As far as quirky baby names goes, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz's moniker Bronx Mowgli Wentz has to be right up there. You can tell us where it ranks in the grand pantheon of bonkers baby names, by taking our poll below.

And on a side note, one of our commenters on an earlier item pointed out the Wentz lad's luxury-auto friendly initials: BMW. Talk about your new frontier in sponsorship opportunities! It got me to thinking out of the box on baby names and how it could work for the rest of us. What about Skinny Jeans Sashimi Kia Reid? Or Skyy Appletini Laptop Reid? Or maybe Blackberry Pinkberry Ferrari Reid? Hey, all you sponsors out there, this could totally work! Call me.

Anyhoo, take our poll to let us know where little BMW ranks on the list, and give us some other star infant handles in the comments section.

Bigger than the latest Indiana Jones. Bigger than the biggest James Bond. That's how big Twilight was yesterday. 

The $37 million vampire flick, expected to have a killer opening day, had a monster opening day, grossing an estimated $35 million, Exhibitor Relations reported. One-fifth of that gross, or $7 million, came from Friday midnight screenings.

The box-office tracking firm said a $75 million Friday-Sunday gross was now a possibility. Going into Friday, $60 million was considered the movie's best-case scenario.

When the counting's done, Twilight's Friday take may rank as the 14th or 15th biggest opener of all time, having surpassed the debuts of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($25 million) and Quantum of Solace ($27 million), to name two recent blockbusters.

Bolt, the animated talking-dog movie, was curbed by Twilight, grossing $7 million on Friday, Exhibitor Relations said.

Hollywood loves type casting, so comebacking professional train wreck Mickey Rourke seems like a natural to play comebacking professional-wrestler train wreck Randy "The Ram" Robinson. The Wrestler's anti-hero underdog's prospects looks promising, however, in the hands of director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream), especially with Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei rounding out cast.

Rourke has always been a gifted dude, so we're hoping this is the movie that puts him firmly on the road to fulfilling his career's huge early promise in flicks like Diner, Body Heat and Rumblefish. Check out The Wrestler's trailer and let us know in the comments section whether there's an Oscar nom in the Mickey's future or if he's gonna get body slammed by the academy.

Burlesque bombshell Dita Von Teese is fighting her demons.  

The 36-year-old model and actress has filed a federal lawsuit against a company that put her photo on a book cover without permission.

Von Teese is seeking unspecified damages against Macmillan Publishers, which printed Patti O'Shea's In Twilight's Shadow, a paranormal romance novel about demon hunting.

The papers filed on Friday claim that Dita's face is "a valuable and integral portion of her celebrity persona" and that the company "commercially exploited her image and likeness to their own gain."

Von Teese is also suing the photo agency that provided the image.

Sometimes saying you're sorry really does make it all better.

David Duchovny has dropped the $1 million defamation lawsuit he filed last month against the U.K.'s Daily Mail over a bogus story that claimed he had an extramarital dalliance with a tennis instructor.

The tabloid printed an apologetic retraction Monday, acknowledging that its Oct. 19 item about the X-Files star and Edith Pakay was bogus.

"We now accept this is inaccurate and Ms. Pakay and Mr. Duchovny are only friends who used to play tennis occasionally," the statement read. "Their relationship went no further and was not a factor in Mr. and Mrs. Duchovny's separation.  We apologize to Ms. Pakay, Mr. Duchovny and to Mr. Duchovny's family."

The recently separated actor was out for blood just days after the article ran, calling the Mail's behavior "intentional and reckless."

Travis Barker is seeking a different kind of closure.

The former Blink-182 drummer has filed a negligence lawsuit against the owner and makers of what he claims was a "defective" Learjet that crashed Sept. 19, killing four and leaving Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein with severe burns. (View the lawsuit.)

Per court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Barker's camp believes that "one or more of the tires failed, leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600 foot runway" and the pilot made a "negligent attempt to abort the takeoff."

"The pilot's decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths," the suit continues.

Maybe Britney Spears was just waiting for the madness to die down—and the music to get turned up.

The popster, who chose to remain absent from what turned out to be her mistrial on an invalid-license charge and the majority of this year's conservatorship hearings, was in court Friday to talk business pertaining to dad Jamie Spears' control over her estate—namely, her plans to hit the road.

"There isn't a lot I can tell you about it," court spokesman Allan Parachini said during a brief press conference afterward. "There was discussion of Ms. Spears' future immediate business plans. Particularly touring in support of her album."
