Soooo, Rihanna: if a tatto is "tribal" and you're not part of the tribe, doesn't that make you a little culturally insensitive? Maybe a New Zealand Jezzie could help me out here, but I was always under the impression that Maoris get pissed off with the appropriation of these tattoos - like, generally speaking, the tattoos are meant to be honouring their ancestors. And also, certain ones are only meant for men, and so on.
@heykoukla: It reminds me of Trent on Daria. You know, the whole "I got it from a magazine" thing. It looked cool so I got it but it has no meaning to me.
In Leona Lewis' defense, she has to be as confused as all get out. She goes to high school with Amy Winehouse and Adele, competes on the X-Factor and wins, figuring she'll be a British pop star.
Instead, she shoots to the top of the charts all over the world, and winds up singing on American Idol, DWTS, etc., in front of audiences who have no idea what a chip buttie is. Who do you call to chat about that with? Not like your mum will quite get it.
hmm I agree with the assessment of Nicole Kidman's acting. She's very jarring in the trailer and there are plenty of people who can actually act I would rather have seen cast in this film.
@emilyanne: I was kind of surprised they chose her to be an Englishwoman. She's Australian, in a movie about Australia. Why not Kate Winslet, or even Keira Knightley?
Of course, this is an effort at making a big Australian movie, with an Aussie director and Aussie stars. But it might be Nicole's last movie for a while, her bankability must be about running dry.
When I first read that baby name, my blurry eyes thought is said Bronx Mogwai. I then immediately yealled, "Like Gremlins?!? Ha. In comparison, Mowgli seems downright traditional. Though, only traditional in that "special" celebrity baby naming way.
@SaralaGaloot: Whereas you said "Bronx Mogwai" and I thought "Pete Wentz is a goddamn idiot for naming his kids after two different bands." Then I realized that while Wentz probably owns the entire Mogwai catalog, he's only listened to them each once so he could say he loves them.
Megan Fox then continued by saying, "Of course, it'll be me next year, once my Single White Female transition is complete and I've taken out Angelina and secretly moved in with Brad Pitt. No one will know the difference!"
@rednrowdy: She could also go with the whole "same first letter" trend: Magnolia, Montgomery, Mexia, McLennan (County, obvs) and Melissa. Wait, a couple of those actually work.
@dirtybee says we bee obama jammin: Wait - is there a Bean Station in TX?! My ex's parents moved to Bean Station, TN after high school. Google Maps, here I come...
@dirtybee says we bee obama jammin: Heh, I've actually been through Beverly Hills, TX many, many times. Every day for four years. We also have a Los Angeles, TX - population 7!
@braak: If you want to name something after a cartoon, get a fucking dog. Or pick a better character name. This kid is going to eventually be a 45 year old man with this stupid name. This confirms my theory that Pete Wentz is eternally 13 years old.
@hortense: Of course, the really hilarious thing about all of this is that "Bronx" is a person's name. The name of the borough comes from Jan Bronck, the name of the Dane that founded it in the 17th century.
Maybe Pete Wentz is actually smartertheacahdjdklgh cough cough cough.
@brendastarlet: Mowgli will go as Lex Luthor. Kal El will be Shir Khan. They will come to the party thinking they should fight, then laugh at the ironic synchronicity.
It will be like Gift of the Magi, but with over-privileged white kids with dumb names.
@hortense: Ha, so true. I was actually just discussing with my boyfriend yesterday about how I wanted to name my new cat Mowgli. Cute name for a pet, but for a child? Who will grow up to be first a teenager and then an adult? Not so much.
@braak: Bronx just makes me think of farting; I had a whoppee (sp?) cushion when I was a kid that had a funny 50s-style cartoon on it, and instructions for getting a "real Bronx cheer"

White Settlement, for instance, is a city around Dallas. Flower Mound sounds like a euphemism for vagina.

Mikaeel is Muslim WTF?? I thought that only the women covered their faces??
What is up with celebs and baby names, this is a really bad trend. I think Brooklyn was taken by a previous celeb???
Every time Terrence "Baby wipes" Howard opens his mouth I dislike him even more. Thanks Jezebel!!
Did they cancel ANTM???? They have jumped the SHARK, ITS TIME!!!
Saw the Rosie video, her facial angle alone is hilarious!
Michael Phelps was over for me the minute he dried off out of the pool!
Starting to dislike Gwyneth, wonder why??
Maybe I am wrong, but "The Elephant Man" is not a good Christmas movie, it ranks as one of the saddest movies EVER made!!

Unless you plan on dumping your kid in the jungle to be raised by wolves, naming him "Mowgli" is probably a pretty poor choice.
But...Bronx Mowgli? They should leave him to be raised by the wolves in the Bronx Zoo.
