Guys, if you’re having trouble meeting girls, let me give you once piece of advice that will have you set for life: join a band.

I don’t know what it is, but musicians have always had a certain sex appeal that just can’t be recreated in any other profession. From Elvis’ gyrating to Mick Jagger’s bizarre dance moves, women love a guy on a stage. Think about it--if Jim Morrison wore those leather pants while he was doing your taxes, it just wouldn’t be the same, would it?

And just like the rest of us, celebrities love their rock stars. That’s why so many of them have gone from fan to groupie. Sometimes it’s just a casual tryst, and sometimes it results in a rock star family. Here are our favorite celebrity Rock N’ Roll groupies.

Carmen Electra: Considering she looks like she should be on the cover of a cheesy 70s hair band album...
Kate Hudson's estranged father and Goldie Hawn's ex-husband, Bill Hudson, is totally selling out his family in his new tell-all book, "2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family."

The book will be released on November 1, but RadarOnline got an advanced copy of the novel and says that it includes some less-than-friendly digs at Kate Hudson.

Bill Hudson calls Kate Hudson a "spoiled brat."

While she seems like a happy-go-lucky flower child type who marries musicians and names her kids after search engines, Bill Hudson would beg to differ.

A month after being born, first-time dad Matt Bellamy shared a photo of him and Kate Hudson’s baby boy, little Bing.

Named after the search engine, kidding, Bing is short for Bingham Hawn Bellamy, born on July 9th in LA.

The proud dad tweeted the photo of Kate smiling and looking away from the camera while little baby Bing curls up to mom and a caption that reads, “Family life!”

Bing is the second child for Kate.

This is the first pic of baby debuted by the Hudson-Bellamy clan. The family stepped out with Bingham last Monday at LAX but he was completely concealed with a blanket.

Ashamed of your middle name? Well, don’t feel too bad, it could be Columcille. Yep, that’s Mel Gibson’s middle name. No wonder the guy is so angry all the time. He sounds like he’s been named after a cough medicine.

Sometimes celebs change their names, and with these bizarre monikers, who can blame them? Check out these celebrity middle names, and see whether they’re myth or fact!

Matt Paige Damon: Fact! It was his mother’s middle name, but I doubt childhood bullies cared.

Justin Marie Bieber: Myth! Bieber’s middle name is actually Drew. His girlfriend Selena Gomez’s middle name is Marie, however.

Star Bourbon Jones: Myth! But that’d be an awesome middle name, right? Star’s name is actually Starlet Marie Jones. She was born to be a diva.

Some crazy celebrity baby names seem like celebs are just looking around the room and naming things, “We shall name her Apple. Because there are several sitting on that counter.”

Hudson and Bellamy’s newborn son’s full name is Bingham...

Kate Hudson's rocker baby daddy, Matt Bellamy, revealed the name of the couple's newborn son: Bingham Hawn. We didn't expect a normal name—after all, they're celebrities. But this one sounds like someone from Boston trying to say, "bring 'em on." Bellamy tweeted:

"So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy. Born 7lb 12oz, on 9th of July."

It's been quite a year for celebrity babies...

So who is Matt Bellamy besides Kate Hudson's baby daddy?

5) Matthew is a Brit and the lead vocalist, guitarist, pianist and main songwriter for Muse. If you don't know who Muse it, then I'm sure the radio in your car broke in 2001.

Hollywood has got baby fever. So many A-Listers are sporting baby bumps I can’t keep track.

Let’s take a look at who’s knocked up in Tinseltown.

Victoria Beckham: Vicky B is my favorite pregnant celeb, because she doesn’t ever let her huge stomach stop her from being fierce. She recently kicked around a soccer ball with her son Cruz wearing 5-inch Louboutin heels and sporting an almost 8 month pregnant belly. What’s her favorite thing to nosh on while pregs? Diet Coke and crisps. Not sure, but I think crisps is a British way of saying potato chips.
How many times have we heard celebs say "sometimes you just know?" And then, a few months later, they "just know" they need a divorce.

But getting hitched fast works for a handful of people. For the rest of us, it just seems terrifying to commit to a lifetime with someone after only knowing them for a few months—or less. Here are some celebs who got married or engaged after only knowing each other for a short period of time.

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson: Jessica Simpson announced her engagement to the former NFL player after the two had only been dating for six months...
