    I just realized that I have no idea who "Nick Cannon" is.

    An early host of America's Got Talent. Apparently he was/is a rapper, but I only know him in the AGT context.

    Not yet 43 years old, and 12 kids. Those of us on Medicare and Social Security should send him a Thank You card for providing a tax base.

    On the other hand, I know 4 generations of women who all had their first baby at 15 or 16, making them great-grandmothers when they were not that much older than Nick.

    I could find no reference to Ms.Mitchell in any such context.

    Well, that explains it; I don't watch any of that tripe or listen to rap. :p

    Every so often I'll watch AGT because of the quality of singers that they get, but it's probably been 3-4 years or so since the last time.

    When they began giving preference and The Golden Buzzer to those with the worst sob stories, I stopped watching. I actually signed up years ago to vote one girl through who was a very talented songwriter/singer, in part because of her talent and in part because she was just herself with no tragic background worn on her sleeve. It's the one and only time I've ever signed up to vote on those stupid shows, but I wanted her to win...and she did.

    Musk's name for atleast the one kid freaked me the worst. I just hope the child won't be the only child stuck with a name like that. Even geniuses can be stupid, living proof.
