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.”

These days when he isn’t rocking out with Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz can often be found speaking to his unborn child or reading books about fatherhood.

“I talk to it all the time,” he told People Saturday at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 86 afterparty in Las Vegas. “The Expectant Father tells you that the woman, when she speaks, the baby hears her all the time. And the father’s voice isn’t familiar unless you talk to it, so I talk to it all the time.”

Armin Brott’s parenthood tome is just one of the books the bassist is reading to prepare himself for his and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s first child together.

“It tells you your partner’s moods month-by-month and week-by-week,” says Wentz, who is also getting advice from both his father and Joe Simpson. “It tells you why you’re feeling the way you are, how you can feel more involved in the pregnancy.”

And while Ashlee often has cravings for ice cream, pickles and green olives, everything is “going well,” says Wentz, who performed a two-hour DJ set at the House of Blues following the UFC match.

In fact, he is already hinting at more children in the future: “This is the first one so we’ll have to base the next one on how we do on the first one.”

Are Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz expecting a Fall Out Boy?

That’s what it seems like, according to their baby registry, CelebTV.com reports.

The newlyweds stopped by baby boutqiue Petit Tresor last month to prep their list and “almost everything [they picked out] is blue.”

Ashlee and Pete also weren’t trying very hard to keep it a secret either, a salesperson adds.

“They made it very clear that it was a boy,” the source says.

Also telling? One of the Plain Mary bibs they snatched up was emblazoned with the word “Hunk.”

In addition to that, the musical lovebirds bought other bibs labeled “Loved” and “Yummy” and a handful of t-shirts as well.

The couple tied the knot in an Alice in Wonderland-inspired ceremony on May 17. They finally confirmed their pregnancy two weeks later after months of speculation.
