Yes indeedy. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz now has a growing belly to match her growing name. In a statement released today at the website friendsorenemies.com, the couple said "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

So the is Pete Wentz, who denied Ashlee was pregnant a few weeks ago, a liar-liar-pants on fire? From MTV.com :

"Every woman, no matter who they are or what they do for a living, has the right to wait at least 3 months before sharing this very personal news," he wrote. "We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple.

"Being a boy I have no idea how to respond to such things and my first instinct was to protect her and the baby.

"It’s insane that you can’t let happy news brew in Hollywood. This wasn’t about press or anything. It was about the health of the baby and trying to find a way to be happy with what should be the most happy time of our lives in the middle of a press blitz. I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend."

That’s right girls, Gorgeous George Clooney and what’sername have split. We’re working on getting you more details, meanwhile, here’s the roundup…oh and George…call me.

• PopCrunch says it was difficult for George to breakup because Sarah is so sweet.
• According to the Celebrity Smack blog, George temporarily moved out of his house so she could pack her things. Bet she’s having a good cry. If I was her, I’d take a few souvenirs too. The same blog is saying George is relieved to be single.
• I’m Not Obsessed says George and Sarah didn’t have anything in common. Well hell, I could have told him that from the very beginning and saved him all the trouble.
• Perez Hilton has a comment from a rep who won’t comment.

Really, George, call me.I can ditch the dead weight…

So I was looking for today’s top story and this appears to be it. Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are engaged and we’re ever so happy about it.

Here’s the roundup:

• Pop Crunch doesn’t have much in the way of details, but they do have rep confirmation.
• People.com says pretty much the same thing but in a more long winded way. Oh and look, their friends are giving their blessing. Can you say wedding of the year?
• A jealous Perez Hlton writes up the same lame rep quote…which means there are absolutely no new details, no ring pictures and no quotes except regarding how thrilled they are. If you ask me, it would be news if they weren’t thrilled. I mean really, with the exception of maybe Katie Holmes, wouldn’t be thrilled upon getting engaged?
• Gawker sounds a little skeptical of a long-lasting union.
• The Associated Press gives us two lame paragraphs telling us nothing we don’t already know.
• iVillage throws in a line or two about Ryan’s latest movie as filler.
