She lists four famous men who took their wives’ names, on The Frisky: Jay Mohr: Added wife Nikki Cox’s last name to his, so he’s Jay Cox Mohr. Why not put his last name first? Because, um, then it would be Mohr Cox… Jay-Z: He’s also rumored to have added his wife Beyonce’s last name, changing his to Shawn Knowles Carter. John Lennon: He became John Ono Lennon when he married Yoko. For the complete list, including a guy who first changed his given name before taking his wife’s name because he didn’t like being linked to the Kardashians, click here.

That made us wonder, which stars have done the same--and then reinstated thei... ||||| Earlier this year, a guy wrote to Dear Wendy upset that his girlfriend wouldn’t take his last name if they got married. Wendy’s response? “You’re not a hard-line traditionalist or a domineering macho type? Good! Then you shouldn’t have a problem with taking your wife’s name if you feel so strong in your convictions that a family unit should share the same surname.” It’s still not common, per se, but more and more men are taking their wives’ names for a variety of reasons—because their wife is an only child, because they like the sound of her name better, or because they don’t have a great relationship with their own father. Interestingly, there are lots of barriers up for guys thinking of doing this; it’s only an option in eight states. And in California, a dude had to sue to get the right to make the change. “I had a rough childhood with my father,” says Michael Buday, explaining why he wanted to take his fiancee Diana Bijon’s last name. “We never really got along. Diana’s father stepped up, gave me career advice. He’s family.” [USA Today]

– In today's climate, Bill Clinton wouldn't have been able to hang on as president after his inappropriate relationship with a young White House intern was exposed—and he should have stepped down 20 years ago, a prominent Democratic senator says. New York's Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has campaigned with both Clintons, tell the New York Times that resigning would have been the "appropriate response" to the Monica Lewinsky affair. "Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction," she says. "And I think in light of this conversation, we should have a very different conversation about President Trump, and a very different conversation about allegations against him." As allegations of sexual harassment and assault engulf other prominent figures, there have been calls to take a fresh look at the conduct of Bill Clinton, including the affair with Lewinsky, which took place between 1995 and 1997. On Wednesday, Gillibrand introduced the "Me Too Congress Act" to combat what she says is the pervasive problem of sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill, CBS reports. Asked about the groping incident that Sen. Al Franken, another Democrat, apologized for Thursday, Gillibrand said the conduct described was "very disturbing." "I was very disappointed," she said. "But it's important that survivors are coming out and speaking truth to power and telling their stories." (The Pentagon accidentally retweeted a call for Trump to resign Thursday.)

Answer: Let's expand this into a news article: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, said Thursday that the issue of sexual assault on Capitol Hill is a pervasive one that needs to be changed. 
  
 "What we have right now is a process that's opaque, difficult to navigate and most survivors don't even know where to report," said Sen. Gillibrand on "CBS This Morning." 
  
 Gillibrand and Rep. Jackie Speier, D-California, introduced the "Me Too Congress Act" on the Hill on Wednesday in response to growing concerns of sexual misconduct at the nation's capitol. 
  
 She says the bill will make the reporting process "transparent, make it more accountable and we'll actually have a survey so that way every person who works here can fill out a climate survey of whether they feel safe or not." 
  
 The bill would also eliminate mandatory non-disclosure agreements on behalf of an assault survivor, makes mediation and counseling optional and requires members of Congress to repay any discrimination settlements. 
  
 She says similar legislation proposed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, however, is not strong enough. 
  
 "I don't know what his bill will say, but it's more than just having training, he said he wants to do training, that's not enough, we need training, number one, but we also need to change the process so that it's possible for someone to get justice today," Gillibrand said. 
  
 She added, "if you have someone harassing you at your office you'll have to go through a mediation process for months before you can even make your case, that's not something that's conducive to someone reporting or ending harassment in the workplace." 
  
 Gillibrand said that while Speier alluded to two current members of Congress, one Democrat and one Republican, being accused of harassing women, she said it's up to the survivors to name the lawmakers. 
  
 "A survivor might not want to have to be in the middle of a story for the next number of months, she might want to continue with her career, she might not want to be discriminated against or somehow retaliated against," the senator said. 
  
 She added, "the way I wrote my bill is to make sure the survivor has choice whether or not she wants to take issue public or he, because right now, they don't have that option, they have to actually sign an agreement not to disclose what happened to them." 
  
 Gillibrand spoke as more allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. While more lawmakers continue to pull their support from Moore, including many Republican leaders calling for him to step aside, Gillibrand said if Moore was elected to the senate, she'd vote against him being seated. 
  
 Asked about a potential write-in campaign for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take back his vacant seat which Moore is running for, Gillibrand said while there's a "great candidate who's running on the Democratic line who I support", if she had to choose a Republican candidate, she'd pick Luther Strange. ||||| Earlier, she said she would give all the donations her campaign had received from Mr. Franken’s political action committee to Protect Our Defenders, which helps those assaulted in the military. She also introduced the “Me Too Congress Act” on Thursday to address yearslong and rampant sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill. 
  
 Ms. Gillibrand began a new push this week for legislation to authorize military prosecutors, rather than commanders, to decide which sexual assault cases should be brought to court, with the aim of encouraging more people to report crimes without fear of retaliation. 
  
 She was an early supporter of Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and has spent countless hours raising money for Democratic women who run for office, citing Mrs. Clinton as a role model. 
  
 “In my adult life, politically, no one has inspired me to get off the sidelines and truly make a difference more than Hillary Clinton has,” Ms. Gillibrand said last year in an essay on why she was supporting Mrs. Clinton. 
  
 Ms. Gillibrand has also noted Mr. Clinton’s support for her own run for office. “I was lucky enough to receive guidance and mentorship from Hillary during that run, and was truly honored that President Bill Clinton campaigned for me in my first run for Congress in 2006,” she wrote in the same essay. 
  
 Her criticism of the former president’s affair with Monica S. Lewinsky between 1995 and 1997 comes as the nation grapples with charges of sexual misconduct and harassment by celebrities, politicians and journalists that have often involved men exerting their professional power over younger women. 
  
 Roy S. Moore, the Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama, has been accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, and lawmakers have testified that sexual harassers remain in their ranks. The rise of sexual harassment complaints across a broad array of fields has also caused a re-examination of Mr. Clinton’s role. |||||
