Paltrow gives birth to baby girl - named Apple

Saw Troy last night. Brad Pitt is REALLY hot, which we already knew and this just proves. And Eric Bana is a revelation, and Peter O'Toole is excellent, but... The movie is kind of lame. It did inspire my boyfriend and I to thumb through The Iliad, The Odyssey and the Aeneid to settle disputes about who actually is supposed to die at Troy and who isn't. Too bad I don't have an English copy of Ovid's Metamorphosis any more, then we could have dissected the death of Achilles as well. The movie made me doubt for a moment that "The Red Haired King and His Lady" even made an appearance in the Odyssey.


It's not like I expected a faithful reincarnation of the Iliad--they did, after all, have to give a little more closure than that epic does. And I had read the reviews and knew there weren't any gods, etc. But still. I couldn't tell when they changed story lines a little, or changed the order of things (I'm not completely convinced I ever made it all the way through the Iliad), but I could tell when the killed off people who are crucial to half of the rest of the stories we have about ancient Greece.

Right, so anyway, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim Wakefield had kids on the same day.
