Nicholas Cage Names Son: Kal-El

Eccentric comicbook geek turned B-Lister Nicholas Cage and his 21-year old former sushi waitress wife Alice named their newborn son ... Kal-El Coppola Cage, after Superman, the lost son of Krypton. We shit you not; how could we shit about a thing like this? According to Hello!Magazine:

"Nicolas Cage and his wife Alice welcomed their first child together on Monday, and continued the celebrity trend for unusual baby monikers by naming the new arrival Kal-el, which comic fans will recognise as Superman's birth name.

"'They are happy and healthy and it's quite lovely,' confirmed the actor's publicist, without offering explanation for the name.

"The Family Man himself has been married twice before � or three times if you count the fact that he married and divorced actress Patricia Arquette twice. His other wife was Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, whom he divorced shortly before wedding Alice Kim."

Kal-El joins the ranks of Hollywood babies with eccentric names (but good publicity), like Jason Lee's son, Pilot Inspektor, Rob Morrow's unfortunately named child, "Tu" Morrow, Shannyn Sossamon's child, Audio Science, and, of course, who can forget the oily Jermaine Jackson's progeny, Jermajesty (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment).

Remember those quaint days when we thought Rumor and Scout Larue Willis were an odd name?

Even "Apple" sounds good next to those fucking atrocities you mention in your post. Just proof that celebs are really retards in sheep's clothing. Which apparently they can't name, unless they look on the tags--Rachel.
