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?

Beyonce I am Sasha Fierce Review, plus Free Beyonce Downloads

Published November 18th, 2008 by Karen

Beyonce Knowles: I am Sasha Fierce. Seriously.

In the past year, Beyonce Knowles has gotten a ton of attention thanks to her top secret wedding to Jay Z. However, attention is about to turn back to the singer’s music…maybe.

Actually, it’s surprising that more people aren’t talking about the ridiculous new album Beyonce is set to release on November 18. Titled I Am…Sasha Fierce and featuring new songs such as If I Were a Boy mp3 the album is meant to represent the singer’s outgoing performer persona, which she has apparently dubbed Sasha Fierce.

Ok, anyone who has watched an episode of (or commercial for) America’s Next Top Model knows that this whole “fierce” thing is silly. Tyra Banks constantly refers to models and poses and everything else in the world as fierce, so much so that, apparently, even Beyonce wants in on the action.

Seriously?

Ten years into your career is a little late for a name change, joking or not (Prince, Diddy, we’re looking at you). Remember when Garth Brooks tried to reinvent himself as an Australian rockstar named Chris Gaines with a movie and concept album (and a shaggy blond wig)? It failed miserably and has made him something of a laughing stock among music fans.

It’ll be interesting to see how fans react (or if they react at all) when Beyonce/Sasha’s new album hits stores next week.

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).

Top Rock Star Weddings

11. David Bowie and Iman: Married 16 Years
A rockstar and a supermodel? Sounds like the recipe for marital success to us!
Free David Bowie MP3—Rebel Rebel MP3

10. John Cougar Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin: Married 16 Years

9. Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa: Married 17 Years

8. Jon Bon Jovi (Bon Jovi) and Dorothea Hurley: Married 19 Years
Known for writing catchy love songs, it’s no surprise that Bon Jovi married his childhood sweetheart.

7. George Harrison (Beatles) and Olivia Trinidad Arias: Married 23 Years (until Harrison’s death in 2001).

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

3. Ringo Starr (Beatles) and Barbara Bach: Married 27 Years
The Beatle drummer found happiness with one of the Bond Girl beauties from the James Bond films, lucky fella.

2. Paul McCartney (Beatles) and Linda McCartney: Married 29 Years (until Linda’s death)
Paul and Linda had one of the best marriages in rock’n’roll history. Unfortunately, things with Heather Mills didn’t go quite as well.

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!

Gwen Stefani Baby Name Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Ugh.

Published August 22nd, 2008 by Karen

photo credit: compulsiveprep_8

Ex-Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and his questionably blonde popstar wife Gwen Stefani have just spawned another impending pop culture disaster. No, not a sequel to Stefani’s impossibly annoying “Hollaback Girl,” but a second baby.

The couple welcomed their second son Thursday afternoon in LA. Joining the duo’s two-year-old son Kingston is the considerably more awkwardly named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.

Poor kid.

At least Kingston is a cool name, with a neato reggae vibe. Poor Zuma is doomed to a lifetime of Zima and Zune jokes (do they even make that stuff anymore?).

Do you think the nurse rolled her eyes when the couple announced the baby’s name for the first time?

Zuma, Suri, Knox, Apple—these names are silly, but we have to admit it sure beats another boatload of kids name Kaitlin, Madison and Michael.

Congratulations, or our apologies, whichever you prefer.

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.

John Mayer’s Music, ’80s Hair, Blog Must Be Stopped!

Published May 9th, 2008 by Karen

Ok, we’ve let this go on for far too long—John Mayer must be stopped!

Seriously, could we ship this guy off to some remote Antarctic region where he will be cut-off from over-eager paparazzi and internet access for his own nonsensical blogging?

In recent months, the adult contemporary singer/guitarist (read: more boring than Matchbox 20) has become a media darling thanks to a string of romances with the likes of Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and, now, apparently, Jennifer Aniston.

That’s fine and dandy, but we prefer to know as little as possible about the author of “Your Body is a Wonderland” (aka one of the most annoying songs ever written. EVER).

Making matters worse, Mayer has taken up residence in the blog world, using his personal page as a forum to discuss such important topics as why ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson isn’t as dumb as everyone thinks she is (um, yeah right), and, most recently, his valiant attempt to fulfill his lifelong ambition of having perfectly feathered ‘80s hair a la Michael J. Fox circa Back to the Future. He even encouraged readers to submit poetry about his new retro hair-do.

We thought his music was bad, but it turns out this guy’s blander-than-bland personality may be even worse than his sickeningly sweet ballads (check out the “Daughters” video, if you dare).

Honestly, if the most noteworthy thing about your career is that you just got a silly haircut, maybe you’re doing something wrong? Regardless, this guy is all over TV and magazines, so somebody must be interested in him, we guess…But we’re tired of hearing about him!

So, in addition to making the guitar seem utterly lame, Mayer poised to ignite a trend almost as horrible Rob Thomas albums and faux hawks.

Incidentally, his latest gal pal, Jennifer Aniston, the former Mrs. Brad Pitt, was once renowned for her trendy hair-style, the Friends-era “Rachel” hair-do. She might be able to offer grooming advice, now let’s hope hooks up with someone to offer him musical guidance as well.

What Do You Think?

Is John Mayer cool, or a complete dork?

Scarlett Johansson Wedding a Publicity Stunt Because Her Album Stinks?

Published May 7th, 2008 by Karen

The announcement of Scarlett Johansson’s engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds is a happy occasion, we guess. But, we can’t help think the timing is just a little too Hollywood perfect.

News of the pale blond one’s betrothed status hit the web just as negative reviews of her album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, and lead single “Falling Down” mp3, began to emerge. There is also a boring video for the boring song, here.

Given that a large number of listeners have panned the inexplicable album of Tom Waits covers, maybe Reynolds popped the question just to make his girl feel better? Or to take some of the attention off of her horrible record and redirect it to her shiny new diamond ring?

Perhaps this engagement is merely a consolation prize for having released such a horrible album?

Then again, Johannson’s beau may not be the best judge of music—afterall, he was formerly engaged to Alanis Morissette, AKA, the most annoying female singer ever to sell a zillion albums. (Remember her Dave Coullier-bashing hit, “You Oughta Know” mp3? Ick.)

Anyway, you can see Scarlett’s lovely new engagement ring, here. Rumor has it that Beatle-spawn Stella McCartney wants to design Johansson’s wedding gown when the time comes.

If you like to look at trainwrecks, check out reviews and listen to Scarlett’s album here.

Mariah Carey Getting Married, Again? Run, Nick Cannon, run!

Published May 1st, 2008 by Karen

While celebrity watchers were likely disappointed by the super-secret/super-boring secret wedding of Beyonce and Jay-Z, a new superstar is set to take over the bridal spotlight.

Mariah Carey has been spotted sporting a rather hefty diamond ring, which AOL confirms is an engagement ring from boyfriend Nick Cannon.
Carey, 39, and Cannon, 27, have been dating recently, though neither has officially commented on the hot wedding rumor.

Carey, who is riding high on the record-breaking success of her latest album, E=MC2, is also unveiling a new film project, Tennessee. Her return to acting is a questionable move, given that her infamously terrible role in the semi-autobiographical flick Glitter nearly ruined her career.

An actor, MTV personality and rapper, Cannon rose to fame as star of Nickelodeon’s All That and the Nick Cannon Show, and went on to appear in films such as Drumline and Men in Black II. He has been previously linked with singer Christina Milian and Kim Kardashian, and was recently briefly engaged to a Victoria’s Secret model.

Given Carey’s outgoing personality, it seems unlikely that she’ll keep her big day under wraps the way Beyonce did. Stay tuned for more news, photos and wedding day details as the big day approaches.

In the mean time, take a look at the giant rock she’s sporting on her engagement finger, here.

Rock of Love 2 Winner Wonders What’s Under Bret Michaels Bandana?

Published April 18th, 2008 by Karen

It has been a busy week in the music world, but our favorite story of the week is Bret Michaels FINALLY revealing what is under his bandana. Bald? Wig? Weave? Keep reading…

VH1 wrapped up another season of the surprisingly popular celebrity skank-a-thon, oops, we mean, dating show, Rock of Love.

The show stars Bret Michaels, singer for ‘80s glam rock band Poison, known for songs such as “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Talk Dirty to Me.”

This season’s winner of Bret’s, um, love, was a girl named Ambre. You can see the dramatic final scenes, here.

Unfortunately, Michaels didn’t find true love, he’s already talking about the possibility of Rock of Love 3.

Of course, the biggest mystery of the show isn’t finding out who Bret’s new special lady is, it’s finding out what secret is concealed beneath his ever-present bandana.

Once part of his signature style, in recent years onlookers have started to suspect that the bandana covering his shiny blond hair is there to conceal Bret’s baldness and to hold on his wig.

Turns out, they were right. Sort of.

AP reports that Bret finally revealed what is under his scarf, “My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do the show without it on all the time and they won’t film me. They are like, “Put your bandanna back on. It is your image.” It is my signature thing.”

Now, if someone could just convince him to stop wearing so much lipgloss…

Seriously though, maybe he should take a cue from Jessica Simpson and launch his own line of hair extensions for aging rockstars?

In other news, Bret’s Poison bandmate, drummer Rikki Rockett, was arrested in March on sexual assault charges.

""Thanks for a very nice post.""

Beyonce Wedding Dress, Photos, Ring, Pregnancy Rumors—We’re Waiting!

Published April 7th, 2008 by Karen

Beyonce and Jay Z reportedly got married in New York over the weekend. Fans are eagerly waiting for photos of Beyonce’s wedding dress and a peek at the wedding rings, but we’re actually happy the couple was able to keep things so secret—it’s not easy to do!

Of course, they could probably make a fortune if they decided to sell wedding photos to a magazine. Not that they need the money (Jay-Z is about to close a $150 Million deal with a tour promotion company, LiveNation).

In honor of the latest celebrity super-couple to tie the knot, we’re taking a look at some other musical marriages—some of them worked, and some of them didn’t. We’re sure that pregnancy rumors are just around the corner for the newlyweds, so we’re looking at how many kids these famous musical duos have as well.

We’ll have to wait and see how Beyonce and Jay Z stand the test of time (and if kids are in the plan), but it’s no secret that they stand a better chance than, say, Whitney and Bobby!
