Grey's Anatomy Star Chyler Leigh Is Naming Her Baby "Aniston"
The third child– and second daughter — for Grey's Anatomy Star Chyler Leigh and Nathan West will be named Aniston Kay.“My husband was actually the one who picked it,” the 26-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actress revealed Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “He did a good job.”
When asked by host Ellen DeGeneres if actress Jennifer Aniston was his inspiration, Chyler joked “she is like my best friend,” before clarifying, “I’ve never met her actually, no [laughs].”
“It was just something…my husband and I were trying to look for different names and both of our kids have a traditional and a unique name, so we were kind of just looking for something not as common.”
Impressed by their willingness to defy convention, Ellen joked ”if you have another one, call it ‘DeGeneres.’”
Aniston, who is due on May 15th, will join big siblings Noah Wilde, 5, and Taelyn Leigh, 2, at home.

Three More Finalists Join American Idol's Top 12
A big voice in a small package, 16-year-old Allison singlehandedly woke up the judges, who had been sinking into their chairs under the weight of bad song choices, when she boomed out "How Do I Get You Alone."Her mature performance scored her tonight's first ticket into the Top 12 when Ryan Seacrest started the reaping and sowing.
Adam, with his David Cook-reminiscent hairdo and theatrical but inviting stage presence, was also a near sure thing—and sure enough, to his and our "Satisfaction," America agreed.
And Kris Allen, aided by good looks, sheer likeability and potential—his "Man in the Mirror" was better the second time around, minus the nerves— who filled the final slot.
Meanwhile, the judges finally admitted out loud that they would be picking a few of their favorite for the upcoming Wild Card sing-off, to take place March 5.

Kendra Wilkinson's Bro to Walk Her Down the Aisle
After much speculation, it appears Hugh Hefner will not give Kendra Wilkinson away on her wedding day to Hank Baskett.
"I would definitely love for him to walk me down [the aisle]," Kendra reports of Hef's offer, but adds that she decided her brother would ultimately be a better choice.
"I think it would mean a lot to my family and me down the line," the bubbly blonde says. "It just makes more sense."
So does Hef have any hard feelings about the change of plans?
It doesn't sound like it, since they're still getting married at the Playboy Mansion. "Hef loves Hank," Kendra says, revealing that the two men in her life share another common interest—both are big fans of the comic book character Flash Gordon.
One subject Hef and Hank don't agree on? Reality TV. Kendra says she can't wait for her spin-off show to start this summer on E! but her fiance isn't as eager. “It’s hard for him. He's a football player,” says Kendra.
And although her own love life is going great, Kendra can't help but reflect on Holly Madison's sudden split with Criss Angel.
“It sucks that they broke up, and I hope she finds what she was looking for,” says Kendra. “I don't know what happened. I hope she finds happiness. She is a great person with so much love to give.”

Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy tell Usmagazine.com they have begun planning their wedding."We started talking about it and figuring out when and where we're going to have it," she said. "But there's so many family members that have a say that we got to try to make sure that everyone will be happy. But we think it will be sometime before the end of this year. So, not so long."
Who said "I love you" first?
"She did. But I followed quickly after," added Chmerkovskiy, who popped the question on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.
Both are in midst of rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars' upcoming season, debuting March 9.
Chmerkovskiy will dance with Denise Richards.
"She hasn't said a complaint and stays on the floor for like six hours straight," he said.
Their first dance will be "the Cha Cha."
Smirnoff is paired with Apple co-founder Steve Woziak.
"He's a little out of his element but has the biggest personality you'll ever meet," she says. "He's super funny and super charming."
"I never expected him to be on the show because he's a very private person," she adds. "To have him come out and do something completely different from the computer world was a surprise."

American Idol Recap From Wednesday Night
A week after seeing nine of their compatriots felled by bad song choices and fickle phone-in voting habits, another dozen American Idol hopefuls trotted out tonight to sing for a spot in the Top 12.One would think they had learned from the mistakes of their predecessors—from those who sang before them just last week, let alone of seasons past.
But while some took the opportunity to separate themselves from the pack, the rest plucked one ill-conceived single from the Billboard Hot 100 (past and present) after another.
Until the fourth number of the night or so, it seemed as if the only people reading fan blogs were the show's producers, who nixed last week's squirmy gimmick of having Ryan Seacrest interview the contestants and their families right after each performance, most of whom had just been given the seal of disapproval by the judges.
Not that there weren't some killer moments. Read on for tonight's rundown
• Jasmine Murray: Why is it when these great-seeming singers finally end up in front of a full band, so many of them fall flat? The 16-year-old from Mississippi eased into the spotlight as her performance of Sarah Bereilles' "Love Song" wore on, but these recent Top 40 hits remain beyond the female semifinalists' grasp. Randy Jackson thought she was going to come out "singing some Rihanna or something" (an unintentionally loaded reference these days) and Kara DioGuardi agreed it was all over the place. Paula Abdul wanted to disagree…but couldn't.
• Matt Giraud: No one needs this version of "Viva La Vida." The 23-year-old dueling piano player, a big favorite (up till now?) decided to jazz up Coldplay's latest Grammy-winning single and it just wasn't necessary. "You turned from someone very cool at the piano, singing Ray Charles, into sort of a wannabe pop star in a very kind of jerky, uncomfortable way," Simon Cowell said.
• Jeanine Vailes: Even Paula went "out on a limb" and said the 27-year-old SoCal native didn't deserve another shot after butchering Maroon 5's "This Love." From the bad outfit (nice legs, but still) to the awkward fist pumps toward the end (the best part, according to Randy), Jeanine may have overcompensated in the worst way for not getting a lot of face time in prior weeks.
• Nick Mitchell: It was a rough way for Norman Gentle to go. Despite some curiously strong high points, Mitchell's Dreamgirls-inspired assertion that he's not going probably guaranteed that he's on his way out. The alter-ego-utilizing crooner dressed for the occasion—shiny shirt and white tails—but unless everyone tanks tonight, he's done.
• Allison Iraheta: Not caring that "How Do I Get You Alone" wasn't exactly an inspired choice, the 16-year-old broke way out of the pack tonight by ignoring the bloggers who think the song should have been retired after Carrie Underwood had it and singing the crap out of the Heart classic.
• Kris Allen: The very personable 23-year-old sounded perfectly fine singing "Man in the Mirror," but Michael Jackson's hit is just so loaded with meaning and pedigree, it was going to take more than a proficient run at the end to make it pop. "Completely wrong song," Kara said. But Paula disagreed completely…and so did Simon, who thinks the fact that "the chicks" will like Kris might be enough to pull him through.
• Megan Corkrey: We weren't in love with the baby-doll dress and ballet flats, but her treatment of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" was way more interesting than most of what we heard tonight. The judges keep calling her a "packaged artist" but it's her differences that are going to get Megan into the Top 12.
• Matt Breitzke: Maybe Tonic just wasn't rough-and-tumble enough for the burly welder. Parts of his take on "If You Could Only See" sounded really nice, while other parts seemed…wussy. "It didn't show us any side of you," Kara lamented, while Simon said flat out, "It was boring."
• Jesse Langseth: Sultry and, most importantly, pleasing to the ear, the 26-year-old single mom had her way with "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. She theoretically did enough to deserve a spot in the next round but whether she has mass appeal remains to be seen. Randy generalized hers as "just another cool kind of a performance," but it was cooler than most tonight.
• Kai Kalama: Finally, a male contestant who seemed to be enjoying himself onstage. Too bad the judges thought his enthusiasm was misplaced. Kai, who at least has some of the best hair in this competition, might be done after throwing himself on the mercy of the Fried Green Tomatoes theme, "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" (which was originally a Motown hit by Jimmy Ruffin), and getting the "hotel or wedding-singer" response from Simon.
• MIshavonna Henson: Unusual. Her version of Train's "Drops of Jupiter" sounded good from note one. The 18-year-old beauty would do well to assume a less menacing expression while performing…but vocally it was delightful. Unfortunately, it still left Simon cold. "You act like a 50-year-old," he informed the barely legal singer.
• Adam Lambert: It took until the final seven minutes, but at last someone came roaring out of the gate trying to put his stamp on a classic. Lambert, a 26-year-old professional theater kid, rocked the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." Quirky, entertaining, sexy and "a bit manic," as Randy said, but it was on a whole other level.
Find out what America thought of all that on Thursday's live results show. The top guy and girl and then the next-highest vote-getter will advance.
