Baby Names–How Many is Too Many?

Once upon a time parents gave their children a first, middle and last name and called it a day. These days kids are lucky if they get off with monikers that take less a day to pronounce. Case in point: the latest round of celebrity babies born to some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Last week acting duo Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell welcomed fraternal twin daughters into the world. The bitty babies were bestowed the following gigantic names: Dolly Rebecca Rose O’Connell and Charlie Tamara Tulip O’Connell. But, the O’Connell twins are not the only Tinseltown tots embracing the four-name … Continue reading →

Celebrity Baby Names

If you are a celebrity (or just feel like one) you might want to know what your peers are naming their kids. Yes, we all know about Apple, but what about pilot Inspektor or simply Jack? Personally, I think one of the great things about parenthood is that you usually get naming rights. It is entirely in your power and responsibility to identify your child for life.

Autumn in New York (2000)

Sometimes I like to review movies so I can tell you about a film I really liked and think you should see immediately. Other times, I like to review movies so I can tell you which films to stay far, far away from. This review is going to be one of the latter. Winona Ryder stars as Charlotte Fielding, a twenty-two-year-old woman who designs hats for a living. When she meets her mother’s old friend Will Keane (Richard Gere) she’s attracted to him, but he’s forty-eight. That puts things in a slightly weird category. For Will, though, there is no … Continue reading →

Well, what do you expect when your mom’s name is Soleil? Former “Punky Brewster” star, Soleil Moon Frye and her husband, Jason Goldberg, are now the proud parents of a second daughter, according to the actress’ rep.
