Last night Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and beard Pete Wentz welcomed their new baby boy, Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Says E! Online about the birth:
The baby boy weighed in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 20½ inches.
“Proud new parents Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz welcomed new son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, late this evening,” a rep for the new mom told E! News. “Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!”
The birth comes almost three weeks after the 29-year-old Fall Out Boy mastermind told Ryan Seacrest that his 24-year-old missus was “very pregnant…She’s at the very end, and it could happen at any point.”
As for the tot’s name, Wentz told Seacrest they were not looking to go down in the annals of punchline-ready celebrity monikers.
“I want to meet the baby first. My friend said it—you’ve gotta have a baby with a name that could be a rock star or a senator, so he’ll get work either way.”
Oh sure, “whiny scruffy boy in a loincloth raised by wolves” positively smacks of rock stardom, or better yet, electoral success! Maybe if he gets elected to office, he can bring Baloo and Bagheera along as his advisors. The “Bear Necessities” sounds like a great political agenda to me!
Video footage of Rihanna stumbling offstage before passing out during a concert in Sydney last week has sparked a slew of new “Rihanna is pregnant” rumors. Media Take Out was the first to claim that Rihanna is with child, attributing her dizziness and fainting onstage to symptoms usually associated with the early stages of pregnancy. Okay, sure. It makes perfect sense. When Rihanna staggers around and eats the floor after barfing, it’s clearly because she’s “pregnant.” But when I do it, it’s because I’ve been “mixing my meds” and “drinking again.” That’s what you call a double standard, people.
Performing at the Victor Arena in New Zealand last month:
I know the first thing you think when you hear the name “Lindsay Lohan” is “Why doesn’t this girl have a couple of babies under her belt?” Well, don’t you worry — that’s all about to change. According to the NY Daily News
The 22-year-old star told Marie Claire, “I want to adopt a kid … A child in need or a newborn from another country. I’m not sure yet.” Lohan believes her own experience would make her that much more qualified as a mom.
If there’s one thing children thrive on — other than Mountain Dew and a public education — it’s emotional instability and substance abuse. That’s why so many famous people have kids. To “share the wealth,” as it were. The only way that little Lohan, Jr. could be any luckier is if he found himself a ward of the state or camped out in Josef Fritzl’s basement. Congratulations to the happy mom-to-be!
