    Re: gypsytrill

    Well no one knows what the general term for freaking "brown" is which is why we have to say stuff like "Mexican", "Spanish", "Hispanic", or "Latino". There is no set word for it like there is for white, black, asian, middle eastern. God, you're just like those anal retentive assholes who come on here trying to look all smart by yelling at everyone for calling it a "vajayjay" instead of the "proper term". Get over it, seriously. We're posting comments on perezhilton.com, not trying to publish a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

    Poor Hillary Duff is soaking her pillow right now.. Nicole is 100 times better than that wanna be singer a.k.a pop tart… Congrats to both of the parents. They are the most beautiful couple ever after Brangelina!

  6. Cindy says – reply to this


    306

    I'm glad Joel dumped Hillary Duff, seriously she is so ugly with giant teeth hanging outa her mouth, plus she is a talentless skank.. Nicole is seductive, she is yummy and now she is a hot mummy.. Love Nicole and Joel, very cute together.

  8. DJ says – reply to this


    308

    I'm so happy for Joel and Nicole, they are made for each other. The other wanna be singer Hillary Duff is a washed out actress, she has nothing on Nicole, Nicole is extremely gorgeous and very sweet girl. Congratulations to both of them for having a little baby.

    322

    Beautiful original name! I am thrilled for them. And yes you can absolutely leave the hospital the same day. I had my daughter at 3:08am (my first) who had Apgar scores of 9 and 10 (mom's will know what this is, everyone else should Google it). I had the most ridiculously cramped and unairconditioned hospital room and I felt physically great for just having a baby so I asked to go home. They told me to wait until the baby had her first bowel movement. We were home by 5:30pm.

  41. A mind reader says – reply to this


    341

    Re: tess – Sorry Tess but you are WRONG. Nicole comes from the Courtney Love school of "lust". Ever wondered why Francis Bean has a big round face and looks nothing like Kurt or Courtney? Ever wondered why she changed the "note" he left? I feel so sorry for these children. What "mother" would trick a man and trap them for there own selfish gain. It kills the man on the inside. Hope joel doesn't end up the same as Kurt.

    These "women" have no self esteem just see $$$. Nicole has never had a job in her life. Why work when you can have a baby and let the sucked in "father" support them.

    Get a DNA test Joel. See what Nicole is really like. I wouldn't know if she didn't know.

    Last Tess and DJ I knew were wannabe's. FAKE. Keep living your lies, the truth about both of you is OUT.

    Congratulations Nicole! She'll probably have that baby girl so pampered :)

  50. sarah says – reply to this


    350

    I like how people think they have the right to diss someones choice of name for their child… sure if they called her toe rag i get that but there are thousands of names that would be worse.

    and yes kate was orignaly an abreviation but i personally know 6 kates and 4 of them are just Kate the other two are kathryns one of the kates told me that her mum didnt get why people named their kids kathryn and then never referred to their kid by that name.

    see i myself like kate but i dont like kathryn…. so yeah i'd call my kid kate.

    just becouse you havent heard of a name doesnt mean its made up or weird. their are plenty of names that arent common that are centurys old or are common in certain places but not others. i'd rather a name that i didnt share with every other girl myself.

  51. The baby's birth is all that's important people! says – reply to this


    351

    Leave it to the readers of this blog to worry ablout a newborn's race over everything else. To Pam and Aubrey, in an interview before Nicole became famous, she stated that her birth mom had only recently told her who her true birth father was and it wasn't Peter Escovedo, by the way, the Escovedo family, according to Sheila E, are a mixture of Creole, Black and Mexican, they are not purely one thing. Nicole stated while she liked Sheila E, she had no interest in meeting Miss. E's family because they were not related. I don't know who Nicole's birth mother is, Nicole has been silent about that as well. I guess she thinks it is not the public's business, and frankly she's right. However, being nosy, I would still like to know. Anyway congrats Nicole and Joel on having a healthy beautiful baby girl.

    Love the name Harlow! Congrats Nicole!

  56. vero. says – reply to this


    356

    if nicole had a successful and totally natural childbirth, there is no reason for her to stay in the hospital. i'm sure joel made an amazing coach and she did fine! do a little research on husband-coached childbirth and you'll see.

    don't forget - some people have their babies at HOME - not always in the hospital! the baby is better off at home where there are no germs!

    plus, y'all can't believe *everything* you read!!

    357

    disgusting
    he hates her
    the corporal language of Joel in to that bitch its just sad

    the fact that she was able to leave the hospital soon after the baby's birth indicates she had a normal, vaginal delivery…way to go, Nicole…your no wussy! Good for you…and good for baby…congrats!

    & when the kid has Joel as a daddy, no doubt she's going to be georgeous!

  76. j says – reply to this


    376

    at least they didnt name it blanket. and i think its good they brought her home that day, for one, so the hospital didnt have a chance to overdose her on heparin, and so that if they were there for more than a day, it would be inevitable that some paparazzi or some crazy would try to get in to see them. can't wait to see pictures though!

    393

    Not a lot of people will know this unless you're from the UK and know it well, but Harlow is a place in the county of Essex and it's a real shit hole! There are some parts of Essex that are actually quite nice, but it's got a reputation of being the UK centre of sluts, people on welfare, teenage mothers and general losers. Plus, all of you on here who have mentioned that Harlow is the proper pronounciation of HARLOT are correct. I don't think that Joel and Nicole did much research before they chose this name!

    ummmm… duh! yes she is biracial. yes she was adopted but her real father was black and part of Lional's band (her mother was white) so that makes her biracial.
    but anyway congrats to you both….the name I don't like but I bet she is a cutie. best of luck to you guys.

    You guys are idiots. Some people HAVE their baby at home. There's no "two day law!" The only time they keep yo in the hos[ital for a few days is when thereis a problem with the baby or if the mother had a c-section. They did not get any special treatment. I'm very happy for them.
