With her run in Broadway’s Chicago coming to a close on Feb. 7th, singer-actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is getting ready to pack up her belongings and move from N.Y.C back to L.A.
But first, the new mom — son to Bronx Mowgli, 14 months — took some time to talk to Celebrity Baby Blog about her son’s love of forts, parenting with husband Pete Wentz and her work with Hershey’s candies!
How has the transition from living in L.A. to N.Y.C. been?
It’s been great! We’re just here for two more weeks, then we’re headed back home. But it’s been really cool. Doing Chicago has been great, and it’s been wonderful to go through it all with my husband and baby.
What’s it been like for your family with you working and Pete as a stay-at-home dad of sorts?
I think we have such a fine balance in our relationship because he’s working too, so we’ve just worked out our timing really well.
What’s your daily routine like?
We have Bronx on such a schedule, so it’s focused around him. I don’t leave for the show until 6 p.m., so I get ready and go there later, since it’s an 8 p.m. show. Bronx goes to bed an hour later, and I’m home all day, so that’s been really nice. Although we do eight shows a week! So Bronx comes to the theater on the weekends to visit.
How do you deal with that time apart?
He comes up and has lunch or dinner with me at the theater pretty often. He came to a rehearsal, and yelled out “Mama!” when I got onstage. It was really cute!
Do you have any help outside your family?
We do. But we’re definitely a tight-knit family, and Pete and I are very hands-on. Spending time with Bronx is the best thing in the whole world for us.
Do you feel like motherhood has changed you?
Oh absolutely. It’s the best thing of my life, it’s helped me grow. Same for Pete. I think that being a parent in general just changes you so much.
Any products, books or toys you can’t live without?
It’s changing all the time. Bronx is really into all sorts of books, building forts — he’s such a boy! It’s a lot of fun. And he’s definitely on the go, we’re always running around playing games like hide-and-go-seek.
Does Bronx listen to your music?
He’s definitely heard Fall Out Boy and my music, too, but we play everything for him. He gets to choose his own kind of music, but he doesn’t have a favorite yet.
Would you be supportive if he wanted to go into the music industry?
Yeah, definitely! It’s definitely not something I’d push on him — I want to let him be whatever he wants to be — but we’ll see.
Do you think your experiences growing up in the spotlight will help him down the road?
Yes I’m sure, although we don’t want to raise him in the spotlight. We try to keep our life as private as we can.
Does Bronx notice the paparazzi? How does your family deal?
I think he’s just starting to notice them. It’s more frustrating for Pete and me — Bronx doesn’t quite get it!
What’s next for you career-wise?
I plan to take two weeks off for sure, just to be home and enjoy some down time. And then after that I’m going to start writing again. I’m also looking at some films.
Will you miss performing in Chicago?
I’m excited to go home, and I’m definitely ready to go home! But 10 weeks here was fun, and being on Broadway was a dream.
Tell us about your work with Pieces candy!
I’m definitely a chocolate fan! I’m a Reese’s girl, I like the York Peppermint Patties, so these new bags are great to pick up on the go, because with me, I’m always on the go. But no candy for Bronx yet!
I also bring the candies backstage — it’s nice to have them at the theater because you can grab a quick snack in between numbers. We love it!

With two weeks left to go on her “Chicago” run, 2010 is all about new possibilities. “I’m going to take a few weeks to just take a deep breath, and enjoy being at home,” says Simpson-Wentz, “and then I’ll start writing again, getting back in the studio, and looking at scripts.” When asked if her new album will be of a similar style to her last, or have any influence from her Fall Out Boy husband, the singer replies, “I’m definitely in a new place in my life. Pete and I share music, but I’m going to keep doing my own thing.”

At Hershey’s Time Square Store – January 27 [HQ] +117
   
Getting an early start to the day, Ashlee Simpson was spotted stepping out in New York City on Wednesday (January 27).
Bundled up for the brisk weather, the former “Melrose Place” actress exited her Big Apple apartment to go to a candy store meet-n-greet in Times Square.
Tweeting about the outing, Ashlee wrote this morning: “Working w/ Hershey?s in NYC is fun. I LOVE the new York, Hershey?s Special Dark & Almond Joy Pieces. They are just as good as Reeses Pieces.”
Explaining further, Miss Simpson tweeted the previous evening: “Have you tried new Pieces Candies? Hershey’s has invited me to try some. Meet me @ Hershey’s Times Square 1/27 @ 8 a.m. to try some for free.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is wrapping up her run on Broadway in the musical “Chicago,” but the former “Melrose Place” star has no plans to head straight back into work.
“We’ll see what’s next, but I’m gonna have some mommy time and take a little break,” Ashlee told Access Hollywood on Tuesday at the launch of Hershey’s Pieces Wrapper Reward Program in New York City.
Before Ashlee can devote all her waking hours to 14-month-old son Bronx Mowgli, who was born in November 2008, she has a handful of performances left to go in “Chicago.”
“I’ve had a blast here doing ‘Chicago,’” Ashlee told Access. “It’s been wonderful and to be on stage in Broadway, that was always a dream of mine, so it’s been great. I’ve got two weeks left and I’ve really enjoyed it and I’m ready to get back home.”
Ashlee is also looking forward to seeing the full version of her sister’s upcoming VH1 series, the “Price of Beauty,” which premieres on March 15 – a show Jessica’s sister has only seen part of.
“I’ve seen previews of the show and I’ve seen a few minutes here and there, and it’s so funny and so cool and it’s really a beautiful show so I’m excited for her,” Ashlee said.
And Ashlee thinks Jessica’s show, which sees the country singer traveling the world examining different ideals of beauty abroad, is a great idea.
“Everybody has such a different standard… in every different country and culture and it’s really interesting,” she said. “It’s a way of finding beauty within yourself and I like that she’s sending that message.
“I think the best thing even about the show is finding your inner beauty and what you do love about yourself,” Ashlee added. “And I think, Jessica’s the most beautiful woman, ever.”
But when asked about one person who has been espousing her own idea of beauty lately – beauty that includes 10 plastic surgery procedures — Ashlee had no comment.
“I think everybody’s made comments on it and we all know so I don’t even need to make a comment,” she said of Heidi Montag.
