Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was caught rocking out to her hubby's band in Hell-Ay, as we already mentioned, and today she pulled a Lindsay to blog about her first Bronx-free night in three weeks. "I finally left the house for Fall Out Boy's show on Monday night, which was so good." And she adds, "Motherhood is the most fantastic experience I have ever been thru."

Way to make Jessica way jealous, Ash.

Last night, we caught up with her other half, Pete, at the opening of his art exhibit, "Without You, I'm Just Me." Gallery 1988 on Melrose...

So you're Pete Wentz III. Did you ever consider naming your son Pete, just to get number four out there, we inquired. "There is a lineage of Pete's, but this is not a Pete," said the proud daddy. Good to know.

So, what's with all these celebrities naming their kids such out-there things like Apple and Sunday? Why Bronx? "I think that it's important to name someone after you meet them and you realize who they are. And when I met my son, he looked like he was a Bronx."

At least he didn't resemble Staten Island. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
