Douchey Doting dad Pete Wentz recently plopped down $8,000 (plus $500 for shipping) on a vintage 1930s train set for his six-month-old son Bronx — too bad the thing is a choking hazard!
Family friends say despite doing lots of research before selecting the special gift for his boy, the brainiac bassist forgot that the set’s small lights and tiny minature stations could be a death trap for a small child.
“Pete spent weeks finding the right set,” a Star Magazine source spills. “The only problem is that there are choking hazards because the pieces are so small,” the spy adds. “For now, it will have to be boxed away in the attic.”
Emo-rocker Pete Wentz is trying his hand at the world of comic books, MTV News reported on Thursday. The Fall Out Boy bassist is collaborating with Los Angeles designer Darren Romanelli on a mini-series entitled Fall Out Toyworks. The five-issue collection will follow the adventures of what Pete describes as “a mysterious toymaker, a cyborg gal named Tiffy and a kid in a bear suit.”
“Me and Darren came up with the idea of creating … a world around [Fall Out Boy song] ‘Tiffany Blews,’” Pete told MTV. “It’s more than a comic too. In the end, it will be a graphic novel, clothing, Web site and possible toys themselves.”
The series will launch in September via publisher Image Comics.

Pete Wentz, is that you? Why what are you doing? Trying to get your freak on with some Sin City strippers we see. Dancing on pool tables with scantily-clad good-time gals may not be the best way to refute those pesky pending divorce rumors. Read the rest of this entry »
Pete Wentz is excited that his wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will be appearing on the upcoming revival of Melrose Place–so much so that he hopes she’ll get to play the resident “bitch” on the show.

Parenthood is taking its toll on Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
Blabbermouths close to the couple claim the once active pair is having trouble adapting to their more subdued lifestyle. Pete and Ashlee welcomed son Bronx last November, but domesticity and diapers don’t agree with the 24-year-old bride.
A tipster tells Page Six, “Ashlee and Pete are on the rocks. He is going out all the time and she’s stuck at home. It’s just not working.”
