Pete Wentz: ‘90 Percent’ Sure It’s A Boy!

If any of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s friends are still shopping for baby gifts for the happy couple, it appears blue is the way to go – although keeping the receipt might not be a bad idea, just in case.

In a new interview with Playboy, Pete revealed they are almost certain the baby will be a boy.

“We know with 90 percent accuracy that it’s a boy,” Pete said. “And our due date is around Thanksgiving.”

The news also helps to reaffirm the couple is not expecting twins, as was erroneously reported by various media outlets.

As , a rep for Ashlee told Access the rumors the couple was expecting twins were “not true.”

And now that the sex of the child seems certain, do the parents-to-be have a name picked out?

“We don’t have any names yet,” Pete told Playboy. “My friend Andrew said, ‘Your kid has to have a name that would fit either a rock star or a senator.”

But while the Fall Out Boy rocker beams when he talks about becoming a dad, during his interview with Playboy, he also addressed some very serious issues from his past, including an admission he once played the deadly game of Russian Roulette.

“I pulled a trigger on a gun aimed at myself, yes. My friend and I did one pull each,” Pete revealed. “We’d been drinking and had taken Ambien. I feel stupid even talking about it. It’s one of the reasons I’ve never owned a gun — I’m too impulsive. I’d probably get mad and shoot someone over a part in a song or something.”

Pete also opened up on his battles with depression when he was younger.

“As a kid I always went to therapists; the first time was when my parent were separated on my sixth birthday, then on and off since then. I was diagnosed with ADD — see also: raised on sugary cereals and cartoons — and manic depression,” Pete continued. “I was prescribed Ritalin for the ADD, and for the manic imbalances I was prescribed mostly benzodiazepines, which I loved, and antidepressants. The list of drugs I’ve been prescribed would read like a grocery list, everything from Klonopin to Prozac.”

Before the giant wave of success swept over Pete and his numerous endeavors, Pete also talked about an incident on a flight where he turned to fate.

“Fall Out Boy was on the precipice of this thing that could be giant or could be a flop. I couldn’t micromanage everything in my life anymore. Also, I just thought I wasn’t a good person, so it wouldn’t matter if the plane crashed, because God wouldn’t care,” Pete told Playboy. “I would think, if the plane lands, I’ll become a good person and I’ll never be in a plane crash. And trust me, my belief in God was strictly airline-related [laughs]. It’s a wonder to me that I came out the other side of those years.”
