Go Pistons!

Eek! At the beginning and middle of this season, I would never have though the Pistons would be in such a situation, but they are down 1-3 to the Heat and are great jeopardy of losing their "Eastern Conference Champion". Hopefully the return to Detroit will revive their chances in this series. I'd just like to say that Dwayne Wade and Shaq suck! (Well not really, Shaq proved that the Lakers were stupid for keeping Kobe and letting him go -- VERY STUPID!). Anyway, root for the Pistons tonight!

Al Gore is my hero!

I just wanted to dedicate a post to Al Gore, because I like him a lot and I really really wish that he won the election in 2000. Actually he did win the election, it was heinously stolen from him by this "cabal" of do-no-gooders. I think Al Gore is genuine, not at all boring (eat shit Karl Rove), and is one hell of a smart guy. In 2005, I had the pleasure of going to one of Al Gore's climate change seminar things (or whatever you call them) and found him to be engaging, passionate and a great public speaker. Given this, I cannot wait to see "An Inconvenient Truth". Anyone want to go with me?

King for short?

I do not like the name that Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani gave their new baby boy, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale. Do they call him King for short? And where did the McGregor come from? Are they fans of Ewan McGregor? Well hopefully the boy will look like Gavin Rossdale to make up for the unfortunate name!

Angie has her baby!

In response to my previous post I thought I would mention that Angelina Jolie had her baby yesterday and named her Shiloh -- Shiloh Noveul Jolie Pitt. So, my friends, what do you think of that one?

In other news, my computer is broken, must take it to get fixed if it can be -- my friend Loizos informs me that Windows needs no excuse to go kaputt! In the meantime, I feel disconnected from the world, not able to get my email and chat online as often as I would like!

If you had a kid, what would you name it?

Hollywood actors and actresses give their kids such strange names.... Which do you think is the strangest:

Coco (to Courtney Cox and David Arquette)
Apple and Moses (to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin)
Roman (to Debra Messing and who is her husband?)
Rowan and Grier (to Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy)
Matilda Rose (to Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger)
Sean Preston and ? (to Miss Britney and KFed)
Maddox and Zahara and ? (to Angie and Brad)
Rumer, Tallulah and Scout (Demi and Bruce W.)
Milo (Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon)
Finn (short for Phinneaus) and Hazel (to Julia Roberts)
Ryder (to Kate Hudson)
Suri (to Tom "I am fucking crazy" Cruise and Katie "I've been brainwashed" Holmes)

My thoughts: Coco? That's what I would name my brown puppy dog. Apple and Moses? The only reason they are not going to get made fun of is because they are frickin' rich. Roman? Like the empire? What was Debra thinking? Rowan and Grier? Rowan makes me think of the roan coat that we studied in genetics and Grier makes me think of Greer Garson... Slightly pretentious sounding, but okay I guess. Matilda? Not cool, even Roald Dahl would disapprove. Sean Preston, hmm, sounds white trash-y, but maybe that's because he was born to the trashiest couple... I think Hazel and Milo are kind of cool. Phinneaus makes me think of that book that we read in high school that was set at Exeter... what's it called again? To Miss Suri Cruise, her name is going to be the least of her problems. I just don't like Rumer, Tallulah or Scout. I would never name my kid Ryder, Maddox or Zahara, but they seem to suit their parent's style well... hopefully they will suit their kid's style as well.
