In what appears to be an incredibly lame attempt to promote his band, Pete Wentz wandered around Los Angeles yesterday wearing a porn star anchorman toupee and a matching blond tendril he must’ve snipped off the back and taped to his upper lip. Pete seems to be pulling a very obvious John Mayer stunt: dress up in a costume so the paparazzi will follow you around incessantly! Though if nothing else, by obviously courting the press he at least show’s he’s someone business savvy and recognizes that he needs them.
We caught up with Vlad the Baker, aka Pete Wentz today playing the role of a pastry chef promoting his business. That "business" was Fresh Only Bakery, or F.O.B. for short. (Fall Out Boys, anyone?) Pete was handing out promotional t-shirts from the bakery truck driving up and down Melrose Ave. Later in the afternoon, wifey Ashlee came out to show her support.
[From Fame Pictures]
Um… creative marketing ploy? Blatant fame whoring? Or just incredibly, incredibly stupid? I could argue any of them if I wanted to. Though he sometimes annoys me, at the end of the day I think Pete Wentz is probably a pretty decent guy with a good heart. But he does stuff like this and it makes it really hard not to pick on him. So I’m going to put y bully instincts aside and just giggle at pictures.
Here’s Pete and some other uncredited dude yesterday. Images thanks to Fame.

I think you're right, Syko, I think he just does things he knows are stupid but fun. He looks ridiculously funny, too!

I think he/FOB are lame, but I wouldn't make fun of one of my favorite bands or call them fame whores if they did something similar. I'd be stoked at the prospect or scoring free loot and meeting the band member in person, especially in a funny outfit. So, I have no room to talk. Go, Pete!

I think he's cute, kind of, but not hot.
More power to him for being dorky. I'm all about it. The other night at work, I put my hair in a side ponytail, jacked my pants up and tight-rolled the cuffs. I walked around like that for an hour or so, just to make people laugh.
Dorks rule!

Part of me wants to laugh no never mind, I think ALL of me wants to laugh. I'm tempted to make a snarky comment about his get up, but he seems to have a sense of humor and may not be as full of himself as I thought, so I'll give him a pass. Love a guy with a sense of humor! But the funniest part of all this? What would Papa Joe say?

It must really piss off the rest of the band that the BASS player is the only one who ever gets any press and is recognised in the street. Rest assured his 15 mins will be up soon. The Simpson connection is the only reason any of their records sell at all. I couldnt even tell you the name of one of their songs.

ok, i give this dude some credit. but only a buck o' five worth because he should have splurged and gotten the blond sideburns too. i guess that beside wearing ashley's pants he also barrows her boots.
