Patrick Stump Saves Us from Pete Wentz Overexposure
Ok, so nothing could really prevent us from Pete Wentz being overexposed in the media–well, nothing short of putting him through Media Whores Anonymous–but Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump is trying damn hard to rescue us by actually going outside and being photographed.
Earlier this week he partook in some karaoke fun at…er… Pete Wentz’s bar/official sad kid event space, Angels and Kings here in NYC for a SPIN-sponsored event. He sang his little fat boy heart out, and as soon as the photos hit the internets, little girls’ hearts ached in unison.
Take my conversation with my buddy R:
R: OMG I DIDNT TELL YOU ABOUT HOW ME AND FATRICK ARE MEANT TO ME
BE. ontd had pics of him doing that karaoke thing at angels & kings and he has the SAME bracelet from the invisible children foundation as me. ZOMG right
ME: hahah
R: he looks hottttttt
ME: he looks so white and pasty and scared
R: AKA MY DREAM BOY. we are meant to be. his pic next to that model….priceless amounts of awkwardness
ME: hahaha
