Wentz told MTV in part, "I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover." Which would make it kind of interesting to find out how Ashlee got knocked up. The gay thing was (a Freudian slip?) what he used as an example of the false reports that you'll read in the tabloids and it's all part of a vast conspiracy underfoot in the tab press. "There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood," Wentz wrote to MTV.
