This may be news but I don’t think it’s surprising to anyone. Ashlee Simpson has had a whirlwind couple of months what with a new album, new marriage, and now new baby on the way. And I guess she’s decided to call it a day, at least for a little while, and is taking a break and putting her summer tour on hold. The tour was to promote her new album, but she doesn’t think she’d be able to give her fans the best of Ashlee. She promises that when she comes back, she will be better than ever for her fans. And here she is showing just how relaxed she is with her new hubby Pete Wentz as they spend some time goofing around at a Memorial Day party in Los Angeles. Pete’s hiding from the paps with a plate over his face that says ‘Your Ad Could be Here’ which is kind of funny that he’s, albeit jokingly, asking for endorsements when the happy Wentz couple just sold their wedding shots to People Magazine for a sweet $1.4 million. Maybe with that extra padding in the bank Ashlee is not too worried about the tour dollars, and hence, yet another reason to call for a break.

Yesterday Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz and ‘Pieces of Me’ singer Ashlee Simpson got married in a very private and intimate ceremony in Hollywood. Just a handful of their nearest and dearest were in attendance, including Jessica Simpson and her *whatever* Tony Romo, along with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. While no wedding pictures have been released yet, Ashlee was stunning in a gown designed by Monique L’Huillier that she accessorized with gems in a diamond necklace and matching earrings from Neil Lane. But perhaps the biggest shock of the evening came when Ashlee announced at their wedding reception that yes, all of those pregnancy rumors are in fact true. Shocking? No. We were just wondering when they were going to tell everyone, and on the happiest day of their lives? Why not.

Ellen tries to get the info out of Ashlee, but still no answer. They also discuss her clip-ins and how her boyfriend Pete Wentz likes running his hands through her hair?

Have in common? Well, looks for a starter. Oh, the good old days… plenty of Duck Tales and no Ashlee Simpson/ Pete Wentz. But, then we wouldn’t be getting stellar pics like this one! Here’s Ashlee out to lunch yesterday with some friends @ Café Med on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. In other Ashlee news, she’s finally set a release date for her new album, Bittersweet World, for April 22nd.
