Pete Wentz “Pops Ambien Like Tropical Skittles”
Pete Wentz is the wife’s-clothes-sharing lead singer of Fall Out Boy, husband to Ashlee Simpson, and daddy to Bronx Mowgli. But apparently a recent wedding, birth of a son, and extreme success of your band doesn’t always equal happiness.
Wentz recently turned up to a breakfast interview at the Beverly Hills Hotel for the upcoming issue Blender Magazine (which hits stands nationwide on Jan. 13) half-an-hour late, reportedly looking worse-for-wear with dark circles around his eyes and a jaundiced-like pale complexion. He told the reporter that he is lucky to get three hours sleep per night and “pops Ambien like Tropical Skittles.”…”I can take three Xanax bars and not feel a thing. It’s kind of scary,” he added.
Wentz was also overheard by another diner discussing his extreme paranoia and his confrontation with an intruder a few nights earlier. We’re told the bassist was in his kitchen when he saw a man in the security monitor scaling the fence, prompting him to run outside. Wentz claimed the intruder then hopped in his car and sped off, smashing the Range Rover on the way.
Hopefully Pete can get healthy and get the rest he needs sooner rather than later. Even superstars need sleep and sanity, buddy!
