Brad Pitt skips Cannes, skips baby naming

Brad Pitt sent an email to the Cannes FIlm Festival today saying he couldn’t attend due to the the “imminent arrival” of his new baby. Additionally, it’s being reported that he and Angelina Jolie are going to let Namibian Governor Samuel Nuuyoma name their new baby. He’s become a close personal friend and helped them find a safe haven in Africa.

According to American publication In Touch, Nuuyoma will stage a news conference on Friday to announce his part in the christening. The announcement has prompted many to believe Jolie has already given birth. A Namibian official tells In Touch, “It’s true. This is a great honour for Namibia and everyone is very excited.” The source explains that local custom will prompt Nuuyoma to visit Jolie when she goes into labour and officially name the baby.

I have no idea what native Namibian names sound like but I’m hoping they’re horribly unfitting for a white kid. Like Shaniqua. Or Afroman. Or maybe just a series of clicks and whistles. Because everything I’ve learned about Africa I’ve learned through sketch comedy shows.

    everyone is saying how this kid one the genetic jackpot…I don’t know though. It could be that this kid is really good looking…or it could go the other way. And look like Britney Spears post K. Fed.

    What Brad and crazy Angie haven’t realized is that after the creature is born Angie is gonna get an old fashioned Namibian clitoridectomy.

    Mrs Jolie, you have a girl and we also removed that pesky clit for ya. HA HA!!! you got Punk’d!!

    Wow, they just couldn’t let all the other celebs have some spotlight for their babies…they just have to suck it all up, don’t they?

    I’m waiting for a celeb to give their kid a NORMAL name. And when that happens, I am going to shake that celeb’s hand.

    Having Nikk post between my two really racist posts makes me feel bad.
    Sometimes the humor of shock value doesn’t outweigh the wrongness of the statement.
    My bad.

    I think it’s so…cute…that these two people, unmarried, several times divorced, et cetera, are having their baby christened.

    You wouldn’t have thought such a thing mattered to them. That’s actually rather nice.

    Angelina looks like she is just. About. To. Pop.

    But as for the whole name thing, surely it couldn’t be worse than any of the other dumb things pretentious, show-offy celebrities name their poor kids.

    I say they name the baby Jiggaboo, a traditional Nambian name which means “Anjelina Jolie has a big floppy vagina”.

    poor celebrity kids, as if they werent gonna have enough problems in life because of their dipshit parents and backwards, retarded DNA, they also have to put up with having shitty shitty names. I am sure the parents only do it to make themselves feel special. They wonder why they have to conform to normal name giving, they are too important for that. I ask you, Pilot Inspector???? Moses?? Bluebell Madonna? Suri? Tinkerbell? Apple??
    when will the madness end?

    If the Namibian Governor is calling a press conference for Friday, why does everyone assume he will speak about Angelina Jolie’s baby?? Surely he has more pressing national issues on his agenda?!

    I like the fact that G. Bush can’t take over a 3rd world nation with the most advanced army in history, and Angelina Jolie made Nambia her bitch, effortlessly.

    @37….no he doesn’t.

    I read somewhere that they’re even planning on making the day a national holiday.
    All of which tells me that, the world, will not be affected in the LEAST, if Namibia were wiped off the face of the earth.
