Do You Know: Pete Wentz
Now that Pete Wentz is a part of the Simpson family, I felt duty-pressed to do a “Do You Know” section for him too. I think I’ll probably do a part two of these lists of facts, favorites, and trivia since there are so many of them to fit into one article. Anyway, enjoy reading about Ashlee’s husband, Pete Wentz (who has such a long real name, by the way):
1. Pete Lewis Kingston Wentz III was born on June 5, 1979. The 29-year old musician was born at Wilmette, Illinois.
2. He was an all-star soccer player. But he has always been music-minded. He plays both the piano and bass guitar.
3. He thinks that he is Peter Pan. Oh well, at least his friends say so.
4. Pete likes yellow flowers. Erm, because they cheer him up. Okaaaaayyyyyy.
5. Pete was voted best makeup for Netscape’s Hollywood Honors 2007. It must have been all of that eyeliner.
6. He doesn’t do drugs or drink. He reveals that he used to drink alcohol with his friends in his teens, yet has always thought that drugs were uncool. Later on, he decided to stop drinking and has avoided the bottle and drugs until now. Does anybody else find this hard to believe? Yeah, yeah. I’m a cynic. Can you blame me with the image that he has been parading around?
7. His record label, Decaydance’s active bands includes Cobra Starship, The Hush Sound, Lifetime, Panic! At the Disco, The Cab, and Fall Out Boy.
8. Before Fall Out Boy where he plays the bass guitar, Pete was involved in several bands: xfirstbornx, Arma Angelus, 7 Angels of Apocalpyse/ Culture of Violnce, Extinciton, Forever Ended Today, and Yellow Road Priest.
9. He has 37 tattoos. And no, I’m not going to elaborate their individual locations.
10. He credits his wife, Ashlee Simpson and son, Bronx Mowgli for ending his manic depression.
