Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka Welcome Baby Girl
Somtimes, there is despairingly little to say about some celebrity births. And so it is with newborn Francesca Nora Bateman. Little Francesa (the name is simply the Italian, feminine version of the Latin name Franciscus, which means, roughly, “from France,”) arrived with minimal fanfare on October 28. Mom and Dad, as the headline indicates, are the actors Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka. You probably know Bateman from Fox’s Arrested Development, and perhaps you know Amanda Anka from occasional appearances on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Or not.
In its annoucement of the birth, People had so little to say that they stuffed the story with sentences like “the couple live in Los Angeles, close to Bateman’s sister, Justine, who starred in the 80’s sitcom Family Ties.”
The only other thing of note in this fodder for a slow celebrity news day is the fact that Amanda Anka is the daughter of celebrated (by some) lounge crooner Paul Anka.
Where is Lindsay Lohan when you need her?
