According to MTV.com, the former member of Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz and faux punk teen queen, Ashlee Simpson have decided to get a divorce.

The couple has been married since May 2008. Simpson has reportedly filed “irreconcilable differences” at a Los Angeles courthouse. The couple seeks joint custody of their two-year-old son, Bronx.

TMZ.com reports that Simpson wants out due to Wentz’s unruly behavior. However, other sources claim that the break up is mutual and peaceful. The couple has been somewhat out of the spotlight for a year or so now. Simpson really dropped off the map once her son was born whereas, Wentz continued to tour and keep up his bad boy persona. The split doesn’t really come as a shock. So many of these celebrity couples are doomed to fail. Maybe Simpson will find solace in the arms of her ex-boyfriend, musician, Ryan Cabrera.

After months of speculation, Pete Wentz has confirmed that his band, Fall Out Boy, is no longer together.

The pop bassist stated on his blog that “Fall Out Boy is on break … but I can’t predict that I’d ever play in Fall Out Boy again.”

If that’s not enough, then just hear what frontman Patrick Stump had to say.

“I am not in Fall Out Boy right now,” he told Spin.com.

Wentz suggested that the breakup will be permanent, for he stated that “a hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old – and I don’t plan on either,” via his Twitter account.

But, at the same time, they didn’t rule anything out.

“There is the possibility that FOB will play again with or without me,” said Wentz.

And, “one way or another, the band will always be around,” added Stump.

Wow.

Sugar, they’re going down swinging.

Ashlee Simpson was seen instigating a fight with her husband, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Saturday, reports Perez Hilton. Wentz was celebrating the one year anniversary of his bar, Angels & Kings, following a performance by his band at the Blink 182 concert in his hometown of Chicago.

Eye-witnesses say an extremely drunk Simpson went up to her husband in the bar’s DJ booth and yelled at him to leave. “They fought,” reported a witness, ”she told him he was horrible in front of a whole group of people and made him leave his own party early. So they make a scene and leave the bar.”

The couple reportedly continued to fight once outside the bar, and Simpson chased a passerby down the street and forced him to erase photos he’d taken of the incident. Security then escorted the pair back to the corner where their driver picked them up in an SUV.

This follows an incident where Simpson publicly berated Wentz’s ex-girlfriend, Michelle Trachtenberg.

After welcoming Bronx Mowgli, a baby boy, bassist Pete Wentz is taking a “breather”.

“Obviously, elephant in the room, Pete just had a kid, so we’ve been taking a bit of a breather — more so than we normally would. I think an FOB breather is still a lot busier than anybody else’s,” frontman Patrick Stump told MTV News, “We’ve done some surprise shows, because — we’ve all talked about it — whenever you promise kids an album, and then you push it back, whatever reason, however idealistic, you still feel like you’re letting them down a bit.

FOB’s “Folie à Deux” album has been pushed back to December 16, 2008.

“So we’ve gone out and done some surprise shows in really small clubs.” Stump continues to MTV News, “And it’s been pretty cool, because we haven’t been playing a lot of the new material, so we’re getting that out there before we start performing the new stuff. That’s kind of been our main thing right now, you know? Obviously, it’s more important than anything happening at home.”

In an email to MTV.com Wentz said,

“We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple.”

I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend.”

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz announced their engagement last week, and now there are rumours that it may be a shotgun wedding.

OK! Magazine is reporting that 23-year-old Simpson is pregnant, and is due in October.

Simpson’s father, Joe, is a minister.

A source for the magazine said that Simpson and Wentz are “perfect for each other as any two people could be. They don’t spend a minute apart if they can possibly avoid it and are over the moon about the baby.”

As for wedding plans, the source said that “They’re planning on something in the Santa Barbara area probably by the end of May. Ashlee would like to walk down the aisle before she’s showing – although she is very cute the way she is always checking out her belly now and asking everyone, ‘am I showing yet?’ She’s leaning towards Vera Wang for her gown. Pete and his groomsmen are probably going to be in Dolce & Gabbana.”

Fall Out Boy may be one of the most successful pop rock groups in the current scene but they won’t be joining the rest of music’s finest come Grammy night. And they aren’t happy about it.

The group topped the charts with their album Infinity on High but record sales don’t seem to matter to members of the Recording Academy. The boys are calling it the ultimate snub.

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has made the group’s reaction to the snub very public by posting on their blog just hours after learning they weren’t given a single nomination.

“The first reaction is jealousy mixed with a slight sense of entitlement. We just want to be a part of your club. We feel like the Orphans in the movie ‘The Warriors,’ when we are just dying to be the Baseball Furies,” Wentz wrote MTV News reports. “We play the events for you and the right parties all the time (which is a bit embarrassing either for you or us, not sure which, possibly both. It’s kind of like being invited to a birthday party and then not allowed to eat the cake).”

Critics and fans alike took Wentz’s rant with mixed receptions. Some say the face of Fall Out Boy should suck it up stop whining, while others side with the rocker and think the group deserves recognition.

“People are reading [what I wrote] and they’re saying, ‘Oh, you’re Kanye, you’re bitter.’ And I totally admit that,” Wentz told MTV News.

He went on to say that the Academy gives awards to the same group of artists every year. This year’s group includes Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Fergie, The Foo Fighters and Amy Winehouse.

Fall Out Boy thinks they should be among the above names and Wentz doesn’t seem to be backing down from venting his frustrations.

“And if people wanted to shut us up, they should’ve just given us that f—ing Grammy nomination,” he told MTV News.

Pete Wentz may wear guyliner, but he isn’t gay – he only wishes he was.

In an interview with NPR, Wentz says he would welcome the social controversy. “I would never come out and say I’m gay, because I’m not gay. There’s part of me that kind of wishes I was gay, and I think that comes from anybody constantly wishing they were in the minority and constantly wants to be fighting everybody off.”

Wentz credits David Bowie, Marilyn Manson and Kurt Cobain for influencing his love of sexual ambiguity. He sometimes switches “she” with “he” in his lyrics, and is known for kissing his bandmates on stage.

As for male makeup tips, Wentz suggests you “Smear it. Because if you’re a guy, you don’t want your makeup to look perfect.”

Both songstress Roisin Murphy and Fall Out Boy front man Pete Wentz badly injured themselves when they got carried away at separate concerts this weekend.

After his injury at his Voodoo Fest performance in New Orleans, Wentz posted about it on MySpace. He said he “ended up breaking the bone that connects my shin to my foot. No shows will be canceled. I am currently trying to get a ‘rocker’ boot so I can have a walking cast. Currently my foot is the size of a small car. If you see me at a show come sign my cast.”

Miles away in Russia, Murphy took head banging a little too literally and ran her face right into a chair. According to reports, she immediately left the stage and went to the hospital. The impact broke her superciliary bone, right above her eye socket. She lost a lot of blood, had a concussion and had to have surgery under general anesthetic. Her vision was not impaired.

Unlike Wentz, Murphy will have to cancel her next seven shows, which will be rescheduled for later in the year.
