Peek-a-boo! Blue Ivy Carter made her first public appearance with her parents in New York City on Saturday (Feb. 25). The barely two-month-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who showed her adorable face to the world earlier this month, was cradled by her mother as the famous family stepped out for lunch at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village.
The superstar couple made a quick exit from their Mercedes-Benz van into the Italian restaurant. A protective B played it low key in round sunglasses, an oversized jacket, and sneakers while covering baby Blue with a black blanket to shield her from the paparazzi. Proud papa Jay kept a close eye on his wife and child as bodyguards surrounded the vehicle.

CASH MONEY SIGNS LIMP BIZKIT, WORKING WITH ASHANTI
The Young Money-Cash Money family is getting bigger by the day. Fresh off signing Christina Milian, the famed hip-hop label has added Limp Bizkit to its roster and is possibly working with Ashanti.
Lil Wayne called into “Kissing After Dark” on New York’s 98.7 Kiss FM, the R&B radio station he listened to while serving time at Rikers Island in 2010, where he announced the rock band’s affiliation with Cash Money Records.
“As far as Cash Money, they’re always listening and looking at acts, so honestly, it’s like every other day I hear about somebody new just signed to Cash Money,” Weezy told host Lenny Green. “The other day I just found out Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money. So they’re signing everybody and everybody’s getting a chance.”
Frontman Fred Durst confirmed the news on Twitter. “Rock shit doesn’t rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop so I’m back in this ho! #CMLB,” he tweeted.
The Young Money CEO also dropped another bombshell, revealing that Ashanti may be getting down with the YMCMB camp. “I don’t wanna step across any boundaries, but I think we’re working with Ashanti right now,” he shared.
Ashanti launched her own label Written Entertainment last year and is currently promoting her single “The Woman You Love” featuring Cash Money signee Busta Rhymes.

Conrad Murray Denied Bail Application
The avalanche of woes befalling late pop star Michael Jackson’s personal physician, Conrad Murray, appears unceasing as his application for bail pending the hearing of his appeal against the manslaughter conviction in the death of the late singer was recently denied.
By this development, Dr. Conrad Murray is to remain behind bars while his lawyers appeal his case. Judge Michael Pastor, while ruling on the bail application opined that Murray was still considered a danger to society considering his apparent non-remorse at his unethical practice leading to the death of the ‘King of Pop’.
Judge Pastor, who handed the doctor a 4 year jail term in November 2011 in a highly publicized trial, stated that ‘it scares me that Murray believes it’s okay to use Propofol in a home setting’, insisting he was still a real danger to the safety of other people if released.
However Murray’s appellate attorney Valerie Wass believes her client is a scapegoat who is being blamed for Michael Jackson’s death because there’s no one else to target.
Murray had previously filed a motion asking for bail so he could spend time with his family while he awaits the outcome of his appeal.

Mandela In Stable Condition After Surgery
Former president of the republic of South Africa, Nelson Mandela is reportedly in stable condition after undergoing a surgery on the night of February 24, 2012.
Mr Mandela was rushed to hospital after initial complaints of long-standing abdominal pains, which needed ‘proper specialist medical attention’.
A government spokesman said the former leader was ‘in good spirits and well’.
I can assure you that the former president is in good spirits and well,’ said Mac Maharaj, a spokesman for South Africa president, Jacob Zuma.
He revealed that further information would be released once Mr Zuma and the Mandela family received a full medical report from doctors, but that the former president’s life was not in danger.
‘This was a long-standing complaint – nothing that cropped up suddenly and needed emergency attention‘, said Mr Maharaj, who was in prison in Robben Island with Mr Mandela.
‘But it is an issue that the doctors treating him felt needed specialist attention, and so arrangements were made accordingly‘.
The 93-year-old statesman and anti-apartheid icon has suffered declining health in recent years.
In a statement, President Jacob Zuma’s office said the ‘love and good wishes of all South Africans and people throughout the world’ were with Mr Mandela, and asked for his family to be given privacy
Mandela recently returned to Johannesburg from his rural home in the Eastern Cape and in January last year, he received treatment in the city’s Milpark Hospital for a serious chest infection.
The ‘Madiba’, as he is fondly called by South Africans, retired from public life eight years ago – his last public appearance was at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010

Rick Ross is having the best week ever. After Timbaland hailed him the “reincarnated B.I.G.,” MTV News has ranked the Teflon Don #1 on its seventh annual “Hottest MCs in the Game” list.
“His impact is irrefutable: Even without a solo album, he maintained a healthy and consistent buzz throughout the year, notching a #1 rap album with his Self Made compilation,” explained MTV News’ Hip-Hop Brain Trust, who selected the lyricists based on a combination of rhyme skill, flow, buzz, commercial success, business ventures, web presence, and cultural influence.
Drake takes the runner-up spot and Kanye West finishes third. Other rappers making the cut include Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Nicki Minaj, who is the sole female on the list for a second year in a row. The Bawse’s Maybach Music Group signees Wale and Meek Mill also earn spots in the top 10.
One of the most noticeable omissions is J. Cole, who is fresh off his Grammy nomination and the success of his debut Cole World and hit singles “Work Out” and “Can’t Get Enough.”

BOBBY BROWN EXPLAINS WHY HE LEFT WHITNEY HOUSTON’S FUNERAL
While most will remember a lovely tribute to Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown will carry a different memory. The ex-husband of the pop icon departed early from the funeral service in Newark, New Jersey, after bringing a large group of guests with him. The New Edition singer arrived at the New Hope Baptist Church to pay his respects to his former wife and became visibly upset when he was told by security that everyone in his party could not be seated. He walked out of the church and later released a statement.
“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina.
In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”
