E!Online gets all haughty at MIA

After Dan Wooton had a go at MIA for being annoyed at the press for getting her baby's name wrong, just because they got it wrong, E! Online has joined in:

You may recall that the recent new mom went all ballistic when the name was announced, saying in her MySpace blog, "My baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit thank you very much to all the Hollywood press. Hes a baby, he don't need press!"

The only trouble is, the baby kinda is named Ickitt.

Based on a birth certificate obtained by TMZ, it turns out that the baby's name is actually not Ickitt, but Ikhyd. Yep, the spelling's a little different, but it's pronounced exactly the same. We stand corrected. But only on a transliterated technicality. Woot!

Except, of course, it's not pronounced "exactly" the same. And not having the name spelled correctly is, you know, quite a big deal. And E seemed to have just sidestepped the main point of MIA's complaint, which is not simply that they got the name wrong, but that it was none of their business at all. And TMZ rummaging around to dig out the birth certificate more-or-less proves that point.
