Um, nope. That’s not a typo you’re looking at. That’s the name of Alicia Silverstone’s son who was born in May 2011. Bear Blu. We have to hand it to her and musician husband Christopher Jarecki for their creativity; this roaming Bear should fit in perfectly in Los Angeles. Why the weird name? Silverstone is a well-known environmentalist and animal rights activist so I can see why she was drawn to an animal name (which apparently her mother-in-law suggested). Alicia has been quoted as saying that most people think the name is cute. Well, duuuhhh. You think people are going to tell you to your face that your kid’s name is lame? We also have never met a Bear that needed his food pre-chewed, but that’s a different matter altogether.
