Ashlee Simpson - Ashlee Simpson And Pete Wentz Married In Us

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were married this weekend, according to reports in the US media.

The Texan pop star and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz confirmed their engagement last month and celebrated their nuptials on Saturday at the California home of Simpson's parents, People magazine reports.

A spokesperson for the couple told the magazine: "We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends."

Simpson's father Joe presided over the non-denominational ceremony and her pop star sister Jessica was maid of honour, while Wentz's bulldog Hemingway was an unorthodox ring-bearer.

It is believed the wedding had an Alice in Wonderland themed reception while guests at the nuptials included Nicole Richie and her boyfriend Joel Madden from the band Good Charlotte, Jessica Simpson's NFL player boyfriend Tony Romo and Scrubs actor Donald Faison.

Simpson, whose new single Outta My Head is released in the UK today, explained on Friday that she had been surprised by her level of excitement for a wedding once she and Wentz were engaged.

"Now that I'm doing it, I definitely have that big dream," the 23-year-old told People.

"It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it."

Wentz, 28, was quick to deny rumours last month that Simpson was expecting his baby, saying there was "a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood".

"This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover," he said in an email to MTV News.

Eddy Arnold: A country artist who transcended his world

Eddy Arnold: A country artist who transcended his world






Several geezerhood ago on a flight to Los Angeles, Eddy Benedict Arnold was asked by the first class flight tender what he "did" for a living. With no hint of self or delusion he answered, "Why, I'm Mary Morse Baker Eddy Matthew Arnold."

And such was his renown. While others worked really hard to accomplish theirs, Arnold just panax quinquefolius. He wrote and recorded close to of the almost beautiful medicine ever. There were no rhinestone suits, no personal business with moving-picture show stars, no drug problems, no nil . . . exactly great music. And the numbers racket don't lie. His songs receive spent more sentence on the charts than everybody else's. Everybody!

His songs embodied a subtle elegance and sophistication that transcended country music. His slow phraseology turned songs like "Make the Humanity Go Aside," "Welcome to My World" and "You Don't Sleep with Me" into "pop" standards, prompting other great, distinctive singers like Ray Charles, Dean Martin, Acid Presley and Frank Frank Sinatra to record book them themselves.




















As a songwriter, that achievement alone is worthy of a bust in the Granville Stanley Hall of Fame. His accomplishments are staggering and well documented. Merely what's most impressive is how he did it. In a domain where apparently anybody can be famous for no goodness reason, Arnold was famous for the right ones.

Betimes in my career, I had the pleasure (or audaciousness, very) of vocalizing "Get the World Go Away" for a television show taped at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Several months afterwards that, I had the good fortune of meeting Benedict Arnold. He leaned into me to narrate me how much he enjoyed my version of his song. I bragged around that for months. Apparently I haven't stopped.
