Newly-married Pete Wentz has made a shocking confession – he's snogged guys! The 29-year-old, who will soon become a dad to his and wife Ashlee Simpson's first baby, told a magazine that he smooched a boy when he was 16 or 17, saying it was "probably for a dare". Pete went on to admit that he experimented with guys again when he was 18, and that his last boy-on-boy snog was when he was about 22. Speaking honestly he said, "When I said that I make out with dudes, there was a slight sense of sexual rebellion in that, but I’ve always felt this relentless heterosexual drive." The Fall Out Boy bassist also admitted to having a little crush on John Mayer (whatever will Jennifer Aniston say?) and thinks that gay marriage will soon become accepted the world over. He then went on to rubbish claims that his alleged bisexuality had angered Ashlee Simpson's dad, laughing, "It was such b******t, that Joe [Simpson] even joked about it." Isn't it nice to hear a celeb being so open and honest? We think Ashlee and Pete are one of showbiz's cutest couples.
