Stefani names her baby Zuma…

Friday, August 22nd, 2008 by Dawn Summers

Try saying “Zuma Nesta Rock” five times fast — it’s hard. That phonetic flow could be tough to master, let alone live down, for the newborn son of Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani.

The stylish rock-star couple welcomed their second little boy Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles. Little Zuma is the younger brother of two-year-old Kingston, who’s been known to sport a supercool faux-hawk and mingle with the likes of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Am I the only one who thinks celebrities are just fucking with the media when they send out these press releases, but in reality the boy’s name is really John Michael Rossdale?

Baby born to surrogate left in limbo

Gujarat’s Anand town — where the baby was born — has emerged as India’s surrogacy centre after the high-profile case of a woman who gave birth to her own grandchildren on behalf of her British-based daughter in 2004.

Surrogate mothers in Anand charge about 100,000 rupees (2,500 dollars) for a pregnancy and have been approached by a number of overseas Indian and foreign couples who can have a surrogate baby at a fraction of the cost in Western countries.
