M.I.A.'s Real Baby Name is Still Crazy

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 13:35:00 GMT

Remember when everyone thought that M.I.A. had gone and given her baby that crazy name, Ickitt? And then she came out and said, no way would I give my baby a stupid name like that? Well, don't worry - she's finally released the baby's real name, and it's...Ikhyd.

TMZ has gotten it's hands on the baby's birth certificate, and his official name is Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.

And we thought she was going to give him one of those unusual baby names.

Well, I guess the little guy can always just call himself 'Ed' for short.

M.I.A. To Give Birth On Grammy Awards Day!?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Performer M.I.A. who is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Benjamin Brewer, could be a winner either way on February 8, 2009. She's due that day and it's also Grammy Awards day, which she's nominated for Record of the Year for "Paper Planes." Wouldn't it be awesome if her baby came that day and she won the award?

M.I.A. wrote on her MySpace:

"[They're] due the same day! So either way I figured I'll win!"

The singer, who believes she's having a boy said, she and Benjamin don't have names picked out yet.

"I need to see the baby and see who it is, what of personality it'll have. I need to give a name that is the character of the child. We're quite relaxed about the whole thing."

M.I.A. Talks Mommyhood & Music

Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:08:00 GMT

Singer/rapper M.I.A. is pregnant with her first child - she and her fiancé Benjamin Brewer will welcome their baby in February. The 31-year-old jokes if she gets much bigger, she's going to have to wear caftans but says she won't let impending birth slow her down.

M.I.A. (real name Mathangi Arulpragasam) is busy despite getting close to her due date. She's got three songs on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack and has launched a record label - N.E.E.T - to bring politically charged music to the forefront.

She recently spoke with USA Today via phone:

Q: Have you picked out baby names?
A: Not really. I need to see the baby and see who it is, what kind of personality it'll have. I need to give a name that is the character of the child. We're quite relaxed about the whole thing.

Q: And naturally, the kid will be a musician, right?
A: I think my baby is going to start off making club music. That's all I've been listening to. Of course, you never know. When you want someone to do something, it ends up doing the opposite. It might end up being an accountant. We actually don't want our kid to do music, so we're going to buy it loads of instruments … so that it will completely rebel and go the other way.

Q: How will motherhood change your music?
A: In one way I feel like you do feel more connected with the whole planet. You feel really across the board. When I sing, I have to be aware that someone can hear me inside. It's really strange. I definitely feel less angry.

Q: Has the film bug hit you, now that Slumdog Millionaire is getting Oscar attention?
A: I'd love to make a movie. I told Danny (Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire's director) that. I went to film school. I went to art school, but I studied film. That's always been one of my things. Still … music is so much easier because it's like an individual expression.

I think her baby bump is adorable!

Where in the World is Suri San Diego?

What's wrong with this photo? Let's see:

Is Tom positioned properly to ensure maximum height illusion? Check.

Is Katie in a deep trance and following the proper amount of space behind? Check.

Is Suri looking cute and stuff? Che...wait!

Where is world is Suri San Diego?

Of course I'd never give a parent a hard time about the occasional night out sans toddler. I'm there, I feel it. The thing is that it used to always be about Suri. She was always there, and lately she never is. I haven't seen her in weeks. Did they finally put her in the vault with Tom's other kids? Enquiring minds want to know.
