Though the gossip world has been buzzing like crazy about the impending birth of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s baby, Pete reports that it’s not time just yet.

The Fall Out Boy bassist was forced to skip the big MTV “Total Finale Live” last night, as Simpson had reportedly gone into labor. And as he phoned into the festivities, Wentz reported that they’re still waiting for little baby Simpson-Wentz to arrive.

He assured fans, “Nothing’s happened yet!” Pete also reported that they still haven’t decided on a baby name.

As for how he and his wife spent their weekend of waiting, Wentz joked, “I went to Chinatown, picked up a bootleg version of Twilight and watched it like, 72, times.”

With a whimsical Winnie the Pooh theme, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz celebrated a baby shower with family and celebrity friends, including sister Jessica Simpson and pal Nicole Richie, who brought daughter Harlow.

“She was glowing and insanely happy,” says a source. Proud-dad-to-be Pete Wentz, 28, even stopped by the Saturday shower at the Hotel Bel Air. “He was so excited too!”

The guests, who also included Simpson-Wentz’s mother Tina and actress Emmy Rossum, dined on home-style food in keeping with the Simpson family’s Southern roots: chicken and mashed potatoes.

Simpson-Wentz, 24, received numerous presents including gift bags from Kitson Kids and a mini Burton snowboard outfit and matching gear.

Pete Wentz says wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is due to give birth any minute.

“She is very pregnant,” the Fall Out Boy bassist told Ryan Seacrest on Thursday. “I am on call permanently right now. She’s at the very end, and it could happen at any point.”

Wentz, who will attempt to break a world record for most radio interviews in 24 hours with band-mate Patrick Stump on Friday, adds that Simpson-Wentz, 24, is “excited” to become a mom.

“She (feels) hot all the time,” says Wentz, 29, joking that the couple’s thermostat is set to 34 degrees. “I think she wants to just be not pregnant anymore. … It’s a struggle to go up and down the stairs. Going out in public is insane.”

“I want to meet (the baby) first,” says Wentz, adding that he has a formula in place for when the time comes. “My friend said it - you’ve gotta have a baby with a name that could be a rock star or a senator, so he’ll get work either way.”

Life wasn’t always quite so picture perfect for Fall Out Boy bassist and soon-to-be-father Pete Wentz.

Despite being a hugely successful rocker married to a sexy pop star, Wentz battled depression for a long time and came close to death twice, he says in a candid interview for Playboy’s October issue.

Wentz, 29, also shared some good news: he and pregnant wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz are fairly certain they’ll be having a boy in November.

Wentz says his drinking and drugs led to dangerous activities. “I pulled a trigger on a gun aimed at myself” during a game of Russian Roulette, he says. “My friend and I did one pull each. We’d been drinking and had taken Ambien.”

Recalling a drug overdose, “I took a handful of Ativan,” he says. “It had more to do with being depressed. I wasn’t thinking of killing myself. I’ve never really called it a suicide attempt. I just wanted my head to be completely turned off.”

Thanksgiving Baby

Wentz says wife Ashlee will give birth to the couple’s first child around Thanksgiving. And while “we know with 90 percent accuracy that it’s a boy,” he says, the couple is still playing the name game - with some help from pals.

“My friend Andrew said, ‘Your kid has to have a name that would fit either a rock star or a senator.’ ”

As for the possibility of having Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo - who is dating Ashlee’s sister, Jessica Simpson - as a brother-in-law, Wentz says, “I like Tony a lot. He’s a rad dude and we’re both into Guns N Roses.”

Pete Wentz is already facing his first daddy dilemma. As a Chicagoan, will his baby with wife Ashlee Simpson root for the Cubs or the White Sox?

“If my dad has anything to say about it, I’m sure he will be a Cubs fan.” the Windy City native told PEOPLE Sunday at the Nike + Human Race at Soldier Field in Chicago. “If my friends have anything to say about it, it will probably be a Sox fan. So, knowing me, it will probably come out a mathematician.”

The Fall Out Boy bassist has definitely been studious in his fact-finding mission about fatherhood. Besides reading books including The Expectant Father, Wentz, 29, said one famous friend in particular has been a wealth of information.

“Joel %26#91;Madden%26#93; gives me advice,” Wentz said of the Good Charlotte rocker, who’s dad to 7-month-old daughter Harlow with girlfriend Nicole Richie. “%26#91;It’s%26#93; been really awesome for me to go to another person my age.”

So, could the song end up on Simpson’s labor playlist? “That’s probably going to be all up to Ashlee - what she picks,” Wentz said. “I couldn’t be like, ‘Oh, you’re going through labor, here’s the music I want you to listen to.’ So, it’s whatever she picks.”

That may include his own vocals. Wentz said he sings to the baby “late at night …. Baby’s gotten a couple lullabies.”

In a recent posting on Simpson’s blog, she joked that while she’s pregnant, her “closet full of size 0’s are being worn by Pete right now and he looks hot in them.”

Ryan Cabrera rarely sees his former flame Ashlee Simpson these days, but he saw enough in their relationship that he doesn’t doubt her parenting ability.

“She’ll be a great mom,” the singer told PEOPLE Friday at the opening of Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Recently Simpson, 23, said she and husband Pete Wentz, 29, have been busy baby-proofing the house and getting a nursery together. None of this surprises Cabrera about the couple.

“It’s a good family. It will be a good home.”

In a recent posting on her blog, Simpson denied the Internet rumor that she cried and went shopping for size 0 jeans after her doctor told her she’d gained too much weight. “1. My doctor says I am right on target with my weight gain. 2. Have not been to Planet Blue in at least two years. 3. Love my maternity jeans … they have stretchy tops it is awesome!” the singer writes.

“Carrying a child is the most inspiring, emotional, amazing experience of my life,” Simpson continues. “My weight and my pant size are the absolute last thing I am concerned about. I am only concerned with having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. People who talk and judge pregnant women’s weight need to get a life!!!”

In Denver at the Democratic National Convention, Fall Out Boy band members are doing double duty: announcing the Nov. 4 release of their third Island album, Folie %26#225; Deux, and playing to a sold-out house Monday for Rock the Vote - aimed at getting youth involved in the political process.

Talking backstage to PEOPLE before their concert, bassist Pete Wentz and singer-guitarist Patrick Stump say they don’t want to preach from the stage, although Stump admits this is a “political record, but it’s never going to say outright ‘Vote for Obama.’ ”

In terms of their own leanings, Wentz, 29, says they are all “liberal democrats from the suburbs of Chicago,” adding that his parents met when they were both working on a Joe Biden campaign.

The two musicians were a bit more forthright on their choice in the VMA race, specifically why they voted for Britney Spears’s video in the MTV competition, to be held Sept. 7.

Supports Britney Spears

Wentz was there when Spears made a promo for the awards show. “I got to meet the elephant %26#91;in the video%26#93;,” he says. “It was awesome. Britney really proves how much the fans really matter, because the fans really want to see Britney win and turn it around.”

Even though the Fall Out Boys plan to attend the VMAs and have won in the past (and even hope to win again), they actually voted for videos oter than their own. “To be honest, I don’t think this is the Fall Out Boys’s year,” says Wentz.

And while he didn’t want to talk about the impending birth of a child with his wife, Ashlee Simpson, Wentz did admit he wants to live somewhere outside of Los Angeles, “because L.A. has become pretty boring to me.”

Ultimately he says, the Wentzes want to end up in Chicago. “But,” Pete insists, “we don’t have plans tomorrow.”

With her budding belly growing each day, Ashlee Simpson gushed to ET Canada about baby prep and marital bliss.

The singer, who confirmed the pregnancy back in May, says she and husband Pete Wentz have been knee-deep in baby-proofing their Hollywood home.

“We’re getting the nursery ready,” said Simpson. “I can’t wait to be a mom and he can’t wait to be a dad, so it’s fun.”

“I have the greatest husband,” she said. “He’s so awesome. It’s fun to have somebody that I love to do this with.”

Other things on their to-do list? Picking a baby name. But Simpson says they haven’t settled on one yet.

After joking about calling their kid “Orange,” Simpson said, “I don’t think it’s something we’ll decide until the baby comes.”

She’s also been writing a few new tunes, but won’t jump back into the studio until her little bundle is born.

“The baby is my main focus right now,” she says. “We’re both so excited. I mean, this is definitely the happiest moment in my life.”

Tuesday’s Caught in the Act >

Having already admitted that he’s turning into his own father in anticipation of the arrival of his and wife Ashlee Simpson’s baby, Pete Wentz tells PEOPLE that when it comes to prepping to become a parent, “I’m reading a lot of books.”

The Fall Out Boy bassist, 28, at his Angels %26 King nightspot in Chicago with Ashlee nearby, explains, “The biggest one is The Expectant Father. It’s a really good one.”

Not that the printed page is teaching him all he needs to know. Jokingly, he adds, “Also, I’ve watched Look Who’s Talking and Look Who’s Talking Too. I’d be worried if the baby sounded like Bruce Willis.”

Having digested that, Wentz says, “I’m just going into taking it one step at a time, and I’m just excited to meet the baby.”

In terms of further preparations, “We’ll baby-proof the house,” he says, “getting the nursery ready.” Regarding its theme, “It’s not a secret, but it’s more of a private thing. I haven’t really figured it out yet, so I don’t want to go out there and say what it is and then have it not be that.”

Nor, when asked if the nursery is pink, will he divulge a color scheme. “Contrary to the stories out there, we don’t know the sex of the baby,” he says. “I’m a person that always likes to be surprised, so I like to wait for the surprise.”

In the meantime, he says, “Ashlee’s a trouper. She’s been really good with this. She’s probably one of the most health conscious, spiritually free pregnant women I’ve even been around.”
