Claudia Schiffer Named Her Baby “Cosima Violet Vaughn Drummond”
by Kavy on May.25, 2010, under Baby, Model
Claudia Schiffer has named her baby Cosima Violet Vaughn Drummond.
The German supermodel gave birth to her new daughter on May 14 at London’s Portland Hospital and now she and her film producer husband Matthew Vaughn have decided on a moniker for their new arrival.
Claudia’s publicist told Welt Online: “Her name is Cosima Violet Vaughn Drummond. Both mother and child are fine.”
Claudia and Cosima have now left hospital and are back at home.
The couple – who have two other children, seven-year-old son Caspar and five-year-old daughter Clementine – wanted to wait until “the whole family met the newborn” before they announced her name to the world.
Cosima is an Italian name derived from the Greek word kosmos which means “order or decency”. In the 2007 book ‘The Baby Names Bible’, written by Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz, it was described as a fashionable name for the daughters of members of high society in the UK.
Although she lives in England, Claudia recently revealed she wants to spend some time in her native Germany with her family when Matthew is working on the new ‘X-Men’ movie.
The catwalk beauty – who married Matthew in 2002 – said: “I would like to move to Berlin with Matthew and the kids for a few months. If we’re lucky he’ll be shooting some of ‘X-Men’ in Berlin. I would love that. Berlin is like being abroad in Germany. It’s German, but not provincial. Everyone loves it. My friends often tell me how very German I still am.”

Halle Berry Is “proud” For Rihanna’s Fight To Free Herself
by Alice on Nov.21, 2009, under Actress

The ‘X-Men’ actress – who has previously spoken about the abuse she and her mother suffered at the hands of their partners – is relieved the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker ended her relationship with Chris Brown after he assaulted her in February.
She said: “Any time a woman frees herself from that kind of bondage and that kind of situation I’m proud.”
Meanwhile, Halle has denied she and long-term boyfriend Gabriel Aubry – with whom she has 19-month-old daughter Nahla – are planning to have another child, insisting she is too busy with working on her new perfume range.
When asked if she was contemplating having another baby, she told US TV show ‘Access Hollywood’: “Not my real baby, but my career baby and it’s called Pure Orchid. I have to say it’s pretty.”
Halle recently admitted she used to be attracted to abusive men because she regularly saw her father attacking her mother when she was growing up.
She said: “My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it.
“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”
However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.

David Beckham In Wolverine Look
by cyan on Oct.29, 2009, under Football
The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player quashed speculation he has grown a beard out of superstition because his team have reached the play-offs, and has revealed the real reason is because he wants to dress as the mutant Marvel superhero – played by Hugh Jackman in the ‘X-Men’ films – for Halloween.
The 34-year-old sportsman – who has sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and four-year-old Cruz with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – said: “Halloween is coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from ‘X-Men’. It’s not some play-off ritual. I’m just lazy and can’t be bothered to shave. And everybody keeps telling me to cut it and I’m stubborn.”
While David is proud of his beard, he recently topped a poll for having the worst facial hair in showbiz.
Siobhan McDermott – head buyer of feelunique.com, who commissioned the poll – said: “Bad facial hair can be disastrous for even the best looking men.”
Although David’s facial growth has been met with disapproval, he has received support from the Beard Liberation Front.
The group’s organiser Keith Flett said: “He’s got a retro beard, if you look at it, it’s almost like mutton chops. It’s the kind of stuff soccer players had in the 70s. It’s an interesting choice because he could have gone for the designer style beard that is trendy and fashionable.”
