Ashlee Simpson sparkled in more ways than one as she exited MTV's TRL studio's in New York City yesterday. The fiery red head notably grinned as she exited the building, fully aware that everyone was out to pap her engagement ring. The photographers made every effort to zoom in on the rock! I think it looks small, but hey this is a woman who had a nose job, I don't think like big things. Pictures by Splash News / Meszler / Asdorian / Eddie / Richie Buxo

Update: Ashlee is not pregnant. Pete Wentz spoke to MTV and denied that Ashlee is pregnant.

There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover. ... I mean really, this is crazy. ... I mean were engaged, that's true, and happy about it.

I too cannot wait for the story about how Pete's in a gay relationship. Ashlee Simpson only confirmed her engagement last week and news breaks today that the pop singer is pregnant! Her sister Jessica is going to be so pissed!

Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, a source confirmed to Usmagazine.com. The singer, 23, is expecting her first child with fiancé Pete Wentz, 28.

You know how in the 70's people were all crazy - sit ins, lots of weed, and free love - well their kids ended up being ultra conservative, power welding filofax huggers instead of tree huggers. So If the prince and his princess of Emo have a kid what will it be like? Us Magazine: EXCLUSIVE: Ashlee Simpson Is Pregnant Picture by Eva Nord

Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us. - Ashlee and Pete"

Ashlee Simpson looked stunning last night as she and her long flowing locks walked hand in hand with her rocker beau Pete Wentz. The couple had been dining at Beso in Los Angeles, and we snapped them as they left with their full bellies. This is first time I have noticed Ashlee's tattoo, and equally, it's the first time I have every thought Pete looked mildly attractive. (God I hope I don't regret that statement).
