Gwen Stefani has her baby!

If reports are to be believed, Gwen Stefani has had her baby. The tot, sex and name unknown at press time (and if Perez Hilton don't know then nobody knows!), was born to the singer this Thursday in California. Not sure if anyone actually cares that Stefani is a mom again, what with all the media frenzy surrounding the Jolie-Pitt twins, but I for one am excited to see Gwen take on motherhood X 2.
Stefani checked into the hospital and delivered the new arrival via C-section. Gwen's other child, Kingston, who she had with husband Gavin Rossdale, was born at the same hospital two years ago via the same procedure. You know what they say--it ain't Hollywood if it ain't a C-section. And they won't seem to let you have a VBAC even if you are interested in a natural birth after you've already had a C.
According to sources, the name of the baby is Zuma. You know, like Zima only with a "U." I seriously doubt that's the kid's name, but given the climate in la-la land these days anything for a name goes. Maybe she'll go hog wild and name the kid Jane or something.
Updated to add: The wee one's name is indeed Zuma -- in fact, it's Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. That's a mouthful, but it's a mouthful with meaning; according to The Baby Name Wizzard, this is a nod to a new trend in naming. And People has the full dish on where the name comes from. Just in case you're really curious.

If she wants to name her child Zimbabwe, what's it matter?
Congrats to the parents and big brother!

I don't think Zuma is that bad. It's kind of exotic. I like it.

There are plenty of Hollywood actresses who have vaginal births, VBAC's are getting increasingly hard to have across the country (blame it on hospital malpractice insurance going up, they don't want to take chances) and remember that her son's name is Kingston, which is strange and wonderful also. This was a rather snarky "Welcome baby!" post, wasn't it?

Zuma is the name of a beach near Malibu, CA. Which makes the names a 'place name' like her older son Kingston.

At least it isn't as bad as Bristol, Track or Trig! Willow and Piper aren't so bad, but can you imagine going through life with one of the other names?
Then we have little Apple Paltrow, Fifi Trixabelle Geldof, and that little kid who's parents named him ? (although he goes by Mark, lol).
Zuma isn't so much an odd name as it is an exotic one, and I think it is nice, especially since there is a reason for the name being chosen.
I agree with ivory; it was a rather snarky "Welcome baby!" post.
Congratulations to the new mama and the rest of the family.
