Modern family tree

A colleague was browsing one of those gossip mags during an afternoon tea break and there was an article on Mel B and her new baby Madison. The convo progressed to her daughter Angel with Eddie Murphy, who has other children as well, and Mel B's new husband, who also has a daughter from a previous marriage. My colleague then remarked it would be an interesting family tree.

After a quick wiki (which mean quick!) search, I was able to put this together (only because this is such important information...):

forbes billionaire list

Hubby was checking out Forbes 2010 Billionaires' list and came across the Malaysian billionaire Ananda Krishnan, worth US$7.4b, ranked #89 on the list. A short biography ends with "Has a son who is a monk and lives in a forest". Random, but thought it amusing.

Current Obsession

My previous post wasn't a true reflection of my obsession - of late I have been obsessed - yes, that's right - obsessed - with the TV Show Glee.

Actually, let me rephrase that - I'm obsessed about the performances on the TV show Glee. The storyline isn't exactly the best or most brilliant - I tend to fast forward bits of the acting once I know what's going on (my sisters and husband would know how annoying I can be with that habit) but would watch the performances over and over and over and over again. Then if I have stuff to do I'd listen to the soundtrack over and over and over and over again.

Obsessed, I tell you.

Maybe it's just because the singer-performer in me is busting to get out of the closet, haha

But anywho - it's great to watch particularly because the songs are really sung by the actors themselves - most of the lead characters have been on Broadway. The teacher was Link Larkin in Hairspray, the female student was Cosette in Les Miserables when she was like, 9; etc.

Fave scene from SATC movie 1

This is definitely my favourite scene of the first Sex and the City movie. Didn't think too much of the first SATC movie, hence won't be having very high hopes for the second one. I'm one of those people who think that TV shows should quit while they are ahead, and not try to jump the shark. But though I don't have high hopes for the 2nd SATC movie, I'd still watch it - heheheh

Child Abuse!

A dear friend of mine just found out she’s having a baby- that, and a forum which I stumbled across recently, got me thinking about baby names. Embarrassed as I am to admit it; I am possibly 3 years away from having kids of my own, but I have my kids’ names picked out already – now it’s up to me to convince The Husband of them, as I’m sure quite a few people don’t necessarily like the names I’ve chosen.

To each their own; but some people really name their kids the awful-est names! Never mind celebrities, but even normal people too! Here’s just a list of REAL names I think worth mentioning in this post!

1. Ronald and Donald McDonald
2. Justin Case
3. Mike Hunt
4. Jermajesty Jackson (Son of Jermaine Jackson)
5. Tu Morrow (Rob Morrow's son)
6. Jasmine Rice
7. Brock Lee
8. Indiana Jones (for a girl)
9. Cholera Peace
10. Harry Pitts
11. Holly Wood
12. Candy Kahne
13. Felanie (as in Melanie with an F)
14. E- (that's it. E hyphen.)
15. Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii
16. Number 16 Bus Shelter
17. Dick Assman (A Canadian petrol station owner)
18. ESPN (pronounced as Espin!)
