Ladies, let's not mince words here: Pete Wentz, the ever-spazzy bass player of Fall Out Boy, is a total go-getter. A maker of music! An actor! A fashion designer! A friend of Ashlee Simpson! In addition to being a key member of one of this year’s biggest rock bands, he's cute as the dickens, quick of the wit and has a wildly ah-mazing sense of style. We loved that hooded cape with pet monkey look during his dramatic red carpet walk at the VMA's! We sent this multi-tasking genius five quick questions from fred.

You've got a sweet sense of personal style, rivaled only by Kanye. What do you think the best and worst fashions for the '06 have been?
Ha ha, my fashion sense is literally whichever shirt has the least smelly armpits, not a joke. I felt like '06 was all about clashing and controversial colors for Pete Wentz. Definitely the best fashions were finding old Hypercolor shirts and trying to get ‘em to work still. Also those one-piece PJ's with the feet intact pretty much blow my mind. The worst fashions are still just cargo pants especially when combined with Tevas with socks underneath.

Where do you get yr shop on?
I get my shop on at the merch table of whatever bands we’re on tour with. Sometimes I like going through my closet for clothes from when I was like 11. It’s a good thing that pastels don’t wash me out and that I didn’t grow too much since then.

Our trusty internet gossip blogs say that you power-chill with Ashlee Simpson.
Ha ha ha. Power-chill. You guys should write a book of all of the terms you invent. Ash is cute and nice and everything else I don’t usually associate with myself.

On “One Tree Hill” you got to kiss both Hilary Burton and Sophia Bush… Who was the better kisser? And who would win in a cat fight?
Kissing on TV is weird. It’s like "Get into it... film-film-film…" and then you’re like, "Wait, its over?" Besides I was too nervous about my breath and my kissing style to worry about enjoying it. I’m not sure who would win in a catfight. Chad is a hottie with a body, though.

Will we be seeing more of you in Season 4? FINGERS CROSSED!
I think I may be going right to Broadway after I graduate from Julliard soon… Besides, with my modeling career and euro-jet fashion line, I am kinda booked up. Ha ha! Hopefully, this little hobby of a band I have will take off…
