If, for some strange reason, you’d like to date 25-year-old pop-snot Avril Lavigne, good news: She’s getting a divorce

The singer has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her split from hubby/Sum 41 pop-punk Deryck Whibley. (Who? Exactly. Think Good Charlotte, but somehow more annoying.)

On the plus side, the Canadian mall-punk power couple called it off before they had a chance to have a baby with a dumber name than the spawn of Ashlee Simpson (lip-syncher) and Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy).

The daughter of singing star Lionel Richie, Nicole Richie, 27, rose to fame thanks to her high-profile position as the (ex) best friend of Paris Hilton. Richie was once engaged to DJ AM, the celebrity DJ found dead of an apparent drug overdose in August, a year after miraculously surviving a plane crash that killed four others.

In 2008 Richie welcomed her first, daughter Harlow Winter Kate, with boyfriend Joel Madden, 30, lead singer of the pop-punk band Good Charlotte (video below). Hilton briefly dated Madden’s twin brother, Benji.

On the celebrated date 09/09/09 the couple welcomed a second child with a bird-inspired name. It’s a boy, but the couple named the new baby Continue reading »

If you’re a fan of Fall Out Boy (and comics), you’ll be happy to know that you can meet the guys in-person Thursday September 3 at one of NYC’s hottest comic shops.

The good news is that members of the band will be signing the Fall Out Boy-inspired comic, Fallout Toy Works #1.

The bad news is that it’s probably not the members you actually want to meet.

Fall Out Boy Patrick Stump Arrested (Tired of Wentz Hogging the Spotlight?)

Patrick Stump, the leader of love’em/loathe’em mall-punks Fall Out Boy, was arrested in L.A.  on Wednesday.

No, haters, he wasn’t arrested for making bad music.

AP reports that the 25-year-old rockstar was picked up on charges related to a two-year-old warrant for driving without a valid license.

Fall Out Boy is scheduled to play at the Reading Festival in England on Friday, but there’s still no word on whether that show has been canceled as a result of Stump’s arrest (stay tuned for details…)

Considering that most celebs are being picked up for bloody attacks on their girlfriends or drug violations, this is actually a pretty tame story.

Wonder if Stump was just trying to steal back some of the spotlight stolen by his more popular (and arguably more annoying bandmate, Pete Wentz, AKA, Mr. Ashlee Simpson)?

Bamboozle Fest 2009: No Doubt, Cover Bands, Third Eye Blind Reunion (?)

Published May 1st, 2009 by Karen

 

This weekend, New Jersey is going to be filled with even more, um, unusual folks than usual as the Bamboozle Festival rolls into town and lures all the emo kids out of their bedroom-mope-caves for a weekend of unnecessary reunions and pop-punk cover bands. Um, sweet?

Expect a weekend of bad haircuts and worse music. Sorry, dorks.

Among the bigger names on this year’s bill are Third Eye Blind (seriously?!), No Doubt (newly reunited, for some reason), Fall Out Boy (insert your own Bronx Mowgli joke, here), Asher Roth, Taking Back Sunday, and the Maine (owners of the worst emo haircuts in recent memory).

No Doubt is headlining the fest, but Gwen Stefani’s hubby, Gavin Rossdale, isn’t quite as lucky these days. He’s relegated to playing after Bloodhound Gang on Saturday afternoon.

On the plus side, at least Gwar (who claim to be aliens from Antarctica sent to rule the earth, or something like that) will be there, rocking their homemade costumes and fake blood. (Remember when Gwar was on on Jerry Springer?)

If that’s not bad enough, the day before Bamboozle, NJ is hosting the Hoodwink Fest-a festival of cover bands featuring bands you’ve probably never heard of doing songs by bands they should probably just leave alone.

Boys Like Girls will play Coldplay songs.
Anti-Flag plays the Clash
Sum 41 plays Metallica
And so on.

Some lesser-known bands are playing Avril LaVigne and Britney Spears. Wow, pop-punk bands doing lame pop songs. Um, is this funny anymore?

Full line-up, at the Hoodwink Fest page.

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?
