Note to Lilakoi Moon (formerly Lisa Bonet): Your Newborn Baby Will Not Be Able to Pronounce His Ambitiously Bestowed Multisyllabic Name Until He Is at Least 14

That once rascally Lenny-Kravitz-loving late 80's/early 90's hipster of the Cosby family, Denise Huxtable Kendall (remember when she married that Navy dude?!), just had another baby, a very creatively (annoyingly?) named baby.

Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, tha's right, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. Would you expect anything less from this unconventional free spirit than Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa?

We like interesting names. There are so many others who share the same generic name that it might be nice to have a unique label, but this just stinks of dumb fertile people trying really hard to illustrate they have achieved some sort of spirituality or higher understanding of this crazy mixed up world by slathering their baby in "meaningful" words, which we all know is impossible, these are television actors.

We don't even have the energy to look up what it means. It might be here, father of the child Jason Momoa's (of "Stargate: Atlantis" fame) hilarious fansite.

Elizabeth Edwards: "I Stayed For The Kids"

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:39:00 GMT

John Edwards, who is a no-good chauvinist who tried to shrug off (clearly) fathering his girlfriend's child as being okay because he "did not love her," at least told his wife about the affair before the press heard about it and her cancer had returned.

In a detailed story by People:

Elizabeth Edwards was furious and distraught about her husband's betrayal, but she decided to keep her marriage in tact, in large part, because of her terminal cancer and the prospect that her children will one day be motherless, those closest to her said. In 2007, doctors diagnosed Elizabeth with incurable cancer.

A friend of Elizabeth's is quoted as saying that the almost immediate reemergence of Mrs. Edwards's cancer kicked her feelings into high gear, and she was forced to confront her future and make a decision ASAP:

"She couldn't say, 'Well, maybe we'll work through this for years, or maybe we should separate for two years,' " said Hargrave McElroy, Elizabeth's friend. "(The cancer) forced her to choose whether to move forward."
"She was struggling with being out there," McElroy said. "She did strikingly less campaigning than she did" when Edwards was the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
"Part of the burden for Elizabeth had been the lie," McElroy said. "She anticipated the great relief the truth brings."
But John Edwards' public confession did not bring the relief that Elizabeth anticipated, the magazine reports.
The confession has been crushing to Elizabeth because of how badly her husband's image has been tarnished.

No wonder Elizabeth privately wanted Edwards to endorse Hillary Clinton: the two are practically on the exact same wavelength about their husbands...

While You Were Sleeping: Madonna's Breakdown?

This creepy Boy Scout leader was charged with six sex offenses. Guess what they involved?

FoxNews and other sources are confirming the John Edwards Love Child story, with the former ready to present an interview with a hotel security guard who will allegedly back up the Enquirer's shock saga.

The John Edwards Affair And Love Child Scandal: The Sequel

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:50:00 GMT

John Edwards, two-time Presidential candidate and John Kerry's Vice-Presidential pick in 2004, has been dogging a sex scandal for months, since December 2007, in fact. Now, as polls continue to show the former Senator as the most effective running mate for Obama (in terms of which states he helps pick up), his chances at a second nomination for VP is in serious jeopardy following these latest allegations...

According to the National Enquirer-- wait, stop. This is a serious story, being picked up by mainstream media, that comes from the National Enquirer? Well, it's not exactly trustworthy until you find out they're claiming they did their own reporting on this, following Edwards around and even attempting to corner him in a bathroom for a photo.

A team of ENQUIRER reporters caught the married ex-senator visiting his mistress and secret love child late Monday night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles hotel.

...Edwards got out of the passenger side, walked around the front of the car and went in a side entrance near the swimming pool. [A friend of both Edwards and his alleged mistress rented two rooms and, the Enquirer claims, stayed in one of the rooms alone so the couple could spend time alone.]
Edwards' advisers are "spitting mad and furious" that his late-night escapades have made international headlines because it could derail his chances of becoming Barack Obama's running mate. Edwards has not explained his whereabouts to any members of other news media outlets who have been trying to follow up on the story.

His mistress, blonde divorcee Rielle, meanwhile... is "in despair" that Edwards might cut off contact with her because their latest rendezvous has been exposed in the media.

You may recall that this story came and went during the run-up to the Iowa caucuses. First, the love child allegations surfaced; soon after, they were "buried" when a close (married) friend of Edwards' came forward to say, "Hey, wait a minute. It was actually me." The story quickly vanished from even the conservative blogosphere, although no one seemed to believe it. We all acted like the detective does when a death row inmate takes a rap for somebody else-- he may have his suspicions but he's happy just to close the case and move on.

Word on the blogs is that, by the time you're reading this, most major media will cover it-- at least with reservations similar to the ones we voiced in the second paragraph of this post. We'll have more later on...

The Governor's Love Child? The Post Thinks It's Real

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:47:00 GMT

And you thought the big news of the day would be Governor Richardson giving Barack Obama a crucial late endorsement? Nope.

According to Politics1:

The New York Post and the New York Sun are both spending serious resources chasing a story that newly sworn-in Governor David Paterson (D) possibly fathered an illegitimate son years ago with a woman who is today a Republican District Leader in New York City. According to the rather wild allegations, Governor Paterson convinced his brother Daniel to claim fatherhood of the boy to protect his political career. Reporters this week dogged the young man, 24, to Boston where he is a college student -- but he refused to comment. The mother has likewise refused interview requests so far. The young man was present for Governor Paterson's swearing-in ceremony this week. Paterson acknowledged to reporters this week that both he and his wife have each had several affairs during their marriage. Our guess is that the story goes nowhere -- and that nothing will surface proving these claims -- but it is sending reporters on a wild goose chase.

Paterson dismissed the allegation as nothing but a “sporadic rumour in Albany that I had a love child.” And with a Republican politician? Man, this guy may turn out to have more juicy shit on him than even his predecessor possibly could However, other than the above, we have no further information at this time.

We'll update as more gossip rolls in.

Rumor: JFK Love Child Living in Vancouver

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:15:00 GMT

Page Six ran a story yesterday about a "40-something" British Columbian man who is about to be exposed as JFK's illegitimate love child. He apparently bears a striking resemblance to the assassinated ladies man and is described as "tall [and] handsome."

The man, who so far has been respectfully unnamed, is believed to be the product of President Kennedy and a friend of LBJ's from the VP's good ol' Texas days. A Vanity Fair story, rumored to have been killed at the request of little brother Teddy, may still be in the works after all.

We're still holding out for a love child of JFK and Marilyn to turn up and be smokin' hot.

John Edwards' Love Child: Never Meant to Be

Emily Farris — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 17:09:00 GMT

The Enquirer is reporting that Rielle Hunter, a woman who was linked to Democratic hopeful John Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier this year, is six months preggers with his love child.

Edwards has denied an affair with Hunter and now a political operative close to Edwards' campaign is claiming to be the father. But this guy is also married with children of his own. Is he protecting Edwards? Was she sleeping with them both? Enquiring minds want to know!

Now, we know this is the Enquirer we're talking about here, but they've scooped scandals and been right in the past, so we're keeping an open mind.
