The Fearless Gary Busey Becomes A Father Again
I have to give a lot of credit to Gary Busey. Being a parent is hard work — physically and mentally. And there’s nothing like a newborn to keep you up at nights. For 2 or 3 years.
So if Gary looks a little tired in this photo, and maybe a little shellshocked, imagine how he feels now that his new son has actually arrived. (The photo was taken back in December, when Busey’s girlfriend Stefanie Sampson would have been about six months pregnant).
But time flies, as the 65 year-old Busey can surely attest, and his and Sampson’s first child, a boy, arrived on February 23. His name is Luke. Not the most-inspired name of the year, granted, but Busey probably has bigger things on his mind. Like whether his AARP membership covers daycare. Besides, as he told the Wall Street Journal’s entertainment/celebrity blog, Speakeasy, Luke sort of named himself. Smart kid, that Luke!
It’s been a slow month for new celebrity baby names, which probably means March will bring us a bumper crop of new names to be amazed by. I hope so. Names like “Luke” tend to make blogs like this a little irrelevant. Bad for business.
In the meantime, if you have any interest in how celebrities come up with those wild and wacky names, you have to visit a wonderful and funny blog that I came across, called Magick Sandwich. Check out their latest post about how celebrities choose baby names to accessorize themselves. I think you’ll like it.
