Ashlee Simpson

While Mandy Moore and Chace Crawford were holding New Years festivities at The Raleigh Hotel in Miami, not far away, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were busy with hosting duties of their own.

The Fall Out Boy bassist and his Pieces Of Me singing girlfriend were in the Sunshine state to run a grand fete at The Shore Club, with help from fellow celebs Eve and Christina Milian.

If there was the slightest shred of doubt that Tony Romo is utterly infatuated with Jessica Simpson, it just flew out the window.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback made a bold move last night, bringing the “With You” singer along for the ride on a radio interview with Live 105.3 FM’s show “Inside the Huddle.”

Bringing an end to the speculation regarding Fall Out Boy’s bitterness toward bassist Pete Wentz’s girlfriend Ashlee Simpson, the happy couple was spotted grabbing dinner in NYC before showing up at Pete’s club Angels & Kings.

According to guitarist Joe Trohman’s blog, "We don't have any 'pals' that gossip to the tabloids over our business. Those kind of folk are called douchebags, and we don't fraternize with douchebags. We also don't blame a certain someone for our lack of a Grammy nod. That's absolutely f---ing absurd. We might be irrational, chemically imbalanced babies, but our discontent is only directed at those who we feel slighted us to a degree.”

Pete Wentz wasn’t ambiguous about his disdain for this year’s Grammy Nominations. Given that his platinum-plus-selling band Fall Out Boy went unmentioned was, admittedly, a bit peculiar. And now his bandmates are reportedly placing the blame on Wentz’s chick, Ashlee Simpson.

The “La La” singer has apparently tarnished Fall Out Boy’s reputation among music critics as a result of her association with the Clandestine Industries bassist.
