Joy to la-la land--Hollywood's Messiah is born!

I was in Key West when I got the news that Brangelina's baby was born. The bigger question is where were you? This has been a much anticipated summer on the baby front in Hollywood. Celebrities are giving birth right and left.
With the birth of Brangelina's offspring, no one is making a big deal about Suri Cruise anymore.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born Saturday May 27 in the late evening -- via C-section, according to People magazine -- in Namibia where her famous parents bunkered down weeks ago for the birth. Paparazzi have been staking out the place for over a month, trying to snap the million dollar shot, but considering the pack of lions guarding the hotel Pitt and Jolie were staying in, the money shot was (is) going to be a long shot. However, I have faith that the paparazzi will prevail, even if it costs them a limb.

The couple also have two adopted children, 4-year-old Maddox and 4-month-old Zahara.

In a statement to People magazine, Jolie thanked the staff of Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital. Jolie's obstetrician from Los Angeles, Dr. Jason Rothbart, told People that he delivered the child, weighing seven pounds, by Caesarean section "due to breech presentation," and that the birth went "flawlessly."


But let's break down the meaning of the baby's name for fun.
Shiloh is "generally understood as denoting the Messiah, 'the peaceful one,' " according to Easton's Bible Dictionary, an 1897 work of biblical definitions.

Nouvel, the child's middle name most obviously translates from the French, meaning "new."

If you want to get technical, the baby's name means "new messiah."

LOVE, ANGEL, MUSIC, BABY BOY

In other important baby news, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their first child into the world on Friday May 26. The Associated Press reports that Kingston James McGregor Rossdale was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, weighing 7.5 pounds. It is the first child for the couple; Rossdale also has a 16-year-old daughter.

Poor Kingston, even here he's in Shiloh's shadow. I guess that goes to prove the best Biblical lesson of all. If you get a choice between a king and a messiah, you go with the messiah.
