This morning, we got an email from Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, upcoming cover stars of Blender’s February issue. Wentz puts a lot of miles on his Blackberry – we’re assuming he has an unlimited plan, and it wouldn’t be a shock if FOB had to cancel a tour because Wentz came down with a texting repetitive strain injury. Filed Under:
John Mayer, Ryan seacrest, P.diddy, Ashlee simpson, Fall out boy, Pete wentz, joel madden
You can see the email he was sending out, below. For a guy who’s online so much, you would assume that Wentz knows enough email etiquette to hide his cc list, so that nosy people — like, say, Blender — aren’t able to see the names and email addresses in his Blackberry address book. So let’s have a close look and see who is a FOW (Friend of Wentz).
It’s no surprise that the other 224 people copied on the email include Wentz’s mom, in-laws Tina and Joe Simpson, plus wife Ashlee Simpson and Ashlee’s assistant. Pete also sent the email to L.A. Reid, chairman of Island Def Jam, FOB’s label, plus Ryan Seacrest, clothing designer Marc Ecko, a makeup artist, a record producer, a real-estate agent, Hell’s Kitchen runner-up (season three!) Bonnie Muirhead, and various allies at FUSE TV, Sirius satellite radio, MTV, CAA and Jimmy Kimmel Live. There’s a Grammy-podium worth of musician friends: Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, Nick Cannon, Mark Hoppus of blink-182, Chris Cornell, P. Diddy, Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship and Wentz’s besty, John Mayer. The email also went to Wentz’s FOB bandmate Patrick Stump (who uses AOL! OMG!), listed in Wentz’s address book under his birth name, “Patrick Stumph.” There’s also a FOW named David Cook, who may or may not be the American Idol winner and grunge balladeer.
We’ve already spent much of the day going over Wentz’s personal information, including Googling some of his friends. However, it would be highly unethical for us to tell you Ashlee Simpson’s Gmail address. (Hint: It’s not Ashlee.Simpson@gmail.com, or ASimpson@gmail.com, or MrsPeteWentz@gmail.com.) Besides, what have you really got to say to Ryan Seacrest?
Personal to Wentz: Sorry, can’t make it to the art opening tomorrow night. We won’t be in L.A. Double air kiss!
