For a minute, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy was most famous for his marriage and bun in the oven with Ashlee Simpson. After gracing the cover of Out magazine, though, everyone is talking about him for different reasons. We didn’t know all that much about him before, but this interview shows a level of personal insight and social awareness that we have to respect. There was a good deal of juicy info, so we just put the quote, straight from Out:

“Will you get flak for having someone like me on the cover?” he asks, sounding more concerned for the magazine’s reputation than his own.

It’s a convincing performance. Even his longtime manager, Bob McLynn, says he spent at least a year wondering. “I thought maybe Pete was actually gay,” McLynn says. “I know guys who are gay who would sleep with girls. I wouldn’t have been that surprised.” Asking Wentz did nothing to clear things up: “He would try to act like he was to push my buttons.”

Then there are the interviews in which Wentz refers to himself as “half gay,” says “anything above the waist is fair game,” and boasts of making out with boys, even when corporate sponsors or fans’ parents balked or boycotted. The more uncomfortable or conservative his audience, the less likely he is to give them an easy out. Plus, few reporters ask for further clarification when confronted with an ambiguous, moody rock star, so single sentences wind up as stand-ins for self-defining declarations.

He doesn’t seem to think he has much to prove to Out, and I ask a lot of follow-up questions. Wentz answers them all, even when he’s not sure I’ll like the answers. “When I said that I make out with dudes, there was a slight sense of sexual rebellion in that,” he admits. “And I probably even made it a bigger deal than it was.” He thinks the first time he kissed a guy was when he was 16 or 17, probably on a dare at a party: “Like, ‘You make out with this dude and we’ll make out.’ ” And of later experiments, at 18 or 19, he says it was more like, “I’m going to try this thing.” And most recently? He actually apologizes before responding. “A long time ago,” he says with a slight wince. “Probably when I was 22?”

Ashlee Simpson, who at 4 months looks twice as pregnant as Nicole Kidman, was spotted shopping for baby gear. The new rumor is that she’s having a boy, based on the items purchased at Petit Tresor baby boutique. Thing is, this is the same store that Tom Cruise is upset with for sharing personal info about Katie Holmes. So maybe Ashlee knew the details would leak? We’re not sure about the boy vs girl issue, but with all the new celebrity babies, we’re gonna need some more boys to balance things out. So far the only one is Christina Aguilera’s little guy!

We can just see the next generation of young Hollywood once they’re old enough to hit the clubs…Max Liron (Aguilera’s son) will be dancing with Harlow Kate (Nicole Richie’s daughter), Maddie Briann (Jamie Lynn’s daughter), the Jolie-Pitt twins (IslAmelie, as we like to call them, AKA Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane), Honor Marie (Jessica Alba’s daughter), and Nahla Ariela (Halle Berry’s daughter). The older set has a few more boys – Kingston Rossdale, Pax and Maddox Jolie-Pitt, Sean Preston and Jayden James Spears Federline, and Baron William Trump…but you still have to factor in Shiloh and Zahara Jolie-Pitt, Dannielynn Smith (Anna Nicole’s daughter), Suri Cruise, and Valentina (Salma Hayek’s daughter) as well.

Can you imagine all of those celebs meeting to pick up their kids from daycare? It would be pure chaos!

JustJared captures pics of Ashlee Simpson’s pregnancy curves – check below…

Ashlee Simpson and new husband Pete Wentz have gone on the record about their baby bump…they’re for sure expecting a bundle of joy! Word is that Papa Joe insisted on a shotgun wedding, and we’re not surprised. Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson is said to be heartbroken over the success of her little sister. She’s been talking quite a bit about marrying beau Tony Romo, and making some babies with him – but it seems that Tony found it all a bit too much, too soon. Maybe Jess should pay extra attention to the upcoming film He’s Just Not That Into You.

We don’t have a great baby bump pic yet, but she’s a tiny little thing, so we’re sure to see a tummy soon! Hollywood is all about being pregnant these days…check out some other celebs who are just about ready to pop:

In much more surprising baby drama news, former American Idol runner up Clay Aiken is going to be a daddy soon. The mommy-to-be is his 50 year old producer/BFF, Jaymes Foster. This does nothing to clear up rumors of Clay preferring the company of gentleman, though, because the pregnancy is reported to be due to artificial insemination. No matter how the baby was made, he or she is sure to have an incredible voice!

First it was Beyonce and Jay Z…then Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon…now Hollywood has been rocked by two more super secret surprise weddings! Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz sent out impromptu invites last week, but their wedding still caught us off guard. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren went even more incognito, announcing early this week that they wed last weekend!

People magazine reports that the Ashlee Simpson/Pete Wentz wedding had a gothic feel, with the couple’s beloved bulldog “Hemmingway” as the ringbearer! The pop/punk couple had an Alice in Wonderland theme, complete with a topsy turvy wedding cake made of layers shaped like teapots and top hats. Ashlee went with a traditional gown and veil, with gorgeous diamond jewelry as accents. Pete wore a tux and a white bow tie, and Maid of Honor Jessica Simpson wore a chic black dress. Despite heavy rumors about a baby on the way, the couple is still denying that the wedding was pregnancy related. Guess we’ll have to wait about, oh, four more months, max, before we know for sure!

No details are available on the Cash Warren and Jessica Alba wedding, but hopefully pictures will surface soon! We know one thing for sure – there weren’t any pregnancy “rumors” for these nuptials. Alba’s baby bump has been common knowledge for a while now, but we’re sure she looked as stunning as always when she wed. She has consistently been ranked as one of Hollywood’s sexiest stars, and that mommy-to-be glow has only made her more gorgeous!

What do you think – are more surprise weddings on the way? Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo, perhaps? Maybe Fergie and Josh will sneak away for a bride and groom adventure, or even Jamie-Lynn Spears and her baby’s dad Casey? Hopefully there aren’t any new Britney nuptials for a while, though – unless she gets back together with K-Fed! Heck, maybe Brad and Angelina will pack up the kiddies and get married in whatever war ravaged country they decide to give birth in. Only time will tell….in the meantime, be sure to check out our collection of celebrity engagement rings and CZ promise rings.
