The pop star has finally popped.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and her rocker hubby Pete Wentz welcomed son Bronx Mowgli Wentz, their first child together, Thursday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

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."

On the off chance she wasn't already, Madonna was just given carte blanche—by the British courts, if not her now ex-hubby—to pursue Alex Rodriguez as blatantly as she wants.

Likewise, Guy Ritchie is free to rock 'n' roll with whomever he pleases.

London's High Court this morning granted the onetime supercouple a preliminary decree of divorce. According to a sworn statement released by the court, it was Madonna who filed for the divorce, citing "unreasonable behavior" on Ritchie's part.

Michael Jackson's latest court battle keeps getting weirder. And he hasn't even shown up yet.

Another day of testimony in the case—in which Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al-Khalifa maintains the singer reneged on a recording contract, among other money-making music ventures—yielded yet more good-natured remarks about both the superstar and the Bahraini royal, including claims they considered each other "brothers."

This time, the gushing came courtesy of Jackson's former personal assistant, who not only backed her boss' seemingly naive belief that the sheik's $7 million-plus payout was nothing more than a gift, but also revealed the seemingly mind-boggling detail that the erstwhile King of Pop is not currently in possession of a bank account.

Suddenly Jackson's never-ending financial problems make a little more sense.

The fan petitions are still growing. The movie is still not coming out.

Friday was supposed to be the day Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opened. Instead, over the summer, Warner Bros. rescheduled the franchise's latest adventure for next July, a move that caused a fan upset that hasn't entirely settled.

"I think most fans are disappointed more than angry, and definitely skeptical of the real motive behind the delay," said Sara Greer, editor of the Harry Potter fan site MuggleNet.

The guest shots just keep coming on 30 Rock.

In the last few weeks, Oprah Winfrey played it cool and Jennifer Aniston played it crazy on the Tina Fey-Alec Baldwin sitcom, and this week Fey's Baby Mama costar Steve Martin showed up to add to the show's incredible talent pool.

As a creepy recluse, Martin steals the heart of Fey's Liz Lemon with his winning combination of agoraphobia, fondness for cupcakes and aversion to physical contact. But before it can all go wrong, Tracy Morgan uses a Japanese sex doll made in his own likeness to stop a suicide and bring a family together. Heartwarming stuff.

Believe it or not, Eminem has finally become a portrait in good taste.

The rapper has been unwrapped and immortalized in candy M&M's by artist Enrique Ramos, who transformed 8 pounds of candy (roughly a thousand sweet treats) into a portrait of Marshall Mathers. The Ripley's Believe It or Not! folks acquired the piece for one of their museums (or possibly one of their afternoon snacks).

What do you think? With this many calories, is it still fair to call him Slim Shady? Sound off with your art critiques in the comments. Just don't sugarcoat it, OK?
