Ashlee will take Wentz name

Ashlee Simpson will use the name Simpson-Wentz professionally and Wentz privately, she has confirmed.

Ashlee Simpson has confirmed that she's to take her husband's name, kinda. She'll use the name Wentz privately, but professionally, she'll be known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. "I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man", she says. "It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition". I agree, always thought it was important for a woman to allow her identity to be changed for the sake of love. Oh, hang on. No I don't.

Anyway, Wentz says not to blame him, and that the decision to take his name was not anything to do with him. He is quoted as saying: "These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee. I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them. Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I'm saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded! It feels insane. It feels unreal".
