Double The Fun?

E! News did a report on bassist Pete Wentz of 'Fall Out Boy' and his wife since may, Ashlee Simpson. They wanted to find out if the couple were perhaps having more than one bundle of joy. Wentz's friend Tyga appeared to have spilled the beans on possible twins but Wentz denies such a thing from being true. He insists that there is only one baby coming instead of the curious two.
E! did an alright job on presenting this article to the public, as to some (FOB fans or celeb gossipers) it is indeed newsworthy and important. However, E! was a little less than professional with the article stating, "Eleven days later the young rockers announced that Ashlee was preggers." As lovely a word 'preggers' is, I don't think it was necessary to use and quite crude wordchoice. As this goes, it's very likely that the idea of two new baby rockers is still but a rumour and only one child is coming to Pete and Ashlee.

Here is a link to the article for your viewing enjoyment: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b27691_pal_ashlee_pete_expecting_twins.html

Nice commentary here! You were wise to pick up on the fact that some entertainment stories are not always the most reliable (especially ones that use the word "preggers").
