Fall Out Boy Has Fun with Global Warming PSA

Originally posted 09/05/2008 11:40AM



The guys of Fall Out Boy went a little off script while recording a recent public service announcement about global warming.

The band did the 30-second PSA for dosomething.org, a Web site encouraging kids to get involved with everything from human rights to education.

It took a few tries to get the ad out, and the outtakes following the real ad are amusing.

In one cut scene, singer Patrick Stump jokes, "Carpool to save gas. Because I know you're in grade school and driving is what you do."

Fall Out Boy Contemplates a New Release

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."

Behind the Scenes of Fall Out Boy's 'Beat It' Video

Originally posted 04/28/2008 12:00PM


In their new video, Fall Out Boy pays homage to Michael Jackson with their cover of his iconic "Beat It" – and they're giving PEOPLE.com a glimpse at exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video.

"It's not an ode to a specific Michael Jackson video," bassist Pete Wentz tells PEOPLE. "There are between 25 and 50 nods to Michael Jackson in the video – some that you need to pause and do a frame-by-frame to figure it out."

Some of the tributes are obvious: moon-walking and one-gloved dancers, or the band's '80s-inspired wardrobe.

Also look for celeb cameos, including Arrested Development's Tony Hale as a karate sensei. "It's officially going to be my favorite video of ours just 'cause of Tony," says guitarist Joe Trohman.

Idol Carrie Eyes Jesse Metcalfe

Carrie Underwood's been seeing her hometown boyfriend for four months now, but that doesn't mean the American Idol star isn't going to look if, say, Jesse Metcalfe walked in the room. "He looks really nice. He looks toned and fit, but he's not scary, you know, like muscle-y," she tells us about the Desperate Housewives actor. And while Metcalfe has what she calls the ideal physique, Underwood says she needs to work on her own. "I don't really exercise," says this month's Self magazine cover girl, who was out celebrating her appearance on VH1's Most Wanted Bodies. "Before we go on tour I think I'm gonna work on that myself. I just want to be more toned. Jeans fit really great, but I can't wear a tight shirt or anything because it shows my rolls!"
