New parents Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally broken their silence on the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter!

The music moguls released a statement on Monday, after welcoming baby Blue two days earlier at the Lenox Hill Hospital, in NYC. Bey also took the time to dispel rumors that her baby was born via C-section, confirming she chose to have a "natural" birth.

The couple said in a statement on Jay-Z's Life and Times website:

"Hello Hello Baby Blue! We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012. Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."

After the birth of his daughter, Jay-Z immediately hit the studio to record a new track, "Glory," which reveals, for the first time, the couple's struggle to conceive, and the happiness they feel after finally having a baby.

The track also features the two-day-old little girl crying in the background, which could be considered her first musical recording! No doubt Blue Ivy Carter will grow up to be a superstar.

Congrats Bey and Jay!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner went to a doctor's appointment in Santa Monica on Monday, and the two looked quite lovey dovey as photographers snapped their picture!

Back in early November, Jennifer revealed that she had four more months until her due date, but given the size of her bump, we can't believe she has another two months to go! Either she's throwing us off with her delivery date like Beyonce did (remember, B told an Aussie news outlet that she wasn't due until February!) or she's expecting twins!

But where was Max? And come to think of it, where was her other boy, 24-year-old Casper Smart?

Jennifer Lopez was spotted out and about in Calabasas this afternoon with her darling daughter Emme, and the singer/actress kept it comfy and casual in Uggs and sweatpants. But hey, when you look that good at 42, we think you're allowed to take a break from the heels, sequins and bandage dresses!

After partying it up with Casper in Miami for New Year's Eve, it seems like J. Lo is back in work mode, as she made an appearance at the Fox TCAs in Pasadena last night. While she's secured her role as a judge on American Idol, it seems like her co-wrorker Ryan Seacrest's future with the show may be up in the air.

Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly told reporters, “It’s a tough negotiation and one that will come to conclusion, I think, pretty quickly." Seacrest is not under contract after this season, and there are rumblings that NBC is considering sticking him on The Today Show in the event that Matt Lauer decides to leave. As you know, E! is owned by NBC Universal, so it seems like Fox may not have a say over this one.

Kim Kardashian is sending a special birthday message across the pond to Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton ... who turns the big 3-0 today!

However, the 31-year-old reality star, wearing a low cut animal print blouse, didn't waste an opportunity to plug one of the products she represents in the process.

After the brief b-day message, Ms. Kardashian just so happened to mention a special ShoeDazzle offer involving a new heel called "The Duchess."

Such a business savvy kind person!

Now that Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby girl Blue Ivy Carter has arrived, Lenox Hill Hospital in New York is clearing the air about "inaccurate media reports regarding the presence of the Carter family at the hospital."

In a statement, the hospital writes:

"Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports. The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family."

Various online reports claimed hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and also that employees working in the maternity ward were required to turn over cell phones when they clocked in.

The statement went on to say:

"The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days. No security plan that we or the Carters' security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU."

Jay-Z and Beyonce released a statement on Monday saying baby Blue Ivy "was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."

Seems as though Katie Holmes finds dancing therapeutic!

Tom Cruise's wifey was in a great mood while leaving her dance class in Hollywood.

Over the past month, Suri's mom has been hitting her Hollywood rehearsal studio hard and really working up a sweat! After seeing her on the dance floor, there's no doubt in our minds that the Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark actress is flexible!

Katie has been heavily involved with dance for years and is the co-founder of the Dizzy Feet Foundation which encourages the advancement of dance in children.

Over the weekend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend Erin Heatherton were photographed out and about in Hollywood, and it looks like they had a blast hitting the town.

Not only did Leo let Erin drive his black Lexus for the evening, but it sounds like things are getting serious between the two. It was recently reported that Leo has already introduced Erin to his mother Irmelin, and a source told the New York Post, "The meeting went well and [mom] and Erin were seen laughing. Leo and Erin seemed really happy."

Rosie and Erin have been friends for years, and in a recent interview Erin revealed that Jason Statham's main squeeze is one of her "best friends in the world." Aww!

A judge has granted Kirsten Dunst an extended restraining order against Jean Christophe Prudhon, whom the actress claims has been stalking her.

Prudhon, 51, is from France, but he allegedly traveled to Los Angeles on several occasions and sat outside of Dunst's home in his car.

Additionally, Dunst has accused Prudhon of making hundreds of phone calls and writing letters to her, and she even claims he harassed her mother, who is also included in the restraining order.

Prudhon is required to stay at least 100 yards away from Dunst for the next three years.
