Shotgun Weddin'?

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz got engaged. (Yeah, that'll last.) Now rumors of her being knocked up. (That makes sense.)

In an e-mail Pete sent to MTV News, he denied reports that surfaced Monday , April 14, on the websites of OK! and Us magazines saying he and Ashlee Simpson, 23, are expecting their first child. "There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood," wrote Pete, 28. "This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover. ... I mean really, this is crazy. ... I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it."
