Beyonces controversial delivery was investigated by NY Health Dept.

I don’t really want to talk about the scandals and conspiracies involved with Beyonce’s (real or alleged) delivery of baby Blue Ivy at Lenox Hill Hospital. And yet… there are still tons of stories, and the scandal keeps growing by the day. After reports of multiple “peasant” parents being denied access to the prenatal unit at Lenox Hill – and denied access to their own newborn children while Beyonce and Jay were in the house – reports now indicate that the situation around baby Blue’s birth is being investigated by the New York City Health Department. (UPDATE: TMZ reports that the investigation is over? O RLY?) Plus, the hospital is conducted their own in-house review of everything that went down. What will they find? Will they find that Beyonce and Jay spread around more than $1 million within the hospital to keep everyone quiet? Or will they find that Bey and Jay shelled out a large chunk of change for a temporary remodel of eight hospital rooms? That’s what Us Weekly claims:

Sweet suites! To prep for the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce and Jay-Z didn’t just build a deluxe nursery at their Tribeca home — they had two private, over-the-top suites built at NYCs Lenox Hill Hospital for the express purpose of Blue’s arrival.

“A month ago, [workers] tore down 6-8 rooms and turned them into 2 suites,” a Lenox Hill Hospital source tells Us Weekly. Beyonce, 30, and husband Jay-Z, 42, “paid to have it constructed just for them.”

Featuring “mahogany walls” and other posh accents, the “amazing” suites sat empty for about a month until Blue Ivy’s Jan. 7 birth. “You’d want to live in there!” the hospital source gushes.

Officials for the hospital shot down rumors that the superstar couple caused turmoil at the hospital — and that some patients and families were temporarily denied access to the NICU to accommodate the VIPs on the premises.

No word yet on what’s to become of the suites now that Beyonce and Blue have departed.

Now that little Blue Ivy is at home at her parents’ palatial Tribeca home, she’ll kick back a $3,5000 NurseryWorks VETRO Lucite crib.

Dear God. How f–king wasteful! They tore apart six to eight perfectly adequate rooms so that Blue Ivy could enter the world in her own VIP suite? And no one was allowed in there for a month? How does the hospital justify this kind of thing to its board? If it was just about sprucing up an existing suite or something, it would be a meh story. But taken with the stories of Bey and Jay’s complete disregard for all of the “peasants” in the hospital, and now the idea that part of the prenatal wing was under construction just for THE BIRTH OF A PILLOW, the whole thing is just insane. TMZ has photos of the VIP birthing suite that Bey and Jay had constructed – you can see it here. TMZ says it includes “4 flat screen TV’s, state of the art electronics, a kitchenette, nice art, mahogany walls and plush furnishings.” Sources tell TMZ, “the suite was not constructed specifically for Beyonce, but it was always intended that Beyonce would be the first patient to use it.” WTF?

Anyway, there are even more Blue Ivy stories. She’s already the biggest little princess ever. Even the eventual child of Duchess Kate and Prince William will not roll in the kind of luxury that Blue Ivy is getting. This is what has been allegedly stacked up for Blue – the list is worth more than $1.5 million, and includes:

*A “fantasy” crib fit for Cinderella – a coach-like crib from PoshTots, for which her her parents paid nearly $20,000.

*A solid-gold, handmade horse from Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka that Jay-Z bought for $600,000. (This has been denied in some outlets.)

*A $15,000 highchair dripping with Swarovski crystals.

*A $285 Jean-Paul Gaultier dress.

*A $30,000 windmill playhouse.

*A trunk full of children’s books, a present from Oprah.

I can’t even. You know she’s just going to be pooping, sleeping and nursing for the first three months or so, right?

These are all photos from a trip Bey and Jay took to Paris in late April of last year. Bey would have been almost two months along in her pregnancy. Maybe that was why her face looked so jacked?
