Nick Zano -- My Name is Crap!

Nick ZanoAn astute TMZ reader pointed out that Pax Jolie and teen dream Nick Zano have something in common -- they both need to publicly announce their name change!

Apparently, placing the public notices in the low circulation Daily Commerce is de rigueur for Hollywood, and it's no exception with Nick.

Nick is currently dating "Laguna Beach" alum Kristin Cavallari, which ensures him entry to Hyde for the foreseeable future. Think he would have had the same success if he had kept his real name: Nick CRAPANZANO?

Unlikely.

There's an Italian Restaurant in Houston called Crappitto's. I kid you not. It's very elegant and pricey. With a name like Crappitto's . . . . Good call on his part.

Did anyone else read some of those other name changes? There was a few pretty nutty changes sought, like the guy with like four damn words to his name that wanted to change the order of the last two. Funny, strangely...

Everyone who wants to legally change their name has to publish it in the local newspaper for four consecutive weeks before the judge grants the name change. He's not doing it for the press.

The only problem with having a last name that ends in the letter * Z* is always being last in any directory or list

More crap from the lazy staff at TMZ.
Why don't you guys get off your shiftless asses and investigate some Real news!
Great job Harvey, where did you pick this swill you call a news team?
You'll probably delete this, because you can't take the truth.
You can dish it TMZ but you can't take it.

Can we at least use "crapanzano" as an adjective to describe his acting?

Who is this? A JV basketball player on a Division 5 high school team?

Uh-oh. Did that pillar of morality Kristin get herself knocked up? Is the name change just to protect the kid from all the future school yard "Crap" jokes. It'll be hard enough for the tot to endure ridicule for his mom having had the lowest rated show ("Get this party started") in UPN's brief history. [insert "crappy" tv show jole here]

My guess is there is a wedding in the near future. Nick & Kristin don’t want their wedding guests to read the invitation and think they are getting Punk’d or it being a punch line when Jay Leno does his "Headlines" bit.
