Didn’t catch Fall Out Boy’s performance on MTV for the inauguration? No problem. Here it is, along with an interview at the end.

Fall Out Boy is playing for two inaugural balls this week. Pete Wentz tells MTV, “We’re driving around in bulletproof cars with guys who know mixed martial arts,” and “The 14-year-old version of your former self is like, ‘That’s awesome.’ ”

I’d be the same way, I’m sure. It IS pretty awesome and exciting.

The first ball the guys played was Sunday night’s Mayor’s Ball where there was about 15,000 people.

The second gig will be tonight, which MTV will air as part of their “Be the Change: Live From the Inaugural” special.” Check out the video over at MTV along with Pete’s cheesy moustache!

This EXCLUSIVE Ashlee and Pete news just in from Entertainment Weekly:

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz will guest-star on an upcoming CSI: NY. But they won’t be playing themselves. Oh no. They’ll be playing “Bonnie and Clyde Wannabes.”

How much do you luv that? I think it should be fun to watch. This will be the first joint project (beside their YouTube shenanigans) that the two have worked on together. That’s all I know right now. The show airs March 18th. Mark your calendars.

UPDATE: According to People, “Ashlee will be playing ‘Lia Wickfield’ and Pete will be playing ‘Chester Bryon’.”

Ashlee Simpson came out to support Barack Obama by joining others in recording a message for him. You’ll see her enter the building and leave (and the very end) in this clip:

Don’t you love the photogs are they shout things out to Ash? I like the one who is saying, “How’s that baby, Ashlee. Say hi to Bronx!”

For some reason that really makes me laugh. I’d hate to do that all day just to get a pic. But it’s nice that’s we get to see our girl around town again.

Yes, if you thought hearing about the taste of Ashlee’s breast milk was over the top, or the details about Pete and Ash’s sex life were a bit TMI, get a load of this new sound byte.

In the February issue of Blender, Pete says he would be “jerking off” to pictures of Ashlee is he hadn’t married her.

Hey - the boys in love! He’s bound to say stupid things! (Although I think he needs to SHUT IT now, don’t you?)

I was browsing through Walgreens today and happened to see the latest Life & Style magazine (dated January 12th, 2009) with our very own Ashlee Simpson on the cover. (She’s got her red do in a very cute ponytail.)

The mag has pictures of Bronx (the one Ash and Pete showed on Friends and Enemies at Christmas) and talked about parenthood and of wanting more kids.

Yes, I said MORE KIDS. Pete is so happy to be a dad he can imagine having about six more, he said. Could Ashlee and Pete become another Brangelina perhaps?

Ashlee Simpson has recently admitted that 2008 was the greatest year of her life.

Yeah! I’d say so! I was thinking about how different things were for Ashlee just one year ago, and it’s really mind boggling to think of how many things have happened. Here is MY list of the top Ashlee Simpson moments of 2008:

5. Released Bittersweet World
Okay, it didn’t sell as big as her first albums, but it was another great record with some awesome music. I loved the 80s vibe and especially some of the videos that went with the record. Here’s a preview of the songs if you didn’t catch it when it came out in April:

My favorite of these was Outta My Head:

Ashlee has recently remarked that she’s going back into the studio in 2009. We can’t wait to see what comes next!

4. Enaged to Pete Wentz
She wasn’t engaged long, but she did wear an engagement ring for a while and that was a pretty happy thing! As soon as she got engaged there were rumors about pregnancy and marriage… but hey - she got to bask in the fiance glow for a little while at least.

______________________________________________________________

3. Kept Mum About Being Pregnant
Why is keeping quiet about her pregnancy a big deal? Because for a long time Ashlee didn’t seem to know how to deal with certain questions, like the nose job and lip syncing. With the pregnancy rumor she figured out an answer that would instantly shut people up.

2. She got married!
It was truly a happy event when Ashlee married Pete Wentz!

1. Having a baby!
Not only was this the best moment of Ashlee’s life thus far, it was the first thing she did that her sister Jessica had not yet done. (Yes, sibling rivalry is at work!) Jessica is no-doubt very happy to be an auntie, but you know she was just burning with envy over not being a mommy first.

Ashlee made it clear at the recent New Year’s party she and Pete hosted that Bronx Mowgli Wentz is the most important thing in her life!

Apparently Ashlee Simpson really wants to lose her baby weight fast after her October 31st delivery.

One source claimed that she broke into tears when she realized how much baby weight she had gained at the doctor’s office. It was over the edge of what “normal” weight gain is and she freaked out when she realized how big she was getting.

Not only that, but after the doctor’s appointment she rushed out to buy “six pairs of size zero jeans to motivate her to lose weight.”

Yikes. Well, I’m not sure how much I really believe this one, but I’ve heard it a couple times now from different people. I think she probably is concerned about her weight a bit and then those pregnancy hormones don’t help either. The thing that strikes me here is that she always seems so balanced in the way she approaches things, so I wonder if she’s just focusing on this a little too much?

Besides that, I think she looks great. I’ve never seen a more adorable pregnant lady!

Ashlee Simpson was at Zellers this past weekend, and gave a short interview where she talked about her pregnancy. When asked about the upcoming birth of her baby, she said her and her husband, Pete Wentz, are very excited to be parents.

“I can’t wait to be a mom and he can’t wait to be a dad, so it’s fun. I have the greatest husband.”

She also said they hadn’t picked out a name yet, and that she was getting lots of advice from her mom and grandmother. She also said she knew her own mothering skills would kick in once the baby was born. I have to say I agree.

Ashlee Simpson is looking great these days, despite packing on about 20 pregnancy pounds. It’s clear that starting a family is making her very, very happy. There has been a lot of reports saying she doesn’t like the fact that she’s gaining weight, but somehow I can’t quite believe that about Ashlee. She seems pretty balanced in everything she does.

As far as cravings go, Pete Wentz told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show recently that she likes “green olives on everything” and craves anything green like pickles. ~source

Of course, Pete has told Ryan a lot of things (remember the whole “basement honeymoon” thing?) so who know if that’s true.

One thing IS for certain, and that’s the fact that Ashlee and Pete are clearly enjoyed the married life. Here are they are lunching at Cafe Med, one of their favorite places.

Before that, however, Ashlee stopped by the DMV to take her driver’s test. x17 says she passed. (Go Ashlee!) Check out this video, though. Photographers are really crowding these two, so much so that Pete Wentz screams at them, “She’s pregnant, move over!”

The crowd WAS pretty ridiculous. Ashlee and Pete are always very kind to the photog’s so I think they need to at least give the girl some breathing room!
