Houses In Malibu, Villas On Lake Como, Multiple Cars, Boutique Production Companies

How come celebrities like to wait several days before announcing their babies’ names to their fans?

Singer Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony released birth announcements without names attached. Their newborn twins were later named Max and Emme.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Amanda Peet are two other celebrities who initially released birth announcements without names attached—also, perhaps, because of the grueling preparation that apparently goes in to uttering such a detail.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s delay in announcing the name of son James, born in 2002, led some outlets to erroneously report that the child was named David.

Another window into this behavior came a few weeks after the birth of Britney Spears’ second son, Jayden James, whose name was not immediately announced after his birth.

Remember, these are celebrities. They have nothing—nothing!—to themselves, aside from their houses in Malibu, villas on Lake Como, multiple Hella-equipped cars, boutique production companies or record labels and the private VIP booths at their favorite restaurants. Oh, I forgot their private planes. Other than that, these people have absolutely nada to call their own.
