Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson's baby due?

Pete Wentz cancelled a television appearance yesterday (November 14), sparking rumours that his baby with wife Ashlee Simpson is due imminently.

The Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist was set to appear on the American TV show Larry King Live, but informed fans of his cancellation on an online journal.

Writing on Friendsorenemies.com, Wentz said: "Due to breaking news and scheduling conflicts, I will not be appearing on Larry King Live tonight, though I am a big fan of the show and look forward to appearing on it in the future."

Wentz also spoke out against Proposition 8, which effectively bans gay marriages in the US, saying: "I also look forward to the chance to continue supporting civil rights and speaking out against the passing of Proposition 8 and others like it (I'm looking at you, Arizona and Florida) whenever and wherever I can."

Simpson and Wentz married in May this year.
