Natasha Kaplinksky is fairly gorgeous. I have always suspected, however, that she's not really bright enough to be a real journalist.
And, since last night, that suspicion has ripened into a certainty.
Why, Barry? What happened last night?
We had a power cut, and on my way back from buying some candles on the other side of town - - I saw the pub at the end of the street was open and well-lit. I went in to drink a pint or two while waiting out the engineers. They had papers, so I sat and read them, in between chatting to the apparently 14-year old licensee and his girlfriend.
Yeah, Barry, fascinating - but Kerplunsky?
Right, sorry. So I'm reading through the paper, and I see that Natasha has dropped the sprog. It is called - a daughter, IIRC - Spangles.
SPANGLES.
This is a sickness. These celebrities think there is something super-amazing about themselves, so super-fantastic that they can't have children with ordinary names, the sort of names that the unwashed grot-bags who merely adore them from afar at the other end of a TV broadcast signal give to their children.
If they want to think that, fine. But child abuse is not the way to express it. Ask yourself - would Peaches Geldof be quite the same one-woman human train-wreck if she'd been called Caroline?
thats clearly a brilliant name. i look forward to the birth of her next children "pacers" and "chewits"
Oh, and since I can't find anywhere else to put it...
10.35 tonight, channel 4. Secretary, with Maggie Gyllenhardtospell and James Spader. The film that made all single male lawyers around the world say:
"Jesus! Where can I find a secretary like that?"
Barry, maybe it's still the pain talking, but are you really that off your game? Spangles is NatKap's nickname, and the baby is a boy who hasn't yet been named - see First pictures of Natasha Kaplinsky and her baby boy (and they're really rather tasteful, Spangles) | Mail Online
Bless.
Oh and by the way:- yeah, and would Amy Winehouse be the same drug-crazed nutter if she'd had a normal name llike, ooh, um, Amy?If they want to think that, fine. But child abuse is not the way to express it. Ask yourself - would Peaches Geldof be quite the same one-woman human train-wreck if she'd been called Caroline?

Beautiful baby and what's in a name...character building perhaps???!!
David Bowie's son Zowie wants to be known as Duncan because he wants to be taken seriously as a film director, surely talent should shine through more than the name.
Much of the 'cooky' or 'hippy' names I think say more about the parents and where they are in a moment in time...
BUT others ..
Audio Science...Shannon Sossamon
Camera ....Arthur Ashe
Jermajesty ....Jermaine Jackson
Pilot Inspecktor...Jason Lee..
What's that all about???
Mind you my beautiful little man, now 15months old is called Keane so I should talk!!
if you love the life you live then you'll get a lot more done
Barry, the report I read said they hadn't chosen a name for the baby yet, so Spangles might be just an interim name until they decide on a proper one.
If she has called her child Spangles, then she has confirmed what I thought about her all along...
...she's a muppet.
Well, I don't have the paper here, and I expect the pub has thrown it out. I don't even remember which paper it was - I went through four or five, probably safe to say it wasn't the Times - but I'm reasonably certain that's what I read. Maybe the article had it wrong.
I await the final choice of name with bated breath.
Speaking of films I just finished watching The midnight meat train.
Really, don't bother. It's one of the very few films where at the end, I found myself saying "I bloody knew I should have stopped watching this an hour ago." Even the bravura photography and camera direction couldn't save the fact that the script SUCKED.
Example: the hero sees a woman - later revealed to be a rilly famous model - get on a train at gone 2am in the morning. We know bad things are going to happen to her, because Vinnie Jones is holding the door open for her.
Amazingly, the story that the model is missing is a major article in the morning paper.
That's wrong on so many counts. For one thing, the morning papers are all printed and on their way to the newsstands by 2am. All they had to do was to make it the next day but one in the script, but...
(O, and before anyone else says it, no, there were no articles about Natasha Kaplinski in that newspaper...)
Well, he was called Michael, only in Russian. Mike, Mickey, Mick. Just looks more exotic to our eyes. But right enough, no-one would ever make it as a dancer with a name like Fred
One of the greatest opera composers of all is called Joe Green, you know.
Some other famous folk for you:
Lewis from the beetroot fields
Strong as the lion from Vinci
Hero of the Lord and son of Count Gerald
