Fall Out Boy

You may have heard the rumors claiming that Pete Wentz would be working with his girlfriend, Ashlee Simpson, on her upcoming album. Well folks, that is just not true.

Pete Wentz himself took time away from the Honda Civic Tour just to clear up such rumors. Unfortunately for Wentz and the reputation of his band, this is not the first time he’s had to do this. The man is a drama magnet.

“That’s pretty much the silliest recent rumor I have read,” Wentz told MTV News in an e-mail. “Mostly [because] I want no part in selling a relationship. I mean, it is not true. She hasn’t really played me any of [her album]. I heard part of a demo that I liked, though.

I mean, reports getting out are a bummer when they are absolutely not true. But at the same time you have to understand that this is part of the territory.”

Frankly, the territory he is referring to became his own ever since the incident of exposing himself naked back in March, 2006, which of course, leaked onto the internet and spread like wildfire (see “Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz Comments On … You Know, Those Photos”). And naturally, things only seemed to get more out of control when he picked up a celebrity girlfriend to call his own (see “Pete Wentz’s Bar Draws Jay-Z, Ashlee”). It doesn’t matter what day it is or what Pete is doing, you can always find new gossip sprouting up all over the web. It isn’t necessarily something that’s always been asked for or stopped, but Pete has seemed to move on from feeling ridiculous about it to finding it all hilarious.

“I don’t care much what people say about me, but I do care how it affects the rest of my band,” Wentz wrote. “I guess I’m just happy with aspects of my life that I haven’t been [happy with] in years, and I don’t feel like I should feel guilty for that. Sometimes, the rumors are laughable though.” Source.
