It isn't just hardcore, underground bands from all walks of life are going this route. See LA's Baths, NYC's Cults, Austin's Stunts, etc.

The most obnoxious trend I've noticed is lo-fi electronic/ambient acts just using celebrity names. There are local bands around LA named Nicole Kidman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Mickey Rourke, etc. Though I have to give props to Truman Peyote.
