Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz told The Daily Mail he is convinced someone is going to murder him.  He won’t open his door for fear of being taken down by a crazed gunman.  Pete needs a dose of reality.  Because, as a rule, gunmen often don’t announce their arrival by ringing the doorbell.  Of course, this whole murder concept comes from a dude who also said, “If I didn’t have a baby, I’d have a chimp.”  So, you know, grain of salt.

Other scintillating snippets of Pete’s interview:

  • I never want to hear Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah again-it was playing when I overdosed in 2005.  It’s a hard song for me to listen to now, because it brings the moment back so vividly. It’s become such a popular song that it’s always on at parties these days, and I have to leave the room.
  • While I’ll always be bipolar, I find it easier to deal with now.  I remember being extremely happy at the age of four. I went to visit an aunt in Switzerland and remember feeling ecstatic the entire summer. But now is even better. With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme.
  • My recurring nightmare is finding that Johnny Depp has joined our band.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy’s work. But imagine being in a band with someone who’s a million times better-looking and charming than yourself. I wouldn’t stand a chance. Same goes for Barack Obama. How could I say no if he wanted to join the band? Maybe he could do some dancing at the side of the stage. That would be cool.

    Pete needs to go back to being emo.

  2. Mercy says:

    What the fuck kind of depressing ass party would play “Hallelujah”?

  3. Bean says:

    Whaaa? I think he just talks without thinking most of the time. His interviews always sound so silly!

  4. Melissa says:

    Wow, that guy’s a fucking idiot. Why do all the fucking idiots get famous and rich and shit?

  5. jeneria says:

    When was Fall Out Boy ever cool? I can’t stand their second-rate crap music and Pete Wentz really should go away. You married a C list celebrity in the other Simpson and you make C- music. Why do you rate?

  6. Squeeziee says:

    Can you imagine how dumb his poor child is going to be?
    Although, I did find the Johnny Depp comment kind of endearing… most likely because just the name ‘Johnny Depp’ makes me all warm and fuzzy.
    Take that however you like.

  7. nomen cognomen says:

    He just implicitly called himself the best looking guy in Fall Out Boy.

    By the way, isn’t it so sad for the lead singer of that band that he’s always in the background of pictures and Wentz is in the front. Usually, it’s the other way around. The lead singer gets all the glory and people don’t notice the bassist. Interesting.

    He’s an idiot with a purpose, to be the iconic douchebag of our times.

    I kinda wish a murderer DID knock on his door one day…
    I’m tired of hearing about this hobbit… and his nose-job wife.

    He must be out of his meds

    This is from a Rolling Stone interview with Petey:

    RS: In 2005, you OD’d on Ativan and nearly died while sitting in a car in a Best Buy parking lot. Were you listening to music?

    PW: Not a good experience at all. At the time I was really into Frou Frou, but I was in my sister’s Escort, so I was probably listening to Q101 in Chicago. So it was whatever new-metal band that was big then. Probably Trapt. It was a bum-out.

    • Melissa says:

      I live in Joliet, a suburb of Chicago, and get Q101. The station has steadily fallen into shitville… and all they play is Fall Out Boy and other bullshit bands like them. Homeslice needs to just shove his foot in his mouth and shut the hell up.

  12. Poppanna says:

    Haha, I love this kid xD
    What’s with the hating, guys?

  13. MarySunshine247 says:

    He should go back to Switzerland and overdose on chocolate.

  14. Heatherlyisaverb says:

    mmmm. Jeff Buckley music makes me think of candle lit rainy night sex.

  15. Tracy says:

    He’s just so clueless… I just want to hug him.

  16. Lee says:

    I hate it when Barack Obama tries to horn in on other people’s bands! That has happened to SO MANY of my friends.

  17. why it relevant to Barack Obama?
