Are even ridiculously named celebrity offspring feeling the effects of the tanking economy? The New York Post claims Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz haven't exactly touched off a bidding war for the first snaps of 3-week-old son Bronx Mowgli.
"Pete and Ashlee have approached every single celebrity magazine with offers to sell their first photos, but nobody wants them," a source snipes to the paper. "Covers of them tend not to sell well." Wentz, however, adamantly denies the report, saying they've made a decision to keep Bronx under wraps for now.
"Truth is, like every celeb couple, we were offered mounds and mounds of money by mags from here to Guam to pimp out the baby," Wentz wrote Thursday on his Web site. "We just don't want to go down that road with him."
But the Fall Out Boy bassist makes it clear that he's not dissing the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who have negotiated big money deals for their tot shots. "We are not placing judgment on those that do as they often use the money in a very charitable way," Pete explains.
"However, we have made the decision to not sell Bronx's baby pictures right now." The new dad says he and Ashlee "understand the curiosity, just not the viciousness that comes along with it when it becomes so insatiable. We know there will be a time when we'll share him with everyone because that insatiable curiosity becomes unsafe or simply because we're proud parents who want to show him off!"
Adds a proud Wentz, "Trust me, he's cute. He looks like his mommy."
*Whatever.*
