LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans.

M.I.A.’s Baby Name Mix-Up: If you ordered any personalized baby gifts for rapper M.I.A. after reading the report this morning that she named her son Ickitt, here’s hoping you kept the receipt. “My baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit,” M.I.A. wrote on her blog on Friday. “Thank you very much to all the Hollywood press. He’s a baby, he don’t need press!” In fact, the rapper is keeping her son’s name to herself. “I didn’t release the baby name because I didn’t think was news!… But I will be back with something newsworthy soon, ‘til then go pick on Apple, Satchel and Moon Unit.”

Miley Not Headed To Jonas Brothers Flick: Don’t expect to see Miley Cyrus in line for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.” According to OK! Magazine, during her book singing on Thursday in New York, a fan asked the young star if she was going to see her ex-boyfriend’s concert film, and she replied, “No, probably not.” We’re assuming she meant because she was too busy and not because she’s holding a grudge against Nick Jonas.

Miley’s New Opening Act?: “Idol” just picked its Top 13 on Thursday, and one contestant is getting glowing reviews from Miley. “I want [Allison Iraheta] to go on tour with me!” Miley told MTV News. “I think she’s amazing. I think she’s so cool. I’ll make you an ‘American Idol.’” Sounds like good ammunition for any upcoming Simon Cowell-isms!

LiLo To Cover Brit Brit?: In music news that is sure to excite and upset simultaneously, Lindsay Lohan is considering covering a Britney Spears song. According to a New York Daily News’ Gate Crasher source, the actress is “on the Britney bandwagon.” Lindsay is reportedly hopes to cover “Womanizer” or “Oops! … I Did it Again.” We’re already making room on our iPods!
