Ashlee Welcomes a Man Cub and Madonna Embraces Freedom

Pop stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz will have one more thing to be grateful for this Thanksgiving—-their new son. According to reports, the 24-year-old singer gave birth to the couple’s first child last night. Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long, according to PEOPLE magazine. Jessica Simpson’s baby sis and her Fall Out Boy bassist hubby got hitched in May in an elaborate Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding. The celebration was followed by an equally opulent Winnie-the-Pooh-themed baby shower, which was held just a few weeks ago. I wonder if we can expect … Continue reading

Family News: Madonna & Guy, Nicole and Keith, and Ashlee and Pete

Although rumors of divorce and Madonna seeing NY Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez have been swirling, the whole family – Madonna, Guy, and children Lourdes, Rocco, and David – were seen at a Kabbalah service on July 5th at New York City’s Kabbalah Centre in Midtown Manhattan. Madonna showed up with wet hair and large black studded sunglasses. She sat apart from Guy during the service, but don’t read much into that. It is the custom in Kabbalah for the woman to sit on the women’s side of the aisle. The children too sat with Madonna. Ritchie joined the family after … Continue reading

Ashlee and Pete’s Fairy Tale Wedding

It might’ve had a fairy tale ending, but the theme of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s wedding was based on a more bizarre children’s tale: Alice in Wonderland. No surprise there given that the newlyweds are self-professed fans of the “twisted, unique and unusual.” Another non-surprise: the wedding date. Ever since Wentz proposed to his pregnant gal pal last month rumors have been flying that the two would be marrying this weekend at her parent’s Southern California home. And so it came to be… last night the singer and her Fall Out Boy bassist fiancé wed in front of 150 … Continue reading

No Mo Romo

For those of you who didn’t score an invite to this weekend’s nuptials of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz you will be missing out on what will likely be the last time Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are photographed together. According to the Dallas Morning News, the NFL superstar and his blonde hottie are no longer an item. However, for whatever reason, Romo is said to be keeping his promise to escort Jessica to her sister’s California wedding. How weird is that? I mean how many freshly broken up couples do you know that reunite for a family wedding? The … Continue reading

Fashion Fiesta

At this point he is probably better known for impregnating Ashlee Simpson and repeatedly denying doing so than he is for designing clothes, yet Pete Wentz is determined to make his new junior sportswear line at hit for Nordstrom. Following in his fiancée’s footsteps the Fall Out Boy bassist has just signed an exclusive deal with the department store to launch a collection of graphic T-shirts, hoodies, denim jeans and accessories from his Clandestine Industries label. According E! news, Wentz’s line contains “interesting cuts and designs that are a little bit out of the box.” Apropos considering the designer. The … Continue reading

Simpson Updates: Can’t Keep Homer Down and Can’t Keep Ashlee’s Mouth Shut

CAN’T KEEP HOMER DOWN Maybe Homer, Bart and Lisa are part cat because they’re baaack on Venezuelan TV after being axed less than two weeks ago. According to local news reports, “The Simpsons” animated series has returned to Venezuelan TV in a new time slot after regulators yanked it from the air earlier this month. The long running Fox series returned to Venezuelan airwaves Wednesday at 7 p.m. and will now be shown at that time each week. It was airing each day at 11 a.m. before executives with the National Telecommunications Commission said it violated regulations to protect children. … Continue reading

Pregnancy DENIED!

When it comes to announcing baby news some celebrities are a bit more reluctant than others to share their excitement with the world. (More on Ashlee Simpson’s baby news in a bit.) Then, they are those who become the center of pregnancy rumors before they have even conceived. Take country singing superstar Faith Hill for example. Tim McGraw’s wife and the mother of three young daughters has spent the better part of this week denying reports that she is expecting her fourth child. The rumors of Hill’s pregnancy started when the blond beauty wore a flowing black top to the … Continue reading

Aha! The Truth Finally Comes Out… Or Not

Britney’s little sister led the way (in 2007 anyway) and now Jessica’s younger sis is getting in on the latest trend among young Hollywood—courting, conception… then (legal) commitment. A few days ago I blogged about Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s decision to tie the knot after 18 months together. Today, OK! Magazine (and a slew of others) is confirming that Jessica Simpson’s 23-year-old sister is expecting her first baby this fall. According to reports, Ashlee will make big sis Jessica an aunt sometime in October. As for the singer’s husband-to-be Pete Wentz, sources say the 28-year-old Fall Out Boy is … Continue reading

Hollywood Couples News—Shocking and Not So Shocking

SHOCKING Not only shocking for a Hollywood couple, but for warring couples in general. Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have apparently decided to bury the hatchet and actually work on their marriage instead of throwing it away. Court documents show that the superstar pair just put the brakes on their divorce proceedings. According to TV’s “Extra,” a court clerk dismissed the couple’s divorce petition at their request earlier this week. Madonna’s ex-husband initially filed for divorce from Wright Penn on December 7, 2007 after 11 years of marriage but his petition was later dismissed. Then, three days later, Wright … Continue reading

Fashionistas Turned Fashion Designers

Oh heck, why not, everyone else is doing it? That was my reaction when I learned Ashlee Simpson just got a gig at Wet Seal as a fashion designer. I wonder what big sis Jessica thinks about her copycat sibling honing in on yet another market she ventured into first? So, yes, the younger Simpson will indeed be launching a collection of T-shirts for the hip retailer. According to Wet Seal execs, Ashlee’s line will feature designs inspired by “her own personality, sense of style and album artwork.” The new collection will launch nationwide on April 22nd-—the same day Ashlee’s … Continue reading
