Kate Hudson Names Her Baby Bingham!

Kate Hudson Names Her Baby Bingham!

Five days after welcoming a darling baby boy, Kate Hudson and fiance Matt Bellamy have revealed the name of their new arrival.

"So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham 'Bing' Hawn Bellamy. Born 7Ib 12Oz, on 9th July," the Muse rocker twittered on July 14. "Mum and baby are strong and healthy. Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!"

And those speculating where the unique name came from didn't have to wait long. Bellamy revealed their inspiration for baby Bing's moniker a few hours later. (And, no, it's not after Friends character Chandler Bing or the Internet search engine!)

"For those wondering, Bingham is my mum's maiden name and Bing Russell was Kurt's dad," he wrote. "Family connections all round!"

Bing is the first child for Bellamy, 33, and the second for Hudson, 32. His older brother, 7-year-old Ryder, is Kate's son with her ex-husband Chris Robinson.

"Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's going on in the 'hood."

In that line lays the crux of John Singleton's 1991 film "Boyz N the Hood." Delivered by Ice Cube's character, Doughboy, those words ring as true today, 20 years later, as they did when the film first hit theaters. Released on July 12 of that year, "Boyz N the Hood" was a gritty, cinematic depiction of the lives of three young African-American men growing up in inner-city Los Angeles. On Wednesday's (July 13) "RapFix Live," Ice Cube broke down the cultural significance of the film that launched his acting career.

"When we first did the movie 'Boyz N the Hood,' we felt like we was teaching America about a part of itself that they don't see," he explained. "We was teaching you about people like Doughboy and why he is the way he is."

But while Cube's Doughboy was an unapologetic gangster who couldn't see a way out of the 'hood and the gang culture that consumed him, his half-brother Ricky Baker (Morris Chestnut) used football as a means to earn a college scholarship that might ultimately take him out of the ghetto. Their friend Tre, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., struggled to balance the life lessons that his father (Laurence Fishburne) passed onto him with the reality of the streets. And for Cube, the circumstances addressed in the movie still ring true after two decades.

"The movie holds up. The movie had been used as a tool to teach people about the 'hood that they may not know about," he said. "I think the movie is a definite classic, it definitely holds up, it's definitely as potent today as it was back then. The message is definitely as clear today and needed as it was back then."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony: It's Over!


In surprising news, it's over for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, who announced today that they will be divorcing after seven years of marriage.

"We have decided to end our marriage," they said in a statement.

"This has been a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved," the couple continues, "and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."

Jennifer and Marc

No reason was cited for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's split.

Lopez, 41, and Anthony, 42, wed in June 2004 in a casual and secret ceremony at Lopez's Beverly Hills home, then renewed their vows last year.

They have two children, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.

It will be Marc's second divorce and J. Lo's third. She was previously married to Ojani Noa, who she is still skirmishing with legally, and Cris Judd.

We wish the couple the best as they navigate through this difficult stretch, and will continue to update you with any additional information ...
