Pete Wentz: As Gay as He Needs to Be For Gays to Like Him
Hey you know what's cool about Pete Wentz? Absolutely nothing. Well, OK, fine. It's cool that the Fall Out Boy bassist, professional celebrity, and Joe Simpson son-in-law is not homophobic, as is evidenced by his recent Out magazine cover story. But the way he scampers along, teasing about his various make-out seshes with boys "on a dare" ten years ago is just so pandering and false. He claims that he's sorta queer, but only "above the belt," because male "equipment" just doesn't do it for him. He doesn't even like his own cock! How zany, how hip, how fucking rock 'n roll. Except, you know, it's not at all because it's as put-on as his "so silly by now that he's almost doing a pastiche of himself" eyeliner. Some choice quotes from the article after the jump. More » -

Papa Joe Simpson: Hollywood's Least Valuable Player
We have a feeling that, were there a group of deadbeat dads out in Glendale (a la those Dina Lohan-lovin' freaks out East) who got drunk enough one day to form a Totally Awesome Dads Association (TADA!), they would most likely celebrate their first-year anniversary by handing out their Bud Light-drenched award for Father Of The Year to Papa Joe Simpson. Why? Well, as we already know, the former minister-turned-dadager managed to pimp out a few mind-numbingly boring exclusive wedding pictures featuring most annoyingly faux-punk new marrieds on the planet, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, to People a few weeks back. But what we didn’t know was that, at the same time, Simpson was allegedly attempting to sell off his other daughter Jessica — not to the tabloids, but to then-boyfriend Tony Romo. See the astonishing managing skills this guy has? But he reportedly wasn’t stopping at selling off his daughter — he was also said to be pressuring the quarterback to sign a client/manager agreement and become one of the magically successful Simpson Family Players: More » -

Win A Date With My Daughter
Who Will Play Role Of Jessica Simpson's Boyfriend In Papa Joe's Sequel To 'Pimp My Daughter'?
At this point in Jessica Simpson’s sad, sad career, it’s become clear that her only chance of making headlines is by sleeping with a new guy, getting dumped by that new guy, or whining over one of the many guys who’ve dumped and/or slept with her. As we learned this week, her most recent conquest — QB Tony Romo, who Jessica called “her future husband” in Glamour’s March issue before admitting that “this article could come out and Tony and I could be broken up” — rid himself of the Game Day Curse just as her ex-fling John Mayer was popping up all over the weeklies swapping spit with Jennifer Aniston and her fembot nips. Naturally, Jessica reacted by drinking herself silly and, we presume, making several late-night calls to her Dadager, Papa Joe, requesting her next romantic PR stunt stat. So the question is: which lucky bachelors will Joepay offset her up with this time to guarantee continuous coverage of his darling daughter? Our suggestions, after the jump. More » -

Scarlett Johansson Shows Off New Engagement Ring, But How Does It Compare To Celebrity Rocks Of Yore?
Sorry boys, It appears as if Scarlett Johansson really is taken. As we noted yesterday, 2006's Sexiest Woman Alive got engaged to equally easy-on-the-eyes boyfriend Ryan Reynolds, and judging from ScarJo's behavior last night at the Costume Institute Gala, the soon-to-be-bride appears incapable of hiding her joy. All smiles as she walked the carpet, Johansson even did the paparazzi a favor by flashing her new rock, and her choice to wear an off-white demure dress helped us paint some mental images of her upcoming walk down the aisle. But how does her ring compare to infamous engagement rings of the past (J. Lo's sad pink diamond monster mid-Bennifer trainwreck) and rings recently sported by newly engaged stars like Mariah Carey and Ashlee Simpson? We compare and contrast after the jump. More » -

Rumer Willis Works Hard To Emulate Demi Moore, But Do Extensions And Bikini Bodies A Superstar Make?
It took her long enough, but the eldest spawn of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore is finally putting her pedigree to good use. Rumer Willis reminded the world of her burgeoning acting career at last week's premiere of From Within, the horror flick she's starring in, and was spotted posing for her first ad campaign for Wal-Mart's newest surfer fashion brand OP (formerly Ocean Pacific). And while the extensions she wore for the premiere coupled with the bikini body she displayed alongside Pete Wentz for the photo shoot do admittedly evoke memories of a younger version of her iconic mom, are Rumer's recent career choices really going to jumpstart a Demi-like fame trajectory? Or will she soon be on MTV's third season of Rock The Cradle? More » -

Ashlee Simpson Exclusives Not Worth The Pretty Penny Papa Joe Was Hoping For
We were admittedly underwhelmed upon hearing that lip sync princess Ashlee Simpson and her guyliner-sporting beau Pete Wentz were planning on tying the knot, but we are somewhat pleased to hear about all the trouble it's causing Papa Joe Simpson. Unsurprisingly, the engagement seems to be the result of Pete "doing the right thing" after knocking up his girlfriend. And in an attempt to turn a sticky situation into a pot of gold, minister-turned-Dadager Joe is allegedly trying desperately to make some quick cash by selling his daughter's story to the weeklies, conveniently timed to coincide with her upcoming album's release:"'Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover'...Sadly, there is some interest - but not for anything close to $1 million."
So how much is an Ashlee cover worth these days? Apparently just as little as Lindsay Lohan demands for taking her top off on-screen... More » -

Did Pete Wentz Just Get Engaged To Ashlee Simpson So He Could Try On Her Shoes All Day?
Just in case he hadn't officially lost all his "punk" cred already, Pete Wentz has successfully sealed the deal by getting engaged to lip sync queen Ashlee Simpson. And proving they're the ultimate modern couple, Ashlee made the announcement via (of all things) the website friendsorenemies.com in a post last night: "Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged...We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you." Why exactly a "very private matter" is the sort of thing one willingly announces in the form of a blog post is beyond us, but one issue Pete feels more than comfortable discussing is his love of cross-dressing. As the bassist told Fox News recently,"I love Jessica Simpson's stuff, especially the shoes. I dance around my house in them all the time."

The Last Post
Here's a measure of the loss the American reading public has suffered with the abrupt closure of Pagesix.com. The New York Post's round-the-clock gossip site is down, but we still have a copy of what is believed to be the last post ever published on the site. At 1.07pm this afternoon, Jarett Wieselmann (awesome name for a gossip writer, by the way) explained Pete Wentz's affection for Jessica Simpson's shoes, and illustrated the Fall Out Boy bassist's cross-dressing tendencies with this useful exercise in Photoshop. And on that note, Pagesix.com was dead. -

Pete Wentz and Co. Would Like You To Make Bug Eyes
A tipster tells us that he received a withering reception from the "suburban yeti" and "cookie cutter gay with a faux vintage beer shirt that he must have got at urban outfitters" who interviewed him this morning at Clandestine Industries, the fun little fashion club started by musician and anthropomorphized douchebag Pete Wentz. The applicant, hoping for a design internship, had his portfolio dismissed because his work was "too sophisticated" for the little be-studded cottage industry, which is simply looking for someone who can deftly create "a hoodie with bug eyes on it" (so sayeth the suburban yeti). Ooh, that sounds so cool (or whatever new word for "cool" our young are using)! I love things with bug eyes on them. Except for Pete Wentz's face. After the jump, the little rock star raccoon at the grand opening of his Chicago store. And then a fashion show! More » -

Pete Wentz Jokingly Calls Self An Asshole, No One Laughs
Monumental tool (and musician) Pete Wentz thinks he's really funny. And that he has something to say. So, like ya do, he made a video about it. It's a joke about celebrity culture and doing things for others and how sometimes celebrities are disingenuous about doing things for others. He has his monumental tool (and musician?) girlfriend Ashlee [sic] Simpson on hand to help him. It ends up being just a stupid Britney Spears joke that was made a few years ago, by funnier people. Oh and look! At the end, they call themselves assholes. Isn't that badass?? Pete should go back to opening shitty bars. At least then we won't have to hear him. Wait. Wait, no. No he shouldn't. He should go back to... He should just go. Video after the jump. More »
