Pete Wentz blames Ashlee Simpson Wentz for Fall Out Boys’ problems. Ouch. That can’t be too good for the marriage! Fall Out Boy is taking a break until Pete at least, can get things together and calm down.

More pictures of Pete and Ashlee after the spat…

Pete and Ashlee got together right at the peak of his career, and Pete kind of ignored it from then. OK, not ignored, but was distracted. He says via from Contact Music:

The rockers have decided to shelve the group indefinitely to allow them all more time to concentrate on their own projects.

Wentz is convinced his high profile relationship with wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, which propelled the rocker into the gossip columns, had a negative impact on their music and he wanted to take a step back to stop his celebrity persona from overshadowing the band.

He tells British magazine Kerrang!, “My biggest personal reason for taking a break is that I feel my name has become a hindrance for the band.

I wonder if this is the real reason or if the band mates will come forth with another version. Good luck Pete!
