<p>Yesterday was a special day for Ashlee Simpson with the birth of her new boy.  Wondering how exotic this time around a celebrity couple pulls off naming a child?</p>
<blockquote><p>Simpson-Wentz, 24, delivered a boy, named Bronx Mowgli Wentz, on Thursday, and all are doing well, People quoted a spokesperson as saying.</p>
<p>The report did not specify a location, but rival tabloid <span class="yshortcuts">In Touch Weekly</span> reported earlier on Thursday that Simpson-Wentz was at <span class="yshortcuts" style="-moz-initial;">Cedars-Sinai Medical Center</span> in <span class="yshortcuts" style="-moz-initial;">Los Angeles</span>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bronx and Mowgli.  That name alone encompasses so many different characteristics.  For one, it sounds like when this kid grows up, he might be able to take on both of his waify parents with just an aggressive name as Bronx.  However, the Mowgli thing is confusing.  Why would anyone ever name their child after a naked Indian boy who runs around in thier underwear?  I&#8217;m guessing that is something he&#8217;ll have to ask his father later on.  I can only hope if there is anything that gets passed on from her mother, it&#8217;s not her inability to lip sync.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img class="right" src="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/14/images/20081114_silverman_190x190.jpg"/><br /><p>Last week, anonymous sources and "network insiders" assured "Page Six" that <em>My Own Worst Enemy</em> and <em>Lipstick Jungle</em> &mdash; the two shows that NBC reportedly axed from its schedule recently &mdash; were <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/my_own_worst_enemy_not_ben_sil.html">all the fault of Universal Media Studio president Katherine Pope</a> and <em>certainly</em> not the work of impeccably eyebrowed network wunderkind Ben Silverman. We thought the quotes ("They call her the black widow. Every program she touches turns to death") sounded a little Silvermanian, and apparently the entire TV industry agreed! The Daily Beast's Kim Masters <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-11-19/ben-silvermans-unlikely-rise/1/">reports</a> that "the industry's collective assumption was that the item came, directly or not, from Pope&rsquo;s boss, Ben Silverman, head of NBC." ("Page Six? What is Katharine Pope doing on Page Six?" says a top executive at a rival network, who is clearly ABC's Steve McPherson. "It's obvious where it came from.") Most hilarious of all, as Masters points out, is that Pope has frequently been mentioned as a possible replacement for Silverman should his oft-rumored firing ever come to pass. </p>

<p>Also, totally apropos of nothing, we wonder who authored the second comment on <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/11/ben_silverman_discusses_advert.html">this post</a>. </p>

				Time is being coy about the inevitable naming of Barack Obama as Person of the Year, but GQ is all set to unveil its choice.<b> The president-elect appears on the December cover as a Man of the Year, though he has to share in a rotation with Michael Phelps (that other winner this year), Leonardo DiCaprio and Jon Hamm of Mad Men. </b>The tribute to Obama is written by Sen. Ted Kennedy, who endorsed Obama for the Democratic nomination at a crucial stage.<br />
<br />
Some titles (including GQ rival Esquire) have made do with pick-up art throughout the campaign season and since Obama won, but GQ sent Mark Seliger to join the candidates press corps and hope for two minutes access. He got just under that time in Philadelphia, shooting Obama in front of a white sheet hung in a doorway after a rally. It was very guerrilla, Seliger told WWD.<br />
<br />
GQ put Obama on its cover in September 2007, selling 245,105 copies on the newsstand, slightly down from the comparable issue in 2006. In the story, chief strategist David Axelrod told Ryan Lizza, Frankly, I could do with fewer cover stories generally....It can get overdone. This is a really profound guy in many ways, and you dont want him trivialized. These days, Obama has created his own newsstand bounce among weeklies and commemorative editions bearing his face.<br />
<br />
Compared to the more boyish and eager cover last year, Seliger said, I think he looks really like a man. He looks a little bit more mature and he certainly looks wiser and strong.<br />
<br />
One of last years Men of the Year was Bill Clinton, who reportedly threatened to yank access if GQ did not kill an unfavorable story by Joshua Green about his wifes campaign. At the time, GQ editor in chief Jim Nelson told the Washington Post, I guarantee and promise you, if Id have had a great Hillary piece, I would have run it. Much of the material ended up running in The Atlantic, by that point illuminating the internal squabbles that helped derail her campaign.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Robert Pattinson's 'Twilight' brings the dawn of a deadly new dreamboat</p>
<p>BY MARK ELLWOOD</p>
<p>Sunday, November 16th 2008, 4:00 AM </p>
<p>"Whenever I tried to be funny in auditions, I'd always get, 'He's way too scary. This is supposed to be a funny part and he was terrifying,'" recalls British actor Robert Pattinson, furrow-browed. But though those frightening table reads might have nixed his potential as a rom-com anchor, they served him well for his breakout part: "Twilight's" impossibly perfect, undead heartthrob Edward Cullen.</p>
<p>"It was ridiculous, the descriptions of the character from page 1 - 'He comes in, achingly beautiful.' It was an embarrassment to even go to the audition," he recalls.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, he aced the part. The role wasn't his first attempt at fang-bearing - "I remember when [HBO's] 'True Blood' was first starting out. I auditioned for it and didn't get it."</p>
<p>Pattinson wasn't fazed once he was cast in "Twilight" (which opens Friday). He easily mastered an American accent without a dialect coach. "Every actor I like is American - I mean, I always say I've stolen things from James Dean's voice, the way he slurs his words, just for chatting up girls and stuff."</p>
<p>But it's Hugh Grant, not Dean, he most frequently calls to mind. So much about the two upper-class Brits is the same: wide-set eyes, schoolboy baffledness, a bumble-and-mumble manner - even an equally floppy thatch of hair, which Pattinson said he hasn't washed for six weeks. </p>
<p>He has Grant's aw-shucks modesty, too. "I still don't understand why people love the character to this obsessive degree, the chivalrousness and opening doors and stuff. Don't understand why a teenage girl would care."</p>
<p>He only realized the coming tsunami of adulation after appearing at the recent Comic-Con convention. "Until the moment I walked on stage, I had no idea - then they put the word 'Twilight' on the screen and 7,000 girls were screaming for 45 minutes."</p>
<p>Since then, Pattinson's personal appearances to promote the film have been mobbed. At the NYC Apple Store, a frenzied meet-and-greet had to be canceled due to fan hysteria.</p>
<p>Reaching this level of fame is a strange experience for Pattinson. He started as model in London, working for Nicole Farhi, among others. "I was doing it at 12, the youngest person in my agency out of the girls or boys. I was so ridiculously skinny I looked like a girl, but that was the period where they loved androgynous-looking people."</p>
<p>Then he joined a drama club simply because all the pretty girls went there. He and best friend Tom Sturridge - whose father, Charles, is a well-known British director - were soon auditioning together, often for the same part. "We go up against each other every single time, even though we look completely different." </p>
<p>Both Tom and Robert were cast in the Reese Witherspoon remake of "Vanity Fair," but Pattinson's part didn't make the final cut.</p>
<p>"But that's why I got 'Harry Potter' - the casting director felt guilty," he laughs. You'll remember Pattinson as the doomed Cedric Diggory. "I wouldn't mind doing more 'Harry Potter' because you get paid in pounds."</p>
<p>From there, he got the equally doom-laden role of Edward. And now, only teen dream Zac Efron, the fleet-footed icon of "High School Musical," can rival Pattinson's star trajectory.</p>
<p>He and Efron met behind the scenes at MTV's Video Music Awards, and the world didn't implode when 'tween matter and anti-matter came together. "He's such an iconic face, the embodiment of the modern face of celebrity," Pattinson muses about Efron. "But he was the opposite of how I thought he'd be - completely upfront and honest. You'd think people will be really media-trained and he's really not."</p>
<p>But Efron can relate to that distinctive brand of fame both will experience - hormonally powered devotion. "The fans are very judgmental - they have very specific ideas of how you should live your life," says Pattinson. "Who would have thought teenage girls would be the most moralistic?"</p>
<p>He recalls how his sleepy-eyed expression has been mistaken for drug-taking. "Yeah, right, I'm going to my Disney interview smoking crack," Pattinson says sarcastically.</p>
<p>Although Efron has juggled singing and acting with aplomb, life-long musician Pattinson (who even croons one of the anthems on "Twilight's" soundtrack) shrugs off the suggestion he could record an album now. "I wouldn't do it at the same time as acting. I mean, the whole thing I find quite embarrassing. I don't like the idea of saying, 'You're in the public eye, now is the time to release an album because people will buy it.' I don't care if people buy it or not."</p>
<p>He's sanguine about success.</p>
<p>"My attitude from the beginning has been, 'If you start failing, do not start going on reality TV shows.'"</p>
<p>Well, except maybe "America's Next Top Model." Pattinson breaks into a wide, beaming grin when he mentions an upcoming engagement. "I'm doing 'Tyra' in a few weeks and I'm really excited about it. I love that show. It's my favorite TV show."</p>
<p>The "Model" judging panel, no doubt, would tell him to vamp it up. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.myfashionlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/beyoncegotham.jpg" alt="Beyonce Gotham Magazine" width="520" height="411" class="attachment wp-att-9816 centered" /></p>
<p>Style icon&#8230; Beyoncé&#8230;the two words are rarely (if ever) uttered in the same sentence. Is that about to change? Since the un-official announcement of her marriage to Jay-Z and the announcement of a third solo album&#8230;oh and an alter ego dubbed Sasha Fierce, B’s sense of style has done a u-turn. </p>
<p><span id="more-9811"></span></p>
<p>Queen B or Sasha Fierce (honestly we can’t keep up!) is on a mission to up her fashion credibility. She’s opted for more fashion forward photo shoots to promote her latest album and the golden haired one spent <a href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/fashion/280817/beyonc-spends-thousands-in-topshop-shopping-spree.html" target=blank">six hours in Topshop</a> while in London last week - (sources say it took two hours to check out all her purchases which included <a href="http://www.myfashionlife.com/archives/2005/06/11/ashish-gupta/" target=blank">Ashish&#8217;s complete collection</a>).  Her sparkly jewel tone numbers have been replaced with classic, minimal pieces and she recently gained a few brownie points when she chose to wear and perform in Gareth Pugh at the MTV EMA’s. A <a href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/general/photos/0,,20219137_20233742_20527486,00.html" target=blank">self-confessed fan</a> of Chanel and a lover of all things Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier, Pugh was definitely an odd but a successful choice. </p>
<p>Her fashion evolution could be credited to her nemesis Rihanna who’s always had a stylish edge over her rival. It could also be down to Etta James. Beyoncé plays Etta in the new movie Cadillac and it appears the character left an impression on her. Speaking to <a href=" http://www.gotham-magazine.com/cover_story_1108.html">Gotham magazine</a> Beyoncé admitted,</p>
<blockquote><p>“One thing playing Etta James taught me is to be fearless,” she adds. “And it taught me I can’t be afraid or ashamed of the things that I like, even if it’s shocking to people. I know it’s time to take a chance. I don’t have a need to do another record to make more money or become a bigger superstar.” </p></blockquote>
<p>Is it all a little too late? Often criticized for being boring and ostentatious can Beyonce ever be a style icon in your eyes? Or will she forever be an over-styled pop diva? </p>
<p>My two pence worth? <a href="http://www.myfashionlife.com/archives/2008/10/14/the-gareth-pugh-aesthetic-can-you-handle-it/" target=blank">Roisin Murphy looked good in Pugh</a> but Beyoncé was smoking hot! However to go as far as dubbing <a href="http://www.myfashionlife.com/tag/beyonce/" target=blank">Beyoncé</a> a style icon is like crediting Victoria Beckham as a fashion designer&#8230;it&#8217;s a dream for both but not exactly the reality. But who knows&#8230;I might have to eat my words in a year or two.</p>

<p><strong>Latest event in her Career:</strong></p>
<p>Keeley Hazell is the female face For the Sony PS3 Game Motorstorm</p>
<p>Sony Computer Entertainment presented Keeley as the face of its MotorStorm Pacific Rift for PLAYSTATION 3 on launching the game on Thursday 6 November</p>
<p>Keeley Rebecca Hazell (born on 18 September 1986 in Lewisham, London, England) is an English glamour model noted for her large, beautiful and natural breasts (32E)</p>
<p><strong>Latest event in her personal life</strong></p>
<p>release of a private tape</p>
<p>In early January 2007, a private tape of Hazell and ex-boyfriend Lloyd Miller was released on the internet. The video was shot whilst the couple were on holiday in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain during the previous year, on or about 30 May 2006.</p>
<p>Following the tape&#8217;s leak, Hazell was reported to have been very upset, and she called the police in an attempt to find out who leaked the tape. The video is still widely available on the Internet.</p>
<p><strong>What did she and what is she doing:</strong></p>
<p>As a teenager, Hazell was a frequent truant and stayed out late on school nights drinking. She confesses to having only taken five GCSE examinations due to being ejected from several of them; however, she did very well in mathematics and English.</p>
<p>As of November 2006, Hazell lived in an apartment in the London Docklands.</p>
<p>In January 2006, Hazell made headlines when Chelsea F.C. football player Joe Cole was beaten up at a party held at her Grove Park house. She spoke to The Sun in March, denying rumours surrounding the incident.</p>
<p><img class="photo" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1174/1431729280_c17698a8a8.jpg" alt="Keeley Hazell: symbol of beauty." /><br />
<a title="Keeley Hazell: symbol of beauty." href="http://flickr.com/photos/43601403@N00/1431729280/" target="_blank">Keeley Hazell</a></p>
<p><strong>Modelling Career</strong></p>
<p>At 16 years of age, Hazell left school to work as a hairdresser. Her work colleagues persuaded her to try her luck at modelling. At 17, she competed in The Daily Star&#8217;s &#8220;Search for a Beach Babe&#8221; contest and won. Still not old enough to pose on Page 3, she went to study fashion at Lewisham College. But later, a friend told her about The Sun&#8217;s Page 3 Idol competition. Despite some initial uncertainty about entering the contest, she submitted some photos. She was eventually chosen the winner in December 2004. She won £10,000 worth of &#8220;sexy clothes&#8221; and &#8220;a one-year membership of the Rex cinema and bar&#8221;. Three cast sculptures were made of her bust by sculptor Leigh Heppell. Two are in the Sun offices and one is in her house.</p>
<p>Another part of Hazell&#8217;s Page 3 Idol win was a one-year exclusive glamour modelling contract with The Sun. She is currently being handled by Jon Fowler.</p>
<p>Hazell regularly featured in Zoo and continues to appear in The Sun at least once every two weeks. She has been on the cover of The Sun&#8217;s 2006 and 2007 Page 3 calendars, in addition to her own wall calendars, the 2007 edition selling 30,000 copies in its first few days of release. In April 2008, Hazell left Zoo and signed an exclusive deal to appear in their rival magazine Nuts.</p>
<p>Hazell was the face of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe&#8217;s Formula One 06 video game for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and F1 CE for PlayStation 3. She is currently the face of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift for PlayStation 3.</p>
<p>Hazell had a small role in the full-length version of Cashback, playing &#8220;Frozen Girl in Sainsbury&#8217;s.&#8221; She was in talks with producers to be in a movie based on the television series Baywatch.</p>
<p>Alongside IT expert Gary Schwartz, Hazell is the presenter of Byte Me TV, an online programme that explains technology in an easy to understand way.</p>
<p>In 2008, Hazell appeared on the BBC Three documentary Page Three Teens.</p>
<p>Keeley released a pop music single called &#8220;Voyeur&#8221; in 2008.</p>
<p><strong>Charitable work</strong></p>
<p>Hazell was hailed by the Conservative Party in December 2006 as an &#8220;environmental hero&#8221; for her campaigns in The Sun, giving environmental tips such as turning lights off during sex and using digital cameras. She was named alongside the likes of David Attenborough, Prince Charles and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Tories&#8217; list.</p>
<p>She has backed a major breast cancer awareness campaign for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The campaign called TALK TLC aims to promote Breakthrough&#8217;s breast health message about the need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. Hazell has also signed up to take part in the Breakthrough Generations Study consisting of 100,000 women and spanning 40 years - the study aims to be the largest and most comprehensive of its kind.</p>

<p>The Take You Down hitmaker, who still denies he is dating the Umbrella singer, says he deserves the title of the best mover in music. </p>
<p>He says, "Usher is a good dancer and he's a great guy but when it comes to dancing I think I'm better.</p>
<p>"I don't mean to sound arrogant but I know I could take him on the dance floor."</p>
