BREAKING! Rihanna's And A$AP's Riot!

By

Rihanna, the former musician turned make-up and lifestyle mogul - I said what I said and until she drops another goddamn album, which will be never, this designation stays - recently popped a squat and had her second baby with her husband A$AP Rocky after being pregnant for what seemed like ten thousand years (or more) (and at times looking so humongous, I thought she was carrying an entire litter of crotch critters). But one thing's remained a mystery: the baby's name. Until now. 

Drumroll, please, because RZA (pictured above and looking cute as a button) can now call his wee little brother Riot. So RZA and Riot. Truthfully, I was never into the name RZA - how the hell do you pronounce that? - which is a "tribute," supposedly, to Wu Tang Clan rapper Robert Fitzgerald Digs, and I'm not all that sure how I feel about Riot. How does one contend with this name at, let's say, the grocery store? You know, when he reaches the toddler stage, runs off for the candy aisle and you have to call out "Riot!" in order to find him. 

And, yes, I know. little Riot will never once see the likes of a Kroger for the entirety of his life - which is for the poors, and besides, Cook shops for food - but let's say the family is at The Met Ball and the little fuck trophy runs off and gets lost. Will calling out "Riot!" amidst all the fashionistas and Kuntrashians play out well? Honestly, they should have named the kid "Fire" or "Help" or "Fuck Me." Imagine. Screaming out "Fire!" or "Help!" or "Fuck Me!" every time you have to find your cherub in a crowd at the grocery store. Good times. 


Still, Riot is not the most annoying celebrity baby name out there. Not by a long shot. Many of us rolled our eyes when Gwyneth Paltrow - pictured above being down with the brown - named her kid Apple (what were the other food choices? Kumquat? Daddy's Dick Cheese?), but since then, the competition for the most annoying celebrity baby name has been fierce. They include Kal-El, the child of Nicholas Cage; Pilot Inspecktor, of Jason Lee; X Æ A-12, of Elon Musk; and Bear Blu, of Alicia Silverstone. They're all fairly terrible, and even manage to make Moon Unit look, if not passe, at least seriously meh. By the way, want to feel old? Moon Unit is 55!


Still, no celebrity baby names top those of Nick Cannon's raw dog sprogs. I'm serious. You just can't top the likes of Zillion Heir or Onyx Ice or Rise Messiah or Beautiful Zeppelin or Zion Mixolydian or the comparably subtle Zen. So live it up, li'l Riot. You're not the most annoying after all.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
