And Finally

MIA’s son shall not be known as Edgar Bronfman Jr Jr Jr

The name of MIA’s new baby, which seems to be strangely preoccupying some in the gossip website community, is – according to one such site, TMZ, who claim to have got a copy of the child’s birth certificate – Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.

As you’ll remember, there was much gossip shortly after MIA gave birth that her child was to be called Ickitt, though she went online to deny those reports and questioned, quite rightly, why it was really anyone’s business as to what he child was called. Though given we’re now reporting on this TMZ story, I’m not sure why we’re getting all high and mighty about MIA Junior’s privacy.

The newborn’s surname caused a little stir in the blogosphere yesterday given that it confirmed that the baby boy’s grandfather is Warner Music chief Edgar Bronfman Jr. Though given MIA’s engagement to Bronfman’s son Benjamin Brewer was widely reported last June – including here in the CMU Daily – I’m not sure that was really all that much of a surprise.
