We're not gonna say what we think of the baby name Bronx Mowgli Wentz, the first son of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and, uh, "singer" Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, but you have to admit it's a bit more geographically minded than, say, Apple Blythe or Suri.

The Bronx, of course, comes from New York's northernmost borough, which is trying--though not that hard--to lure some of the city's more than 40 million annual tourists. We're surprised Pete didn't go for Manhattan, though, given that his bar-slash-club Angels & Kings is in the East Village.

As for that middle name, it's Mowgli--not mogwai. It comes from Rudyard Kipling's story "In the Rukh," and the same character later starred in The Jungle Book. A boy raised by wolves in the jungle, Mowgli is later befriended by a forest ranger during the British rule of India, a period Kipling knew intimately: He was born in Bombay when it was still called that. The city, now Mumbai, is home to a museum about his life and works.

Two days ago we wrote about actress Winona Ryder's taking suddenly sick on an LAX-LHR British Airways flight. Now rumors are surfacing that Ryder didn't get the flu or food poisoning--it was the Xannies! Unless it's just a bunch of Heatheresque media outlets trying to ruin her life, that is.

Ryder, who was headed to London to work on the new "Star Trek" prequel (in which she plays Spock's mom), was released after she had her stomach pumped, but according to Gawker--who would know--that's a common treatment for a Xanax overdose or taking it in combination with something you shouldn't, like alcohol. Of course, if Winona truly hates flying, the tranquilizers could have been a big help in surviving that long-haul flight, but they're a double-edged sword.

We're not airplane-drug experts, so let us just say: See your doctor. Ryder has turned up quite well in Madrid where she attended a Marie Claire event on Thursday night.

Does this mean the fake British accent is going away? Madonna (seen above at a UNICEF event with Rihanna) and Guy Ritchie have reportedly come to a divorce agreement in which the Material Girl will stay in New York and her former husband will remain in London.

It was only after she married the director Ritchie that Madonna bought property in merrie olde England. Now, according to People, their shared sons Rocco and David Banda will split their time between the two cities, while Madge's daughter Lourdes from a previous marriage relationship will live in New York full time.

This does nothing to dispel the rumors that Madonna's next conquest is Yankees slugger A-Rod, who--surprise!--happens to live in New York. But we're kind of glad she picked us anyway.

Call your lawyer, John Krasinski! George Clooney sported a shaggy moptop as he played a pickup game in Roswell, New Mexico yesterday.

Clooney followed the production of his new movie "Men Who Stare At Goats" from Mexico to New Mexico, where the desert will double as Iraq. Locals can look forward to Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor coming through town for their roles in the movie, which is about the US Army's attempts to develop psychological warfare techniques.

Clooney directed and co-stared with Krasinski in the period football comedy "Leatherheads." Female fans might disapprove, but don't worry! It's just a wig.

Here's one risk we hadn't counted on: We don't normally watch "Bones" but this week your friendly neighborhood anthropologists took on a travel-related case, and boy, is it gross. This is the first episode of "Bones" we've ever watched but we'll go ahead and spoil it for you here.

Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan (David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel) were on their way to Wuhan to check out some prehistoric bodies when they accidentally came across a real one... on the plane! And this passenger didn't fall asleep and never wake up in first class; the flight attendant found the remains in the plane's microwave. Yet another good reason never to buy food on a plane again!

Since the plane's still in American jurisdiction until landing, Dr. Brennan decides to examine the body and crack the case in the four hours they have left before landing, using readily available materials like a knitting needle and denture cream. Turns out the passenger's first class ticket didn't protect her from being murdered: A travel writer at DC Voyager magazine, she just filed a story about pilots with undisclosed DUIs and was off to China to relax when the teenage son of her married lover, who was drunk, shoved her in the oven and cooked her alive for six-and-a-half hours. Booth and Brennan were able to narrow down the suspects because the flight attendant saw the killer had First Class slippers on.

We feel pretty ill now knowing the dangers that await us--in first class even!--but it's hard to believe that the pilot would actually slow down the plane so investigators could have more time. In this era of high fuel prices, there's probably a law. Nor would, as at the end of the episode, an airline send a plane back with only three passengers in it, even if one was a nasty killer.

There's your urge to purge: Actress Winona Ryder was taken off a LA-London flight today by medics after getting sick on the plane.

Ryder was on British Airways Flight 282 when she fell to an unspecified illness, which led the pilot to request to be bumped up in the landing queue so she could get medical attention. She was taken to a hospital but discharged a few hours later. Get well soon! We don't want to dream of a world without Winona.
