The newly married couple has confirmed on Pete Wentz’s website, that they are expecting their first child. So, I guess it’s official, that Alice and Wonderland charade was nothing more than a shot gun wedding, perhaps a PR move by papa Joe. Here’s a quote from Pete’s website.

“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

Ashlee Simpson is also changing her name to Ashlee Wentz. Professionally she will use the name Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. She had this to say on the subject:

“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” Simpson said. “It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”

I get the sentiment, and can totally digg that she wants to change her name legally, but Ashlee Simpson-Wentz just doesn’t quite roll of the tongue. I give her 6 months to get out of marital blitz and drop the Wentz “professionally”.
