Improbably critically successful acts merge

falloutboy.jpg
The lead singer from Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump, has taken a small break from winning the hearts of teenage girls. The Stumpster shot a cameo for an upcoming episode of Law & Order.

Stump, the voice behind brilliant lyrics such as "He, he tastes like you only sweeter" and “I keep telling myself/I'm not the desperate type” has always been a L&O buff, and said, “I've been begging forever, 'cause I'm just a fan."

The connection between emo and Law & Order is simple. Law & Order is something watched begrudgingly in sweatpants because there’s nothing better on TV on Saturday nights. Emo music, a punk offshoot signified by its propensity towards angst and loud guitar-playing, is also born out of desperation.

• Rosie O'Donnell blows up at Barbara Walters for not disputing Trump's claims that Walters "regretted" hiring her.

• Fall-Out Boy (and one-time Ashlee Simpson "hump buddy") Pete Wensz gets out his pent-up aggression by beating up a security guard…on tape.

• Angelina Jolie is sorry for blasting Madonna's adoption of a Malawi boy, and wants to remind us that snatching kids from third-world families is "totally okay."

• Julia Roberts possibly having twins, possibly just used to shopping for two.

• Hilary Swank gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; Chad Lowe says, 'Hey, that's great Hil. BTW, thanks again for blabbing to the tabs about my substance abuse problem.'

• Lara Spencer being considered for the Today show; considers it a "great opportunity" to continue copying Diane Sawyer's career.

Usually so willing to answer our candid questions, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (and fall out of pants boy) was unusually coy on the MTV VMA red carpet yesterday — especially when it came to Ashlee Simpson. We were \asking him one of our stock questions (see above clip), which happened to be about Ashlee: "What makes Ashlee Simpson more obnoxious? That she won't cop to having a nose job, that she can't sing live, or that she's Jessica Simpson's sister?"

We expected at least a playful snub, but no, nothing. Just a publicist-friendly "she's so sweet" type response that we would've expected from Christina Aguilera. And then we read today's Page Six item:

ASHLEE Simpson may claim she's dating her bandmate Braxton Olita, but she looked a little too cozy with Fall Out Boys' Pete Wentz at G-Spa the other night. The two spent time together at big sister Jessica's Yahoo! roller-skating party at the Roxy, but got even closer at the after party at G-Spa. While others including Ashlee's father Joe, mom Tina and blogger Perez Hilton looked on, Ashlee and Wentz sat together in a corner, cuddled and whispered all night until they left together.

Questions: answered.

Pete Wentz

Lindsay Lohan who reportedly is not coming to New York for the MTV Video Music Awards (she needs to take a break from the party scene before she gets fired) has left some big, swaggy shoes to fill.

Though they will have to pay taxes on all their swag this year (do they even know this?) celebs are still rushing the "gift lounges" (whole lounges!) to snap up all the free crap they can easily afford to buy.

This year's hot items were Dior makeup (Rihanna's pick), YSL sunglasses (Method Man stopped at one pair), and $150 anti-wrinkle cream, grabbed by (who else?) Al Reynolds Jones.

Fall Out Boy snapped of armfuls of, what was by far our favorite celeb swag snag, women's Salt jeans..

The alt-rock band Fall Out Boy, crossed gender lines at Sirius to stock up on women's Salt jeans for themselves - in the alarmingly waiflike sizes of 26 and 27 - while shoveling goodies from Lotus into their mouths. (Lord knows where the food ended up!) Then the band had their eyebrows plucked by folks from Sania's Brow Bar.

Hopefully Pete Wentz can try to keep his junk in these pants. We're sure Salt doesn't want their name running along side photos of Wentz' you-know-what.

Pete Wentz

Yesterday brought with it a series of naked photos of Pete Wentz, bassist of this-minute emo band Fall Out Boy. You might know them from their single "Sugar We're Going Down," with the lyrics "Waaah, waaah / Waaah waaah waaah waaah waaah waaah." In the ensuing hours – and probably without the knowledge of Island Records – Wentz updated Fall Out Boy's official soapbox.

so as some of you obviously know someone hacked into my sidekick and took pictures off of it. this was very upsetting and a total invasion of privacy. i can't explain to you how it feels. whats even more absurd to me is that anyone would care to see a couple of racy pictures of some shitty, dirty boy. after feeling badly about this for about 24 hours, i am now ready to get back to laughing.

its been a tough couple of weeks for me lately. the only good thing about times of adversity is that you realize who your real friends and fans are- and the rest go away- which in my mind is an ok thing. i just wanted to take the time to thank the people who continually stand by my side- a special thanks to absolutepunk.net and mikey way for being amazing.

the moral of the story: if you really dont want pictures of yourself to end up on the internet. dont take the pictures.

now please return to the shittalking at whatever messageboard you are at.

OMG! gaah. i forgot the most important part- how the fuck did santino not win? santino > pete wentz - for sure- thought i could have understood if daniel won, but her? blah.

now you can really go back.

Glad to hear that after all this public trauma, Pete Wentz is already moving on to the more important things in life: Project Runway. But, from our knowledge of the events, previous reports that Wentz's Sidekick has hacked into (as he claims) are false. Rather, he sent the photos to a lady friend (Chris' girlfriend), who then leaked them. Jackass.

Pete Wentz

We're never going to claim to be experts on emo bands. But naked photos of B-list celebrities? Yes, we're just gonna say it: we're experts. Which is why we're on the case of the naked photos of Pete Wentz from the band Fall Out Boy.

The details on this incident are a bit blurry, but just know this: there are at least four photos of him – likely stolen from his Sidekick, a la Paris Hilton – in various states of undress that have been leaked.

How'd they get out? We understand Wentz, the guitarist for Fall Out Boy, is feuding with a former friend named Chris from Chicago — and the two have been dueling on, of all things, their blogs. What's the spat? Seems Pete had a thing for Chris' lady friend, made a pass, and pissed off his best mate.

But at least Chris is handling the photo leak of his former friend like a true hipster.

ok ok ok, big deal..its a penis, and if mine was half as pretty i would be shoving it in the face of every last one of you. its the punk rock equivalent of a sex tape, and do you know anyone whos career has been hurt by a sex tape? no. no one. like the old saying goes; theres no such thing as bad publicity.

Now, we're not saying Chris was responsible for the photos leaking (okay, we might be saying that, but stamp it with an "allegedly") — but you gotta respect a fella who rationalizes his fascination with his ex-mate's dick with that "all publicity is good publicity" excuse.

After the jump, feast your eyes on the very candid Pete Wentz, our very own fall out of pants boy.
