Since Beyonce gave birth to her baby girl, the name Blue Ivy has become ubiquitous. After two people applied to trademark Blue Ivy’s name for themselves, the Carter-Knowles family filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name, according to the Washington Post.

Last week, the Washington Post hinted that the stars might have received preferential treatment with their trademark application, although the Trademark Office shot down any wrongdoing. An administrator from the office reportedly told the Post that some names that are filed are typically anticipated, which arms the agency against imposters looking to cash in on quick bucks.

Further, the Post report stated that Beyoncé’s company, BGK Holdings, would hold the rights to the name. The trademark is reportedly being reserved for a series of baby-related items, such as carriages, cosmetics, accessories, and a possible fashion line. Still, the name isn’t unique to the world of business, as a Wisconsin clothing store is also named “Blue Ivy.” A pure coincidence, the store opened in early 2011.

MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. – A father who was upset after a Tennessee couple deleted his adult daughter as a friend on Facebook has been charged in the shooting deaths of the couple, authorities said Wednesday.

The victims had complained to police that Marvin Potter’s daughter was harassing them after they deleted her as a friend on the social networking site, Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece said Wednesday.

Potter, 60, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in last week’s slayings of Billy Payne Jr. and his girlfriend, Billie Jean Hayworth. The couple was shot to death in their Mountain City home in the far northeast corner of the state. Their 8-month-old baby was found unharmed in Hayworth’s arms.

“It’s a senseless thing,” the sheriff said.

Authorities have been involved other cases where Potter’s daughter, Jenelle Potter, believed she had been slighted by someone.

Marvin Potter’s friend, Jamie Curd, has also been charged in the killings. Curd, 38, had romantic feelings for Jenelle Potter, 30, the sheriff said.

Potter and Curd were arraigned Wednesday. Potter asked for time to hire an attorney while Curd was assigned a public defender who did not immediately return a phone message.

Assistant District Attorney General Matthew Roark said Curd’s initial bond was raised to $1.5 million while Roark agreed to put off a bond hearing for Potter until next week, when he is expected to have an attorney. Potter remains jailed on his initial $200,000 bond.

The victims lived with Billy Payne Sr., who was the last person to see them alive. He told detectives he saw Hayworth get up to feed the baby before he left for work at about 5:30 a.m. on Jan. 31.

The slayings were discovered about five hours later when a former neighbor stopped by to pick up mail the family would save for him.

The younger Payne was found in his bedroom, and Hayworth was found in the baby’s room.

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs did what no New England Patriots player has done so far: blast Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady’s wife, for her comments about the Patriots’ receivers.

“She just needs to continue to stay cute and shut up,” Jacobs told reporters at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.

Patriots receivers Wes Welker and Deion Branch, as well as tight end Aaron Hernandez, all dropped or had passes hit off their hands during the Pats’ final drive in their Super Bowl XLVI loss to the Giants.

“My husband cannot f—– throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,” Bundchen said in a video captured by theinsider.com.

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora thought that Bundchen should be able to say whatever she wanted to about the game.

“I mean, that is her husband,” Umenyiora said. “She is supposed to stay out of things like that, but at the end of the day that is their relationship and she has the right to say whatever she wants to.”

Brady has not commented on what his wife said.

After the game, Brady said he has plenty of confidence in Welker, who failed to pull in a pass that Welker said he catches “1,000 times.”

“Wes is a phenomenal player and a teammate,” Brady said. “I love that guy.”

she snapped back fast! more pics below

all of them are fully clothed, but they still look good! enjoy

ah ha! i wish she was a little thicker though! but i’m good with that!

how old is this dude? damn!

big meech has been really vocal lately. from talking to alley boy about jeezy not looking out, to doing the intro on gucci mane’s mixtape throwing jabs at jeezy, to know speaking out on t.i.’s behalf. i don’t know what the point of this is, but read the statement he wrote below. maybe t.i. gave him some bread. who knows

I must get straight to the point because I personally have a problem with people assassinating a real stand up dude character, namely T.I., talking about he a “SNITCH” when we are living in the information era and there is absolutely no public record of this man being a “SNITCH.”

There is no person in the Federal or State system that can say or saying that “T.I. Clifford Harris” snitched on them.

I’m tired of people spraying his name when his plea deal and sentencing transcripts is “ONLINE.” You pay $40 to get on “Pacer” and you have access to all court documents on any person in the “UNITED STATES.”

They also show you any motions or appeals that’s filed within a 48 hour period. The government would never hide the fact that T.I. is a snitch because they would want the world to know that they broke him like they broke Sammy the Bull, Nicky Barnes, Rayful Edmunds, Alpo, and Frank Lucas, who snitched on his own family members.

As far as the Ohio incident in which his friend Philant got killed, Tip was subpoenaed to court and only said a van pulled alongside and started shooting. He DID NOT see the shooter or who was shooting. From my understanding, the shooters own brother snitched on HIM.

To sum it up, I put me… “THE REAL BIG MEECH” and the whole “B.M.F.” family life on the line that “T.I. Clifford Harris” is a “100% Solid Authentic Dude.”

“Loyalty is not just a word it’s a LIFESTYLE”

With respect n’ much love,

The REAL BIG Meech
