Ashlee and Pete Wentz Confirm Pregnany

I don't know if this is even worth posting. You already knew right? But newlyweds Ashlee Simpson, 21, and Pete Wentz, 28, confirmed they're expecting.

Their joint statement reads, via Friends or Enemies:

"While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.

- Pete and Ashlee Wentz"

And so it goes.

Ambre Lake, 38-ish, the winner of Rock of Love 2, is in some weird Choose Your Own Adventure-type online slasher movie called (appropriately enough) "Project: Slasher." Here's the link. The good part is you decide if she lives or dies. I say she should die. Then there can be a Rock of Love 3. And there needs to be a Rock of Love 3.

I watched part of the movie. It's actually kind of cool...if you're bored. I like it.

Singer/Songwriter Ne-Yo, 28, was surprisingly impressed by Lindsay Lohan's singing ability. He and Lohan, 21, collaborated on a track together called "Bossy." And Ne-Yo was supposedly so ecstatic about the way it turned out, he called Lohan to apologize for having doubts about her. [Billboard]

And there you have it: non-mean news about Lindsay Lohan. That was hard.

I was this close to posting the pic of Lohan in a gold bikini at Jeremy Piven's b-day party--circa 2006-- as the accompanying photo. But I recognize that wouldn't have been nice. Instead I'll just provide the link. What? It's for old times sake.


Also surprising, Ne-Yo is part Chinese. My peeps. Alright so I'm only a quarter; and look like a cracker. [Wiki Wiki]

Oooh. I just saw this group picture of the girls at the NYC Sex and the City premiere.

Nice!

The hoopla surrounding this film is ridiculous/on the verge of disgusting. But I still ♥ them.

Those Ashlee Simpson Wentz Wet Seal clothes I told you about, apparently aren't selling as well as I expected.

Newlywed Ashlee Simpson, 23, is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz. "I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man," she tells People.

Antiquity rears its ugly head. But I guess that's what shotgun weddings are for*?

J/k do what you feel like doing peeps.

* I should clarify that I don't know whether Simpson Wentz is actually pregnant. But she totally is...probably.

A George Clooney, Sarah Larson Break-up?

Because you asked.

In Touch is reporting (so take it for what it's worth) that George Clooney, 47, and his girlfriend of almost a year, Sarah Larson, have broken up.

According to a "friend" ( I use the term loosely) of Larson, Clooney recently moved out of his LA home while the 29-year-old former Las Vegas cocktail waitress removed her belongings.

"George is relieved to be single again," says an 'insider.' "He thinks Sarah is sweet and that is why it was so hard to break up with her."

"The truth is that they had little in common, " the insider adds. "He just doesn't want to be tied down."

All info. via In Touch Weekly. As I've said this is the source I used for this posting, so there's a good chance this shit isn't true.

Update: Okay People is confirming it now, so it could be true.
Update: It's true. Positive.

Lohan & Ronson on Diddy's Yacht in Cannes

Lindsay Lohan, 21, and DJ Samantha Ronson, 30, have been hanging out A LOT lately. The two have recently become inseparable. And of late they've been vacationing in France.

Also, a photog snapped them doing this



on P. Diddy Daddy's yacht in Cannes on Thursday. I say "this" because I'm not exactly sure what they're doing. They might be kissing or Lohan might be whispering something in Ronson's ear. They might be doing neither. Who cares? Derive what you will.

Is Aubrey O'Day Dating Jesse McCartney?

In weird possible couple news, Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day, 24, was supposedly seen making out with Jesse McCartney, 21, at Butter in NYC on Monday night. [That's according to Perez. Sorry no link] They were also photographed together. [Just Jared]


O'Day then came out on Wednesday to show McCartney support at Marquee Lounge in NYC for the release of his new album--Departure. [Just Jared] I should add that at least one other member of Danity Kane was there too. I see a fraction of D. Woods throwing up the peace sign.



And the night before--at the FiFi Awards-- O'Day was photographed licking the back of a van with Making the Band-er Donnie Klang's picture on it. Klang, 23, is someone else O'Day is rumored to be dating, or have dated. [DListed]



I've said it before, O'Day is "Damaged" goods. But at least she's looking a little better?

Ugh, I've been reduced to inane gossip. :/

First Wedding Photo of Ashlee & Pete

People has the first wedding photo of Ashlee Simpson, 23, and Pete Wentz, 28, on its latest cover. According to the mag, the rocker-ish ceremony boasted 10,000 black roses and chandeliers dripping with crystals.


But of more importance--in the lower left corner-- is a picture of Jessica Simpson, 27, and Tony Romo, 28 at the reception or rehearsal dinner. She really doesn't want us to think they're broken up...becomes desperate-looking and annoying in the process.


Apparently, the mag bought the photos for "well over" a million dollars, i.e. People spent waaaay more than Simpson has made off her latest CD--Bittersweet World. [TMZ]

Today Around the Blogosphere...

Well I'm officially back from Florida (yeah, thanks for noticing I left :)).

Since I've been gone Ashlee Simpson, 23, wed Pete Wentz, 28. [People] And oh, Jessica Alba, 27, married Cash Warren, 31. Both chicks are supposedly knocked-up. [People] All this race to the altar stuff kinda makes me feel like I'm living in the 50's.

Simon Cowell, 48, talks to Ellen DeGeneres, 50, about Fantasia Barrino's shiteous performance on Idol last week. In case you missed it, here's my take on the Barinno, 23, catastrophe.

Yuck! American Pie has-been Shannon Elizabeth, 34, and Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Derek Hough, 22, are a couple and probably getting their own reality show. Nice age gap BTW.

Mel "Scary Spice" Brown, 32, and husband Stephan Belafonte's production company, Osiris, will likely produce the show, which will showcase the couple as their careers evolve (not likely) and their romance blossoms. Brown, reportedly hinted that the two are moving in together. Grrr-osss.

In case you forgot, this is what the two were doing on the beach, during a break from dance practice. Before they were eliminated that is.

She's annoying, and borderline gross. He's creepy, and actually gross. Sadly, that's why I'd probably watch that shit. [Oh Not They Didn't, Extra]

New "DWTS" Couple Alert!

Yeah, Shannon Elizabeth, 34, and professional dancer Derek Hough, 22, are going to have trouble denying their romantic status.

Pictures of the two, at a beach in Malibu on Thurdsay, have surfaced on the Interweb. Maybe it was staged for Pop Fiction. Elizabeth is the caliber of celebrity they have on the show.

I don't know why I'm doing this shit. I hate postings like these. But there you have it.

The Look of Desperation: Heidi & Spencer

I don't ever watch The Hills. And the ridiculous couple, sitting in that carriage, are two BIG reasons why.

It's Heidi & Spencer begging for attention in Central Park yesterday. They even changed their outfits!

Apparently these two have a deal with one photo agency. They stage their photo-ops, then split the profit. I'm not saying they're stupid for doing it. They're making bank. But, It's A LOT pathetic. Plus Spencer's hideous to look at. And Heidi's metamorphosing into an over-injected, blow-up doll.

P.S. Unless something really crazy happens, I promise not to do another Heidi & Spencer posting.
