Top 10+ Weirdest Celebrity Baby Names

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

It seems to be an unwritten lawn that as a celebrity you must stand out. As if fame isn’t enough, you have got to wear the most eccentric and expensive things out there, cause wild scandals, and give your kid the weirdest name in history. Names like Jenny, Jim, Anne, John, are just to common. After you’ve looked at these baby names you will be glad you weren’t born as their kid.

10. Kal-El

Child of: Nicolas Cage

Its obvious that he likes Superman…

9. Fifi Trixibelle

Child of: Bob Geldof and Paula Yates

Imagine that name in the work place. “Ms. Trixibelle would like that report now.” How is anyone going to take that seriously. She better grow up to be a princess with a name like that.

8. Apple

Child of: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

What are they going to name their next kid, Banana?

7. Sage Moonblood

Child of: Sylvester Stallone

Look at the parent and you have your answer…

6. Prince Michael II/Blanket

Child of: Michael Jackson

‘Prince’ that is a little odd. ‘Michael II’ is totally acceptable, but /Blanket…I mean WHAT? Unfortunately we will never get the story behind that name.

5. Rocket Rodriguez

Child of: Robert Rodriguez

Well we knows what is in his future. With a name like that their really is only one real profession for you.

4. Moxie Crimefighter

Child of: Penn Jillette

Their theory was that you never really use the middle name so why not make it fun. Yeah, but what about ‘Moxie’? It sounds like a cat who attacks you socks.

3. Tu Morrow

Child of: Rob Morrow (from the TV show Numb3rs)

This is just a terrible pun. Why not ‘Mary Christmas’ or ‘Hal O’wean’. Imagine saying “Good morning Tu Morrow…”

2. Audio Science

Child of: Actress Shannyn Sossamon

Isn’t that a band?

1. Pilot Inspector

Child of: Jason Lee

Honestly, I am at a loss for words. But hey Jason Lee is funny, now his kid at least has a funny name.

0. Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin

Child of: Frank Zappa

He named his other kids Dweezil and Ahmet…

Michael Jackson and Elvis: Two Legends Taken Too Soon

Friday, June 26th, 2009

As you probably know (if you don’t live under a rock), Michael Jackson died yesterday at the age of 50. He was the King of Pop, the star beloved worldwide for his music despite his occasional eccentricities. As fans pay tribute to Jackson today, many are recalling similar tributes to other lost musicians, especially Tennessee’s own Elvis Presley.
Presley and Jackson have been compared in the past, but never more so than now. Both were the top of the music world in their time, both were the subject of countless rumors and speculations, both died too young (Elvis was 42 when he died in his Graceland mansion in 1977), and both inspired outpourings of grief around the world upon their sudden deaths. As the public waits for the autopsy results for Jackson, many can’t help but wonder whether the toxicology will indicate a drug-related death, which would be still another similarity to Elvis.
Jackson was even briefly married to Elvis’s daughter, Lisa Marie, in the 1990s. They divorced after less than two years of marriage, but Lisa Marie said in a statement that she is “sad and confused” at Jackson’s death, and that she is “heartbroken for his children.”
It is a tragedy to lose two of the brightest stars of American music far too young, first Elvis, now Michael Jackson. As the tributes continue, one can only hope that the celebration of Jackson’s life and music will help the grieving come to terms with his death.
