Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz could soon be bound for the Big Apple.

While snagging a few Billabong swimsuits at the Boost Mobile BBQ in Malibu and perusing puppies at the Hilton Pet Lounge, Ashlee, 23, told a pal she was “bored of Hollywood and looking to find a place in NYC.”

The singer, who is expecting her first child with Fall Out Boy hubby Pete, 29, wants her baby to be grounded and believes an East Coast upbringing would make that possible.

“Plus,” the friend adds, “They’re trying to find a place in Chicago as well so Pete can be close to his family!”

After marrying Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in May, Pete Wentz is finally ready to sell his sweet Hollywood Hills bachelor pad. E! News has learned that Wentz put his three-bedroom, three-bath house on the market this week. The rocker purchased the house in 2006 for $1,625,000 and is trying to sell it now for $1,799,000.

According to Wentz’s realtor listing, the “late mid-century” house has “sweeping 180 degree views of the Valley to the Hollywood Sign.” The “secluded celebrity Hollywood Hills hide-a-way features a light and bright floor plan with fantastic architectural details, land, pool, spa & outdoor BBQ entertaining area.”

And did we mention a rock star used to live here?

When Wentz and Simpson-Wentz were engaged, they split their time between two houses, but they’ve settled at Simpson-Wentz’s more family-friendly Beverly Hills home, a nearly 6,000-square-foot place with four bedrooms and four baths.

This way, even if they were to have the now almost-mandatory Hollywood twins, they will still have plenty of space for their family to grow.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson will ask John Mayer to be a godparent to their baby when it’s born.

Pete has recently formed a friendship with rocker John - a former beau of Ashlee’s sister Jessica - and reckons he would be a good role model for their baby girl, due in October.

A source close to the couple says: “Pete and John have been spending a lot of time together lately and they get on so well.

“They are firm friends. John gets a bad rap and is always portrayed as a bad boy but he’s got a heart of gold.

“Pete and Ashlee know that and they think he would make a great godparent.”

The source adds: “But they are holding back asking him at the moment because they are not sure how Ashlee’s sister Jessica would feel about her ex having such a strong link to her new niece.”

At the Victoria’s Secret PINKapalooza back-to-school collection launch, it was a very pregnant Ashlee Simpson that stole the show.

There to support her new hubby Pete Wentz and his band Fall Out Boy, the flame haired singer rocked out backstage in a floor length dress as the band performed their classic hits together for the first time in months.

The newlyweds are expecting their first child together, and the expectant father was happy to gush to OK! about how he’s preparing for the big day.

“I’m reading all the books,” Wentz said. “The best one I’ve read so far is “The Expectant Father.” I’m talking to my dad a lot. I’m talking to Ashlee’s dad a lot. We hang out with other people who have kids. You see the world in a different way. It’s exciting.”

So how are Pete’s friends treating the new dad-to-be?

“My friends are all really excited for me,” he tells OK!. “Andy [Hurley] was the first to respond to anything. Like, I sent out the email for my wedding and Andy responded seven minutes later like ‘I’ll be there and these are the sizes of my clothes.’”

Pete Wentz has radio DJ and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest to thank for helping to make his recent honeymoon a paparazzi-free one.

The Fall Out Boy star and his pregnant bride took off to Turks and Caicos, but called in to Seacrest’s Los Angeles breakfast show in a bid to fool the media.

Wentz insisted he and his wife had decided not to spend money on an expensive vacation, and instead they were honeymooning in the basement of their California home, surrounded by inflatable palm trees.

And the media bought the ruse.

Chuckling about the prank during a chat with Seacrest on Thursday, Wentz said, “They (paparazzi) were at the house… I’d actually called you from Turks and Caicos and it got picked up on and people ran with the story that we were, like, fake baking with plastic palm trees in the basement. For once my cheap, scummy image paid off for me.”

But the honeymoon wasn’t entirely paparazzi free - one eager Turks and Caicos snapper spotted the couple and shot photos of them walking along a beach.

Pete Wentz needs to get his paperwork in order after reportedly learning his driving license is invalid.

The newlywed Fall Out Boy star was pulled over by police in Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon.

Fortunately for Wentz, his sister Hilary was driving his black SUV - and so the rocker wasn’t hauled off to the nearest police station.

But, when he identified himself as the owner of the vehicle, embarrassed Wentz was told his license had expired and he needed to update the information before he could get back behind the wheel.

An eyewitness says, “Pete wasn’t happy at all, especially when he realized his every move was being photographed by the paparazzi. The police officer understood his concerns and agreed to follow Pete and his sister into a nearby movie studio lot. A little while later the officer left after giving Pete a warning.”
