Jillette names daughter Moxie CrimeFighter

 

NEW YORK (AP) -- Comedian/magician Penn Jillette's latest stunt did not involve his usual sidekick, Teller: He became the father of a baby girl.

 

Jillette, 50, and his wife Emily, 39, welcomed Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette on Friday, according to publicist Glenn Schwartz. It was the first child for the couple, who married last year.

 

"We chose her middle name because when she's pulled over for speeding she can say, `But officer, we're on the same side,'" Jillette explained. "`My middle name is CrimeFighter.'"

 

The typically mute Teller had no comment on the new arrival.

 

Penn & Teller currently star in their own series on Showtime, and headline nightly in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

 

Well.. CrimeFighter is a unique middle name

Didn't Jonathin Davis name his kid "pirate"?

 

Weird names are always fun.

He's got a bit to go before he can match Zappa.

Why do celebrities have to show of their "kooky" and "eccentric" side by sadding their kids with such stupid names? First Gwyneth Paltrow names her kid Apple and now this.

My parents weren't rich.

People like the Arquettes, or Paltrow, or Bruce Willis & Demi Moore, stick their kids with stupid names because they're egocentric and whatnot. Penn Jillette is just an attention whore who digs the publicity. Two entirely different reasons, IMHO.

What's your first name?

 

I think he said his name was Rigel Brigsby, but I don't know if he was being serious or not.

Eugene (my full first name) was my paternal grandfather's name, and my maternal grandfather's name was Arthur Simmons Shaffer. First name from one, middle name from the other. It's a coincidence. Like in Office Space when the guy's named Michael Bolton

I believe you, but on the other hand, KISS had been so established well enough before you were born that your parents should have known what they were getting into

Not really. Agent probably predates KISS.

You people are too gullible.

 

My legal name is quite seriously Eugene Simmons Silverman. My nom de plume is something I've been using since childhood. Understandably, I think. Having a celebrity name can be really irritating, but it happens. You think there's only one Keith Richards in the world?

What's even funnier is Gene Simmons is actually named Chaim Witz, so you're only sharing his stage name.

Fuck! It's Elvis!

 

Good sample.
