May 8 2008Minnie Driver hints at the father of her baby
Minnie Driver hinted at who the father of her child might be to The Independent and denied rumors that it's San Francisco musician Craig Zolezzi. Also, judging by her information, the father is not Criss Angel. Great, so I built this bunker for nothing. Sonofa... :
The only clues Driver will offer about the identity of her "baby daddy" are that he is English, and "sort of in the same business", and that they have evaded detection because "he's really busy, like me". She is so far undecided whether to have her baby in England or the US: "A big part of me wants my child to be English. My family are here and I'm sure I'll move back here one day. It's just that my work, and the opportunities I've had, have been so varied and wonderful in the States that I've just followed my nose really.
Holy shit. It's Eddie Izzard. You heard it here first*. And before the comment board fills up with a hundred messages from a gaggle of homophobes with broadband, Eddie Izzard is 100% straight - despite all the cross dressing. According to his Wikipedia bio, he considers himself a "male lesbian" which is interesting because I consider myself a "female lesbian but with a penis, y chromosome and an Adam's apple chiseled from steel."
*Or 1,547th.

Careful Fish, Eddie Izzard is my comedic hero. I would have his baby.

1st?

Eddie HIMSELF has said he is straight. Psh. Doesn't stop the fact that he dresses better than most women AND men.

I think it's Simon Cowell...
5. Smells like Izzard - May 8, 2008 11:02 AM
I sure it's Pete Dougherty.....we haven't seen him in the tabloids lately. Unless he's dead. Hmmm....

No one really cares do they?

I've loved Eddie Izzard ever since I saw his cross-dressed comedy show where he did the, "But have you a flag?" joke.
Love that guy!
9. Anexio - May 8, 2008 11:06 AM
I bet it's the same guy that's banging Amy Winehouse.
It takes a special man to fuck troglodytes.
OUT!
10. FRIST!!! - May 8, 2008 11:21 AM
Why in the fuck would anyone care who the father of her bastard child is???
I think she should name it Bus..
11. Fumus - May 8, 2008 11:25 AM
Lies we all know the baby's daddy is Criss Angel.
12. hendero - May 8, 2008 11:29 AM
Surely it's Mickey?
13. havoc - May 8, 2008 11:34 AM
Either way, its going to have the massive head and jowls......

oh my god you could actually be right superfish. how cool if eddie had a baby?! i used to really fancy him and still do a little but i wish he'd go back and stick to comedy. he's gone a bit up his own arse with the ego lately. but still love eddie. cake or death?

RE photo #5: How cool is that?!? Minnie Driver knows the mayor from Monopoly!

17. What is That Discusting Thing on Her Neck - May 8, 2008 11:55 AM
This is almost as exciting as trying to figuare out if that thing around her neck is an ugly tattoo or a necklace given to her by someone that hates her very much.
18. What is That Disgusting Thing on Her Neck - May 8, 2008 12:04 PM
Sorry about the typos, but I'm a stupid blimey from UK and I went to a pub last night, and well you know the rest of story.
figuare=figure in our country, I think. Oh well, as you know, we Limeys spell everything wrong in England anyway.
19. My guess - May 8, 2008 12:11 PM
My money's on KEITH RICHARDS!!
And you little shithole Amy at #19, that's you isn't is winehouse? anything for a fix,I guess
20. Ted from LA - May 8, 2008 12:23 PM
I'm the father. I got really fucked up on wine one night and thought she looked good. Imagine my surprise the next morning. I had to chew off my arm just to get out of her bed and not wake her.
21. Elliot_Spitz_On_Her - May 8, 2008 12:23 PM
My money's on a turkey baster and a mouthful of semen.
22. mamadough - May 8, 2008 12:23 PM
my guess is that it's the same guy who donated sperm to melissa etheridge and her carpet muncher companion, what the fuck was that guy's name again?.....
23. Jason - May 8, 2008 12:30 PM
How the hell can her pinky be so far from her other fingers when she's waving? I can't even pull mine that far over.
My hand hurts now.
24. Jacks - 54 - May 8, 2008 12:50 PM
LMAO 24. Jason
Dude, its the angle
25. antoine - May 8, 2008 1:04 PM
I'm her babies daddy!
26. craigj - May 8, 2008 1:11 PM
I love pregger boobs!!! (insert motorboat noises ...)
27. Deva - May 8, 2008 1:22 PM
Minne Driver still slumming in Hollywood? Having a baby because it's trendy? I wonder if she's over Matt Damon yet?
28. LL - May 8, 2008 1:27 PM
As long as it's anybody but Douchebag Magicky Douchenozzle "Too Much Jewelry" Doucheington or Donald Trump, cool.
Maybe it's a royal. Will? Harry? Charles? Camilla? She said "sorta in the same business." The royals exist purely for entertainment, so it could happen...
29. Grunion - May 8, 2008 2:01 PM
Blimey, I told that twat to keep her bloody yap zipped up !
30. Jason - May 8, 2008 2:03 PM
My hand still hurts. I was taking that challenge pretty seriously.

34. mOZ - May 8, 2008 2:50 PM
OMG! Eddie?!?!
Well, I love Eddie Izzard, pretty sure a bit too much, and I'm happy if she is.
He needs a kid, i think.
I'd do it too if given the opportunity.
CAKE? OR DEATH?
we're gonna run out of cake at this rate!
I love you Eddie, GOOD LUCK if it's true. Congratulations! :)
35. mOZ - May 8, 2008 2:58 PM
clarification from my earlier post: (is it necessary?)
i'm happy if she is pregnant AND
i'd do it too if given the chance (hook it up in style like that with Eddie. Hey, I'm not quite 30, ok? )
36. spock - May 8, 2008 3:07 PM
Live long and prosper indeed
37. blugardenia - May 8, 2008 3:19 PM
we'll find out in time. i've never seen her prettier. gotta love that pregger glow :)
38. emily - May 8, 2008 3:39 PM
I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD! Oh, I would surely have his baby. It would be adorable and funny in a Monty Python-kind of way that only smart people who like Monty Python would get.
39. bosendorfer - May 8, 2008 4:45 PM
with respect, this is only marginally more interesting than neve campbell's career-ending deformed nipples.
why are we obsessing over C and D-listers these days, Superfish? this person/"actress"/woman was dumped on oprah on national television in absentia in such a jerry springeresque fashion.
she's hardly a public figure -- more of an indie-flick never-was and she should be released from our collective orbit. please, you're better than this. i'd almost encourage another brooke hogan post over this, and that's scraping the bottom, guy(s).
oy.
40. Moz - May 8, 2008 4:54 PM
to abover poster:
well, i think you're wrong, but that's beside the point.
who i care about, and LOVE, is Eddie Izzard a.k.a. God.
I'd pop some kids out for him any year.
anyhow. check eddie out; if you're not too jaded, even if you are, you'll love him! Dammit.
so, yeah.
:p
Love you Eddie!
(Is it wrong that this post has had me fantasizing over Eddie all day? weird? one-to-two word answers only, please.)

I think you're right. She is very pretty. I've always liked her, because she's always seemed so sweet... and, sort of lost -- like all the rest of us. sweet girl.
yeah, i'm sure it'll come out soon... but, either way,
GOOD LUCK MINNIE! :)
(and you, too, Eddie, if it's true... you hawt thing ;))

bosendorfer
48. Famous Plastic - May 8, 2008 5:29 PM
Minnie wishes that she was carrying Eddie Jr. I sure as hell do! Love him.

dear bosendorfer,
whew. thank goodness! do you know bosie douglas, by chance? your name reminded me of him...
you're right, our time on this carousel is limited. with that in mind, i'm off! to do my non-wrong but slightly weird fantasizing.
yours,
Moz

Her husband must be very handsome I think.She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at milllionaire&celeb datingsite --
-"AffluentBachelors.com"---- last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.
51. dephs - May 10, 2008 12:24 AM
it's funny not many people have three potential baby daddies. where's maury when you need him?

Damn. Superficial guy totally pre-emptively burned all you homophobes out there. What next? An attack on the racists and anti-semites?

55. MICHELE M - July 31, 2008 11:07 AM
I am sure it's criss angel's baby and probably every other baby that was born this past year in hollywood and las vegas.
*In case no one it getting it...he's a man hore...a hot man hore none the less.
If the baby magically apprears across the room while attempting to leave the never ending black hole known as Minnie Driver's southern comfort (hint, hint) then we will definitely know it's criss's kid.
