Ashlee Simpson Confirms She's Pregnant

Wow, what a shock!  Ashlee Simpson--oops, sorry, Ashlee Simpson Wentz--confirmed tonight that she's pregnant.  Look at the surprised looks on all our faces.  I'm aghast, I'm agog, I just can't believe it.  Yawn.  What some people will do to stay relevant.

The Simp-Wentzes announced the pending baby on Pete's blog in typical Simpson-esque fashion:

"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."

They forgot to add that they were blessed and that the baby was sure to be amazing.  Honestly, must I tell them everything?  If they want Tom Cruise-size attention, they have to play it up more!  There's never enough adjectives when dealing with matters of publicity.  For god's sake, have they learned nothing from Papa Joe?  Who, by the way, you know is already taking bids for baby's first pictures--if not a front row seat in the delivery room.

Ashlee Simpson Changes Her Name

Ashlee Simpson has changed her name to Ashlee Wentz in the hopes that people will think she's a brand new person and not be so critical of her anymore.  Sure, she says it's to "honor" new husband Pete Wentz, but, c'mon, has the Simpson name really been that good to her?  Though I guess she thinks so, as she's keeping it for her professional name.  So, eh, why even tell us you're changing privately?  Does anyone care that much?  I mean, I've been sleeping fine without worrying about this. 

Whatever.  She wants us to know for some reason.  Probably so people will keep talking about her.

"I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man.  It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."

Why is it a tradition?  That's always bugged me.  I mean, why should the woman have to give up her name?  Why not the man?  I think Pete should start going by "Pete Simpson."  It sounds generically dweeby--which fits him to a tee.

More Evidence Jessica Simpson And Tony Romo Are Finito

Question: How much chatter does there have to be before a rumor becomes fact - or at least urban legend?  The Jessica Simpson/Tony Romo breakup stories keep coming fast and furious; where there's that much smoke...

The latest whisper comes from The Dallas Morning News, which cites not one - but two sources close to the couple who say the break-up rumors are true - so it doesn't matter that their reps keep denying it, doesn't matter that supposedly Tony will be with Jessica at sister Ashlee's wedding to Pete Wentz this Saturday.  Nope - they're done.

Further proof--or "proof," if you prefer--came on Wednesday when Tony was approached by newspaper reporters and commented:

"I'm not talking about Jessica."

I mean, I grant you: she's not the most fascinating person to talk about, but if you were still with someone wouldn't you want to address it, rather than not talk about it? 

Poor Jess.  All this on top of a week when her ex, John Mayer, is making news by making out with Jennifer Aniston.

Talk about adding insult to injury.

Ashlee Simpson And Pete Wentz: Wedding This Weekend

US Weekly is reporting that Ashlee Simpson will marry Pete Wentz this Saturday at a "top secret" location.  Oh, criminy.  The President's kid got married with less fanfare; maybe Papa Joe's youngest needs to call in the Secret Service to accomplish the same feat.

Per a source, guests have gotten a save the date notice and a rehearsal dinner will be "an intimate affair" for close friends and family on Friday.  Come Saturday, the guests "will be transported in shuttles to the wedding location."

This is so exciting, isn't it?  Yeah, I know--not really.  All the tabs are still claiming Ashlee's pregnant, despite her playing coy and Pete saying she's not.  I wonder if Papa Joe is negotiating the photo exclusive rights yet.  Dumb question, I know.  I'm sure that was taken care of weeks ago.
