May 30 2006Gwen Stefani gives birth to Kingston James McGregor Rossdale

gstefani-birth.jpg

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale gave birth to their first child together last Friday at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, naming him Kingston James McGregor Rossdale. Her rep said over the weekend: "Gwen's doing great! She looks amazing and she's doing real good."

After other celebrities have gone with Zolten, Bluebell Madonna, and Shiloh, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale actually sounds like a really solid name. Although it's a shame they didn't keep up the tradition of celebrity baby naming and call him something like Hagar the Horrible.

That was scary, for a moment I thought it said "Klingon".

James would have been so much better, but it could have been a lot worse. I think this kid actually has a chance to be semi-normal and a potential star...

These two are pretty good looking and I bet they break the rule and have a good looking kid.
Feed Me, that would have been so funny!

So Kingston must have weighed it at, what, about 32 lbs. right? For such a skinny little dude like Gwen Stefani to gain that much weight while pregnant, it must be the case.
So, like Wolfgang Van Halen, whose nickname is "Wolf", we know what Gwen and Gav will be calling their son, right? "King". Elvis, eat your heart out!

Is this somehow in honor of the Kingston Trio or something?

Tracie - the only reason why the baby would of weighed 32 lbs is because she was pregnant for about a year. Anyone else notice how long that seemed???

Kingston. Pfftt. Nothing like naming your baby after a computer memory upgrade company.

How many fucking names does the little shithead need anyway. Jesus fucking Christ just give him one name and end it.

SHE looks like Haggar the Horrible!

Am I the only one who wishes she'd been choked to death, either with the umbilical cord or by the baby itself, immediately after the birth so we'd never be assaulted again by her Joker smile, retarded fashion sense, titless non-hotness, and fucking terrible music?

"Kingston" is supposed to be a tribute to some place back in Gavin's homeland... But there's like a Kingston in every country. There's one about half-hour's drive from me right now. There's Kingston, Nova Scotia; Kingston Ontario, Kingston Georgia, Kingston Montanna, Kingston Missouri, Kingston Montanna, Kingston New York, Kingston Pennsylvania, Kingston Rhode Island, Kingston Washinton, Kingston, Jamaica, Kingston New Zealand...
It's not a bad name, but, I'm just sayin' is all...

I used to like this girl a lot when No Doubt first came out.

Then when she started acting like some kind of chola .....not so much.

b. spears should take note. this is how one is supposed to look and carry themselves when they are with child. i think these photos were taken the day she gave birth.

im pretty sure she named it after kingston, jamaica. and if anything, the kid can call himself James if he wants to be normal. nice name.

another celebrity baby. yawn. do any of them actually DO anything anymore besides procreate and call their children ridiculous names. Imagine naming your child after the most drug ridden town in Jamaica. And then trying to right it wih James. Actually, forget it...this is so boring I might cry.

Let me see, I'm going to name my future spolied little brat using the Stefani method:

Newark John Spalding McDonalds.


wooooooooo!!!

There are such extremes with female celebrities, they either ruin their body by having children or starve themselves to make it perfect. It's quite pathetic her life has got to the point when she had nothing to do but start having children.

I find people with two middle names pretentious, but that's just me.

And #17 Maybe she wanted to have a child at the point she did. It doesnt make her pathetic.

If it's a reference to Kingston Jamaica, it's because Gwen has always been a wigger, from saying that her garbage music is ska to doing duets with prominent dancehall singers.

She also seems to have pulled a madge buy usurping traditionally English names to try to and make the world forget she is in fact a dyed blonde Italian. I mean McGregor? WTF is that about.

I hope he ain't no holla back baby.

Damn, i was really looking forward to another religious based baby name. Maybe this kid will be lucky enough not to get teased too much in school. Let's hope Britney comes up with a brilliant name for her next sprog:

I still think Kingston is a little odd, only because you know his nickname will end up being King, and he will never live up to it.

http://www.wehateeverybody.com

McGregor? As is Ewan McGregor? As in Ewan McGregor might be the real father?

19 not to defend any celebrities, but i believe mcgregor is her husbands middle name.
i love how deep the hatred for nodoubt runs. its hilarious that people are still referring to arguments i heard about 10 years ago when they first came out. classic.

@19 yeah, is she from the foockin' scotish highlands now? Is she clan McGregor?

wigga please.

BarbadoSlim (#12): I must know, what is "chola?" Google tells me it's some sort of ancient dynastic family name. Please: I wannt be a cool kid too!

I'm also a fan of the pre-makeup-and-fashion-whore Gwen Stefani. But then I think Paris Hilton is hot, so go figure.

Forget the name thing BUT...I just don't get it.....why do stars indcing labor wanting C-sections???? what happened with screaming and kicking a baby out and punching the guy that impregnated you and pass out the watermelon sized fetus through a barely stetchy openning?...oh yea....birthing is a beautiful thing....why complicate it with pain and reality!

@26 I'll give you the wikipedia answer:

In the United States and Mexico, Cholo is a fairly offensive term implying a typically Mexican mestizo gangster.

that pretty much sums it up. :)

24 I'm sure it is her husbands middle name probably derrived from the last name of one of his maternal relatives. However, why diddn't they go tit for tat and make one of the four names Italian to pay hommage to his mother or her mother etc. Name the kid Kingston James Giuseppe Rossdale. Jafaking and Slimying your way out of that fact you're an Italian-American is disgracefull.

"It's quite pathetic her life has got to the point when she had nothing to do but start having children."

Kay. I'm no fan of Gwen, or of people popping out kids left and right for that matter. But Gwen Stefani is thirty-seven years old this year.

THIRTY SEVEN years old.

She ain't exactly a spring chicken, and she's past the healthy age recommended for women to start having babies. Cripes, she's almost 40, if she wants to have a baby while her uterus hasn't dried up yet then let her.

29 i dont really know or care. actually, she isnt all that hardcore italian anyway. i think her dad is like a quarter italian. she's probably just as irish or whatever the hell her mother is as she is italian. shes pretty much just a white american who grew up in california. just cause you have an italian sounding name doesnt make you fucking christopher coloumbus.

#18 I find people who make assumptions about my character based on the number of names I have to be assholes, but that's just me.

yeah, really i never knew having kids meant you are somehow pathetic. i guess that would make the whole world, including the woman who squeezed you out of her godforsaken vag pathetic too.

26

Wow, where do you live that you haven't heard of a chola? I'll give you my description of a chola:

Mexican girl who dresses like a gangsta, has penciled in eyebrows, wears black lipstick, has crunchy, over-moussed hair, usually with voluminous, teased bangs, employs the phrases, "Oh, I know, huh?", "It's so PEEEERTY", "They don't let choo go cruisin' or nothin", and gives shout-outs to her homegirls and her boyfriend Spooky who's in prison, but who she loves so much and misses, on the Art Leboe's Oldie Show.

34 you paint such a vivid picture. fucking brilliant!

Y'all! She can't be Italian, she has blond hair! Duh! I bet you think Madonna is Italian too or something.

For sure the kid is named for Jamaica mon. Between the two of them I am sure the parents have spent plenty of time pursuing the Jamaican national pastime.

It's only a matter of time before she trades this baby in for a Japanese one that can do a crazy contortionist dance or something. Because that would be like so "hip".

Ew. Gwen Stefani makes me want to kill the entire world. Like, I love chocolate chip cookies. But if I could let all the cookies in the world burn to death in exchange for her bloody demise...I would.

If she needs some more Italian in her, I'd be happy to help her out with that.......

First off she looks very pretty and put together, and though her belly got big the rest of her probably just swelled up from water retention (thats what happened to me). She will look like her regular self in a few weeks.

What she looks bad because she combs her hair and covers her belly (unlike that trash whore Britney Spears??) I agree with the post that said Britney should take note-not everyone needs to look like a total slob.

Finally! But from all people in the world, the one who gave her child a normal name had to be was Gwen Stafani...

#28: Cholo/Chola is a peruvian word in quechua language. Once meaning 'pretty boy/girl' now is used to insult those with peruvian native features.

Listen, I'm not Italian or American but I do think that an Italian-American woman naming her first born son King James McGregor is a little silly.

If it was a girl, they were going to name her "Queen Lily Sapphire Donut Reebok". I'm not even kidding.

Hey Stallion. I bet that would get her to start naming her kids nice Italian names.

The thing with hair color and skin tone and italians (and all other ethnic groups I guess) is it depends on the region. My mother was italian and she was blond so is my sister. Our ancestors came from northern italy. But we also have italian family with very dark hair and skin.

Don't even get me started on the puertorican part of the family, they go from blond blue eyed to straight up black.

We are a varied and loud bunch.

Gavin Rossdale gave me a blowjob once in a Manchester nightclub...he asked me my name, and I lied and told him "Kingston"

45
Don't you even mess with Gavin. He is sofa king hot.

Is it me, or did it seem like she was pregnant forever?

So which is it?

""Gwen's doing great! She looks amazing and she's doing real good."

Great or real good?

I think she's about to die with all those assurances. RIP the dumbest choick in the world. Her'es a nice quoute from GS (Pink must've written Stupid Girls with her particularly in mind):

"Tony called me and I was like, 'Dude, I suck.' And he was like, 'Dude, come over.' So I went to his house and a bunch of our friends there were playing these tracks that Tony was doing that were, like, stupid. I was like, "You did not do these." And he's like, 'Yep, you wanna hear your tracks?' And I was like, 'Nuh-uh, you did not.' So he
pulls out this one and I'm like, 'Oh my God, that's my song." - Gwen Stefani on the artistic process.

oh my fucking gawd she is not italian. do not make me link to her biography. i'll do it i swear.

for the last time. she is JUST as italian as she is irish or whatever mixture her mom and dad are. plus the baby is WAY more british than the less than 1/4 italian blood gwen has. the damn kid is half british and barely italian.

from everything about these people can be picked on your picking on her giving her kid a british name? the kids father is bri†ish. get over it.

@43 I don't know about helping with names, unless she's gonna name the kid, "Ouch"

MCLOUUUUDDD!!! err... MCGREGOOOORR!!!!

I wonder how many kids born in England today were named George Washington Abraham Lincoln Somethingorother.

The name is fine. Let's hope the addiction to bright red lipstick isn't hereditary.

#32 Well I'm an asshole, so It's all good.

Why are celebrities naming their babies STUPID things? It's not origional or creative... it's a name someone is STUCK with their whole life and that will DEFINE them...

Giving someone a weird name does not make something they do, how they look, or who they are what people notice, it's the stupid name and where you got it.

Unless Brad Pitt named his son Arm... then it would just be cool.

I think Gwen was about 47 months pregnant when she finally gave birth, and I want to see Gavin in a kilt, regimental, even.

Ari, I gotta tell ya. My hubby is 100% Scottish and I insisted he get the Prince Charley kilt outfit....all I can say is YUMMY!!! Worth every penny.

I'm really happy for them both :-)

I love Gwen Stefani though, haha.

I find them both to be pretty down to Earth and willing to lend a helping hand in some situations.

(Not going overboard and trying to save the world like Brad and Angelina.)

Mystress, does he go regimental? Because I could be SO happy climbing up underneath that kilt...

God, I can't wait for the Celtic festival around here. Men in kilts EVERYWHERE!

Well, and bagpipes, but that's what headphones are for.

Kingston sounds like a dog name. There's a famous race of puppies called Kingston Cavaliers.
BTW, Suri means MOUSE in french.
As for Shiloh, it could be literally translated as "pooping water" in french.
I'm not even kidding.

Is it just me, or does that name make you think a Law Firm?

Of a Law Firm

Amongst all these Zoltron-Madonna's,Bluebell- Slurries and Shitload-Roxie Crimefighters this kid's name is pretty refreshing.Pretentious,but refreshing.

@37-

You're being sarcastic, right? She BLEACHES her hair blonde!! So (if you are being serious) Lil' Kim cannot be black because she has blonde hair? Ugh, she IS such a Chola, that's what I always call her, that or plain old fashioned WIGGER. Both are kinda accurate, really. And that red lipstick is so tired, she's been wearing that shit for 10+ years, please find something new! I just want to kick her in the cunt for landing Gavin, he can do SO much better than her nasty, dried-up ass, he could have me!! Or any of you other (hotter) girls. What a sad, sad waste of a hot guy to go to her nasty skanky ass. It makes me want to cry.

And about the name...well, LA DI FUCKING DAH, aren't we pretentious? The kid is still going to be spoiled, obnoxious trash (if it takes after it's mom) it's like naming a crack baby "Sir Rembrandt Q. Einstein" or something. just fucking sad.

Thank heaven for not just ONE normal name, but an entire SERIES of normal names.

Will the parents of Suri and Shiloh please take note?

I absolutely adore Gwen. I'm not sure if she actually did name her baby after a city in Jamaica, but I'm fairly sure that if she did it would be because she was so inspired from having been there during the Rock Steady recordings, something she often talks about in interviews, not because she was trying to be a wigger whore chola whatever everyone else is saying lol. And she wasn't exactly lying when she called her music "ska" back in the day- because ska is the mixture of band instruments like trumpet and trombone with guitar. So, if you've ever listened to No Doubt's first album, you'd say yea, that was ska. Also, her music interest has changed over the years, as any one's can, but her unique style has persisted and that's what makes her famous (including the red lipstick, which I personally think suits her). Also, Gavin Rossdale is British, so that might explain McGregor. He's also extremely smokin' hot and I would like him to impregnate my womb as well. Okay, thats all folks- peace.

HAHAHA the city i live in is called Kingston!! Woot! Kingston Rocks!!

#65 - you have just named my first child. the name I had previously thought of - Sebastian Bach-man Turner Overdrive - has been pushed aside.

you know what

i dont see anyone

saying

ok

what next?

isnt that hte greatest thing ever @))

The kid needs an initial for his first name. I mean, "Kingston James McGregor Rossdale" is good, but "L. Kingston James McGregor Rossdale" is even better. He'd probably come out with a monocle, embossed business cards, monogrammed hankies, and Bill Gates calling for a loan.

There should also probably be a "Throckmorton" in there somewhere.

you know what...


you are right

el ron
some sort of cheating bitch
no hang on
en ron

oh yes

feel all thay money flooating away

did you think there wouldnt be payack?

It sounds kinda high and mighty doesn't it? That boy will be as spoiled as Brandon Davis probably, huh?

reminds me of a lesson I learned the hard way - the only time it's ok to spit in an Italian woman's face is when her mustache is on fire

Ha! Throckmorton

#34 -- LMAO -- I live in L.A. where you can't throw a rock without hitting a chola.

The eyebrow thing is most certainly true. I went to the L.A. County Fair (ghetto, I know), and my ex remarked that of all the cholas there, not one eyebrow amongst them. It's all about the Wet & Wild black pencil, ya'll.

In regards to hair, they usually have that long, wavy, stiff crap. I call it ramen hair. It looks exactly like Top Ramen!

They usually have some pretty inventive gang names as well: Bubbles, Spooky, Shorty, Lil' chato, etc.

I don't understand Gwen's desire to start performing with gangsta rappers. Talk about marketing yourself. Even Nelly Furtado has gone gangsta on us. Once you start wearing bikini tops and dancing with grown men with front grills on the teeth, you know you've sold out. I think the "scheduled c-sections" occur because it's just one more thing they can control. God forbid, they wake up with real labor pains in the middle of the night, like the rest of us normal people. Also, these women starve themselves to remain skinny, so they probably couldn't push the baby through their skeletons.

COME ON NOW.... She's just taking the Jamaica-jocking a little too far.

I thought bleaching your hair was a no no when you were pregnant? Kingston's gonna be riding the short bus, no?

You can bleach your hair while pregnant. There is no scientific evidence to state otherwise. The women who choose NOT to color their hair are just being extra cautious.

59 Ari, men in kilts are quite titilating...my hubby goes regimental always. Strangers always ask or try to look underneath when he wears it.

It's dead sexy, though....

I never did like Gwen Stefani she has no talent. Her baby is gonna have a nose that won't quit.(big)

Sir Kingston Rossdale, they'll probably call him James.

She really has alot in common with Madonna. They both "borrow" from other, hipper cultures for record sales. Both pimp a whole new people (/"look")on each album. Yet both settled down with white men, after all..
But not Americans. Englishmen. They're "different".
But still acceptable at home. Read 'em!

That's exactly it, i think many American celebirties have a simillar hang up, I mean madge marrying an Englishman in a Scottish castle and adopting some sort of rediculous accent, ashamed to be an Itailian from old working class Detroit.

Or that fucking cunt paltrow using Britishisms in place of the Americanisms she's used all her life, yeah maybe the Brits have a hard time deciphering words like vacation and stroller, suddenly it's a holiday and a pram. Don't even get me started on the whole Antony Hopkins fiasco.

God forbid an Italian American choose a Scottish name!!! The horror and scandal of it all!!

Since when is there a copyright on culture?? People have appropriated, assimilated, internalized and re-interpreted culture since the dawn of civilization. Culture is neither static nor self-contained. We all "borrow" and have been "borrowed". Build a bridge and get over it.

And for all the purists, Gwen's mother is actually of Scottish descent and so is Gavin.

Note to Gwen: The bleached blonde, red lipstick look is very yesterday and ages you. You've been sporting this look for HOW LONG now? You don't need to look OLDER, sweetie.

Kid's name might as well be Kilty McTavish. Planning to bring him up in Europe, I hope? 'cause Kingston James McDoodle will have his ass kicked here.

On the plus side, your hubby is hot. I would fuck him in a hot second. Or hot him in a fuck second. Whichever.

# 18.
what exactly do you find pretentious about it? do you even know what this word means???? probably not.
there are MANY people in the world who have more than one middle name, myself included, and i find your statement offensive

Several points to share with you 5 year olds who have nothing nice to say about a fellow human being during a blessed time in her life:

1. Kingston James McGregor Rossdale is a very fine name.
2. McGregor is Gavin's middle name.
3. Gwen looks fabulous (some of you are probably bigger than her and not even close to being preggers. How sad!)
4. Gwen is a sweet, talented performer and her husband is too.
5. Sometimes children get two middle names because the parents want to include family names and they don't want to leave one side out of the naming. It's not pretentious its thoughtful.
6. You should all grow up and stop being so cruel. Just say congrats and be done with it.
-gavintiegirl (yes, I am still alive)Peace!
P.S. Oh, and lastly, you are all just jealous that you are not living the fabulous life of GWEN STEFANI ROSSDALE wife to hottie Gavin Rossdale and mother to famous baby KJ Mac Rossdale. LOL

O.K NOW WHO CARE'S ABOUT THAT THEY NAME THEIR KID? THEY ARE ONE OF THE WORLD'S HOTTEST COUPLE'S THEY CAN NAME THEIR CHILD WHATEVER THEY PLEASE!

Gavin Rossdale's middle name is McGregor. That's where it comes from. I also seriously doubt "Kingston" is named after that place in Jamaica. Women are supposed to gain weight when pregnant. I guess you're all anorexic. Last but not least, Gwen Stefani is in her mid thirties, she had this baby because she wanted one. Not to salvage her career, not because she had nothing better to do. You're all judgemental. Too bad you're ugly.

I love Gavin Rossdale!!! And I absolutely adore Gwen Stefani!!! I am so happy for them both!! Their baby is absolutely gorgeous!! I've never seen such an adorable baby...much cuter than Shiloh. Not that Shiloh isn't cute, but I would have thought being the fruit of Brangelina she would be as close to perfect as possible but I think baby Kingston IS perfect!!!! CONGRATS GWEN AND GAVIN ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABY!!!!!!!! Enjoy him, love him, spoil him all you want...who cares what others think! He will turn out just as sweet as his parents. <3
