Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on January 26 to protect baby Blue Ivy Carter's name, according to the Washington Post. The superstar parents want to reserve it for a future line of baby carriages, baby cosmetics, and diaper bags.

While this all seems a bit ridiculous, several individuals have already submitted their own applications for the name! Fashion designer Joseph Mbeh requested “Blue Ivy Carter NYC” just four days after the baby was born, and another applicant filed on January 20 for “Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV” to use for a line of fragrances. The trademark office has denied both applications, stating that the name belonged to a “very famous infant ” and consumers may falsely assume that the products were approved by the celebrity parents.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's application is still pending, but sources say it's a done deal because the couple are legally authorized to trademark the names of their children.

And speaking of baby products, Gwyneth Paltrow recently bought the tiny celebritot an $880 Bugaboo baby stroller. Think B will actually use it when she pushes her little one around town?

Oops!

Yesterday Nia Long was spotted leaving the gym, and the actress wasn't prepared to run into a pack of photographers -- or to have them snap a picture of her camel toe! Of course, Nia was a great sport about the whole thing, laughing off the incident as she pulled her shirt down to cover up her wardrobe malfunction.

Last night George Clooney chatted with New York Times journalist David Carr at a TimesTalks Q&A session at the SilverScreen Theater in West Hollywood, and 50-year-old discussed his Oscar-nominated film, The Descendants.

But the highlight of the session, with moderator and Descendants director Alexander Payne, was Payne's lack of knowledge where classic film is concerned. The American Cinematheque put together a highlights reel of some related, classic family dramas to introduce the pair's film, and Payne admitted he saw Kramer vs. Kramer for the first time a year ago and that he'd never seen Ordinary People.

Clooney redeemed the evening, however, displaying his knowledge of these classics and commenting on his love of Dustin Hoffman's french toast-making scene in Kramer. He also said that seeing Timothy Hutton's work in Ordinary People when he was 19 years old, was the first time he seriously considered a career in acting.

George is nominated for a Best Actor award, and the film is also in the running for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Achievement in Film Editing. Think George will beat out pal Brad Pitt for the actor category? We'll find out on February 26!

Lady Gaga attended the "It's Our Turn" conference at a Los Angeles high school yesterday, and the pop star chatted with host Maria Shriver and dozens of young women about everything from being bullied to her battle with bulimia.

Gaga told the audience, "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I’m not that confident. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night. I used to come home and say, ‘Dad, why do you always give us this food? I need to be thin.’ And he’d say, ‘Eat your spaghetti.’ It’s really hard, but you’ve got to talk to somebody about it." Gaga added, "It made my voice bad, so I had to stop. The acid on your vocal chords — it’s very bad."

The Grammy winner continued, "Weight is still a struggle. Every video I’m in, every magazine cover, they stretch you - they make you perfect. It’s not real life. I’m gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it’s affecting kids your age. And it’s making girls sick."

As for being bullied, Gaga said, "I started having trouble with girls in middle school. I always knew that I wanted to do something very career oriented, and I always wanted to be a musician. That alone set me apart. I had such strong convictions and I was pretty delusional, in the same way that I am now … in wanting to change the world and end bullying in America and do whatever I can to promote peace around the world. It might sound kind of silly coming from someone in red lipstick with a bunch of jewels on my jacket. But that’s just the way I have always been. Being excluded is painful."
