There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood’s very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: To celebrate the upcoming wedding, reader Sarah is sharing her old-school experience with Pete Wentz.
I went with some friends to see Fall Out Boy at the start of my junior year in high school, which would have been Fall 2003. It was the tour after their first full-length CD came out, I guess. All of us who went thought it was so awesome because there were only like 20 people at the show and the band kept making comments about how excited they were that we all knew the words to their songs. Some people were yelling out the names of songs, and towards the end they even played a couple of them.
When they weren’t playing, Pete Wentz was manning their merchandise table and talking to everyone who came to buy their stuff. The talk was mostly about the things they were selling, but he was really friendly and smiley with everyone. He told my boyfriend that he really liked his shirt and that made my boyfriend feel awesome. I know everyone thinks that he’s a d-bag, but he was pretty cool at that show and they all seemed to really enjoy playing their music. So even though everyone hates him/the band/whatever, I still think they’re kinda cool and I still love their first CD.
[Ed Note: My friend went to IHOP with the band after a concert when they were just starting out and agreed that all the guys were great. Of course, this was before the Simpsons got hold of Pete.]

It makes me sad that he seems to be a nice guy. I really want to hate him.
It’s okay, Blah. Just because he used to be a nice guy, doesn’t mean he isn’t a douche now. Go ahead with the hate. Anyone who wants to be apart of Papa Joe’s squad, can’t be a good person.
Pete’s got the Chimpson stink on him now.
I can’t put my finger on it but he looks like some disney character that is a donkey or mule that has a severe under bite. Some Disney movie post 2002.
Maria are you thinking of The Emperor’s New Groove??? Cuz that’s totally what I see.
jill! yes! thank you.

hahaha knew it!
Oh, and here I was going to say Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.
Way to spot it jill.
So, I’ve had many….many….many beers so I will just say what I’ve thought for awhile (and got ridiculed harshly for a time or two). I like him, I like him and Ashley together. I like her. And yet I have still made fun of them, but lets face it… thats good times.
There I said it. I feel so cleansed now. Deep breathes.
I apologize for bad spelling.. I just dont give a shit.
Oh, coot. The beer is turning on you.
Ya think?
The beer is so cleansing cooter!!
I’m going to go ahead and say that they are cute too.
I will take on any harsh ridiculism that comes cooter’s and my way. Be forewarned. I’m feeling the hops.
I’ve had some beers myself, and I know your all thinking “wow this is unsusual”. Well, it’s Saturday, and that is sufficient reason.
Thank you qc for your support in this crucial matter. Its times like this that you know who your real friends are. :)
Ok, so they might be okay together (I’ll concede that much) but since they asked wedding guests to wear dark clothes–and I’m sure copious amounts of eyeliner–to an undisclosed location this weekend, I’ll find plenty more reason to hate them. If you think wearing only dark clothes is cool, you’re too immature to be married. Or procreate.
Fall Out boy played in my city sometime in early 2003. My friend and I did not go to see the them and we had no idea who fall out boy was. Pete followed my friend around the club all night and begged her for her number. When she finally caved in, he asked her to go out with him the next night because the the band had a night off. He never called.
