Life &amp; Style's November issue:</p> <p><a href="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/39/2011/10/beyonce_minvan_1026.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/39/2011/10/beyonce_minvan_1026.jpg</a></p> <p>They mentioned a half-million price tag... that seems like a high estimate to me, but what do I know about high-end minivans! I do know about PR though, and I'm sure Beyonce got a huge discount! </p> <p>I wish that Beyonce's media team would set the record straight on stories like this, but she seems to have a policy of not responding to press speculation except in the most extreme circumstances. The New York tabloids have taken advantage of this to publish lots of terrible stories about her... I guess she just ignores it all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132470 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:52:35 +0000 banana 132470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DANG, I want a million dollar mini van!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132467 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:49:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 132467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>&gt;.&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132463 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:46:48 +0000 sunny 132463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that other people were trying to profit off her baby's name, which is why they were seeking some sort of legal protection. They were creating Blue Ivy baby clothing/merchandise, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132458 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:38:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 132458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee: You're right - I didn't even think about it. I was just looking at the name protection issue through my skeptical scope. I think I should have been more objective and big(ger) picture. . . on the whole, she really does seem to try to do the right thing(s). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132454 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:36:02 +0000 mrbee 132454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I think Beyonce has shown by her choices that she's not trying to profit off of her baby? She released pics of Blue Ivy over Tumblr, rather than selling them for millions to gossip magazines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132449 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:32:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 132449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RegberaDaisy: I think the best she can do is (to hope for) a trademark . . . a name doesn't meet the requirements for a patent/copyright. </p> <p>@Andrea: and actually, trying to keep the name exclusive is also a way for Beyonce to profit off her own child (assuming the name does qualify for some kind of protection) . . . </p> <p>At this point, I am kinda over Beyonce . . . I loved her as an artist, but the baby hype is just too much. What with the surrogate conspiracy and all (i have no judgment either way, but just own your choice, yo), I just don't get how this is really (continuous) national news? Initially, sure . . . but we have bigger and more important fish to fry. I realize that's true of all celebrities, . . . I digress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132437 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:15:03 +0000 mrbee 132437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Beyonce! Not her music so much, but more that she almost always takes the high road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132435 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:13:31 +0000 Andrea 132435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: i had read that one. i understand that more i suppose. there are a lot of people looking to profit off celebrities ... but then why don't the rest of the celebrities do the same? has no one else thought to do that yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132433 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:10:28 +0000 regberadaisy 132433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I just read that she put a patent on her baby's name! Like really?!?! On the one hand I think it's pretty smart bc you know some people will copy it. But then it's like really?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132431 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:07:20 +0000 Andrea 132431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is news to me! Ugh, I think Beyonce and Jay Z are so obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beyonces-million-dollar-mini-van#post-132425 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:52:46 +0000 BSB 132425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this might be old news but I just saw pics of Beyonce's million dollar mini van. It's a customized Mercedes van with a cost of over 1 million bucks!</p> <p>It has a full bathroom and shower.</p> <p>Google it! Wow!</p> <p>I can find pics of what the seats look like but I can't seem to find pics of where the bathroom is. I want to see this bathroom.</p> <p>Has anyone in NYC seen the van? </p>
