Yahoo news just reported that the rumors are true - Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are engaged! Here’s the scoop:

Ashlee Simpson and her rocker boyfriend Pete Wentz are engaged.

“We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I, and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best,” Simpson said in a statement posted Wednesday on People magazine’s Web site. “Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged.”

Simpson’s manager-father, Joe Simpson, told the magazine he’s “totally happy” and “so excited to have Pete as part of (our) family.”

The couple began dating in fall 2006, according to People.

Wentz, 28, is bassist for Fall Out Boy. Simpson, 23, a singer, songwriter and actress, is the younger sister of pop star Jessica Simpson. Ashlee Simpson’s new album, “Bittersweet World,” is set for release on April 22.

A phone message left Wednesday for Joe Simpson by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.

Joe Simpson and Pete Wentz whooped up on some bodyguards who hassled their beloved Ashlee Simpson the other night.

It happened when the group was trying to leave a party at the Mirage. Bouncers let Ashlee, Papa Joe and boyfriend Pete pass through to get to their waiting SUV, but they stuck out their arms and stopped the rest of their entourage. Pete demanded that they let his buddies through, screaming “This is my car! I paid for this car!” along with some choice expletives. (more…)

Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz joined his lovely girlfriend, Ashlee Simpson, at the MTV VMAs in Las Vegas, and I must say: he looked happier than I’ve ever seen him in a long time. Relaxed, even. Of course, that might be because he’s trying to win big money…(not that he needs it).

If you don’t believe in the healing powers of love, believe this (or at least entertain the rumor): Ashlee Simpson saved her boyfriend, Pete Wentz, from depression and suicide. According to an article published by Stuff, Pete is ready to put his wild partying behind him and settle down.

Pete said: “I picture myself having a family now. Before, my dreams were about being in a huge band. Now, my dreams are of back yards and hanging out. It’s a progression for me, trying to figure out what’s normal.”

The 22-year-old - who has battled depression and prescription drugs - is rumoured to be engaged to Ashlee, also 22, and says he now has a reason to live.

Oh, Ashlee. Honey, you’ve been with Pete long enough, everyone knows that you’re a couple, and you’re worried about some floozie in a low-cut top and short, short, shoooorrrrtttt skirt taking a picture with Pete?

Sources say that Ashlee Simpson is the jealous type, and proved it last weekend in Chicago. She and Pete Wentz stopped by the Blender Sessions at the Hard Rock Hotel to help Crobar Chicago co-owner Mike Matushcka celebrate his 40th birthday. While they were there, Ashlee laid down the law and refused to let ANY girl come between herself and her man. According to rumors, any time a female fan tried to take a picture with Pete, Ashlee would whine and drag him away.

That doesn’t sound like a woman who’s very secure in her relationship.

My prediction: Ashlee and Pete are on the rocks. Expect a breakup soon!

Ashlee and Pete headed to Chicago this past weekend for a playdate at Lollapalooza. Check out the candid photos of the lovebirds at the concert! I usually don’t like Ashlee’s style when she’s out-and-about around town, but her black dress and hat are really cute this time!

Lately, every time I see a picture of Ashlee and Pete, I have to admit that I’m liking them more and more. And that is kind of hard for me to admit, because in general I really don’t like Pete, and I find Ashlee the tiniest bit annoying, which is why I don’t really comment about her personally a lot on this site.

But now? My whole plan of cynicism is RUINED, because I’m starting to like them. Both. Well, as a couple, at least. So, to celebrate, here are some candids of the pair having coffee a week ago. Because I’m generous like that.

Last week, Ashlee Simpson and her rocker boyfriend, Pete Wentz, were seen leaving the restaurant Toast. The two look happy together, despite recent rumors of their engagement and pregnancy. Both have denied the validity to either rumor, but we’re still holding out hope for the happy couple!

I guess someone had their wires crossed because Ashlee Simpson denies the pregnancy and engagement rumors that have been buzzing around the internet. Too bad, I bet she’d look adorable with a baby bump!

Ashlee Simpson has quashed rumours she is engaged to Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz or pregnant with his baby.

The Hollyscoop girls cite a source that says, “Ashlee wasn’t expecting it at all, it was a total surprise,” a blab said. “Pete whipped out a big engagement ring, dropped down on one knee, and asked Ashlee to be his bride. Ashlee says it was romantic, sexy - and that she said yes right away.”

The pair began dating earlier this year (07), with gossip websites in the U.S. alleging Wentz had proposed to the singer before his band’s performance at the Live Earth event earlier this month (07Jul07).

Wesbite Popcrunch claimed the engagement was kept a secret because of the failure of sister Jessica’s marriage to Nick Lachey, which ended in divorce in 2006.

But a spokesperson for Simpson tells UsMagazine.com Wentz and Simpson’s engagement rumours are “absolutely not true”.

Yesterday we reported that Ashlee Simpson may be engaged to Pete Wentz. But now it looks like she could be more than just engaged…

The National Ledger has reported that Ashlee may be carrying Pete Wentz’ spawn - the rumors began when Ashlee was seen continually rubbing her belly. The report also notes that at a family wedding on 7-7-07 (they skipped the Paris wedding of Eva and Tony to stay at home with the family) sparked rumors that she might in fact be pregnant. “Ashlee may have helped start the rumors herself…She was at a family wedding and was wandering around rubbing her belly. And she refused to drink anything.”

Is there any truth to these rumors? Stick around to find out…

Ok, poor Ashlee Simpson has rumors flying everywhere at the moment about her. Here’s another one. She might be engaged to Pete Wentz!

Nothing’s been confirmed, so hold off on having your head explode for now, but sources tell Pop Crunch that Wentz proposed to Simpson backstage at Live Earth before he performed with his Fall Out Boy bandmates. “Ashlee wasn’t expecting it at all; it was a total surprise,” says the source. “Pete whipped out a big engagement ring, dropped down on one knee and asked Ashlee to be his bride. Ashlee says it was romantic, sexy - and that she said ‘yes’ right away.”

“Ashlee and Pete are desperate to keep the engagement quiet for as long as they can so they can make wedding plans in peace,” says a pal of Ashlee’s. “All she wants is a simple ceremony with her family, his family and a handful of people.”

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

Javno Lifestyle reported:

Ashlee Simpson romped with boyfriend Pete Wentz in the bathroom of his new bar, it has been claimed.

The ‘Fall Out Boy’ frontman, who celebrated his 28th birthday party at his newly opened New York hangout Angels and Kings on Tuesday night (05.06.07), reportedly entered a bathroom cubicle with Ashlee for a steamy session.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Ashlee and Pete got a VIP escort to the bathroom and jumped the queue.

“Pete joked, ‘We’re going to puke. Seriously, we’re both going to be really sick’ as they pushed to the front of the queue.

“They went in together and everyone waited patiently. They were in there for a good 10 minutes.”
Ashlee bought her man a very special gift to mark the occasion.

Pete said: “Ashlee got me a Revenge of the Jedi poster. I’m kinky and it’s like, in Star Wars originally ‘Return of the Jedi’ was called Revenge of the Jedi, and then George Lucas decided that revenge was not a Jedi-like trait.

“So she bought it for me. I think it’s sweet. It’s awesome.”

The rocker and friends Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy and Yellow Fever clothing designer Jamison Ernest opened the bar in April.

Pete said at the launch party: “It will be a bit of a dive, which we need. We finally have a place where all our loser friends can hang out!

Ernest added: “This will be a place that anyone can go and have sex in the bathroom and not get in trouble.”
