Ashlee Simpson And Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz Are Engaged
Move over, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, there's another happy couple to congratulate — Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are engaged to be married, the singer's rep confirmed to MTV News.
Just a month ago, Simpson was trying to laugh off rumors that she was engaged and/or pregnant, when she released a statement denying that she had been drunk during a radio interview, as had been speculated. "Questions and false rumors about my dad being a jerk, being pregnant, being engaged, etc., are not fun to answer every single day," she said at the time. "Eventually I try to just laugh them off."
But now the rumors have come true, and Simpson is more than happy to confirm the news. "We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I," she wrote with Wentz in a joint statement, posted late Wednesday on FriendsorEnemies.com. "Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged."
Simpson, 23, and Wentz, 28, said they wanted their fans to be the first to know. "We wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us," they wrote.
Don't expect a lot of details, though, since they also wrote, "We consider this to be a very private matter." Though some reports have placed the site of the proposal in Colorado, a source close to the situation told MTV News that "Pete did not propose in Colorado," nor did he give her a ring there. Wentz previously gave Simpson a diamond promise ring at Christmas.
The couple have been together since late 2006, though they didn't go public until several months into their relationship. Prior to dating Wentz, Simpson told Teen People in May 2006: "Marriage is definitely not on my mind. There's a lot of growing up you do in your 20s, and I definitely want to wait until my late 20s or 30s or whenever the time is right." But more recently, she had started joking that between her and her sister Jessica, she would be the more likely one to get married.
"Thank you for all your support and well wishes," Simpson and Wentz said in the statement. "It means the world to us."

Fielder-Civil pleads guilty
The husband of singer Amy Winehouse has admitted assaulting a barman and attempting to cover it up.
Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, is being tried in London on charges of attacking pub landlord James King, and then conspiring together to have King to withdraw as a witness at the trial.
Fielder-Civil and three co-defendants pleaded guilty last week but a court order delayed reporting the pleas because King is scheduled to face a separate trial. Winehouse was at London�s Snaresbrook Crown Court last week for the opening arguments in her husband�s trial. Fielder-Civil faces a maximum of five years in prison for the assault charge. Perverting the course of justice carries a maximum sentence of life, though that is unlikely to be imposed in this case.

Vulture's Open Letter to Katherine Heigl

New York magazine TV writer Emma Rosenblum has, in her words, "surprisingly strong feelings" about the recent Katherine Heigl Emmy brouhaha. We offered her space to give Heigl a little bit of career advice.
Dear Katherine (Kate? Katie?),
So you’ve acted out once again (no pun intended!). You’ve withdrawn your name from Emmy eligibility, because, in your words, ''I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination.'' And now you’ve started a fight with the writers of Grey’s Anatomy. Their feelings are hurt, Katie: "It's an ungrateful slap in the face," one show insider told EW. You actually won the Emmy for supporting actress last year, which was really so lovely for you. So why, this year, are you so sure your material doesn’t even warrant a nomination? Let’s think.
Okay, Heigl, we agree that Izzie’s story lines have become increasingly marginal and unbelievable. Lately, everyone on the show seems to think that Izzie’s completely irritating. So do we! We actually groan aloud when your perky face appears onscreen! There’s a theory we have about this, Katherine, so listen closely. Have you ever thought that maybe the writers are incorporating your own personality into that of your character? Because we read a lot of women’s magazine and gossip sites, and we think we kind of know you at this point. And guess what? You’re totally annoying and self-righteous, just like Izzie!
Of course, we, too, were offended by Isaiah Washington. He called your on- and-off-screen best friend, T.R. Night, a faggot, and that’s just uncalled for. You established yourself as Night’s defender and kept speaking to the press about how Washington should be fired. So we guess that’s nice of you and all, but you really should have let your friend fight his own battle. You ended up looking pretty darn priggish.
And then (and then!) you called your own hit movie, Knocked Up, “a little sexist.” You have a right to your opinion, and we might even agree with you. But you were Apatow’s first choice for that movie, you did it, you made lots of money, and it made you a certified movie star. What possessed you to bash it? Do you think you’re above the work that you do? It was a comedy, and you profited tremendously. You’re no Streep, honey, and even she does Abba with a smile.
Now we’re going to throw you a bone: We think you’re a talented comedic actress. That’s right, your timing is much better than most, and you have a goofy onscreen persona that combines nicely with your California-girl looks. Plus, My Father the Hero was one of our favorite movies growing up, so we’ll always have a soft spot for you, Heig-y. Though last week, in a dark moment, we watched 27 Dresses on demand. Now that was a case of writers messing up your material.
So please take our advice. Grey’s Anatomy is a soap opera. Get off your high horse, missy. You talk all about the integrity of the Academy? Ha! You know they’re giving an Emmy to a reality-TV show host this year, right? Stop pissing off your writers and directors and castmates. We want to like you, Katherine, really. Please stop making it so hard to do so.
Warmest regards,
Emma Rosenblum

Amy Gets Bullet From Bond
It looks like Amy Winehouse has lost out on one of the most prestigious gigs in music to her fellow Brit Leona Lewis.
Amy, 24, was all set to follow in the footsteps of� Paul McCartney, Shirley Bassey and Madonna by becoming one of the select few to record a Bond theme tune.
But movie bosses decided to ditch the troubled star after studio sessions with producer Mark Ronson last month came up with nothing, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
�I�m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet,� Mark is reported to have said at the time.
Now Leona, 23, whose debut single and album have gone to Number One on both sides of the Atlantic, looks likely to cut the theme for Quantum of Solace, starring Daniel Craig.
�It looks like Leona has finally won the race," a source told the paper.
�She is seen as one of the few candidates who has the right profile both sides of the pond to do it.
�Amy was their original choice but she just can�t get her act together and hasn�t got the right image."�

New York Station Claims Most Viewers In U.S.
WABC-TV, ABC's flagship outlet in New York, boasted Thursday that it now attracts more viewers than any other television station in the country. Despite the fact that Fox won the May sweeps nationally and CBS came in second, the ABC-owned station said that its overall ratings were 50 percent greater than its nearest competitor. And while NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams continues to edge out ABC World News With Charles Gibson in the national ratings, the Gibson newscast in New York garners more viewers than Williams's and the CBS Evening New With Katie Couric combined.
