Ashlee Simpson Baby Name Bronx Mowgli Worst Celebrity Baby Names Best Baby Names 2008

Yes, that’s right, just when you thought the idea of Ashlee Simpson having a baby with mall-punk poser icon Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy was the dumbest thing you ever heard, now comes news of the actual birth of the baby on Thursday and the revelation of the fittingly ridiculous baby name.

Please welcome future lip-syncher/pop-punk sell-out Bronx Mowgli.
(Wonder if it got her old  nose?)

That’s right, it addition to saddling the baby with a name that conjures images of one of NYC’s less attractive realms, the dorky duo named their baby after the kid from the Jungle Book. Nothing says “punk rock” like naming your kid after a Disney character (let’s face it: these two probably haven’t actually read the Rudyard Kipling books that inspired the movie).

At least that kid was raised in the jungle by a singing bear, he probably turned out better than baby Simpson-Wentz is going to.

Oh, and in case the super-cool name didn’t make it obvious, Bronx Mowgli is a boy.  At least he’ll have something to talk about with Gwen Stefani’s kids Zuma Nesta Rock and Kingston, Suri Cruise, Felix Anderson, Pilot Inspektor (Jason  Lee’s kid), Apple and Moses Paltrow-Martin and all of the other celeb-babies with goofy monikers.

Is this the worst celebrity baby name ever?

Weird Celebrity Baby Names: Gillian Anderson Baby Name Felix X File

Published October 21st, 2008 by Karen

Another day, another celebrity has a baby and gives it a weird celebrity baby name.

Just in time for Halloween, today’s awful baby name comes from X-Files actress Gillian “Agent Scully” Anderson. Gillian Anderson’s baby name? Felix.

It seems ok, until you realized that “Felix” is an anagram for “X File.”  Clearly, this was no accident.

This is pretty dorky, but it’s almost so dorky that it’s cool. We can’t decide. It’s sort of like having Leonard Nimoy name his son Spock or having George Lucas name his kids after Star Wars characters.

At any rate, it sure beats Gwen Stefani’s new baby’s name, Zuma Nesta Rock. Ugh.

If the recent X-Files movie had been better, maybe this would’ve been a cool name…Too bad Anderson’s cute new kid won’t make as many headlines as ex-X-Files co-star David Duchovny’s sex addiction/failed marriage/affair with a tennis player. Better luck next time, Scully.

People magazine reports Felix is Anderson’s second child with boyfriend Mark Griffiths. The couple has a 1-year-old son, Oscar. From a previous marriage, Anderson also has a 13-year-old daughter, Piper.

Tell us what you think:
Is Felix a good baby name?

Secret to a Happy (rock star) Marriage and Free Wedding Music

Published October 7th, 2008 by Karen

Who has been married 44 years: One of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?

With rock stars like Paul McCartney and Phil Collins making headlines for their $50 million dollar divorce settlements, it’s starting to seem as though all Hollywood weddings and rock’n’roll marriages are doomed.

However, long before Britney was divorced (twice) or Mariah Carey eloped, rock stars were walking down the aisle—and making it last.

Today we’re taking a look at some of the longest-lasting marriages in the rock music world. Members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones have had successful relationships, but who comes out on top? Find out! (And, if you’re in the mood, check out some free wedding music mp3s).

6. Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) and Jo Howard—Unfortunately, after 23 years of marriage, this couple seems to be headed for divorce court, but they’re still married for now, so they’re on our list.

5. Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) and Patti Hansen: Married 25 Years
Yeah, we were pretty shocked by this one, too!

4. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne: Married 26 Years

And, the winner of best Rock Star marriage is…
1.
Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones
Charlie Watt married Shirley Ann Shepherd in October of 1964, which means they’ve been married for 44 years. While the other Rolling Stones were out partying, the soft-spoken drummer used to speak openly about how much he missed his wife and family while on tour.

Being married for 44 years is a long time by any standard, and considering Watts is a member of one of the most famous bands in the world—The Rolling Stones—it’s AMAZING!

Ashlee Simpson Creepy Wonderland Wedding to Pete Wentz Fall Out Boy

Published May 19th, 2008 by Karen

Pop-punk icon Billy Idol once sang, “It’s a nice day for a white wedding,” but Saturday proved to be a nice day for a white rabbit wedding.

Ashlee Simpson, 23, and Pete Wentz, 28, tied the knot Saturday in California. The pop-punk pair chose a wedding theme based around the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland.

Ashlee’s dress is still being kept under wraps, but according to People magazine it was designed by Monique Lhuillier and she wore a diamond necklace and earring by Neil Lane. Her engagement ring is a massive diamond, which Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz claims is a non-conflict diamond.

Odds are it was the reception that was fairy tale themed, not the actual wedding. That’s kind of shame, it would’ve been pretty entertaining to think of Simpson walking down the aisle dressed as the white rabbit or chesire cat. Oh well. Maybe next time.

The duo’s wedding cake did follow the theme, featuring top hat, tea pot and pocket watch imagery from the story.

Also, wasn’t Alice’s adventure in Wonderland really sort of a nightmare? It doesn’t really seem like the type of image you’d want to have for a wedding.

Of course, the faux-goth theme for the wedding probably isn’t the creepiest part of the big day. In addition to Simpson’s oddly man-ish sister Jessica serving as maid of honor, the ceremony was performed by Simpson’s father, the always creepy Joe Simpson. Wonder if he’s selling the wedding photos yet? He already tried to sell photos of Ashlee’s unconfirmed baby.

No word on where the possibly pregnant newlyweds will head for the honeymoon. We’d guess down a rabbit hole somewhere. Better not tell Joe, he’ll be there with the paparazzi.

Scarlett Johansson Album Sucks More Than Ashlee Simpson? Wow.

Published April 24th, 2008 by Karen

Actress/singer (?)Scarlett Johansson’s debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, doesn’t officially hit shelves until May 20, but thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can hear it all now.

While there are places where you can (ahem, illegally) download the whole album, for a legal preview check the official site featuring clips of all eleven of the album’s tracks.

Or don’t bother.

On film, Johansson’s smoky rasp is typically on the border between being seductive and asthmatic. Unfortunately, as a singing voice, it’s less smoky jazz club and more Velvet Underground featuring Nico. Of course, that’s fine if you’re one of those people who pretends to admire Nico’s gruff monotone, but you’re only fooling yourself.

If you don’t already know the details on this project, it’s basically Johansson releasing an album of musician/actor Tom Waits songs. (She did co-author one track, “Song for Jo”.)

Yeah, we’re not sure who wants to hear this either. Maybe the indie-rock dorks who are stoked about Natalie Portman hooking up with obnoxious neo-folkie Devendra Banhart? Who knows.

And, we’re not usually quick to defend crumby pop-stars, but seriously, even Ashlee Simpson co-writes some of her own songs on her new album Bittersweet World. Her contributions are likely minimal compared to those of her songwriting team, and yes, those songs suck a lot of the time, but at least it’s an illusion of effort.
An album of cover songs is a cop-out. A sure-fire way to fail, but in a noble fashion.

If you’re going to do cover songs, it’s cool to pick a solid artist like Waits, but there’s nothing remotely fun or likable about this dirge of an album—it’s respectable, but scarcely enjoyable.

Tom Waits is a well-respected artist relegated to the fringe, and albums by actors are essentially novelty items to start with (watch as William Shatner sings “Rocket Man”)—so combining an actor with the overly novel idea of a cover song album is either brilliant or ridiculously alienating.

Guess we’ll find out when the album hits the charts (or doesn’t) next month.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson Engaged, Pregnant?

Published April 10th, 2008 by Karen

The mysterious, and still unconfirmed, Beyonce and Jay-Z wedding has quietly fallen out of the headlines, but a new couple is set to take the spotlight. Faux-punk Pete Wentz and faux-singer Ashlee Simpson have announced that they are engaged.

Let the rumor-mongering begin!

UsMagazine.com broke the news this morning, and is already speculating that the quick engagement may have been triggered by a pregnancy. Yikes.

Maybe the always made-up couple will unleash their own line of emo baby eyeliner. Or terrible childrens music.

Or, since Wentz has his hand in a fashion line, maybe he’ll help Ashlee design her own wedding dress and baby clothes. Ok, maybe not.

Screaming girl fans of Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz are likely crushed by this latest development, although, as far as we know, no guys give a hoot about the marital status of Saturday Night Live lip-syncher/recent nose-job recipient Simpson (before/after photos here).

No word yet on whether Ashlee and her beau will sign up for an MTV newlywed reality show like big sister Jessica Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey did.

We wish the couple many years—or at least several days—of wedded bliss. We just hope they don’t fight over the bathroom mirror or the flat-iron too much. Ahem (photos, here).
