Pete and Ashlee are gearing up for their wedding this weekend [1], and the groom-to-be had some male support at a low-key bachelor party [2] at Mr. Chow last night. The guest list was small, but included Joel Madden, his future father-in-law Joe Simpson, and his own dad. That's just the beginning of the wedding gossip, though, and here's the rundown of what else we're hearing:

[2]

• It's a good thing Pete knows what he's getting into with Joe, since Papa Simpson's constant involvement and unsolicited advice is supposedly part of the reason Tony dumped Jessica [3].
• Pete and Ash have been shopping around the photos [4] of the upcoming ceremony and supposedly People [5] snagged the rights for more than a million.
• The wedding will supposedly take place in Ashlee's parents' backyard in Encino.
• The couple has asked their guests to wear dark attire and not to be overdressed. [6]
• Joe Simpson is begging Tony Romo [7] to be Jessica's date for the wedding, even though the couple have called it quits [8].

With the wedding coming up tomorrow, we can expect many more details to be leaked over the next few days, so stay tuned for all things Simpson/Wentz family and wedding [9] related.
