You know I am not a big fan of the wedding and baby and everything else stories, but sometimes like this past weekend there are enough of them where you can combine it all into one post and get it over with quickly. Kind of like pulling a band aid off your very hair body. Yeah, this is exactly why I will never wax. I fully believe all my chest and back hair was put here for a reason and I hope it is because at some point science will be able to transplant it all to my head and have it actually stick. I have tried to glue it, but it is not exactly the same.
So, this weekend, Hilary Duff announced she is pregnant. Well, considering her career has stalled, if not fallen into a nose dive, at least this got her some attention. Pay attention Miley Cyrus. Tween Queens need to figure out a way to make money beyond their teens or make that money you earned last a very long time. Oh, or marry a rich Canadian dude who plays mediocre hockey but has a ton of family money. The couple made the announcement on their first anniversary. Double congratulations then.
Tara Reid finally found a guy desperate enough or drunk enough to marry her. I'm guessing the Danish businessman can't believe he got an actress from American Pie movies to marry him. Well, reality will set in fast and there is no way this marriage lasts a year. None. They got engaged several hours before they got married. She had just finished Tweeting she got engaged when she said she loved being a wife. Well, when the booze and whatever else wears off, so will the marriage.
Joy Behar of The View married the guy she has been dating for like 30 years. That is great news.
Also getting married from The View was Sherri Shepherd who got married to her longtime boyfriend in Chicago. Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Niecy Nash were bridesmaids. 
Brooke Burke and David Charvet got married because they were the only two people on earth beautiful enough for each other. They plan to have super babies soon.
Jessica Alba had a baby in what seems record time. She named her baby with Cash Warren, Haven Garner Warren. Apparently they wanted to name her Heaven, but neither could figure out how to spell it. I cannot figure out the Garner part. Crush on Jennifer Garner for Cash or crush on James Garner for Jessica? Maybe they are just a fan of The Rockford Files.
don't brooke burke and david charvet already have kids together?
ReplyDeleteThe only marriage I see lasting out of this whole bunch is Joy's.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe Sherri's, depending on how long she and her man have been together. But 30 years? Yeah. I think those crazy kids are gonna be juuuuuuuust fine.
I hope that, unlike Honor, this daughter resembles Jessica more than Cash. There. I said it. And oddly, I *just* met a little girl named Haven, so it's not all THAT weird. I think it's tacky when siblings have names that begin with the same letter, though. It's a little Kardashianeqsue, right?
Sidenote: I fully expect your daily Kardashian rant at any time, Enty. ;-)
Brooke & David already have 2 babies together.
ReplyDelete@dj -- I believe they do. More than one. And they're all named Glorious Peony and Rainbow Quartz and Diaphonous Heaven or some shit.
ReplyDeleteThey ARE cute, though.
I think they have three kids together and she has one from a previous marriage.
ReplyDeleteNo love for Tina Fey's kid? Damn, and that one is going to be the funniest of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @Ida - i spit my watermelon out reading your names!!!
ReplyDelete@lilevonschtupp -- Seriously!! And her name is AWESOME: Penelope Athena.
ReplyDeleteATHENA. I cannot get over what a rad middle name that is.
I'm curious as to why Joy ran off and got married on the Thurs just before Sherri's wedding. What's the hurry - it's already been decades. Someone ill and they were in a hurry to make it legal?
ReplyDelete@dj -- It wouldn't shock me at all if they had another kid NAMED Watermelon. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the name Haven. And I usually don't favor less than traditional names. (my own isn't terribly traditional but was very trendy in the late 60's) My three girls have very old fashioned names. Doubtless they will stick out like sore thumbs when they start school. The eldest is only just now becoming ok with her name.
ReplyDeleteIda, I'm right there with you on finding it tacky when people name their kids with the same letter of the alphabet, too. In fact, I was JUST thinking about that whole trend this weekend, so, very funny you should mention it. I was beginning to believe that I was the only one probably out there who felt that way since I'm noticing it become a more popular trend. (I work with payroll and health care benefits, so I get to see the names of our employees kids and there is a good deal of that crap going on out there...)
ReplyDeleteI used to work with someone years ago where the husband and the wife each had a first name that was spelled MAR and then when they had their kids, they made a point of their names starting with those first three letters, too. Kind of cute, but more annoying. They probably all wear matching shirts on vacation and in family holiday photos, right?
I should clarify that their names began with the letters MAR...
ReplyDelete@M -- Ooooh! Let me guess -- the parents were named Martin and Martha, and their children were as follows: Martina, Marcel, Marissa, Marina, Mariska (if they're big SVU fans), and Martika (after the eighties pop star, which would actually be awesome).
ReplyDeleteAnything that matchy-matchy makes me want to hork. They have GOT to have the most annoying Christmas Card in history too, I'll bet.
In Joy's case, more like 30 years of "shtupping" than "dating" I imagine
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that the reason Joy suddenly decided to get married was in support of New York allowing EVERYONE to get married.
ReplyDeleteENTy, what about TINA FEY'S BABY? My god, she's the most worthy of mention of all of these people! Who gives a fuck if that worthless whore Bwooke Book (that's how I hear it when she pronounces her own name) tricked another moron into marrying her?
ReplyDeleteYou are going to do a separate post on Tina Fey having her baby, right? That's the only reason I can think of that you would leave her out of this grouping.
ReplyDeleteFor a post full of news, it's all just so boring! (no offense Enty)
ReplyDeleteI just came on here to say that Hilary Duff's (best disney name evah btw) dude has what looks like thinner eyebrows than me and what can only be described as a odd looking face. He definitely has that Rihanna/Tyra Banks/Nic Kidman forehead, no?
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Sherri Shephard is one of the stupidest people on tv right now, the fact that she is allowed to dole out her opinions and worse that some people may listen to them and look up to her is appalling to me.
I, too, love Tina Fey's baby names. Alice and Penelope. ADORABLE. It should be the title of a book about two girls who go on a sweet, action packed adventure, and are not afraid of ANYTHING.
ReplyDeleteMy parents liked the "same letter name"-thing. I am Maja, and my little sister is Matilda.
I also kind of like "Haven"...it beats "Honor", that's for sure.
I don't care for Sherri Shepherd on The View, but as Tracy Jordan's wife on The Rock...she's pretty awesome. "Ham!"
ReplyDelete@Maja -- if there are only two of you, then it's excusable. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd as an Aussiephile (?), I LOVE the name Matilda and heartily endorse it!
Tara never announced where she plans to celebrate her honeymoon but I'm guessing it will be somewhere in the vicinity of several heavily stocked liquor stores. Or Lindsay Lohan's house. Same thing.
ReplyDeleteTara can wed as long as she doesn't breed. That kid will have vodka for blood.
ReplyDeletePenelope is a Greek name and Tina Fey is half Greek. Makes sense. I could never see Tina naming her kid something like "Tiffany", "Brittany" or *ugh* "Nevaeh".
"Haven"? Isn't that Angelina's brother's middle name?
My parents were into the family names. I'm named after my maternal great-great grandmother and great-grandmother. Hated it growing up but now I don't mind.
I don't watch The View so I'm not familiar with Sherri Shepherd but the fact that Elisabeth Hasselbeck was a bridesmaid says a lot.
It was a BIG weekend for babies and weddings. Maybe it was the full moon because babies were popping out everywhere. Even athletes were having kids.
ReplyDelete@Mango-
ReplyDeleteYour great-great-grandmother was named MANGO???
:-P
"Mango...my Mango!"
ReplyDelete@Mary Anne: You're right! The full moon was on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at silly Tara's tweets about marriage and her "loving" being a wife after a few hours. *SNORT*
ReplyDeleteI found it odd that 2 The View hosts got married this weekend.
i know a family that does the MAR thing. the kids are mark, marshall and marcy. marcy is a TERROR.
ReplyDeleteanyway, i don't think its tacky to use the same first letter for all the kids, but i think its stupid, cutsey and lame. seems like people who name their first kid with J name have great difficulity not continuing with the j's. look at the duggar's. one of the kids is named jinger. really??? when thats the best you can do; its time for a different letter.
My dad, mom and I all have names that start with J, but my brother is an N. When we were kids I always told him it was because they didn't really think of him as part of the family, lol.
ReplyDeleteOur family all had different names, but 4 of us were named after other people, the 1st one was not named after anyone.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the C names, but I do mind the C names where they make shit up by using a letter. Like Charlie and Casadena.
