Pete Wentz admitted in a recent interview that he and Ashlee Simpson’s son Bronx Mowgli was a “happy mistake.” In addition, Pete spills the beans about his “drugstore cowboy” past, sort-of suicide attempt and how meeting his “soul mate” Ashlee helped him clean up a lot of his dicey, adolescent behaviors. He also says Jay-Z is his role model. Interesting.

more pictures after the hop…

He told Details magazine:

Upon hearing the new Ashlee was pregnant when he was on tour with Fall Out Boy in Chile:

“I was like, ‘Oh my God, this might be the worst possible time to have this conversation…I was definitely scared, just thinking, This is something that’s going to exist for the rest of your life and you can’t fuck it up. It was a happy accident. But I think that certain things happen for a reason in your life, and maybe it was time to put the wild child in a cage.”

On his “drugstore cowboy” days:

One chilly day in February 2005, Wentz sat in a car in a Best Buy parking lot outside Chicago and swallowed a handful of Ativan. He then began woozily contacting friends and family members, who persuaded him to drive to the nearest emergency room. He eventually wrote about the incident in the song ”Hum Hallelujah.” Then, about a year ago, he quit everything except for the sleep aids cold turkey. “Dude, after Heath Ledger,” he says, “I was just like, Man, this is not going to end up good.”

Not sure if you gentle readers knew this or not, but Pete Wentz took naked pictures of himself. Yeah, don’t try to visualize it. The photos made there way onto the net and he affectionatly refers it it as “Penisgate.” Ugh. I’ll leave you on that delightful note.
