ILLI MO BITZ
From reports, After her birth, it
was reported that they named her Kaidence — as in cadence with a “K” — because
of music.
TMZ reports that the name on the birth certificate
of the child is North. North West Washington
On Thursday night, TMZ
leaked — after catching a glimpse of the birth
certificate from Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles — that Kim Kardashian and
Kanye West named
their new baby girl "North West
Kardashian had hinted at a directional name is past interviews,
previously telling Jay Leno "I do like Easton
When E! News asked the pregnant reality star
point blank if she planned to name her child "North," Kardashian responded "I
don't know where that came from, but I actually think it's cute."
The baby girl, who has
no choice in the matter whatsoever until she is 18 and can legally change her
name to whatever she wants including Kaidence, is named North West.
And a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Yeezy will continue that trend because he won’t be selling his baby’s photos!
A source close to Kanye tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, ”I know Kanye’s not about to make money off that girl. Trust, that’s not going to happen. Kanye isn’t no pimp and he damn sure isn’t about to pimp out his own daughter. That’s not in his character. Whenever he does decide to bring his girl out in public, it won’t be for money. It’s going to be on his terms and in an appropriate place.”
Unfortunately for Kanye, Kim Kardashian will likely want to sell the photos.

Leann Robertson is a police officer that trains and competes as a female natural bodybuilder. She has been competing in body building competitions for two years and has done seven competitions. Overcoming stage fright and stop running are Leann's biggest challenges. While most bodybuilders dream of sweets or carbs, her favorite cheat meal is chicken with squash and mushrooms in a spicy thai sauce. Leann loves to train legs because it challenges me so much, so if you need a leg training partner look her up. Her overall goal was to spend time with her son who competes and trains with her. Leann will be in our Women's Bodybuilding class at the Evolution Championships August 3, 2013.

Why does Lebron James get hated on so much? Why did Chris Bosh flop on the floor of the court when he got fouled? Why did Paula Deen cancel her recent appearance on the Today Show? And why are folk so surprised of her racist remarks about black people? Why is R&B Divas trying to be like the Bad Girls Club? Why was Eve nominated for Best female Rap Artist at the BET Awards and she hasnt released an album or a single? Why did that Rihanna fan hold onto her hand in concert too long? And why is Tavis Smiley receiving a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
