Beyoncé Knowles was one of the very last to arrive at the Met Gala in NYC tonight, but she still managed to make quite the entrance! Beyoncé's postbaby body was on full display under her sexy lace Givenchy gown that pooled into a long train of vivid blueish-purple feathers. Beyoncé's light blue pedicure peeked out from under her gown, so even though she was out on the town, B still kept Blue Ivy close to her heart. Beyoncé has been rocking the nail color since giving birth to her baby girl just a few months ago. Last year, Beyoncé needed some help from husband Jay-z to get up the carpeted staircase in her tight Pucci number, while this evening she was joined by friend and Vogue's former editor at large, Andre Leon Talley. What do you think of her latest look? Vote on Fab and Bella's fashion and beauty polls,...

Though Beyonce can't always be by her little girl's side, the superstar mom always keeps Blue Ivy close to her heart! Months after Beyonce Knowles, 30, and Jay-z, 42, welcomed daughter Blue Ivy Carter January 7, the proud parents are still celebrating their new arrival. In this self-snapped photo from Beyonce's official website, the first-time mom rocks curly hair, flashes her long fingernails and debuts her newest accessory -- a gold nameplate necklace spelling out four-month-old Blue's name! If you remember, this isn't the first time Beyonce has given her little girl a shout-out. On Feb. 6, when the former Destiny's Child singer stepped out for the first of her hubby's concerts at Carnegie Hall in New York City, she showed off her blue nail polish. The next night, on Feb. 7, Bey proudly put her dazzling blue ring on display -- reportedly a "push present" from Jay-z -- which matched her blue fingers and toes!

Moms who are protesting and campaigning to destigmatize breastfeeding in public have a new face supporting their cause: Beyonce. On Saturday, the superstar mom of newborn Blue Ivy was spotted nursing at Sant Ambroeus, a cafe in NYC's West Village. She was dining with her husband Jay-z, an observer told Us Weekly. Later, she was photographed leaving the restaurant, carrying her 8-week-old in a blue BabyBjorn. And, she has also been spotted holding Blue Ivy close in a leopard print carrier.
Beyonce's move comes in the midst of a national breastfeeding movement. Though a "breast is best" mantra amplifies what the Aap reaffirmed Monday -– that mothers should exclusively breastfeed for six months, and that nursing should be considered a public heath issue rather than a lifestyle choice –- nursing moms don't often get support from the general public. In response, "nurse-ins" have become a widespread form of protest...

The producer, director, writer and cinematographer Ronald Neame, who has died aged 99, played an important role in British cinema for more than half a century. The critic Matthew Sweet once called him "a living embodiment of cinema, a sort of one-man world heritage site". Neame was assistant director to Alfred Hitchcock on Blackmail (1929), the first British talkie; he was the cinematographer on In Which We Serve (1942), Noël Coward's moving tribute to the Royal Navy during the second world war; he co-produced and co-wrote David Lean's Brief Encounter (1945) and Great Expectations (1946); and he directed Alec Guinness in two of his best roles, in The Horse's Mouth (1958) and Tunes of Glory (1960).

British director Ronald Neame has died at the age of 99 after failing to recover from a fall.
The Poseidon Adventure filmmaker passed away at a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday, his friend Peter Bowes has confirmed.
Born in London to photographer Elwin Neame and actress Ivy Close, Neame began his career in the film industry as a messenger boy at the U.K.'s famous Elstree Studios, where he first met acclaimed director Alfred Hitchcock.
He became an assistant cameraman on Hitchcock's 1929 movie Blackmail, before working as a cinematographer on 1933 musical comedy Happy.
He turned to directing in 1947 with Take My Life, and he worked with acting legend Alec Guinness on three of his films, The Card (1952), The Horse's Mouth (1958) and Tunes of Glory (1960).
But Neame will perhaps be best remembered for 1972's The Poseidon Adventure, which earned three Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Shelley Winters. The disaster movie, which also starred Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine, won in the two other categories it was nominated for - Best Song for The Song from The Poseidon Adventure, also known as The Morning After, and Special Achievement in Visual Effects.
During his lengthy career, Neame also worked with Judy Garland, Dirk Bogarde and Dame Maggie Smith, who won the Best Actress Oscar in 1969 for her role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
He is survived by his third wife Donna Friedberg, who he wed in 1993; his son Christopher, a writer/producer, from his first marriage to Beryl Heanly; and his grandson Gareth, who works as a TV producer.
