2008_04_petewentz.jpgHopefully Pete Wentz gets his rage issues in check sometime in the next nine months. Yes that’s right, a source confirmed to USmagazine.com today that he and girlfriend Ashlee Simpson will soon be welcoming a little Wentz baby into the world. Not surprisingly, Pete’s coming through on the promise ring he recently gave his lady love, since the couple is apparently engaged. A coy spokesperson for the couple had this to say:

"We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple…Beyond that there is nothing to say."

Assuming the rumors are true, Ashlee joins Jamie Lynn Spears as the little sister of a huge pop star with a shotgun wedding coming up this year. The good news is whether it’s a boy or a girl, Daddy can teach the kid all about eyeliner.
