Madonna?

[lloyd_llewellyn]

came in to say that. they even share the same middle name.

Thanks . I had somehow completely forgotten that piece of Madonna trivia. She's been added. and to think I was going to put Rory Gilmore as a fourth if my internet wasn't acting up. Thanks.

OMG! I used to get in legit fights with my mom over this. She's a single mom. Why the fuck did she name me after a deadbeat? I wanted her last name! I have no connection to this one.

I think it's so cool to be named after your mom.

one of my recent ex-coworkers gave her kids her last name instead of their shit ass father and I always thought it was rad as fuck of her for choosing to do that because I feel like more people should. Said man even tried it not long ago and was saying he wanted the kids to have his last name so "they could benefit from his things" but the kids are old enough to say fuck no we don't want his name.

Then ofc it also turned out he (TRIGGER WARNING: CSA)[Spoiler (click to open)]had been showering with the son (who was around 8 at the time) and touching him. There was no hard evidence so he was never convicted but he's not allowed to be alone with the kids without mom or a court appointed person there. Not that it matters, he fucked off and hasn't tried contacting the mom/kids since

Uuuuuh so he’s allowed supervised visits with the Son he did this to??!

Um no ! How is that even appropriate!

[callonme_84]

[anderbobo]

She was very present in that iconic Peta attack/dinner hidden video.

Beyonce doesn't look like either of her parents, I don't understand it.

[pikapika217]

Yes she does LOL

[shayme]

She looks just like Mama Tina. Especially as she ages.

[blakegrl]

I think she looks like both of her parents.

[jemgirl90]

No. I've never noticed the extra e before, and neither has auto-correct. Very Anne with an E vibes. I bet even now, at least half of her mail and checks have the traditional spelling.
