"Gordon Wagner"
What's wrong with "Queen Latifah"? She can't have a stage name? Do you object to "Cary Grant" (Archibald Leach) or "Lauren Bacall" (Betty Perske)? Those are just off the top of my head--I am sure there are more recent examples. For that matter, Jack White of the White Stripes wasn't born "White"--he took Meg White's last name when they got married, and kept it when they divorced.
As for the Wal-Mart thing, yeah, I wish she wouldn't shill for them, because I really like her as an actress and personality, and the Wal-Mart association doesn't help.
