Alice may be a better bet than North, but really, anything could win

Why the royal couple picked the names George Alexander Louis for their son

While cynics do their best to pretend to ignore the royal birth, the rest of the twittersphere erupts.

The first person to tweet the news was freelance photographer Jesal Parshotam, who was staking out one of the hospital’s many entrances when two cars pulled up and Kate and William quickly got out.

Well, not to brag, but our resident royal watcher picked that name months ago

I love William Shatner’s “musical” performances. I was happy to see him devote some pages in his autobiography to his famous “Rocket Man” rendition. He’s very coy about whether or not he seriously thought this was a good performance, but he accurately sums up the audience’s reaction: they were stunned, wondering if he’d lost his mind. Shatner is a complete ham, and the good side of being a ham is that he gives his all, no matter what he’s doing. That’s why his insane talk-singing is so mesmerizing: like the audience for “Rocket Man,” we’re constantly wondering if he’s serious, if he will at any point betray any knowledge that this is ridiculous. He never does. Not for a second.
