In news that I thought was confirmed 4 weeks ago, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have announced on Pete’s website, friendsorenemies.com, that they are in fact “with child.” Just when Ashlee thought she’d never have to see her old nose or chin again, looks like she’ll be giving birth to it around December 2008.

Here’s what the shotgun couple had to say:

“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.”

While Pete certainly wreaks of day-old douche, I guess they’re right for waiting for the first trimester to pass before making it public. This got me to thinking. I think I’m going to follow a random person on the street that has a little bit of a stomach and shout at her “I think you’re pregnant.” Then I’m going to take pictures of her every day and put them on IBBB with arrows that say “baby bump?” I wonder if it’s just as fun when it’s not a celebrity. Stay tuned.
