Ashlee Denies Engagement Rumors

Ashlee Simpson blasts engagement rumors circulating on the Internet. Jessica's younger sister says that she is not getting married yet to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz.

The gossips claim that the couple is engaged after Simpson was seen wearing a ring on her left finger while at Miami's Shore Club celebrating the New Year with her boyfriend.

The singer's rep denies the rumors to usmagazine.com, "Ashlee is not engaged."

The bassist's rep also confirms the denial.

Simpson and Wentz had been seen together since late 2006. Wentz's band had supported Simpson when she became the subject of rumors claiming she was the jinx of the band when they were ignored for the Grammy's. The band's guitarist, Joe Trohman, responded to the "absurd" claims, "We also don't blame a certain someone for our lack of a Grammy nod. That's absolutely f*****g absurd!"
