Pete Wentz denies pregnancy rumors
A couple of days ago Ashlee Simpson’s brooding mate, rocker Pete Wentz, e-mailed MTV to deny the claims that his intended bride was pregnant. He likened the stories of a pregnancy to a “witch hunt,” saying that the press was all too eager to drum up pregnancy rumors whenever celebrities got engaged. When asked directly if he was denying pregnancy reports he responded “yeah.”
This was after he and Ashlee made a stupid parody video that featured Ashlee wearing a big fake belly and acting like a hick. The credits listed “and the unborn baby, as himself,” and Pete said “Street date, July 2008″ as if he was disclosing Ashlee’s due date.
Ashlee Simpson gets flustered, calls pregnancy question “inappropriate”
When directly asked if she was pregnant during an an interview yesterday, Ashlee said “Some things you want to keep personal.” She did even more verbal sidestepping when MTV news asked her about it, and again said it was a personal matter:
The newly-engaged singer also told MTV News, ” I just think it’s an inappropriate question to ask any woman. For me, that’s something that I didn’t ever want to respond to, because I think it’s an inappropriate question.”
Simpson, however, did not put the rumors to rest. “Some things, you want to keep personal, and I think that when people deny [pregnancy reports], it’s probably because it’s something they want to keep personal.”

People claims Ashlee is pregnant and planning a shotgun wedding next month
The latest and most legitimate gossip magazine to claim that Ashlee is pregnant is People. They claim to have a source that states that not only is she pregnant, but that she and Pete are planning to marry next month “at a friend’s house in La Jolla, California.”
Great timing for Ashlee
All of this news comes at a time when Ashlee could definitely use the publicity for her third album, Bittersweet World, which is out next week. You can’t help but think it’s all less than a coincidence that it’s coming out now.
Ashlee is shown in the header image at JFK airport on 4/14/08. She is shown below visiting TRL yesterday, thanks to Splash News.
THAT’S IT.
I have a few not-so-wise words to these two people, and all the gossip magazines that follow them.
FUCK OFF AND DIE.
Someone, coffee! Pronto.
It would be truely awful if this was all timed with the release of her album & t-shirt line.
But I wouldn’t put it past Pimpa Joe to try to twist the news to his/her/thier advantage.
I feel bad for Pete, he’ll be stuck to that family forever
Well, it IS an inappropriate question. I mean, how many of us would just walk up to someone, like a co-worker, and ask point blank if she was pregnant? I certainly wouldn’t. At the same time, I’m not sure I’d blatantly lie about it, either. Oh well, if she is pregnant, I wish them the best.
Shotgun Wedding
Nice !
does she know Pete is gay?
Dear Ashlee,
What’s it like having a bigger dick than your fiance ?
bodhi, i always love and agree with what you write and look forward to your pithy and funny commentary, but i seriously doubt pete will be stuck permanently with the freako papa simpson clan, at least not any more than that other used-to-be son-in-law nick.
oh. my oops. you’re right. jess and nick didn’t have children. if ash is preggo, pete really will be dealing with mama ash and grandpapa joe forever. frightening. very frightening.
I wonder what Jessica Simpson thinks of this?
Ashlee Simpson, no matter what she does, is still ugly and can’t sing.
It is of course not a nice thing to say at all and I shouldn’t even think of putting it in a comment… But imagine what the child of Ashlee Simpson (pre or post-surgery) and Pete Wentz would look like. It’s a fun but frightening game.
😆 @ journey! Thanks!
I shudder to think of what telling her folks was like
Her answer is strangely evasive…who knows, maybe she is preggers.
It turns out that People magazine was right and Ashlee was pregnant with Pete’s child. They have actually been married now for almost two years, have a son and they seem very happy which is quite rare for Hollywood couples.
