We can only guess that trademarking the name Blue Ivy will have repercussions among other celebrity parents. We foresee more celebrities choosing ever more distinctive names for their children, to strengthen their case for trademark protection.

So, recently one evening I received a call from a well known New York daily publication, asking if I could comment on Beyoncé's new album cover. They told me it was for a feature they were doing, I am going to recap the interview for you.

The more "talent" shows we get each season, the less "talented" is each slate of competitors forced upon our screens, airwaves and eardrums. We are spreading our talent too thinly across too many shows and it's doing long-lasting damage to the genre.

The more people need things to be personal to them in order for them to do "the right thing" -- whatever that is -- the more skewed our world is.

There's a line in Jay-Z's beautiful new song "Glory," that he dedicated to his newborn daughter, Blue Ivy, that changed the way I look at him. It takes a real man to rap about a miscarriage.

The recent firestorm regarding Beyonce's promotional imagery leaves me baffled. The entire hubbub about Mrs. Knowles-Carter and her whitetification seems misplaced, especially in the Post Michael Jackson Era.

Jay-Z is not the first man to realize he has been a misogynistic jerk only after he has a daughter. Scientists have found examples of others.

One of the most important pieces of the entire puzzle is red carpet fashions and who better to ask about this than couture designer Randi Rahm, who first opened her successful Fifth Avenue atelier 14 years ago.

She's not even a week old, so the newborn daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z doesn't have a past yet -- except in the genealogical sense.

People angry at Kim Novak are missing the point. When someone reports a rape you're supposed to grab a pitch fork and attack. That's it. Don't think. Don't analyze. Just get a lynch mob together and go after the rapist, stupid.

The Christmas story sounds imaginary. Mary became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Unbelievable. If it wasn't for Jesus. With Jesus the unbelievable becomes believable. The impossible becomes possible. God does what no one else can do.

I'll be tuning in to see if Rick Perry wakes up in Vegas, Michele Bachmann has a "Las Vegas Turnaround," Mitt Romney breaks a sweat, or Herman Cain performs a big "9-9-9" production number at the Venetian.

I'm not certain there is enough of this kind of uplifting music swirling through the airwaves, so I offer this playlist. Each is a masterpiece that delights in some aspect of femininity; each encourages an honest and joyful reveling in one's spirit.

Pop dominance has assured a lot of things for the Jamaica native -- among them -- random acts of awkwardness. When asked if he sings and dances literally to the beat of his own drum, the singer admitted wholeheartedly -- yes: "It's kind of whack."

She's got Elizabeth Taylor eyes, an I Love Lucy madcap spirit and a voice that'll melt hearts and minds. What's not to like about Zooey Deschanel?

Fans of hip-hop will finally have two high-profile role models who are having a child within a committed, financially stable relationship, and not just a relationship, a marriage.
