Hip-Hop star T-Pain (best known to some of you as one of the guys who’s “on a boat”) and wife Amber welcomed new son Kaydnz Koda Najm this weekend.
Proud papa T-pain posted the above picture of little Kaydnz on his Twiiter account.
Now, I’m not one of those people who thinks all babies are automatically cute. Some babies are ugly. As a non-breeder, one of my favorite games to play in the grocery store is “Spot the wizened, world-weary baby who looks like he has a ton of street smarts.” But little Kaydnz here is a seriously adorable little cutie. Look at those squishy cheeks!!
If you’re wondering how to pronounce the name, I’m guessing it’s something like “Kay-dinz.”
Since T-Pain is a practicing Muslim whose real name is Faheem Rasheed Najm, I was debating whether the unfamiliar name “Kaydnz” had some religious or cultural significance, or was just a horrible play on the word “cadence.” Then I found out the names of T-Pain’s other two children– Lyriq and Muziq. Case closed.
Why, Hollywood? Why are you doing this? Are you really all out of ideas?
The movie Girls Just Want To Have Fun was released in 1985 — the year I entered high school. All these shows and movies from that era that are being remade force me to relive ninth through 12th grade. And unless that means I get to weigh 111 pounds and have sex on the high school baseball diamond again, I’m not interested.
The only glimmer of hope that this project might not happen, is that it is still in the formative stages. That is, the script is just being written now. So many things could go wrong that would prevent it from going straight to DVD to the big screen. Pray, dudes. Pray hard.
Condé Nast, the huge magazine publisher, acquired their former competition, Fairchild Publishing earlier this year. Now, I’m not sure how intelligent it is for a magazine publisher to be buying anything right now, but Fairchild is the parent company responsible for established magazines such as Women’s Wear Daily, W and Footwear News (?). When Fairchild was purchased, Condé Nast appointed Richard “Mad Dog” Beckham, former top advertising dude at CN to the post of CEO.
Even prior to CN purchasing Fairchild, both companies resided under one roof at the Fairchild Building in New York City. When so many titles were located at the Fairchild, they had a huge, uber-fancy cafeteria built to offer fine dining for the employees. Now, Condé Nast has left Beckman behind and moved almost all of their publications (Golf Digest, Bride’s, Modern Bride, Elegant Bride to name a few) to various locations around New York City. Beckham may be hearing echoes in the halls but at least he’ll get first pick of donuts at the cafeteria. How pissed off do you think he is?
It all may be a moot issue since I sincerely believe magazines may be a thing of the past sooner rather than later. Even Vogue, Vanity Fair (which I subscribe to and it’s now so thin that it looks more like an informational brochure) and Glamour — the money makers — aren’t making enough to float the anchors better known as The New Yorker and Allure. As a matter of fact, CN pulls in over two billion dollars a year in revenue but may post a loss this year (which it hasn’t done since the early nineties).
Anyway, what do you think the prognosis is for magazines and newspapers? Three years? Five? Eternity?
Some crazy lady has come forthclaiming that Keanu Reeves fathered her four children during an on-again, off-again affair that was conducted during her teen and her married years. And when I say “her four adult children” you should realize that I mean “her four children in their early twenties.”
Karen Sala, a 46 year-old Canadian acting as her own lawyer (more proof that she’s nuts), has filed a request with the court that Keanu Reeves provide a DNA sample because she believes that he is the father of at least one of her four children.
Let’s get the logical question out of the way: Why would you wait until your kids ranged in age from 20-25 years old before filing for child support?
This whack is seeking $150,000 a month retroactive to 1988 and, get this, $3M a month in spousal support.
Sala claims that she briefly lived with Keanu in their teen years and that Reeves bought presents for her children over the years. Other evidence she offers includes a handwriting sample and claims that celebs such as Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz have observed her with the star.
In stark contrast, Reeves claims that he has no idea who this woman is.
Who do you believe? My money is on Reeves. The economy makes people do desperate things.
I know we’ve got some Mandy lovers around here, so even though I’ve recently decided that listening to her is akin to chewing on tin foil, here is the audio of her new song, “Everblue.” The new, mature me realizes that we don’t have to all like the same things and if chewing on tin foil makes you happy, you should have such joy in your life. So, chew away! enjoy!

I still question if she actually had the baby, or not. However, its obvious these were shopped and taken professionally. I don’t think they were right after birth, but I also wouldn’t doubt that Beyonce had a team there to do her...
Oh my goodness, I feel the same way! Love Roseanne. I’ve seen that series finale at least a hundred times over the years and only recently “got” that ending. I cried as well!
