Pete Wentz: I Talk to the Baby All the Time

Originally posted 07/06/2008 10:50AM

These days when he isn't rocking out with Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz can often be found speaking to his unborn child or reading books about fatherhood.

"I talk to it all the time," he told PEOPLE Saturday at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 86 afterparty in Las Vegas. "The Expectant Father tells you that the woman, when she speaks, the baby hears her all the time. And the father's voice isn't familiar unless you talk to it, so I talk to it all the time."

Armin Brott's parenthood tome is just one of the books the bassist is reading to prepare himself for his and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's first child together.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz displayed her new mommy-to-be figure in a fitted black dress at the opening of husband Pete Wentz's bar Angels & Kings in Chicago.

The party in Wentz's hometown on Tuesday night doubled as another 29th birthday bash for the Fall Out Boy bassist, who also celebrated with a party at Foxtail in L.A. on his actual birthday, June 5.

Wentz and Simpson-Wentz, 23, arrived in an SUV around 7:30 p.m. and were greeted by his parents. Simpson-Wentz, in black high heels, posed for a few pictures with her husband before heading inside with her in-laws.

The group of about 10 arrived sans reservations, but, no problem, the restaurant's manager said they were able to get a booth in the back. According to the manager, the couple looked "so adorable," and the group was laughing throughout lunch. Before leaving, the newlyweds indulged in another tradition: They signed the restaurant's wall.

Fall Out Boy Contemplates a New Release

Originally posted 06/03/2008 07:45PM

A new marriage and a baby on the way won't keep Pete Wentz from releasing a new album with fellow members of Fall Out Boy. The only question is when.

"The band is really not talking about a record yet, but we're all itching to do one," guitarist Patrick Stump tells Billboard.com, adding that at Wentz's recent wedding to Ashlee Simpson, "we were like, 'We should do another record.'"

Stump hopes the band performs a few concerts this year to avoid getting rusty. Meanwhile, they are concentrating on "life stuff." While Wentz prepares to start a family, Stump is directing a short film and producing music by Gym Class Heroes.

“We're always writing," says Stump. "We've had material since [2007's] Infinity on High dropped. So there is plenty just floating around.”

“There is nothing 'hiatus' or 'indefinite' about what's going on with Fall Out Boy right now."
