Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II of Monaco have welcomed twins Gabriella and Jacques, the BBC reports. Gabriella was born first, and Jacques was born two minutes later. Prince Jacques is next in line to the throne.
Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers Hammer have welcomed a baby girl, Just Jared reports. Harper Hammer was born on December 1st. A source explains the name: "Elizabeth lived on Harper Ave. when she and Armie met eight years ago and they always said they would name their first daughter Harper."
I love the name Harper, but Harper Hammer not so much.
ReplyDeleteAh, the patriarchal rules, so quaint.
Mazel to the families!
I was just going to express my love for Harper as well. Didn't think about the last name, but you are so right. Horrible name to go with this particular last name. Ouch.
DeleteLuckily she didn't live on Sledge St.
DeleteI lol'd
DeleteFirst twins in the history of Monaco. (according to some other gossip site)
ReplyDeleteI also think Harper Hammer is a bit much, but at least it's not Armand.
BBC: "It is the first time twins have been born to Monaco's royal family since it was founded in the 13th Century."
DeleteMy husband's last name is Coke. I can tell a lot about a person based on their reaction when I give them my full name. Also, through both of our pregnancies, the number of "Name the baby Cherry!" jokes were endless.
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a blind last year or so about Princess Charlene being caught at an airport trying to leave the country? I think it was on CDaN.
I wonder if this was an IVF pregnancy and whether she'll be allowed to divorce him now that she's given him an heir. She wouldn't have to leave the kids or anything, but she could get away from him at least.
DeleteCORNBREAD! Long time no see!
DeleteHi, I Do!! How's the new baby???
DeleteHi lawn! How are you?
DeleteBeckett is great, thanks! Today he is 17 days old. 😃
I'm just ducky. Congrats on the new little one!! Beckett is a wonderful name!!
DeleteI'm just thinking - Cornbread Coke.... I like it ;)
DeleteWell Armie Hammer is pretty awful if you ask me. I love the name Harper but it's getting to be like the name Heather back in the mid 80's. Overused.
Yes, i need alo alot alot more info on this pairing. She did indeed try to run away yhe night before yhe wedding and was taken from airport to palace. She cried thru her whole wedding. Considering he looks like a slug without a shell, there doesnt seem to be any physical intimacy btwn them. Why does she stay? Why is he so awful one trues to run away? Im gussing the deal was marry him and gv monaco some heirs, or one of the other whack job kids of his sibs will claim it. I guess marriage eve, when she saw the trail of slime he was leaving all over the place, she tried to bail. I want some inside info dammit!!!!!! That family is a side show!
ReplyDeleteLiddy - slug without a shell!!!! Outstanding!!!!!!!!
DeleteI like how they had to qualify using Harper because it's so trendy. My lil fur baby toypoodle is named Harbour but people think its Harper so I always really express the B when introducing her. And poor Charlene always seems so trapped and miserable.
ReplyDeleteHe has other children, one by a woman named Nicole Coste from Togo in West Africa named Alexandre. They were quick to say that he could not take the throne. This marriage was forced. I do think it was an IVF pregnancy. She's done her job and sadly, much like the late Princess Diana, she's of no use to them now. She can do what she wants as long as she's discrete.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the Daily Fail to serve up the tea. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2009911/Look-whos-turned-Mother-Prince-Alberts-illegitimate-son-spotted-strolling-Monaco--day-gets-married.html
ReplyDeleteThey should have brought their shit into the 21st century and let Caroline be the permanent reigning monarch for Christsake. Fuck that patriarchy bullshit. Wasn't Monaco going to lose it's status as a separate country and get taken back by England if HE didn't produce an heir. SO stupid. I can't even conceive of an arranged marriage myself.
ReplyDeleteIronically I'm watching Runaway Bride with Julia (I want a divorce) Roberts.
France was going to get Monaco back if there was no legitimate male heir.
DeleteI was too bored to look it up. I figured if I guessed I had a 50% chance of getting it right....DOH!
