By taking their wives’ last names.
There’s a slow-growing trend for men to take their spouses’ last names.
Douglas County Clerk Tom Cavanaugh said “Men who think about it are quickly discouraged either by the process or the public reaction.”
That reaction is the product of our roots as a patriarchal society and several hundred years of history, said Cleveland Evans, a member of the American Name Society and a psychology professor at Bellevue University.
No local, state or national agency records the instances, but anecdotal evidence nationwide indicates it’s more common, said Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer and University of Michigan professor of law.
Me thinks this has little to do with romance or being submissive, instead it’s just men taking a female’s name that’s shorter and easier to spell than your own. Shit. I know that’s the reason I wanna get married. My last name’s kinda weird. Explains a lot, I’m sure.

“It’s weird, because I’m so in love with David right now. I’m starting to really appreciate how ‘there’ he is for me. But in any relationship, there are times that you’re disconnected. You can see how relationships end if you don’t work through it.”
He may have been working as a DJ on his 28th birthday, but at least Nick Cannon has wife Mariah Carey by his side. The pop diva fetes her hubby with a cake Tuesday during a celebratory night out at Las Vegas hotspot Pure Nightclub.
Audrina Patridge and her ceiling eyes will appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show today to clear up the rumors with Lauren Conrad allegedly hooking up with Justin Bobby. Hilarious! You know Ellen doesn’t give a dildo.
It’s unclear what Audrina wants her appearance on Ellen to accomplish. All she’s doing is fueling rumors, making L.C. sound very suspect.
Audrina says L.C.,
“hung up on me and that was my way of making an effort and asking her. I never accused anymore. I just straight-out asked them if they did it or not, and I don’t know what to believe.”
Although Lauren says the rumor is false, when Audrina questioned Bobby she says he “kind of avoided the whole question and turned it back on [ her] like a typical guy.” - And that’s why she loves him, she can’t keep her hands off of douche bag peen!
She continued, “Neither of them have really talked to me or made an effort, so I really don’t know what to believe. I don’t want to believe it. We’re kind of in a rut right now, and I’m just trying to decide what to do,” Patridge went on.
“I’m a big part of the show, so you know, we’re filming until December and then after that, you know, we’ll see.”
I’m beginning to wonder why Audrina would even care if L.C. hooked up with JB. He ain’t no prize, honey! But he must be packin’ heat. There’s got to be something more than what meets the eye with Justin, I hope. But still.
It would be ridiculously pathetic for L.C. to hookup with Justin. I’m shocked Audrina would ask her about it to begin with. Audrina’s insecure. Heidi is laughing. Spencer is probably blue in the face from laughing too hard. L.C. looks like a skank, Audrina still needs to fix her eye lids, and everything is drama in The Hills, just like MTV wants it. MTV may have started this rumor to begin with, but it was probably Spencer.
Just hug and make up, bitches. You’re trying to spice up a very boring ass show… Damn you, it’s working.

Can’t they just go to brokeback mountain for a “high-altitude fuck” and make it all better?

How tragic! And right before the holidays, too.

Give the teenage mother a fucking break. The moment I read that Jamie Lynn is knocked up again, via various blogs reporting from The National Enquirer, I knew it was bullshit. It’s not even funny actually. But I do wish it were true. Heh.
While several reports are claiming Jamie Lynn is preggers again, an unimpeachable source tells TMZ Britney’s baby sis does not have another bun in the oven.
When Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky tied the knot last Friday at NYC’s Le Cirque restaurant, they “walked into a room full of friends excited to celebrate with them,” Stern’s cohost Robin Quivers tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.
“And they turned it into a clever, creative, fun party,” Quivers adds.
The Georgina Chapman-clad Ostrosky, who carried purple calla lilies, said “I do” under a canopy of white orchids in front of Barbara Walters, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman and Kelly Ripa, whose husband, Mark Consuelos officiated the ceremony.
Kimmel read a poem and Dixie Chick Natalie Maines sang a tune written for the occasion.
“They were laughing, they were crying,” guest (and Uscontributor) Jill Martin says of Stern and Ostrosky.
By taking their wives’ last names.
