Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson expecting a boy
Mini-me on the way in November for the celebrity couple
Pete Wentz and wife Ashlee Simpson are expecting a baby boy, according to reports.
The couple who married earlier this summer, 'know with 90% accuracy that it's a boy, and our due date is around Thanksgiving," Wentz said in an interview.
But the Fall Out Boy bassist says that they don't have any names picked out, but that they more than likely will be rock star-worthy, telling Playboy: "We don't have any names yet. My friend Andrew said, 'Your kid has to have a name that would fit either a rock star or a senator.'"
Wentz also discussed his depression, and even revealed that he had played Russian Roulette.
"I pulled a trigger on a gun aimed at myself. My friend and I did one pull each. We'd been drinking and had taken Ambien," he said.
"I feel stupid even talking about it. It's one of the reasons I've never owned a gun - I'm too impulsive. I'd probably get mad and shoot someone over a part in a song or something.
"As a kid I always went to therapists; the first time was when my parents were separated on my sixth birthday, then on and off since then. I was diagnosed with ADD - see also: raised on sugary cereals and cartoons - and manic depression. So I was prescribed Ritalin for the ADD, and for the manic imbalances I was prescribed mostly benzodiazepines, which I loved, and antidepressants.The list of drugs I've been prescribed would read like a grocery list, everything from Klonopin to Prozac."
He also told the magazine that he overdosed on anxiety drug Ativan.
"It had more to do with being depressed. I wasn't thinking of killing myself. I've never really called it a suicide attempt. I just wanted my head to be completely turned off," he said.
