Psychologists and others who have worked with high-profile performers say that the naming of children can function as a window into a psyche. Perhaps subconsciously, they say, stars seize the opportunity of parenthood to express their obsessions, ambitions and inner quirks in a way that is, for a change, unscripted and not stage-managed by publicists. If this is true, I don't think any publicist would have come up with Apple and Moses as baby names for a client. [NYT]

Actor Eddie Murphy's marriage is officially over, so he's able to freely bat for whatever team he wishes to. [People]
The death of Ashanti's cousin is as relevant to music as Melissa Etheridge's "wife" becoming pregnant. Of course, the cousin's death did prevent her from putting on a show. That IS music news. Getting knocked up didn't stop Melissa from doing anything. NOT music news. Funny how you put those right next to each other.
It's news (music news, at that.. notice how it's not plastered on the front page of yahoo news) because Ashanti had to cancel part of her tour (who knows how many shows [one, or more]). And the details behind it are rather sad, so you know, if it bleeds, it leads.
It's better than hearing about Tom Cruise (but of course, true to form, you still lead with it).
very interesting on the idea of the names being a representation of their psyche...what are we too make of suri and moses.

are we supposed to take a critique of anything related to the arts seriously from fox news? or anything at all, for that matter?
