Pete Wentz: Only One Bun in Ashlee’s Oven
Is Ashlee Simpson-Wentz joining or bucking the latest Hollywood trend?
While calling in to a Phoenix radio show Thursday morning, hubby Pete Wentz was discussing impending fatherhood and talked about how he and the missus “have been keeping a journal for them.”
Them? As in, more than one?!
Hold up. Before you go ringing up Jack Black to tell him the big news, Perez Hilton reports he was told exclusively by the Fall Out Boy frontman today that we won’t be seeing double in a few months.
“That was waaaaay wrong,” says Wentz, regarding his slip of the tongue. “I meant to say ’the baby’ and said ’them’ ’cause it was 7 a.m. Not in a BS way: I can tell you we are absolutely not having twins. I totally misspoke ’cause we dunno if it’s a boy or girl. I try to speak vaguely, and I totally blew it on this one.”
We want to believe you, Pete. Really we do. But you can’t blame us for being a little skeptical.
We’re still feeling the sting from your honeymoon deception.
Can There Be Too Much Angelina at Cannes?
The very pregnant Angelina Jolie not only looks like she's about to pop, but at this year's Cannes Film Festival she just keeps poppin' up.
Everywhere you turn, it seems there's no escaping the brunette beauty and her ballooning bellyfrom the Kung Fu Panda premiere to a dinner date with Brad Pitt to boat rides with their kids to, most recently, Tuesday's Changeling photo call dressed in a Dolce & Gabbana pantsuit.
Add to this all the media attention surrounding her confirmation that she's having twins and you've got a possible recipe for overexposure.
So given the seemingly relentless coverage of all things Angelina, we want to know how you feel about it…

Burning Q’s: Nick’s Chicks & Overpaid Hotties
Please mail me a list of Nick Cannon's exes.Tweety
Honestly, wouldn't you rather share with the class? He was briefly engaged to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks and also boasts previous affairs with Kim Kardashian and Christina Milian. Onward with more of your Burning Questions, eh?
So Angelina finally confirmed that she was having twins. But if celebs make their minions sign confidentiality agreements, how did every gossip outlet already know this? Carrie
Why do you think so many of reporters' "sources" have no names? If the blabbermouths went on the record, they'd get fired and sued. Also, come on. That bump has been huge.
Why, why, why are movie stars paid so much? Cami, Dallas
The logic goes that most people attend movies based on the stars or some other known quantity, like a comic-book franchise. For example, Will Smith's movies routinely break $100 million worldwide at the box office. His asking salary, therefore, is also high, at a reported $25 million or so.
The logic: People are going to see a Will Smith film, not a postapocalyptic-New-York-virus-flesh-chewing-zombie picture. No Will Smith, no $256 million for the financiers of I Am Legend.
Not that every star can sustain those big paychecks. A few months ago, I interviewed a bunch of Hollywood moneymen about which actors were worth their asking prices. Their biggest off-the-record whisper about $15-million-a-movie Cameron Diaz? "Not worth it."
Who is J.Low? Tweety
An actor, singer, dancer and fancier of $3,000 baby carriages.
