People.com is reporting it now so it must be true, right? Or they must want us to believe it’s true right? Because according to the celebrity ass-kissing magazine, Ashlee Simpson is indeed pregnant and she and Pete Wentz will wed in May. So says their “source”. In other words: Joe Simpson.

Of course it’s escaped no one that Ashlee’s new album drops in a week. Same goes for her clothing line. The question is, now that she’s dominated the headlines (on a slow smut week), will baby fever sell more records?

Here’s Ashlee out and about in NYC yesterday on publicity, dodging questions she deemed “too personal”. Will leave it to you pregnancy-obsessed to over analyse whether or not she’s really expecting.
