25 Most Absurd Celebrity Baby Names: Get in Line, Spurge!

From Apple to North to Spurgeon and many, many others compiled here, celebrities sure pick out some seriously hilarious names for their kids. Not all of them, obvi. But in Hollywood, there sure as heck are a disproportionate percentage of little kid names that are straight up ridic. Check out the 25 most absurd ones given by the most absurd people. 1. North West North West. The spawn of Kimye being named after a direction may be the dumbest thing in human history. At the same time, if she doesn’t grow up to have a signature fragrance called North by North West, this is not a planet we wanna be living on. 2. Kyd Yes, Kyd. David Duchovny mailed that one in worse than his alleged acting on Californication. 3. Kal-El Cage Nicolas Cage named one of his kids Kal-El, a fact not related to him being wasted out of his mind in this mug shot … although that could explain a lot of things. 4. Spurgeon Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald’s baby son Spurgeon is named after Charles Spurgeon, an influential Baptist preacher from the 19th Century. It also is the subject of an awesome page on Urban Dictionary, and will probably make lil’ Spurge glad he’s home schooled later in life. 5. Reign Aston Disick Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick went relatively conventional with their first two children Mason and Penelope. For the third, however, they opted for a name fit for a Lord: REIGN Aston Disick. If only his dad weren’t the deadbeat Lord of six different rehab centers. 6. Royalty Also going the regal route (and the unmarried one): Chris Brown has a baby with a model named Nia Amey. Her name is Royalty. Yes, #ROYALTY. View Slideshow

The Soup: Canceled By E! Somehow Not Canceled in 2012!

Despite uneven ratings and countless personnel changes over the years, E! network stalwart The Soup maintained a small but loyal following for an astonishing 21 seasons. Sadly, it was announced today that E! is pulling the plug on the low-budget reality show clip aggregator, and The Soup will ladle out its last serving of droll Kardashian-bashing on December 18. We imagine some of you are in mourning, and others in shock that the show was still on. It’s hard to overstate The Soup’s influence on other late night basic cable series, as TV personalities such as Daniel Tosh and Chris Hardwick (former host of the spinoff Web Soup) have admitted to borrowing the formats for their Comedy Central series straight from The Soup’s playbook. Despite the popularity of Millennial-friendly host Joel McHale (who co-starred on the critically-adored Community for much of his tenure on The Soup), the show’s ratings had been in steady decline, as the Internet began to offer countless options for reality-based snark. Beginning as Talk Soup in 1991, the show featured hosts Greg Kinnear, John Henson, Hal Sparks and Aisha Tyler before McHale began his 12-year run in 2004. “The Soup has delivered countless laughs and unforgettable episodes, and we are grateful to the talented team’s fearless wit and clever approach week after week,” said E! exec Jeff Olde in a statement. “Joel took the show to new heights for more than a decade, and his irreverent humor and unique brand of comedy as captured so perfectly on The Soup will be missed.”   Here’s hoping Kim and Kanye  make a cameo to laugh at themselves in the finale. Yeah, that’s probably not gonna happen… View Slideshow: 12 TV Shows That Should Be Canceled Like Now
