Wentz ditches rapper's pseudonym for fear of getting shot

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has stopped checking into hotels using rapper Lil' Wayne's nickname because he fears he may get shot.

"I used to stay under Weezy F. Baby, Lil' Wayne's nickname so fans wouldn't know I was staying at the hotel. But then I thought, 'What if somebody shows up and wants to shoot this dude?'" Wentz told US magazine Blender. "I'm now staying under the name Nick Papagiorgio from National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation."

Posted by erin | July 25, 2007 11:26 PM | Reply to this

If he doesn't want fans to know about where he's staying then why the fuck did he tell everyone what name he's goin under? =/

Posted by Risse | July 26, 2007 10:25 PM | Reply to this

Yes, Pete Wentz clearly has dropped off the deep end hasn't he?

This isn't news, maybe when he stubs his fucking toe it'll be on the front cover.
Hell, you never know with Kerrang! these days.

And the whole "get a life" comment is pretty lame too, I mean, all we're doing is pointing out exactly whats wrong with music magazines today. This isn't music news, it's shit news.

And no, it's not good for Pete, I doubt some fucking hoods will come in the middle of the night to his hotel room and "whack" him like in the movies JUST because he copied some lame-ass nickname.

Seriously, what a tube.

Posted by R2K | July 27, 2007 2:41 AM | Reply to this

Whatever!

Yeah so what r2k, its not as iff every band that you come across is going to have problems! Other bands could of had worse news than this. And this news is the best one they could find! In my opinion, i dont think its that much of bad news. And maybe his new name isnt actually his name. Maybe he is tricking us, so if one of us goes to the hotel and look up that name they cant go to his room. And maybe he wanted the news to stir up a bit, so he made it up. Jesus really if you dont like pete wentz then dont post a comment! What exciting news have you got for us then? If i were you i would think about what i'm saying before i open my big mouth. Lay of his back!

shot

i hope he does get shot

Posted by shot | July 27, 2007 11:57 AM | Reply to this

WTF? This is NEWS?!

Pete Wentz is an idiot and an arsehole!

Now, all fans know what name to look for now if they want to try to rape him... And all haters know his pseudonym in case they do want to shoot him.

Wow, he really is an idiot...

okkk thats not random

but y wud any1 try 2 shoot pete they'd probably b attacked by a mob of angry teenage girls in i love pete tops
anyway if ur planin on shootin pete pls dont x

Lay Off Him

Okay I see your point in saying that was stupid for Pete to tell everyone that he changed his undercover name for signing in hotels, but it doesnt mean people have to start insulting pete altogether, if you dont like him then why waste 3 mins of your life typing crap about him - get a life.
There are Pete Wentz fans out there so just leave him and his fans be.
And if Kerrang was Kerrap, why the hell are you on the freaking website???!
Kerrang Rocks! =D

anyone agree?

Posted by AmZy | July 29, 2007 2:01 PM | Reply to this

again

p.s

as much as i luuuuuuv fob i think pete is just being the way he is coz he "found" the band and he wants all the credit...let the other members into the limelight for a while especially patrick coz i think he just gets pushed to the side and forgotten...anyone agree?

however, pete is putting a good name for all the bass players in other bands coz they're known as the extras...

mixed feelings XD

Pete Wentz

People. Please. Stop being pathetic. What's the point in saying soething like 'omg Pete Wentz is like, sooo fit. I am totally gonna marry him.' or w/e. If I may say so myself he is a bit of a poser. Most girls fancy him anyway. He is so dumb giving us his name he usesnow anyway. But maybe that isn't actually it? He might've given it as a false one. Anyway. See yaz

Why Is He The Main Man In The Band?

I Like Fall Out Boy Because They Make Good Music ... (Well Their Old Stuff Anyways)

Whyy Is He The Main Man?
Patrick Is A Much Nicer Guy
Where The Hell Is His Fan Base?

Firstly...
Pete, your too paranoid and your an ugly piece of meat. You butters cunt.
Secondly...
I agree with gemdoesntcare! this is just fucking gossip.
Thirdly...
I'd like to congratulate Pete Wentz for being the DUMBEST person alive by actually reveiling what his new fake name is. BRAVO you dumb ugly fuck, your are such an imbecile man.

are you guys serious??

Guys...COME ON! This is like a constant battle on 'who thinks pete is hot' and 'who thinks he should get shot'. Just give it a rest. If you hate the guy, why are you reading this. And, He's not the stupid one, obviously you are, cause you don't know what HUMOR is... better try next time.

OH! and by the way. He's a freaking celebrity you idiots and happens to be in one of the most famous bands in the 'teenage world', he's not looking for attention. By reading this, you're giving it to him. So, if you're typing 'hate mail' to FOB, or Pete, get a life, cause honesly, if you're writing how "emo" they are, you need one...
