Pete Wentz wants to raise his unborn child in his native Chicago, Illinois – because he believes it is a better place to grow up in than California.

The Fall Out Boy star and his new wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz are expecting their first child together later this year.

And Wentz has been preparing for parenthood by taking tips from his own father.

He tells People.com, “I’ve been reading books and watching my dad.”
But he admits he would prefer to move from their current base in Los Angeles to Chicago in time for the baby’s birth.”

He adds, “I think I would rather raise a family here than L.A.; you go to your own coffee shop, you go to the dog park, its smaller and I appreciate it.”

Snoop Dogg has passed on parenting tips to newlyweds Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz during a skit for the Fall Out Boy star’s TV show FNMTV.

The rapper, who appeared on the debut of Wentz’s new weekly show on Friday night, agreed to film a comedy segment at the rocker’s home.

Snoop, a father of three, advised a puzzled Wentz to put his new baby’s crib in the garage because, “You don’t want the baby next to you (in the bedroom) crying because you’re gonna want to knock the boots with Ashlee once she’s had the baby.”
And he urged Wentz to ignore early-learning videos for his child, and stick to rap and hip-hop promos instead.

Then, upon finding an opened bottle of alcohol in the couple’s refrigerator, the rapper suggested the parents-to-be put a “nip nip” (nipple) on top of the booze and let their baby drink from the bottle.

He then got personal by asking, “Ashlee, are you planning on breastfeeding?” to which the pregnant pop star replied, “Oh yeah, it’s so much healthier for the baby.”

But he went too far when he asked, “Do you need some tips?” while sucking on a bottle nipple.

The skit ended with Snoop offering the newlyweds his congratulations and wishing them luck in having “a healthy beautiful little boy,” before begging them not to let the child rap because: “You two are the whitest couple on earth.”

Newlywed Pete Wentz is ready to embrace fatherhood for the first time.

In an interview with E! News on Tuesday night at the Op clothing launch party in Los Angeles, Wentz revealed he’s “excited to be a dad.”

“I’m genuinely a nervous person in general,” said Wentz.

But finding out he was expecting a child with wife Ashlee Simpson, whom he married in a fantasy wedding on May 17, was an exception.

“The first time I ever went to the doctor’s office and heard the (baby’s) heartbeat, I felt totally content and at peace with everything,” he said.

Wentz and his wife, who has changed her name to Ashlee-Wentz but will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz professionally, confirmed the pregnancy on Wentz’s friendsandenemies.com website last Thursday.

“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child,” the couple wrote. “This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”

The day after their wedding, Simpson-Wentz told People, “I would love to have a big family one day.” Added her new husband: “A big soccer team or a band!”

Pete Wentz is desperate to release a new album with his fellow Fall Out Boy bandmates – despite preparing to become a first time father with his new wife Ashlee Simpson.

The rocker wed pop star Simpson last month in a lavish ceremony and two weeks later, the pair confirmed they are expecting their first child.

But, according to Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump, Wentz still has music on his mind – and even on his wedding day, he and his bandmates “were like, ‘We should do another record.’”

Stump adds, “The band is really not talking about a record yet, but we’re all itching to do one. We’re always writing. We’ve had material since (2007 album) Infinity on High dropped. So there is plenty just floating around. There is nothing ‘hiatus’ or ‘indefinite’ about what’s going on with Fall Out Boy right now.”
