Jaime has a boy

Jaime Pressly just gave birth to a son according to People magazine. The “My Name is Earl” actress now has a new leading man, and his name is Dezi James. He arrived on the scene at 7:31 am and weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces. Pressly, 29, told People the couple came up the name “Dezi” as a tribute to Cuban-born “I Love Lucy” star Desi Arnaz. Being Cuban-American herself Jaime wanted to honor one of her people’s comedy greats. I love the idea of naming a child after a great star like Desi Arnaz. I think people forget about the older generation of comedians, and it’s nice that the actors of this modern era can step up and appreciate their forfathers. It’s people like Desi that made comedy what it is today.
