Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has become the face of US discount supermarket Wal-Mart's new summer fashion brand Op.
The four stringer is joined in the campaign by young Hollywood stars Rumer Willis, Kristin Cavallari, Christina Milian, Josie Maran, Corbin Bleu and Wilmer Valderrama.
"Everyone can wear Op and its cool," says wentz. "Fashion should make you comfortable and that is what Op does."
A spokesperson for Wal-Mart's UK operation was unable to comment whether or not the chain would be rolling out the Op brand in it's Adas stores.
In any case, you can watch the TV advert for Op, featuring Wentzy, below:

celebrity endorsements really fucking piss me off. like this bloke needs the extra millions they will have paid him. i myself work for walmart or asda as its called over here and i slave my bollocks off and work hard just to earn a crust through the night and here comes this cunt and earns more for like a 30 second advert than i will in a year, when its people like me that keep the bastard store running in the first place.
it makes me so fucking livid.

For once, I agree with every word you said.
No more celebrity endorsements, and no more of these pointless 'news' about Wentz, please.

Lol, that advert was stupid and made no sense. It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer and Mel Gibson make a film together, and Homer makes the intro to the film twice as fast as the rest of the film for no reason. All they need now to compliment that advert is a shifty eyed dog who no one will suspect.......

It's like the Reece Witherspoon one for Avon. Are we really supposed to believe they use this shit?

They are a right bunch of fuckers with questionable labour tactics and their own form of censorship, they won't stock this game or that CD.
I refuse to buy anything from their stores, unfortunately most people couldn't care less, as long as it's cheap.....

Well, I like Fall Out Boy and everything, but Pete-up-his-own-arse-Wentz annoys the shit out of me.
I mean, seriously - what. is. the. point.
As if he doesn't have enough money already anyway. Or if he had nothing to do he could go and do something WITH THE REST OF THE BAND for a change.
I never thought he could stoop any lower, but he has officially out-pricked himself.
Boo to you, 'Wentzy'.

lol
ive said this so many times, so im just gonna give a summary:
fall out boy = good
patrick, andy and joe = good
pete = retard.
at this point i think i have grounds for murder. jk...i think.
Everyone can wear Op and its cool," says wentz. "Fashion should make you comfortable and that is what Op does."
Everyone can wear it eh?
I look forward to Pete Wentz wearing it other than in that ad.
Sell-out wannabe emo freak.

FOB are okay but i agree with Fryman...they should just get rid of pete....all he is, is the so called "good-looking" one...ARE PEOPLE BLIND???
HE IS A MASSIVE SELLOUT/MEDIA WHORE...the day i see him wearing this stuff, other than in this advert, is the day i will say he is good looking (AKA NEVER)
Also the advert is tacky....
Posted by GRRRR.... | April 24, 2008 6:21 PM | Reply to this
What a sell out.
He's alongside that guy from HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL in that advert, for God's sake.
I guess you sort of have to do some of this stuff when you get so famous, but do you really think he's doing it because he likes the clothes...?
This isn't even anything to do with Fall Out Boy, either. >=[ Why is it even on this website? Do we HONESTLY care who he's modelling for?!
haha. oh well. get over it. everyone knows by now that he's so far up his own ass that he can no longer see the day light. so it dont matter.
get over it (:

Surely it isn't actually about music, just because the person it is about happens to be a musician it doesn't make it about music.
Oh and I can officially say that is the only time an advert has made me want to break my computer screen just so it will end. CHEESEY SHIT!

You know what, fuck that. I want a daily update on the regression of the lead singers hairline. Dispatch someone with a camera and a ruler immediately!

If you hate Pete so much why not just ignore him? People moan about how much they hate him but really why? He's got a big ego? I'm pretty sure theres other celebritys modeling out there for all sorts of stuff.
You don't know him. He could be the nicest guy on earth or he could be a complete twat.
Your the one wasting your time on him by moaning. If you don't like him fine, just stop complaining about how big his ego is. There people who are worse than Pete.
Posted by Hannah | April 25, 2008 3:24 PM | Reply to this
use "real news"
maybe people who say that are just so stuck up their ass to realise the truth? Kerrang is updated daily and for them to do that not all the news is gonna be big!
if you dont like pete wentz then why do you go to read the article on him - coz ur fuckin sad!

this is why the music industry is going downhill

omg.
what
the
hell.
he's bringing out an eyeliner too:
“Fall Out Boy has always been known for its pop hooks and good looks, and like David Bowie before me, I am known for my displays of cosmetic derring-do. For too long, I’ve been keeping my eyeliner know-how to myself. Now, with the debut of WentzPentz, guys — and girls — everywhere will be able to have a piece of the Fall Out Boy lifestyle.”
what next pete wentz? your own sofa's? cereal? and omg can his ego get any bigger?
argh whats happening to rock music [i dont even think you could class fob as that]
Posted by ciar | April 26, 2008 10:40 PM | Reply to this
O_o
he did NOT compare himself to David Bowie?
Someone slap him..
XD at ciar's comment, pete wentz brining out his own sofa's. god, the worlds coming to an end lmao, i actually didn't spend my money on K! this week [apart from the fact i couldn't afford it XD] i seriously didn't want to have pete wentz face sitting in my room waiting to be read lmao, it's terrible...
can't we have like more iron maiden or something? PLEASE K! and if your going to talk about FOB atleast include the rest of the guys, you know, the one's that make the band worth listening too!

OK, so
I've just posted a big ranting comment on the K! myspace page about all of this stuff.
I agree with the last two people who commented.
1) An interview with Patrick
1a) OR an interview with the WHOLE band.
2) A lovely Patrick cover.
3) Oh, and the biggest poster of Patrick.. well.. ever (: would be nice (y)
Pssh. I LIKE Fall Out Boy and even I'm getting tired of all the useless posts about Wentz.
Note to Kerrang: IT'S A FOUR-PIECE BAND.

Well done Kerrang, yet again filling your website with aboslutely worthless news that doesn't matter.
Thought you were meant to be a mteal magazine, yet time after time you continue to peddle shit like this.
No wonder your a luaghing stock amongst proper music fans.
Posted by rich | April 27, 2008 7:46 PM | Reply to this
Oh god..
Why bother putting stupid new's like this on this website?.
I'm sorry but Pete Wentz need's a reality check.
He is so annoying, he's always in kerrang and it's getting silly. Who cares that he's modeld for Walmart?.
He's obknockcious.
meaningless to say he can't play bass :|. Fall out boy have the easiest bass riff's going and I know.. I'm a bassist.
Seriously I'm fed up with Fall Out Boy. And pete wentz. In my opinion they all need a reality check , and someone please give me a gun to shoot pete wentz please!

he rele pisses me off sumtimes!!
FOB: some songs okay some rele rele bad only coz pete wentz is an ARSE!!!
ok, kerrang, arent you a magazine focusing on BANDS and the MUSIC they make? THIS ISNT ABOUT EITHER. do you honestly think that everyone is interested in what pete wentz does every fucking day? furthermore, this only shows how completely up his own arse he is.
next time post stuff about MUSIC or not at all. if the people buying this magazine wanted "ahhh pete wentz is so hawt lets worship him and bask in his incredible hawtness"-like crap, then they'd go for the nearest Sugar mag.
peace out x

Is there NOTHING that this guy will stop at to gain fame? For fuck's sake, he's part of a band, engaged to Ashlee Simpson, exposed himself on the 'net, poses half-naked anyway after he writes a song about said exposure.
I mean, COME ON!
I hope one of these days, someone bursts his bubble, puts him in place and deflates his gigantic head.

I love fall out boy, and yes Pete Wentz is a bit of a media whore. But he's focusing on what he loves doing, while you all sit on the computer saying how much you hate him. Go and get a hobby damn you all!
Also i'm very disappointed andymark hasn't made a bitchy comment on here yet :O they always amuse me!
