."
