M.I.A.'s Son Ikhyd Will Inherit $8 Billion!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 16 May 2009 12:06:00 GMT

M.I.A.'s infant son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman , 3 months, is going to be one rich little dude - he'll inherit nearly $8 billion! Eight billion dollars - can you even imagine?

M.I.A.'s fiance and father to Ikhyd, Benjamin Bronfman, 26, is set to inherit the massive amount of money and it will be passed down to the couple's son at some point.

The fortune was accumulated by Benjamin's family, who are owners of a now defunct Seagram company - once the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world.

A source said the Paper Planes singer doesn't "really care about the money. But it helps." Uh, yes, eight billion clams will probably come in handy!

Although M.I.A. and Benjamin are not married, that won't make a difference in their son inheriting the money and assets.

"They will do the marriage thing when time permits."

Singer M.I.A. welcomed her first child - son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman - almost three months ago, and she made a recent appearance at the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala. I must say, she was looking awesome!

We got a sneak peek at her baby boy as she and fiance, The Exit singer and guitarist, Benjamin Brewer walked through LAX. That baby is gorgeous!

M.I.A. recently performed at Coachella, and during her set, she said to the crowd, "Can we get some order in the place? My baby's waiting!"

She might still love performing but now that she's a mom, baby comes first!

UPDATE: M.I.A. Did NOT Name Her Baby Ickitt!!!!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:04:00 GMT

Oh thank goodness! It was reported that new mom M.I.A. named her nearly-one-month-old baby boy Ickitt but that is not the case... whew! No offense, but that really is an awful name.

M.I.A. updated her MySpace to say:

MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY , HE DONT NEED PRESS!

I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!!

BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON , TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.

LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!

Ha ha... lots of love stickit... she's cute.

I guess she'll release her baby's REAL name when she's darn good and ready or maybe she won't.

Finally! M.I.A. Names Her Baby Boy!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:10:00 GMT

Well, I say finally, but to be fair, I'm sure hip-hop singer M.I.A. named her baby boy soon after his birth, but this is the first time we're hearing his name. She and Benjamin Brewer welcomed him on February 11, and their son is one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen... but his name? Uh, not, something I'd pick. Wanna know what it is?

Find out after the jump!

Ickitt. I don't know, maybe it has some special significance that we're unaware of? Sure, it's obviously her choice what she names her baby and really, he is a beautiful, beautiful baby, but the name...

As we all know, M.I.A. certainly isn't the first celebrity parent to give their child an unusual name.

Maybe it'll grow on us.

*Update* She did NOT name her son Ickitt......HERE!!!!!!

New Mom M.I.A. To Perform At Oscars In A Bed?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Hip-hop star and performer M.I.A. welcomed her first child - a son - last Wednesday, and she was scheduled to perform this coming Sunday at the Oscars, however, will the new mom be up for it so soon after the birth of her baby?

Oscar producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon are willing to do whatever it takes to make M.I.A. comfortable, in the hopes that she'll be performing at the Oscars Sunday evening, even though she's just had a baby.

M.I.A. is scheduled to perform her Oscar-nominated song "O, Saya" from Slumdog Millionaire, and producers are suggesting she perform on a bed!

Said Mark, "She's eager to perform... We've said things like, 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed.' We'll make it as easy for her as we can."

I'm thinking she'll do it - if the woman can get her groove on, up on the Grammy stage, when she's ready to pop a baby out, then this should be a piece of cake!

She must have got things moving after her Grammy performance last Sunday - because hip hop star M.I.A. has given birth to her first child! So, did she have a girl? Or a boy, as she was convinced she was having?

It's a boy! She and fiance Benjamin Brewer welcomed their son on Wednesday, February 11.

Desi Hits asked M.I.A. what she hopes to teach her child: "I would teach my child tons of things. I want my child to see third world countries, and be humble about what he or she has, and have sound judgement."

Congrats! We'll keep you posted with more details as they become available.

A very pregnant M.I.A. took to the stage at the Grammy Awards Sunday evening, and she certainly delivered - well not her baby, but her performance! I was convinced her water was going to break! The hip hop singer, who is having a son, is convinced her boy will be a hip hop star too.

Video after the jump!

Before taking the stage Sunday night, M.I.A. said her little one is poised to be a hip hop star. "He's getting ready for Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. So far, so good.

"I just don't know what labor is. It's my first baby. So I'm not walking around going, 'Maybe this is it.' The baby is just moving around, getting his swagga on."

Pregnant hip-hop star M.I.A. will perform at Sunday's Grammy ceremony, which is awesome, but what's more interesting - is it's also the same day she's due to deliver her baby!

Says the first-time-mom-to-be:

"They say that you're often late the first time, so I'm planning to go. We'll see. People are trying to get me to relax and focus on the baby. It's like being in parallel universes."

Sounds like she's going to keep going until the very end - well, the beginning of her new life with baby!

M.I.A. , who is engaged to musician Benjamin Brewer, is up for two Grammy awards.

Good luck with the show and the baby!

Another TV Actress Pregnant!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:01:00 GMT

Wow, something really is in the water in Hollywood! Another TV actress is pregnant with her first baby. I'll give you a hint: She plays the wife of a very sexy man on a CBS drama. What's your guess?

Find out after the jump!

The Mentalist star Maxine Bahns (she plays Simon Baker's wife) is expecting her first child with husband, adventure racer Patrick Watson.

She tells PEOPLE:

"I'm very excited. The whole pregnancy has been amazing and I can't wait to love this baby."

The couple are due in February with a girl and they've already chosen a name: Madison Rose. Very pretty! I love the name Madison - probably why I named my own daughter that.

"I love the nickname Maddie," says Bahns. "And my husband's mom's name is Rosemary, so we wanted to honor her by giving our daughter the name Rose."

"I'm ready to be a mom," says Bahns, 37, who's been prepping by taking baby care and breastfeeding classes "I've been around the world a few times and I've waited a little longer, so this feels like the right time."

The couple can't wait to meet their daughter. "My husband is the first man I've ever met that I truly felt I wanted to have a child with. I can't wait to meet our baby."

Aww, congrats!

I'm not sure if anyone believes me when I say there's something magical in that Hollywood bottled water, but seriously, there's quite the celebrity baby boom going on. And now, there's another television personality to add to that long list of preggos. I'll give you one hint: She's a real witch!

The Joys of Motherhood - Celebrity Moms Speak Out

Sassy Smith — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:06:00 GMT

Having a child changes your life and for famous parents it's no different. Here's what a few celebumoms had to say about motherhood and what it means to them:

Kate Hudson, mom to son Ryder Russell, 4:

"I'm very impatient. I like to get things done. I move fast. Patience has been something he's teaching me. Your children teach you so much. It's a real mirror of yourself. You recognize the things you do directly affect your children. It hopefully allows you to be more conscious of them and yourself and your actions. When you have kids, it goes so fast. I felt like I was pregnant last weekend, but he's 4 and he's talking and he's gathering his ideas and learning who he is. It's so easy to step in and fix things and make everything right, but you have to let him figure things out on his own. That's one of my favorite things to do, to watch how they treat other kids and how they observe other people. Your life becomes about your children. I wake up every morning and I hear his voice, and that's my favorite thing in the world. There's nothing like it."

Salma Hayek, 41, gave birth to Valentina last year:

"You learn so much. Listen to her. She's in the background. Do you hear that strange noise she makes (like a purr, or a rolled r)? It's the French in her. (Dad is businessman François-Henri Pinault.) It's hilarious. What I learned as a mother is that I have a strong love for things. But the quality of your love gets jaded over the years as you get beat up. What motherhood did to me, when she was born, the amount of love that started pouring out of me was completely pure. Anything anyone ever did to me was erased by this energy. I relearned how to love everything around me, too. My baby is the best thing that has happened to me in my life. It's the most amazing thing."

Actress Thandie Newton, 35, is mom to Ripley,7, Nico,3:

"I've learned the value of stripping it down to the basics: love, respect, compassion, stillness, to be interested, to be able to absorb the moment. I remember the first time Ripley saw her shadow. My god. It was like shadows had just been invented. It was the most exquisite moment. And it was just dish to me. To actively attempt to be a good mother is basically attempting to be a good person. I never look at my kids and feel that they're mine. I am their caretaker. They own the joint. It's a privilege to be able to take care of them. With my first daughter, I remember waking up and thinking, 'My god, I get to be her mum again today. Wow. It's amazing.' They just take my breath away. All I do is serve themselves back to themselves. My job is just to provide a secure environment where they can just be themselves. It's the cycle that keeps going forward. You give to them, so they can give to their kids. You have to be delighted by that."

Helen Hunt, 44, has a 3-year-old daughter, Makena:

"It gives me real motivation to try and be the person I want to be. You tell them to be patient. But they'll do what you do and not what to say. If I want her to be relaxed, I have to be relaxed. Or at least try as hard as I can to seem relaxed. If I want her to be patient, I have to be patient. If I want her to be kind, I have to be kind. I have a deep wish for her to be happy and serene, and it makes me want to do everything I can to be happy and serene."

First-time mom Nicole Richie, daughter Harlow, 4-months:

"Everything I do is for her [Harlow]. My whole life revolves around her and I absolutely love it. I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant... and it's been nothing but an amazing ride since." Nicole would also like to expand her family soon. "I want five children. Twin boys and three girls. I've wanted that since I was a little girl."

Actress Sigourney Weaver,58, mom to Charlotte,18:

"It's a very humbling experience. Parenting has changed and evolved so much since I was parented. Parents enjoy their kids much more. It's just fun. It's a potentially blossoming time, because you have to be everything. You have to be a great storyteller. You have to be very organized, very supportive and still. You can't believe you have this without a license, without any training. You learn as you go. You're getting to know your child, who is a complete individual at birth, and you spend years getting to know who that person is and making sure that person is as supported as possible."
