Fitting in a little quality family time before work, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were spotted out with baby Bronx Mowgli in New York City on Thursday (January 21).

The happy couple smiled and laughed with one another as Miss Simpson toted her little darling home after a quick run to a health food store.

As pre the usual, Pete was busy sending out tweets the whole way through, writing to his many fans and followers, “going to france tomorrow. not gonna get left home alone.”

Also revealing that he may be partaking in the upcoming New Tor Fashion Week, the Fall Out Boy rocker tells, “hope to be hanging and doing some stuff during fashion week ny with @tristaneaton.”

Meanwhile, Ashlee continues to plug away as Roxie Hart in the Broadway show Chicago, with another performance at 8PM tonight.

Showing his support for the people of Haiti, Pete Wentz attended a candlelight vigil in front of the UN in New York City on Friday night (January 15).

Donning a hat and shades, the “Fall Out Boy” singer respectfully held a candle dedicated to the Haitian community.

Mr Wentz took to his Twitter to encourage others to join in on the ceremony, stating, “5:15 in front of the U.N. NYC candle vigil for Haiti. see you there.”

In other news, the punk singer recently suffered a pinched nerve in his neck after toting little Mowgli Bronx around on his back, but has since recovered and looks to be doing just fine.

PETE Wentz talks about babies, downloading, meeting his idol Dave Grohl, and how a greatest hits album doesn’t mean band implosion…

You’re promoting the Fall Out Boy singles collection Believers Never Die. Do song titles such as Carpal Tunnel of Love and A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More Touch Me make you wince even now?

I look back and thank God I can laugh at myself. There were times when they were so over the top. I can laugh at it in some youthful way. The titles were always relevant to the song or an in-joke with the band. But sometimes it went overboard, especially when they were stupidly long.

You must have had a thrill hearing people on radio have to back-announce your hit I’m Like a Lawyer With the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off?

We did that on purpose. We wanted to give DJs a mouthful. Then our record company came to us and said, “You can’t have all your singles with all these long titles”. So with Thnks Fr Th Mmrs we went cool. We took out all the vowels. Part of us always wanted to be the pirates.

Speaking of, what’s your take on illegal downloading?

Our industry is so stupid about how it treats the consumer. It’s ridiculous. It’s patronising and attacking. The label and publishers were making so much f—ing money. There were some elite bands flying around on 747s. Then Napster came along. At that point the labels could have probably worked out some deal where the pendulum would have swung to the middle. Instead it swung all the way to the other side. I mean, I knew how much CDs cost to make and how much they were charging for them. So now everybody’s scrambling.

Is that why you do your clothing line? Is it more profitable than selling albums?

To be honest, if it came down to it and I had to compromise my values, I’d live in an apartment or whatever. There are certain things I value, certain fights I don’t mind picking and others I let go by. For my clothing line, I’ve had like a million chances to license it out and be like this, whatever, bigger thing that would give me a pile of money. But I feel like I’d lose all control and it’d be like “Pete Wentz presents” or whatever. It’d just be my name. I don’t want it to be like a brand.

Bassists Pete Wentz and Mark Hoppus have teamed up to record a song for Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice In Wonderland movie.

The Fall Out Boy star and Blink-182’s Hoppus have stepped into the studio together for the film’s soundtrack – and Wentz is hoping the collaboration will lead to a future project together.

He tells MTV.com, “We did a song for Alice in Wonderland, (and we) might do a few more depending on when (Mark) goes in with Blink. (It) sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy.

“Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It’s awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody.”

Song of the Year: “My favorite song of the year would probably have to be Jay-Z’s ‘Run This Town.’ I think he came out and said and did everything, and he works harder than [anyone]. That record, he’s the most angry he’s been in a long time.”

Albums of the Year: “I like the Dead Weather’s [Horehound], Them Crooked Vultures’ [self-titled debut], and I like the new Green Day record [21st Century Breakdown] a lot; that’s a band that’s influenced me a lot.”

Artists of the Year: “He’s not really an artist, but I would have to say Obama, and there are many reasons for that. Leader of the free world. I think he’s going to get a lot of the things done that he has promised. And my pick for woman of the year would have to be my wife, otherwise she’d murder me.”
