+ Katy Perry's evangelical mother isn't exactly thrilled with her daughter's VMA-nominated ode to bicuriosity. Instead, she says, "its message is shameful and disgusting....When ["I Kissed A Girl"] comes on the radio I bow my head and pray." Fortunately for Katy, lots of us disagree. (Popeater)

+ The Game to Lil Wayne: "I don't ever put nobody before myself," says Game. "I feel I'm the greatest alive, I hold it down. But Wayne, he's got it right now. So I don't mind stepping behind for a minute until it's my turn." (MTV)

+ Calling all "Buddy Holly" fans! Weezer needs some extras for their new "Troublemaker" video. Preferably, those living in the "Beverly Hills" area. (Pitchfork)

+ Those never-before-heard U2 songs that hit the web this weekend? Apparently, they were the work of an overzealous fan, who staked out Bono's house and then recorded the sunglasses-wearing frontman listening to his own stereo. Seriously. (Rolling Stone)

+ Forget about Octoberfest. Phil Spector will spend the days leading up to St. Hallow's Eve getting retried for murder. (BBC)

+ Bad news for DMX. The oft-jailed rapper could be stuck behind bars until October. (The Boombox)

+ Jared Leto's not about to take a $30 million lawsuit -- against his band, 30 Seconds to Mars -- sitting down. Instead, he's firing back, describing the suit as "ridiculously overblown," "insane" and "totally unrealistic." Angela Chase would be super proud. (MTV)

Oh, how quickly time flies...

February 23, 2008: Pete and Ashlee "A--hole" announce their mini "A--hole" baby -- street date, July 2008 -- on Friendsorenemies. Telling!!

April 14, 2008: "There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. ... I mean, really, this is crazy." --Pete Wentz (MTV)

April 16, 2008: Ashlee Simpson shoots down MTV News' queries, deeming the preggo question "inappropriate."

May 17, 2008: First comes love, then comes the baby carriage, then comes marriage!

May 20, 2008: Deny, deny, deny.

May 29, 2008: "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." --Mr. and Mrs. Pete Wentz (MTV via FriendsorEnemies)

Congratulations you crazy kids parents-to-be! Now all you have to do is find a uniquely rebellious name for the bundle of joy, and start stocking up on black rhinestoned onesies.

The billion-buck photos from Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's (and their Fall Out Baby's) shotgun wedding are in... or out, we should say... and Hemingway cleans up so nice, y'all! Even if he is in drag. More disturbingly, WTF is up with Jessica's O-face?

And here's some harshness: you sell your photos of the happiest day of your life to People for a million bucks, (guess everyone's gotta make money... including John Mayer) and they slap a divorce on the same cover -- in this case, Shania Twain's split from husband "Mutt." That don't impress me much. But at least Pete got prenup.

Sorry boys and/or girls. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are officially off the market. The two tied the knot yesterday at Chateau Simpson (AKA, the House That MTV & Jessica's Boobs Built) in Beverly Hills.

Double Duty Dad Papa Simpson officiated, and according to People.com, the ceremony featured an Alice in Wonderland theme, seemingly more appropriate for a Bar Mitzvah, but surely it's meaningful to someone, somewhere.

Speaking of double duty, OK! reports that Ashlee took advantage of the friends and family in attendance to announce her pregnancy, which shocked no one and makes the Alice in Wonderland theme even more bizarre and/or appropriate, according to your viewpoint. Again, act shocked.

+ We care about who wins American Idol, but we really care about who wins the Edy's American Idol competition. (Seriously. No one even gave us free s--- to write that.) Our vote: Mint Karaoke Cookie. If only they'd do a total-stoner mash-up with Breyers Bubble Yum Ice Cream.

+ Jordin Sparks might not care who wins Idol. (Pop Justice)

+ Amy Winehouse: boozin' with baby! (A Socialite's Life)

+ John Mayer, your body may indeed be a wonderland, but that sleeve has Punk'd Pop Fiction inked all over it. (Try JM)

+ Sara Bareilles outshines Justin Timberlake at the 2008 ASCAP Pop Awards. (MTV)

+ Pete Doherty does drag. Unfortunately. (Agent Bedhead)

+ Avril gets a front massage. Also unfortunately. (Webster's Is My Bitch)

+ Jermaine Dupri's new record label will smell like Axe Body Spray. (Also also unfortunately.) (Hip-Hop Music)

+ $56 will get you a year-long subscription to All Mariah magazine.

+ Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are still together. (Jessica and Nick are not.)

+ Pete Wentz is denying that Ashlee's pregnant. Though... he never really DID deny it when we talked to him about it. (Side note: why does no one seem to care about Jody Sweetin's new baby?) Meanwhile, is it weird that if we had to pick a celebrity to knock us up, we'd choose Russell Brand? (Celeblite)

Fall Out Boy bassist, DJ, groom-to-be, salon-owner, hoodie connoisseur, activist, and unofficial ambassador to southern Chile Pete Wentz has a lot going on -- you could even say he's too busy for fatherhood at the moment. But regardless of the fact that he and fiancée Ashlee Simpson have never made an official baby announcement, they've been deflecting Fall Out Baby speculation pretty much since they first started dating. He even addressed the issue in a cheeky homemade video.

We wanted to know why gossip blogs are gunning so hard for Pete and Ashlee to hurry up and procreate. (Why not Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel? And does no one want Star Jones to crank one out? That's just cold.)

So we asked Pete. And here's what he had to say:

+ Plus: Stay tuned for more exclusive Pete interview clips!

Unless you've been solely existing in some Second Life dungeon, you know that Jay-Z and Beyonce -- despite their attempts at reticence -- are very married. (Even Gwyneth's been denying it, but then again, uh... who cares?)

And while Beyonce was seen coquettishly wearing some dominatrix-chic long gloves in New York earlier this week (um, we live in New York, and it is not gloves weather), she was rockin' that rock in the ATL on Tuesday.

But one couple that isn't keeping quiet about their wedding plans: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson, who officially announced their engagement late last night. Sweet, but not a huge surprise since she'd been flashing a diamond promise ring since December. And helloooooooes -- we called that! Anyway, Pete and Ashlee are trying to keep it private. Despite the fact that they... announced it quite publicly on FriendsandEnemies.com, which, as of right now, is currently crashing because apparently you care -- you care a lot.

In case you still weren't sure J.Lo was pregnant (or if photos like this weren't cause for pause) ... she was. So pregnant, in fact, that she cranked out a set of his-and-hers shorties just this morning. Best of luck to the Anthony-Lopez household, where things are about to get doubly "loud," if you will. And J.Lo, may you rest up, get good use out of those billion-dollar buggies, skip the Mom jeans and get back into those patent leather trench mini dresses ASAP.

Yay! Gwen Stefani is almost definitely pregnant with her second child! She and Gavin are both so beauteous that they should have other people's babies for them. And Gwen is far and away one of our favorite pregnant famous people ever (Christina Aguilera is a close second, followed by Isla Fischer and Heidi Klum. Tied for last place: super-annoying Brooke Burke, who gets pregnant every five or six minutes, and Angelina Jolie, whose pregnant-and-skinny frame makes her look like a stick figure that swallowed a beach ball), so we look forward to many months of her in the raddest maternity outfits ever. Animal prints. LOTS of animal prints.

The only downside -- does this mean we're gonna have to wait EVEN LONGER for that next No Doubt album? Boo.
