"Nicole Kidman has delivered her first child, a baby girl, her agent, Wendy Day, said." [SMH]

Wouldn't it be a worry if the child was anything but a baby? 'Nicole Kidman has delivered her first child, a fully-grown woman...'

  1. David Koch made the best comment... the baby's name is Sunday Roast... I'm sorry, Sunday Rose.

    It evoked all these images of "I'd give up dinner with Tom Cruise, because mum's doing a lamb roast".

  2. ha! I didn't even make that connection. Surely they'd employ people to parse names for that kind of thing...

  3. Hmm. Kosh isn't the sharpest knife in the draw but I can relate to his analogy. I've nicknamed my daughter "Little Hamburger" because she's so adorable. I don't know what it is about relating babies to food but it's so cute for some crazy reason :)
