Why Celebrities Suck
Forgive me if I'm in a mood, but I just read Beyonce spent $1.3 million to redecorate and close off her birthing area at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City over the weekend. The redecorating included installing bulletproof glass and a security team. And while it's nice to hear her delivery went well, it's hurtful to read about a man who could not get access to his premature born twins in the neonatal-intensive care unit because of tight security around the celebrity couple's floor.
This guy's family, who were worried and waiting on the same floor, were cleared out by the same security team.
Please.
The royal celebrity couple had options. In fact, there are a number of very pricey, and very private, options for the very rich to have their little bundles of joy. Examples:
Mount Sinai Hospital just up the street from Queen Beyonce and King Jay-Z offers patients multi-room suites with Italian tiled bathrooms, three-course catered meals, massages and manicures with great views of Central Park for ony $4,000 a night.
On the West Coast, celebrities like Victoria Beckham can duck into Cedars-Sinai's birthing center complete with a two-bath suite, hardwood floors, elegant bedding, drapes and recessed lighting. All this and more for only $3,784 a night.
If you go into labor in Victoria, Australia, you may want to quickly get to Waverly Private hospital where you'll get a large, in-room flat screen TV, dining table, custom made feeding chairs and a specialized menu that includes wine and beer with meals.
The Prince of Wales Private Hospital in Sydney offers a five-star birthing experience that provides 300-thread count sheets, limousine ride to the hospital and an ocean view suite.
Bringing it back home, Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut is proud of their "Tender Beginnings" maternity program which offers mom a massage, deluxe robe, gift basket stuffed with bath products, and a gourmet champagne dinner prepared by a team of chefs.
Or, just wave $1.3 million in front of any public hospital and they'll do whatever you want.
