While doing some post-Christmas shopping in NYC, Pete Wentz sported a black eye.

"The mean streets of NY got to him," his rep joked to UsMagazine.com.

But a source close to the Fall Out Boy rocker, 30, tells Us he simply fell on the street and insists the bruise "is not as bad as it looks."

He and wife Ashlee Simpson - now playing Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago - seemed to have a more peaceful holiday, spending it with Simpson's family and their 1-year-old son, Bronx, in the Big Apple.

    steve: how do you know this?

    Maybe he helped his wife beat up and kill Vanessa in the pool on Melrose Place! We didn't see him jump in because the camera was on Amanda Woodward walking in! Unless he was caught trashing Jon Gosselin's apartment. (Not too many jokes in one post for you guys, I hope.)

    Funny, I thought it was just his eye make up running! lol!! Or maybe he was getting ready to get into his drag attire and Ashley got jealous b/c he looked better than her so she smacked him with a wet washcloth? Oh the possibilities are endless......

    I suspect ashley...thing are not going well in NY. Her castmates can't stand her (she demands VIP sections away from cast and fans, and forgets her co-stars names, shades of Melrose Place?), The NY press is loudly IGNORING her. Can you imagine a true talent behaving this way? Me neither. Hardly talented Ashley thinks she is the bomb, she will soon find out she is mistaken. I can't wait to see what Joe has up his sleve next for his talentless, classless pigs oops I mean daughters.

    Classic Joe Simpson attention manuever - Pete sux - the Simpson's have ruined him.

    The Simpson family will DO ANYTHING to stay in the tabloids! This is a hoax.Hereâ??s what I think about when I hear the name Simpson â?? â??Sheâ??s not lip syncing â?? she has acid refluxâ??...Twittering that you are so sad to sleep under life saving mosquito netting while children in Africa die because they canâ??t afford such nets...Chasing a magazine cover at all costs...talking trash to minimum wage McDonalds workers...â??she didnâ??t have a nose job, she has a deviated septumâ??...Jessica Simpson Payola â?? (search in your browser) ...claiming that the writers for Melrose Place write â??crapâ?? after letting Ashley go...the other Joe prodigy Lane Garrison and his child killing scandal...those are double Dâ??s you cant hide those suckers...Bam, Wilmer, Nick, Ryan, Tony, Billy, Adam, Josh, Dane, Pete, Greg, John, secret lovers ...crying endlessly that mean ole Tony Romo dumped Jessica the night before her birthday, while forgetting that Jessica dumped Nick the night before Thanksgiving...Claiming that Ashlee was the youngest person ever to be admitted into the prestigious School of American Ballet while admitting later that it was a summer program and you lied about her age...Jessica Simpson sued for 10 million (search in your browser)â?? competing w/Carrie Underwood...all of the lies, divorce, death and destruction brought to you by an â??awe-then-tick, gen-you-whine, bone-a-fide Baptist Youth Preacher Papa Joe Simpson

  • December 28, 2009 - 6:19pm Allison

    Ashlee probably did hit him. She's always been a little "off" and very clingy with men. He's a doll. Wish them well, but she needs to get a grip!

  • December 28, 2009 - 6:02pm Wendy

    You know it's too bad he only fell. I wish someone really would lay a beat down on this d bag. Sigh looks like only in my dreams do Christmas wishes Come true.
