Pete Wentz Grammyless Because of Ashlee Simpson?
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. Ever since her infamous Saturday Night Live lip-synching disaster, Ashlee hasn’t exactly been highly-regarded among industry big wigs.
An inside source told press, “Grammy voters are fed up with Ashlee after she was caught lip-synching. And her relationship with Pete has definitely affected public opinion of the band.”
And nothing unifies like a common enemy… the other 3 members of FOB have ganged up against Simpson’s relationship with Pete. “The guys in Fall Out Boy are furious. They think everything Ashlee touches is poison, and they really want her to stop touching Pete!”
