Celebrity Encounters

There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood's very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: To celebrate the upcoming wedding, reader Sarah is sharing her old-school experience with Pete Wentz.

I went with some friends to see Fall Out Boy at the start of my junior year in high school, which would have been Fall 2003. It was the tour after their first full-length CD came out, I guess. All of us who went thought it was so awesome because there were only like 20 people at the show and the band kept making comments about how excited they were that we all knew the words to their songs. Some people were yelling out the names of songs, and towards the end they even played a couple of them.

When they weren't playing, Pete Wentz was manning their merchandise table and talking to everyone who came to buy their stuff. The talk was mostly about the things they were selling, but he was really friendly and smiley with everyone. He told my boyfriend that he really liked his shirt and that made my boyfriend feel awesome. I know everyone thinks that he's a d-bag, but he was pretty cool at that show and they all seemed to really enjoy playing their music. So even though everyone hates him/the band/whatever, I still think they're kinda cool and I still love their first CD.

[Ed Note: My friend went to IHOP with the band after a concert when they were just starting out and agreed that all the guys were great. Of course, this was before the Simpsons got hold of Pete.]
