Jay-Z wasn't sure if he was "gonna make it through" singing his new track Glory, a song dedicated to his baby girl Blue Ivy.

After performing the song for the crowd at Carnegie Hall in NYC Monday night, he told them that singing it was "tough" getting through that.

Wanna see him perform it? Watch above!

Hubby Bestie Gayle King debunked the rumors that Oprah is the godmother of baby Blue Ivy.

Gayle appeared on CBS Morning News today and claimed the news was "absolutely not true."

Awww...is someone a bit jelly?

Oprah's pal did say the talk show host is planning on sending Bey and Jay a baby gift but hasn't had time since she in India.

Sad. Oprah would've made a great god-mama!

Billboard has released the 2012 Power 100 list, which ranks the 100 most powerful people in the music industry, and it reveals that times are changing!

No longer are the record labels in control, instead power is shifting to the artists, their managers, and the people who book them.

One top entertainment attorney who was consulted to create the list said:

Hallelujah!!

Blue Ivy Carter has a godmother! And it's Oprah!

Oh boy, this little girl is sure gonna live a charmed life.

Reports are surfacing that Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally picked a godmother for their little chosen one.

Since the couple has grown close to Oprah over the past few years, it's natural that they've chosen the legendary Mz. Winfrey to be Blue Ivy's godmother. She's basically this generation's princess, so why not, right?

Jay-Z's pal Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith has been chosen as her godfather since they wanted to make sure that the godparents weren't blood-related.

Well, gee, as if we didn't think Blue Ivy was spoiled enough, now we learn that her second parent in command will be the most powerful woman on earth.

We all can agree that little Miss Blue will never have to work a day in her life, right??

It was some pretty bad timing for Jay-Z's 40/40 Club when the health inspector came moments after a fridge's motor died.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene cited the club for several health code violations, several of which were about food being stored at the wrong temperatures.

But a rep for the club said that it was all because of that fridge motor that blew right before the inspector arrived. He said the staff never actually intended to serve any of the food from that fridge to customers.

He said the fridge was promptly fixed and the club reopened a day later.

Their health code grade is currently under review.

Maybe if Jay was spending less time with his new daughter and more time doing refrigerator maintenance, he wouldn't have these sort of troubles.

We are OBVIOUSLY joking, btw.

Big Papa is in the house!

Last night, Jay-Z made his first public appearance since becoming a daddy at the grand re-opening of 40/40, his NYC club. He flew solo for the evening, with Beyonce and little Blue Ivy staying safe and sound at her "executive suite" at Lenox Hill Hospital, but he was happy to chat briefly with the throngs of reporters and photographers on the red carpet about his little family.

He happily thanked everyone for their well wishes and invited them into his club with a huge smile. He was spotted shaking hands and accepting everyone's congratulations while partying with the likes of Ashanti, Russell Simmons, Swizz Beatz and Selita Ebanks. He was also seen doing the classic Dad move of showing everyone who wanted to see pictures of his new baby girl on his phone to friends, "beaming" from ear to ear the whole time!

Such an exciting time in his life! We're so thrilled for him!

Send our love to Bey and the Bey-by!

It's gonna take a lot more than the birth of his baby girl to get Jay-Z to stop saying "bitch!"

There have been rumors floating around that Beyonce's baby daddy was inspired by his daughter Blue Ivy Carter to stop referring to women as "bitches" in his songs.

But alas, he plans he still plans on call'n bitches bitches.

Questo from The Roots tweeted a message from papa Jay to the world, to clear up any confusion. He wrote:

this just in: @S_C_ [Jay-Z] to me:
"B*aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatch!!!!!!!! and tweet that.

Guess that settles that. LOL!

HA!!

Jimmy Kimmel "found" a version of the song that Jay-Z wrote for his newborn that features the baby crying AND a snippet of audio of Beyonce giving birth! LOL!

Wish this was the real song!
