Nothing but the best for The Bronx.

Douche Doting dad Pete Wentz recently plopped down $8,000 (plus $500 for shipping) on a vintage 1930s train set for his six-month-old son Bronx – too bad the thing is a choking hazard!

Family friends say despite doing lots of research before selecting the special gift for his boy, the brainiac bassist forgot that the set’s small lights and tiny minature stations could be a death trap for a small child.

“Pete spent weeks finding the right set,” a Star Magazine source spills. “The only problem is that there are choking hazards because the pieces are so small,” the spy adds. “For now, it will have to be boxed away in the attic.”

Making good use of their time in New York City, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz split up yesterday to tend to their own affairs.

The Fall Out Boy rocker opted for some father-son bonding and took Bronx Mowgli out for a walk in his stroller as the paparazzi looked on.

And of course, Pete donned his typical urban hip vibe with a black FC zip-up hoodie teamed with a pair of black jeans and a newsboy cap.

Meanwhile, Ashlee was also out on the Manhattan streets, toting around a large Coco Chanel handbag along with a white top, blue skirt, and black stockings.

Some people slammed her for being curvy…

Others said she looked great.

Now Jessica Simpson herself has spoken out for the first time since her newly voluptuous figure caused huge waves across the world of showbiz.

Addressing crowds during a concert in Charlottesville, Virginia, Jessica, dressed in a pair of tight, leather pants (see gallery below), said:

“Thank you for your support. Stay positive, and pray out loud.

“Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder, so just appreciate.”

In a veiled reference to the storm of controversy over her figure, Jess continued:

“I feel like in our world today we focus on so many things that are completely pointless.”

Meanwhile, Pete Wentz has jumped to the defence of his sister-in-law in the great weight debate.

“I think that the media puts too harsh of a spotlight on women in general, and I think it’s a bummer,” he told reporters from Us magazine. “Real beauty is on the inside, man.”

Great, Pete, a bummer, huh? That’ll be a true comfort to Jess when she’s agonising over the reaction to her new look.
