It seems to be tough time economically for Ashlee and Wentz as they are visiting each and every celebrity magazine to see who would like to buy the photos of their baby, Bronx Mowgli - but so far, no one is. A celebrity weekly insider told Page Six, "Pete and Ashlee have approached every single celebrity magazine with offers to sell their first photos, but nobody wants them. Covers of them tend not to sell well." 

The couple got married this May and Ashley was pregnant during her wedding. They welcomed a son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, into the world this November 21^st. They were so happy and proud to be parents. Pete gushed about his son. "Every time I see my son, it looks like he's landing on the moon and discovering new rocks and stuff," he told People magazine. "I mean, every time he looks at his hand, it's like he's Christopher Columbus making it across the ocean. It's pretty awesome." However it seems the scenario is little difficult for them now, otherwise why a happy parent will beg like this to get their babies picture published?

Guy Richie and Madonna will finally get divorced at the High Court in London on Friday.  The couple is ending up their eight years of marriage. The divorce got finalized as Madonna, 50, and Ritchie, 40, reached a settlement over money and their kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3. London's Evening Standard reports that Madonna will keep the bulk of her estimated $500 million fortune intact, though Ritchie was entitled by law to a share of it. It was decided that Rocco and David will split time between the U.S. and London, while Lourdes, whose father is Carlos Leon, will live with her mother.

"[Madonna] walked away without any of his money, much to her credit," a friend told the U.K.'s Times. "He has done the same." "He could have hugely boosted his bank balance and set himself up for life, but he already feels he has enough money," another pal told the paper. "He also didn't want the whole thing dragging on in the public gaze for months and months and, in any case, his priority was the children's future." However a source close to the couple insists that's not true. "He's going to get a huge windfall, contrary to what's being reported," the source tells PEOPLE. After splitting last month, Madonna has been linked with baseball star Alex Rodriguez (but now he is also linked with Jessica Simpson) and Guy Richie was enjoying the freedom with his friends. Good luck to the both of them!
