Gossipers today are chattering that Ashlee Simpson has been told by her dad, Joe Simpson, that she can’t bring boyfriend Pete Wentz home for Christmas dinner, according to Star Magazine today.

Believe it with a grain of salt.

“Joe was sceptical about the relationship from the start,” an insider tells Star Magazine. “There is a rumour that Pete tried to commit suicide, but with the news of his possible bisexuality, Joe blew his top.” About Ashlee: “She is upset, but she values her dad’s opinions and has agreed.”

Earlier this year, the 28-year-old Fall Out Boy star told NPR Radio said he wishes to be gay. Wishes?

“I would never come out and say I’m gay, because I’m not gay,” said Pete. “There’s part of me that kind of wishes I was gay, and I think that comes from anybody constantly wishing they were in the minority and constantly wants to be fighting everybody off. I started wearing make up because I felt like it tested some boundaries. Smear it. Because if you’re a guy, you don’t want your makeup to look perfect. My whole point is I think there’s something in art where you should be making people feel uncomfortable.”
