Here's our celebrity gossip post of the day. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy are having a baby according to US Magazine. News of their engagment last week makes a lot more sense now. Representatives for both parties had no comment on the report, but it does seem plausible.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Ashlee Simpson and her fiance, rocker Pete Wentz, are expecting a child together, US Magazine reported on Monday, just days after the couple announced that they were engaged.

Ashlee Simpson has been romantically linked to Wentz, 28, the bassist for the band Fall Out Boy, since 2006.

 

On Thursday the couple posted a statement at the social networking Web site friendsorenemies.com in which they announced that they would be getting married.

"We are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us," the announcement said.

In addition to her career as a singer, Simpson had a role in the U.S. television show "Seventh Heaven." Her new album, "Bittersweet World," is to be released later this month.
