Gwyneth Explains Moses

September 26, 2006 by Celebrity

Gwyneth met up with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush to explain why her son is named Moses. She said she and Chris would have named Apple Moses if she was a boy. The name is something they have had in their hearts for a long time. Gwyneth explains:

“Moses to me is just such an amazing name. Plus, he was born on the holiest Sabbath of the year, which is the Saturday before Passover. And he was born at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York,” she explained.

“This is all adding up,” Billy said. “He had to be Moses!”

“Exactly,” Gwyneth laughed. “And it was my father’s Hebrew name.”

See this is why I like Gwyneth - first and foremost to me she will always be that Daddy's girl. She is a talented actress and while some think she is stuck up, I just think she can be misunderstood. The one thing I do disagree with her on is she said her kids never eat McDonald's. I understand her health craze, but come on, those fries are a kid's dream, You can't deny a child McDonald's every so often. Lots more pics of Gwyneth at LAX so

She's misunderstood because she doesn't think (or doesn't care) about the offensive, bitchy, holier-than-thou things she says. Everyone is free to think what they want - if she hates McDonald's and ramen, or likes the UK more than the US, that's her prerogative - but when you start openly trash talking things other people love and, worse, implying that other people are stupid or lower class than yourself for loving them, you're officially a snob. And that's putting it nicely.

My kids like McDonald's...they get happy meals, get their toys, don't touch their burgers - they eat MY salad, their apples, and drink their milk! lol I usually just end up splitting my salad 3 ways between us. I hope they keep eating that way. I think Moses is a sweet name, but I like biblical names. And yum...alligator! It is so good! _____________ GEAUX SAINTS!

So true Jen, and those outside influences become opportunities to teach your children. "Barbie's soooo pretty, mom!" "Yes she is sweetheart! But she's also a vapid, anorexic bitch with a boyfriend who has no discernable genitalia. You don't want to be like Barbie, darling."

I don't really care for her kids names and would never name my kids Apple or Moses but the story about Moses name and being named after her father is really sweet.

I couldn't agree more with highsociety and t0x. I think that applies to most anything - the more experience you have with something, the less you see it in black and white. My philosophy is that you cannot shelter your children forever. Kids *will* encounter all kinds of things from junk food to unhealthy body images to tv to candy and if you never teach them moderation, chances are pretty good that they go hogwild the moment they are out of your sight.

dvdsky, I hear what you're saying. Before I had my girls, I was militant about how I'd raise them: no Barbies, no TV, no sugar, no junk food. But like Tox said, being a parent is quite the challenge ~ practicality usually wins out! We're still very health-conscious and well-minded about societal influences, but that's not to say I don't let them eat birthday cake, candy on Halloween, watch some Saturday cartoons, or just let it be if they get a Barbie as a present. I realized that for me to encorporate all those ideals I had, we'd basically have to pack up town and move into a bubble. It really is about moderation. If you're healthy overall (mind and body), a little junk here or there won't hurt you.

While I'm not the world's biggest Gwyneth fan, I must admit she dresses very nicely and has a good sense of humour sometimes. Plus, she's a workshorse - she really studies her roles. She may say a lot of "odd" things, but I get the feeling she is misunderstood most of the time.

apple is such a stupid name like one magazine said: "when she has a nervous breakdown we'll call her apple crumble, when she is tanned we'll call her golden delicious and when she is a h** we'll call her apple tart." Not a very clever name chum.

Sashak-- If your friends are Cajun, you are probably eating alligator with them, not crocodile. I am from Louisiana, and we do not have crocodiles here. Alligator is delicious, though. Those Cajuns will eat anything though (no offense meant to anyone), so if there were crocodiles here, they would be cooking them. I bet they would be good.

if you want to read the ugly truth... type in cochineal beetle in food and youl get a ton of websites and article that speak the yucky truth. its NOT something i made up. its in pepsi too, they use other names other than caramel also. its also in some hershey chocolate and mike and ike candies, thank god they left my favorite candy alone, the big box of red hot tomale candy is 100% bug free. the red candy is dervived from an ingredient other than the beetle.

Actually I agree with her on the no Mcdonald's. If I had a kid, there is no way in hell I would feed my child that slop. I would care waaaay too much about my kid to poision him/her with that. Not to mention, I cant stand them as a company. I hate how they (as well as alot of other fast food joints, but they are more hard core about it) target children specifically and use them to make money. They dont care about kids other than the fact that they have mouths and can make their parents take them there to spend money. Their food is horrible and rat poison is better for you, yet so many people rely so much on taking their kids to Mcd's. Play areas, kid's meals, toys...all for the money. The food is gross, their practices as a company are downright frightening. If people cared about kids as much as they say they do, they wouldnt spend their hard earned money at a company that takes advantage of their children as well as clogging their arteries and making them sick.
