Pete Wentz: A Lover And A Fighter

Anthony Miccio — Thu, 01 May 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Pete Wentz is being sued for a beatdown he helped security give a heckler that we reported last June. One wonders what could make such a pleasant, sensitive man like Wentz open a can of whup-ass on someone, and the answer appears to be mocking Ashlee Simpson. If you want proof of how googly-eyed Wentz is for his future wife/babymama, you need look no further than the interview People's Most Beautiful Couple of '08 gave the mag about their "Rock'n'Romance." Warning: The following quotes are not for easily queased.

PW: "The red hair - I think it's awesome!"
AS: "Thanks, babe."
PW: "I had a super Jessica Rabbit crush when I was little. She had red hair like you..."

PW: "Sharing a bathroom with a girl is awesome 'cause I'm just like, 'Oh I'll try this thing.' I honestly don't really know what most of the stuff I use is. I did a facial [mask] today. I think the eye hole went over my nose. I don't buy those kinds of products [as gifts for Ashlee] cause I'm nervous I'm gonna screw up - she likes La Mer only."
AS: "You buy me good jewelry. And you bought me a good Dior bag the other day that I loved."
PW: "I was spending a lot of money at Dior so I kind of like -"
AS: "You were like, 'I feel guilty! I'll get something for her.' He's the best at surprising me. He always does little things here and there that surprise me..."

PW: "[Without makeup,] she reminds me of when I was little in the summer."
AS: "That's cute."
PW: "There's a very specific moment, like, when I was driving in the car with my parents. I don't know. It just reminds me of it. I don't know why."

Awwwwww! And he'll even protect her honor by throwing in some kicks when security pummels a heckler. Hey wait, did she dye her hair red while pregnant? That can't be healthy!
