Pete Wentz denies Ashlee Simpson is pregnant

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Rocker Pete Wentz on Monday denied that his fiancee, pop star Ashlee Simpson, is pregnant after they announced their engagement.

Earlier in the day, Us and OK! magazines published stories on their Web sites claiming Simpson was pregnant also claim the baby was due in October.

But Wentz, the bassist for rock band Fall Out Boy, told MTV News “There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood … I mean we’re engaged, that’s true, and happy about it.”

In a e-mail, MTV News said it asked Wentz if he was denying the reports of Simpson’s pregnancy, and Wentz answered “Yeah.”

A representative for 23-year-old Simpson, the younger sister of actress and singer Jessica Simpson, issued a statement confirming the engagement and told “beyond that, there is nothing to add.”

Ashlee Simpson has been romantically linked to Wentz, 28, since 2006. The couple posted a statement at the social networking Web site in which they announced they would be getting married.

In addition to her career as a singer, Simpson had a role in the US television show “Seventh Heaven.” Her new album, “Bittersweet World,” is to be released this month.

Wentz co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001, and the band has built a loyal following with albums like 2005’s popular “From Under the Cork Tree.”

Brangelina wedding rumours run rampant

Monday, March 31st, 2008

There’s no speculation over whether she’s pregnant or not, all that’s left to do until the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s baby is wonder about their marriage status.

On Saturday, Star magazine sent journalists an e-mail that announced that Brangelina wedding took place at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel in New Orleans. Almost every celebrity weekly was on the story, scrambling to see whether they’d missed what would be the biggest marriage of 2008.
Rev. Tony Talavera from the chapel’s minister,firmly denied any such marriage. Furthermore, Talavera told that Star had offered him $3,000 to stick with its story and he told In Touch that it was Pitt’s rep that asked him to set the record straight with the media.

People magazine did reach Pitt’s rep, Cindy Guagenti, who said she had “no idea” whether Pitt and Jolie married. Us Weekly chimed in with a source who called the whole thing “complete and total bullsh–.”

Although Star modified its original story to say that its source was no longer standing by their information, there’s still no straight answer. It’s odd for a publicist to not follow up “I have no idea” with a clear yes or no, so what gives?

One publicist said that Guagenti and Pitt don’t communicate as often as you’d think. “When she says she has no idea, she really doesn’t. They don’t talk regularly.”

Although Saturday wasn’t good for the reporters who had to give up their weekends to chase the rumor, it is good for the weekly magazines. The marriage, or rumours, will easily make the deadlines for all of the celeb magazines. Expect to uncover the “real story” in just a few days’ time.

Wedding rumors swirl around Romo, Simpson

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Singer-actress Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo are secretly married, Simpson’s mother said. But Romo’s agent denied that the quarterback was married.

Simpson was leaving a Chili’s restaurant with her mother, Tina, on Tuesday when mama Simpson revealed the secret.

“Jessica is already married to Tony. What are you talking about?,” Tina Simpson reportedly said.
Simpson told reporter, “Well I guess if my mom said it, it must be true!”

She was previously married to Nick Lachey.

Romo’s agent, R.J. Gonser, laughed at the report and denied Romo got married.

Romo, whose Cowboys lost in the first round of the NFL playoffs, said earlier this year that he was thinking about marrying Simpson.

“I’m sure I’ll get married one day. I don’t know when though,” the 27-year-old said.
