Minnie Driver hints at the father of her baby

May 8th, 2008 // 55 Comments

Minnie Driver hinted at who the father of her child might be to The Independent and denied rumors that it’s San Francisco musician Craig Zolezzi. Also, judging by her information, the father is not Criss Angel. Great, so I built this bunker for nothing. Sonofa… :

The only clues Driver will offer about the identity of her “baby daddy” are that he is English, and “sort of in the same business”, and that they have evaded detection because “he’s really busy, like me”. She is so far undecided whether to have her baby in England or the US: “A big part of me wants my child to be English. My family are here and I’m sure I’ll move back here one day. It’s just that my work, and the opportunities I’ve had, have been so varied and wonderful in the States that I’ve just followed my nose really.

Holy shit. It’s Eddie Izzard. You heard it here first*. And before the comment board fills up with a hundred messages from a gaggle of homophobes with broadband, Eddie Izzard is 100% straight – despite all the cross dressing. According to his Wikipedia bio, he considers himself a “male lesbian” which is interesting because I consider myself a “female lesbian but with a penis, y chromosome and an Adam’s apple chiseled from steel.”

*Or 1,547th.

HIS CAUSE could hardly be more serious, but Nielson Webber will draw strength for the biggest challenge of his life from comedian Eddie Izzard. The Barnstaple scrum half is to run the equivalent of seven marathons in seven days, starting on Saturday.

    Eddie HIMSELF has said he is straight. Psh. Doesn’t stop the fact that he dresses better than most women AND men.

    I’ve loved Eddie Izzard ever since I saw his cross-dressed comedy show where he did the, “But have you a flag?” joke.

    Love that guy!

    As long as it’s anybody but Douchebag Magicky Douchenozzle “Too Much Jewelry” Doucheington or Donald Trump, cool.

    Maybe it’s a royal. Will? Harry? Charles? Camilla? She said “sorta in the same business.” The royals exist purely for entertainment, so it could happen…

    Well, I love Eddie Izzard, pretty sure a bit too much, and I’m happy if she is.

    He needs a kid, i think.

    I’d do it too if given the opportunity.

    CAKE? OR DEATH?

    we’re gonna run out of cake at this rate!

    with respect, this is only marginally more interesting than neve campbell’s career-ending deformed nipples.

    why are we obsessing over C and D-listers these days, Superfish? this person/”actress”/woman was dumped on oprah on national television in absentia in such a jerry springeresque fashion.

    she’s hardly a public figure — more of an indie-flick never-was and she should be released from our collective orbit. please, you’re better than this. i’d almost encourage another brooke hogan post over this, and that’s scraping the bottom, guy(s).

    to abover poster:

    well, i think you’re wrong, but that’s beside the point.

    who i care about, and LOVE, is Eddie Izzard a.k.a. God.

    I’d pop some kids out for him any year.

    anyhow. check eddie out; if you’re not too jaded, even if you are, you’ll love him! Dammit.

    so, yeah.

    :p

    Love you Eddie!

    (Is it wrong that this post has had me fantasizing over Eddie all day? weird? one-to-two word answers only, please.)

    Her husband must be very handsome I think.She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at milllionaire&celeb datingsite –
    -”AffluentBachelors.com”—- last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.
