Wentz and Simpson Blast Bad Blood Rumors

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.”

He continued, “And at the same time, we’re just over it. We don’t need to be validated by a piece of metal. Don’t believe the gossip columns out there. This ‘poisonous’ person that was mentioned is nothing short of awesome, and we fully back her. Everything in Camp FOB is all good.”

The “pal” Trohman was referring to is an unnamed source used in a New York Daily News Article published shortly after Fall Out Boy was slighted in the Grammy nomination ceremony. The “pal” claimed that FOB blamed Ashlee for their diss, given her association with the band and her distaste among music critics.

Looks like that one is cleared up.
