Remember Ashlee and Pete Wentz filed for divorce in February, but she’s recently been spotted kissing and groping an upcoming new actor and his name is Vincent Piazza.

Vincent is a 26-year old best known for playing mobster Lucky Luciano on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” He played Division One hockey in college for Villanova, he’s done some Broadway and had a recurring role on the “The Sopranos.”

Jessica Simpson is expanding her fashion empire to the tween market, and this time she will get some help from Ashlee Simpson. The “Come on Over” singer is creating a tween line that will feature shoes, outerwear, sportswear, activewear and jeans as part of the Jessica Simpson Collection. Her younger sister will serve as co-creative director.

The 30-year-old tells Women’s Wear Daily, “Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand.” On her collaboration with Ashlee, she says, “I’m excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today’s tweens.”

26-year-old Ashlee herself has shared on what she is aiming for in creating the new fashion line. She notes, “My goal as co-creative director will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion.”

The new collection, which will also include knit tops, hoodies, pullovers, striped shrunken knits and graphic T-shirts, is expected to debut later this year with affordable pieces. It will be made available in over 400 stores across the United States and Canada, including Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, Belk, Von Maur, Bon-Ton and The Bay.

Writing sesh on the balcony. My album doesn’t seem so far away…

Ashlee and Pete want to get back together more than ever, but Papa Joe could be getting in the way by shopping a show about Ashlee being single!

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz want desperately to get back together, despite Ashlee’s divorce filing back in February. HollywoodLife.com spoke exclusively to a source close to Pete who tells us the couple is practically inseparable these days, but there’s a major wedge preventing them from fully getting back together.

Unbelievably enough, that wedge is, according to our source, none other than Ashlee’s dad Joe Simpson.

“Joe is trying to shop around a reality show about Ashlee’s single life, and he’s already taken meetings with Oxygen and VH1 but so far they haven’t gone anywhere cause Ashlee wasn’t present. Before the ink on the divorce papers was even dry, Joe was booking Ashlee for studio time and filling up her schedule. She told her father she wasn’t feeling up to it, but Joe hired someone to film her when she chopped off her hair. They’ve also filmed her during a guitar lesson,” our source said. “They haven’t really filmed anything at all with Bronx especially because that would require Pete’s consent.”

As for Ash and Pete, they’re more “back together” than “separated” — much more. “Ashlee is always with Pete, even when he’s taking business meetings. Just yesterday they were doing something for Mother’s Day together,” we’re told.

(Ashlee filed for divorce Feb. 9 — and Pete filed a response asking for joint custody of their 2-year-old son Bronx.)

Pete doesn’t have ill will towards Joe, says our source, but he’s definitely troubled by the fact that he’s standing in the way. “Pete would love to just concentrate on a life with Ashlee and Bronx. When they got married he was at the height of his career, he was a big bassist, and he feels like the couple never had a real chance together,” our source said.

“It’s hard to pitch a show about Ashlee’s single life when she’s in the midst of reconciling with her ex-husband,” our source said.

Ashlee and Pete’s reps have no comment as yet.

Joe is pushing his daughter hard to do the show, our source says: “Joe is really working hard to make the reality show happen. He wants to have a pilot put together by August, just in time for the MTV Movie Awards so she could walk the carpet and start doing press.”

We contacted Joe about the show, and his response was: “Not correct. Sorry.”

Even though Pete has a lot of business to tend to this summer, including a project with Fuse in NYC and going out on the road with Cobra Starship, he’s putting everything on hold and is waiting for Ashlee. “He wants to know where he stands with her. He feels like they’re at a standstill and he can’t commit to any work until he hears from Ashlee,” our source said.

Joe may be working to prevent a reconciliation, but the rest of her family would be thrilled to see the couple officially back together! “Tina and Jess love Pete, they see him as Bronx’s father and they would definitely be for it,” our source said.

Ashlee we just want to thank you for being such an amazing person and now an amazing mother congrats!

Ashlee Simpson and her estranged husband Pete Wentz were spotted grabbing fast food two days in a row this weekend.

On Saturday, they were photographed picking up grub at In-n-Out Burger in L.A., and then on Sunday they were spotted at a Taco Bell.

Last month, Simpson filed for divorce and just days ago Wentz sought joint custody of their son Bronx.

In light of this weekend’s two outings, Us Weekly asks, “Maybe this marriage can be saved . . . by burgers and burritos?”

Gossip Cop looked into this, and despite their back-to-back fast food dates, Simpson and Wentz are not getting back together.

A source close to Wentz tells us there’s “no reconciliation. They are just really committed to keeping it amicable and as normal as possible for Bronx.

Two days after the former couple drove together to a Hollywood In-N-Out Burger, Wentz, 31, called into Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM morning show to discuss his new band, Black Cards, and to praise Simpson, 26.

“It’s like Ashlee’s been my best friend for five years,” Wentz said Monday. “She’s the mother of my child. I have nothing but love and respect for her. Going through something like this isn’t easy, but we’re friends, and the most important thing is to put our son first.”

Wentz says keeping the details of his divorce private is tough, though, fortunately, the celebrity news cycle has been busy lately.

“It’s hard to … maintain your private life,” he says. “You want to do it, especially when there’s a kid involved. It’s like the one time on earth I’m like, ‘Thank god Charlie Sheen exists.’ ”

In spite of it all, the rocker says his son’s spirits are high.

“He’s doing awesome,” Wentz says. “He’s crazy. It’s like something new everyday. Everything’s like a new discovery for him. All of a sudden he’s opening doors and all of a sudden he wants to paint.”

“His new thing is hiding cell phones and credit cards and stuff,” Wentz continues. “I’m like, ‘So where’s dad’s cell phone?’ And he laughs. He thinks it’s a comedy bit.”

Ashlee Simpson Out with New Man – Well which didn’t take long. Ashlee Simpson is now starting by the divorce with Pete Wentz, as well as she has already been speckled canoodling with the brand new man, Craig Owens!

The rumored miscarry child is the musician as well as sealed to Wentz’s Decaydance label. Awkward! Simpson was speckled behaving affectionately with Owens whilst he was tucking his arm around her shoulders as well as disposition over to give her the bus upon the lips whilst selling in L.A. Do we consider Owens is the miscarry or only the consoling friend?

EDIT: this is complete bull sh*t, this rumor is false.

The amicable split between Pete Wentz and soon-to-be ex-wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz appears to be taking a slightly less friendly turn. The couple, who separated earlier this year and seemed to be on good terms, appear to be headed to court to resolve a brewing custody dispute over their 2-year-old son, Bronx.

According to TMZ, Wentz filed papers on Monday in response to Simpson’s divorce petition. The former Fall Out Boy bassist asked that a judge grant joint physical and legal custody of their son and requested that each spouse pay their own legal fees. The gossip site also claimed to have obtained a copy of the divorce petition, in which lawyers for Simpson-Wentz checked a box indicating that she wanted primary physical custody of the toddler and that she wanted Wentz to pay her legal fees as well.

The Wentz form lists May 16, 2008, as the date of their marriage and February 9, 2011, as the date of their separation.

When news of the divorce broke last month, sources close to the couple said they were intent on riding out the split peacefully and putting their focus on Bronx’s well-being. “It’s very amicable. They’re on very friendly terms and speaking — it’s fine,” an insider told People magazine at the time. “They’ve just grown apart. They’ve been growing apart for quite some time.”

The source added that parenting their toddler remained their top priority. “It’s all about Bronx for them. They’re fantastic parents — Pete says she’s a great mom, and she says he’s a great father,” the insider said. “It’s about Bronx’s care and well-being and happiness for them.”

Insiders have also echoed the “growing apart” reasoning to TMZ, adding that their respective careers — Simpson has largely eschewed the spotlight since 2008′s Bittersweet World, while Wentz has dabbled in fashion and piloted other musical projects — wedged them apart.

“After Bronx was born, Ashlee made a conscious decision to get out of the business, but Pete’s heart was in music so he kept touring and that became a big issue in their relationship,” the source added.

While insiders have maintained the split is drama-free, TMZ reports that Simpson left because of Wentz’s antics. “It’s really all about Pete’s erratic behavior,” the source said. “She really wanted out.”
