Inaugural 'Celebrity Babymaking Month' Sets High Affleck-Damon Standard For Years to Come
Posted by STV at 8:40 AM on August 22, 2008
The pitter-patter of little feet is getting kind of annoying today at Defamer HQ, where news of not one, not two, not three, but four celebrity pregnancies and/or births have us hand-delivering sex-ed pamphlets to front desks everywhere from CAA to ICM. Even in this uncertain era of creative gas-rationing and looming SAG strikes, Hollywood seed is flying, and nowhere is it landing more conspicuously than in the always-competitive sphere comprising Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner; just when Damon and wife Luciana had welcomed Gia Zavala Damon into the cruel, cruel world, Garner confirmed her pregnancy with her and Affleck's own second child. Then, as the rivals regrouped to plot their escalation, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale went and blobbed at Cedars-Sinai:
Rossdale told Us that he and Stefani didn't know the baby's gender.
"It's just gonna be insane when it comes because then we will find what it is," he said. "And then we get to name the baby! It's gonna be such chaos ... amazing chaos!
"I'm just trying to be there for the wife," he told Us. "Look after her and be cool."
SPOILER ALERT: It was a boy they named — we shit you not — Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, a moniker reportedly drawn on the fly from the varieties of organic teas once cited in No Doubt's concert rider. Meanwhile, Jason Sehorn knocked up Angie Harmon again, it's their third, etc. Here's hoping September is a more subdued month, or, more accurately, that our heroic celebrities make more actual news than infants. Humor us. Please.

prediction: baby names will move on to digestifs, like Averno and Campari. Or Jagermeister. I swear to you 'Jager' is coming...

Why are these poor chil'ren named after 80's wine coolers? Hey, bartender. My lady will have the strawberry Gia Zavala. And I'll have the raspberry Zuma Nesta.

You know if Matt keeps having children with his wife, I'm going to start to think he's not taking our relationship seriously.

Yet more proof that celebrities HATE their blobs with a passion. They just can't stand that the fruit of their loin will take the spolight away from them for one nanosecond, thus the hateful names.
