It looks like Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter, Billboard-record-breaking Blue Ivy Carter, is going to be set for several lifetimes, because the proud parents have named none other than Oprah Winfrey as the child's godmother. That's right, two of music's biggest stars and one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful women will be looking after baby Carter. We can only imagine the kind of gifts this kid's going to receive.

UPDATE: Gayle King says the rumor is false. She told CBS:

"It's absolutely not true that she's the godmother. She's friends with them, of course, and likes them both very much. She's working on sending them a baby gift. She hasn't even had time to send a baby gift because she's been away. Let me just say, if (that report is) true, it is news to her. It is news to her. You know, she was heading to South Africa when the baby was born."
