Samantha Harris Baby Arrives, Right On Cue
Samantha Harris, co-host of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and correspondent for E! News, made a career of motherhood even before she became a mother.
She gushed about her upcoming baby to E! Online. She blogged about her pregnancy in The Bump Report for Fitness Magazine. ABC turned the speculation about her Dancing with the Stars replacement into a tease for tonight’s show. All in all, the Samantha Harris baby show has been a carefully choreographed P.R. event.
It has not gone unnoticed.
Fame Crawler called her “the greatest pregnant poser of all time.”
So what now? Samantha Harris, 33, gave birth to a baby girl in Los Angeles on September 23. The newborn is the first child for Harris and her husband, Michael Hess. And after all the hoopla, they named her Josselyn Sydney, which is a bit of a letdown for a celebrity baby name.
There are some names where you can play around with the original spelling and it looks cool. Jocelyn is not one of them. ‘Josselyn’ just looks like you can’t spell. But at least it’s not as bad as how actress A. J. Langer and the Earl of Devon mangled Jocelyn earlier this year. They came up with ’Joscelyn.’ That looks like they’d been drinking when they filled out the birth registration.Â

I honestly don’t think there is anything wrong with changing around the spelling of traditional names. I prefer the spelling of Josselyn the way they did it. Jocelyn looks too much like Joyce. It’s a way to make your name unique when it it slightly on the traditional side. I don’t think either one of them butchered it.
Samantha Harris is so annoying in dwts. The questions she asks and comments she says are so irrelevant
