Oct 15 2007Anthony Kiedis thinks he’s a forest creature

Anthony Kiedis (the lead singer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers) and his girlfriend Heather Christie gave birth to their son last week. The child’s name is Everly Bear. He was named after Anthony’s favorite band the Everly Brothers. As for the bear part, it was a little part mom and a little part, well, crazy. People has the details:
"The mama came up with Bear," Kiedis says. "That made sense to me because he's from me and I feel like I'm part of the bear clan, and I think it's nice to have a little bit of earth in your name."
Whoa, whoa, whoa. If the ground rules for naming your kid are using your favorite band and what animal you think you are, I am so on board. As soon as I find an Amazon woman whose womb is capable of nurturing my super-child, I’ve got the perfect name: Dethklok Triceratops. Best name ever, I know. It works on so many levels because I’m part giant, horned thunder-lizard and Dethklok rules. The only way this could backfire is if my son wants to play the oboe instead of doing something awesome like drive a tank - at age six. You're damn right I'm going to let him. I can't drive and work the cannon. Didn't your father teach you how to operate a tank? No? He was sober? Fair enough.

Anthony Kiedis isn't gay??? That's the shocker. I'm still puzzled about how he got his "wife" pregnant by taking Flea up his ass.

I just like the way he refers to his girlfriend as "the mama". What a tard. BTW, I saw the Peppers in Oakland in 90 back before they were Tards. Too bad the turned into such TARDS!!!
Tard is short for reTard. In case any of you are CURRENT RHCP fans, and are most likely Tards yourselves, thought I would spell that out fer ya, thank me later.

Huh...interesting, I totally thought he was queer too. He used to be kind of hot, back in his prime, with his long, flowing hair and sculpted bod...SUCK MY KISS!!! Now he's just yucky and freaky looking.
20. Zania - October 15, 2007 4:47 PM
They were good until Kiedis got completely hooked on heroin. Then they sucked, and then he "recovered" and they started putting out their albums filled with mush-headed ballads. Heroin is for losers. First they're moody addicted losers, then they get treatment and become clean and shiny losers.
21. D. Richards - October 15, 2007 4:47 PM
Kiedis is still alive? The Chili-Peppers are kind of beating-a dead horse. Every single mentions California. Is that supposed to make a difference? Wow, CA, man. "Californication", "Dani California"? We get it, you're almost forty-five and you're from CA. Great.

Whatever he's doing with this girlfriend, he's doing in addition to having daily hineysex with Flea. The only real question is whether they do ATM every time, or just on special occasions.

Nice...some people just should not reproduce. Can't wait to see how the kid turns out. Probably be an upstanding citizen of our society, like an accountant or a teacher, I'm sure.

34. sassy - October 15, 2007 5:40 PM
dude. i dare anyone here to read Scar Tissue and then tell me that Kiedis isn't a genius/sex symbol. this man has been through everything. and did we really expect him and his 18 year old girlfriend to name their child Jonathan. Come on. Its better than Pilot Inspektor!

Let me say this again: Last time I checked, dudes couldn't get pregnant, so they couldn't give birth. Has anything changed or it's just that the politically correct crowd is finally takin' over the universe? People, stop saying "so-and-so and HIS wife ARE pregnat! Such imbecils!
39. C - October 15, 2007 6:07 PM
Holy crap! His girlfriend is just 18?!? He's gotta be ~40, right? That's just wrong in and of itself! She must have some serious issues.
Sassy (#34), so he is a genious because he sung (and possibly wrote/co-wrote) scar tissue? Its about heroine use/addiction right, like all of the "good" songs that RHCP made? You can enjoy RHCP and their music if you like...I personally don't...but calling a herione addict a "genius" in this case seems to be a stretch. Then again, I suppose that depends upon your own personal reference. I'm sure that Britney's kids will think she is a genius when they are 6-7 years old too.

Wait a minute folks - the most astonishing thing about this post is that Anthony Kiedis' favorite band is the Everly Brothers. Shocking!! And has anyone told him that they've split up?
51. Big Dumb Oaf - October 15, 2007 7:10 PM
I looked that pic and I see a male Britney Spears, really, look at the eyes and mouth! I wonder if he's gonna show his bare crotch getting out of a car like Britney showed her bear and then have his kid taken away?
52. MrsP - October 15, 2007 7:12 PM
Anthony, Mrs. Grizzly called, she wants her baby back!!
53. Hollywood Agent - October 15, 2007 7:26 PM
Anyone that names their child after the Everly Brothers must be so positive that their kid is the Anti-Christ that they just don't give a shit.

Oh jesus some of you just don't have a clue do you...first off, his girlfriend Heather is 20...second #39 (you GENIOUS,you...try proofreading) I'd be willing to bet that 90% of all musicians have at some point tried drugs or battled a drug addiction...so unless all you listen to is DC Talk... all your fav. bands are probably doing lines and drinking in excess every night...anyways, the chili's are still hella better than...oh I don't know...Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and all the rest of those douche fucks out there.
59. rxqueen - October 15, 2007 9:55 PM
Anthony Kiedis rocks.
He can name his kids whatever he wants.
He is just that awesome.

Naw he's too beefy to be a heroin addict..oh oh did i say Anthony was beefy, oh shit i must be gay, OK note to self...discuss with therapist the possibility i'm gay because Anthony seems "muscular "to me...ie too muscular to be a heroin addict.....hmmmm well maybe his handlers feed him well so he doesn't, "look" like a heroin addict. So he's probly just a poser addict...ie. like most holllywood assholes seeking attention fo one sort or another...yes i'm drunk.

65. C - October 16, 2007 12:03 AM
#58 WOW....yeah, my typo in a stupid post really compares to naming a kid Everly Bear!!! Yeah, I'm the one without a clue, huh? Oh...and a 45 year old with a 20 year old makes it so much better, doesn't it?!? You're probably right about the drugs, etc. that musicians do/try. I wouldn't exactly call that a "revelation" though and who gives a crap about that anyway.
Anthony K. MAY be a smart, articulate, sophisticated person for all we know, but I highly doubt it and I certainly wouldn't call him a genius. Yes, his heroine use factors in to that assessment...because its take a special kind of stupidity to stick a needle in your veins (REPEATEDLY) and think "this is just a recreational thing." In addition, every interview I have seen of A.K. makes me think that #51 may be on to something.

He's part Indian, folks. For First Nations people, being part of the "bear clan" is similar to being Scottish and being part of the "MacDonald" clan (in a sense). It's simply a nod to his roots. Kind of thoughtful, I think.

he's from grand rapids, mi. he's no more "native american" than I am (which is not at all). funny how white people will claim these things to be more "earthy" and "sensitive", and to clear up that white guilt! my grandmother used to tell me that I have "indian" blood in me from my great-great-great uncle or something. what a line of shit. face it, the dude's not living on a reservation, and I bet you that absolutely none of his money ends up anywhere near a reservation, let alone near a real native american. fuck him and his weak candy pop band.

78. Banquo - October 16, 2007 9:51 AM
Anthony Kiedis,..building a career off a speech impediment and the exact same dissident chord change for every song.
People who like Anthony Kiedis are almost always pop hard rock pretend wannabees and almost never musiscians. (whereas flea,..exact opposite)
The guy has the IQ of a grapenut. Saw him at a show once, he walked by and it smelled like a full wet garbage truck covered in vomit on a hot day in the Bronx, and he hadn't even gone on stage yet. It's called SOAP, even poor people usually have the common decency to use it.
If I just came into the world and found out that Anthony Kiedis was my dad, I'd hang myself with the umbilical cord. Though I must admit, if I'm ever feeling down I just google his name and look at the images,..that "Doy look at me I'm spechul!! look on his face always cracks me up. So I guess everyone DOES have a purpose in life.
79. Banquo - October 16, 2007 10:13 AM
69 - 1/8th blackfoot here.
Kiedis is a spotlight whore,..just like any other celeb. And having some cool little "niche" is his "Look at me, I'm deep and misunderstood and Different" thing. ALL Celebrities embrace their Race/religion/sexual pref. etc.. to get more spotlight exposure.
Keides has never made any contribution to Native American Society other than to make it look less intelligent, he just touts it because he can use it to sell himself using it as a trend tool.
He's a conformist tard monkey, if it came out that Nazi's were the cool people you'd see him up there is his little swastika armbands and he'd grow a Hitler stache.
Cashing in on his almost non-existant link to a native American ancestory is just a pretty converation topic for him, just like when he adopted Kabahlah.
He might as well just put a big shirt on that says "Look I'm SOOO different!! Like me now!!" (someone will have to show him how to put it on so the words are on the outside though.
80. Native American Female - October 16, 2007 10:30 AM
Well I see Most of you know nothing about Native Americans.
Clans are part of the Native American Culture. There are many clans.
and yes Bear is one of them. He should actually find out and not just think, that if he really is Native American.
I myself am Native American,and I am Turtle Clan.
Also I don't know what Grand Rapids Mi, has to do with not being Native. There are a lot of native people living in GR. Shit I'm from GR. There are over 6 Tribes from MI that are Federal Recognized.
OOhh and by the way no ALL Native Americans live on Reservations, what a stereotype
I agree with YeahYeah this blog is embarrassing and ignorant.
81. Auntie Kryst - October 16, 2007 11:36 AM

just you fuckers out there that think that by listening to them doesnt mean you dont know about "non-mainstream" bands youre wrong.
and he is native american, so why shouldnt he embrace it if he feels that he should?
its the opposite of jessica alba denying shes hispanic, fuck that bitch.
everyone is ignorant in this blog and doesnt really give a shit about real issues anyway

I'm sure Anthony kiedis really gives two f**ks what some sad little losers think of him when he's rollling in his millions. And oh yeah, even Everly B is more famous and rich than you losers and he's only a few weeeks old. and this is coming from a non-chili fan.
