Elizabeth Hasselbeck Announces Baby Name On T.V.
UPDATE: November 12. Elizabeth Hasselbeck called in to The View today, to announce that her new baby’s name is Taylor Thomas. Wow. That was certainly worth the anticipation.
Taylor, by the way, is one of America’s top ten unisex baby names. It is favored much more by girls than boys, however.
Original Post, November 11. Following in the tackiest of celebrity traditions, in the footsteps of such Barnumizers as NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon and ice skaters Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, View co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck is wringing every ounce of P.R. value from her celebrity birth.
Hasselbeck, 30, and NFL quarterback husband Tim, 29, welcomed their second child on November 9 in Arizona, and in a publicity stunt worthy of E! News’s Samantha Harris, whom Fame Crawler called “the greatest pregnant poser of all time,” Hasselbeck will be calling in to The View on Monday to announce the baby name.
Maybe ABC should take it one step further. Why not set it up like American Idol, and let everyone vote on the baby name, as soon as Hasselbeck announces it? That would make for exciting television!
