Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz recently went through another embarrassing moment because of his wife’s partying ways. First, there was the incident where Ashlee Simpson publicly berated the rock star’s ex-girlfriend Michelle Trachtenberg. Now, Ashlee reportedly instigated a fight with her husband this past Saturday. Pete just finished performing with his band at the Blink 182 concert in Chicago. Then, he went to celebrate the one year anniversary of his bar, Angels & Kings. Multiple sources are saying that Ashlee proceeded to get drunk and belligerent. A source said that while Pete was in the DJ booth, Ashlee “came up completely wasted and yells at him to leave. They fought, she told him he was horrible in front of a whole group of people and made him leave his own party early. So they make a scene and leave the bar.” I think someone needs to go to rehab.

Pete Wentz recently celebrated his 30th birthday a few weeks back and he recently talked about what his favorite gift was. The Fall Out Boy bassist said that “My wife [Ashlee Simpson] gave me a pretty creative video, then she gave me the camera she made the video with which was cool. It’s like a home video and has [my son] Bronx in it.” What’s so spectacular about that? You can make a home video anytime. He could have at least given some details on what Bronx was doing in the video. I wonder what else he’ll be filming with that camera. A sex tape perhaps?

She explains the story behind the Salvador Dali inspired video, and she gives a peek into what it was like to film stunts on a harness and learn how to punch for her fight scene.

Ashlee Simpson is in a good place. She has two multi-platinum records that debuted back to back at the top of the charts and collectively sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone. She has two sold-out tours under her belt, a tight-knit family, a loyal fan base, and a burgeoning second career as an actress. So when it came time to create her third album, she wanted the music to represent where she was at in life.

“Life is really good right now. I’m young. I love my life and I enjoy my time off too. I wanted to celebrate all that on my next record. I wanted to make music people could shake their booties to and use beats for the first time. I wanted to sing fun songs. Basically, I wanted to make a party record.”

Ashlee teamed up with power producer Timbaland on her new single “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)” making it destined for dance-floor anthem status. The track immediately rocketed to the Top 20 pop singles on iTunes and received its TRL debut. The video for the hauntingly catchy song takes your imagination on a wild ride through a dreamlike world of surrealism.
