Jay-Z and Beyonc Knowles planning space song'

12th January 2012

Beyonc Knowles and Jay-Z are reportedly eager to make the first music promo in space.

The couple are renowned for their illustrious careers, but are now keen to push the boundaries some more.

According to reports, Beyonc and Jay-Z's record labels are currently enquiring about filming on one of Sir Richard Branson's famed Virgin Galactic craft. The ships are due to launch later this year and are renowned for their hefty price tag.

The craft holds six people and costs 780,000 per seat.

"The label people have been talking about making a music video in space," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "Beyonc and Jay-Z seemed the obvious option. Everything is being done to make it happen."

Beyonc and Jay-Z welcomed daughter Blue Ivy Carter into the world on Saturday. She is the pair's first child.

Fellow songstress Jennifer Hudson has offered up some words of parenting wisdom to the new mother.

"Girl, get your sleep!" she exclaimed to Us Weekly. "We talked about this when I had my munchkin. It goes so fast. She's going to look up and [Blue]'s going to be six months. Next thing you know, she's going to be walking.

"Embrace it. Especially because of the lives we live, a lot of times other people have to care for themselves and you have to have that mommy time."

Jennifer has two-year-old David Otunga, Jr. with beau David Otunga.

Meanwhile, Beyonc's sister Solange has slammed rumours circulating that her sibling used a surrogate. Other unsavoury reports have also surfaced, including that Beyonc and Jay-Z paid $1.3 million to rent out an entire hospital floor, making it difficult for other people to see their newborn babies.

Solange took to Twitter to defend her big sister.

"It has really gotten out of hand. I've been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut, but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting. We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed. It is one of The hardest things to accept," she wrote.

"In any other workplace if someone directly tells your mother or sister is a liar and a fake etc you would naturally express yourself. However, the pure happiness and joy I've witnessed and experienced helps me to keep my mouth shut ."
