Pete Wentz: Fans ‘May Recognize’ Some Black Cards Bandmates

While the bassist won’t reveal full lineup yet, he tells MTV News who isn’t in the band. By James Montgomery Pete Wentz Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Digitas Pete Wentz will be the first one to tell you that no matter what he does from here on out, he’ll always be known as “the dude from Fall Out Boy.” So as he prepares to launch his first post-FOB project — a group he’s calling Black Cards — he’s not shying away from talking about his (former?) band, as well. He knows the comparisons between the two are inevitable. That said, those comparisons are also pretty unfounded. Much like the music being made by fellow FOBs Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley these days, Wentz’s Black Cards is about as far removed from Fall Out Boy as you can get. And yet, he must still answer the questions, about just what his new endeavors (and the endeavors of his bandmates) mean for the future of the band. “We’ve always been friends, so I think everyone is interested in supporting each other’s projects,” Wentz wrote in an email to MTV News. “I really miss touring and seeing the guys everyday onstage. At the same time, I feel like I want to keep traveling and creating new ideas. I think what everyone is doing now will be important to the legacy of Fall Out Boy.” And while words like “legacy” will no doubt make the Fall Out fanatics a little nervous, Wentz knows that — for the time being, at least — he’s got to move forward, meaning he’s primarily focused on assembling his Black Cards band. Last week, he revealed to Rolling Stone the identity of his mysterious frontwoman: Her name is Bebe Rexha. And on Tuesday (July 20), he decided to dispel some rumors about who isn’t in the group, namely former Chiodos frontman Craig Owens, who’s signed to Wentz’s Decaydance label, or Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie. “I can confirm [that] neither Craig& #8212; who has amazing new songs and a new record soon — or Brendon — who is working on Panic! in between beating the sh– out of me at ping-pong — are in the group,” Wentz wrote. “The other guys, some people may recognize, but no one who people will be like, ‘Oh My God, they got that guy???’ As soon as we figure out everyone’s role, we’ll announce them. Expect some news in the next week or so.” So, it looks like we’ll just have to wait for more information. Like we said, he’s got to keep moving forward.

Lindsay Lohan Reports To Court For Jail Transfer

Actress handcuffed in court on Tuesday morning before being taken to detention center. By Gil Kaufman Lindsay Lohan in court on Tuesday Photo: Pool/ Getty Images Following a 10-minute appearance in court on Tuesday (July 20), Lindsay Lohan was handcuffed and taken out of a Beverly Hills courtroom around 8:46 a.m. PT on her way to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence . Amid shouts of “Lindsay, I love you!” from a handful of supporters swarming the entrance to the courthouse, Lohan arrived nearly eight minutes late for the appearance, emerging from a black SUV and quickly walking through the gauntlet of fans, photographers and TV cameras on her way to the courtroom of Judge Marsha Revel. Flanked by attorney Shawn Chapman Holley , Lohan — wearing a black cropped jacket, a sleeveless green top, a black corset, tight jeans, black boots and dark sunglasses — walked quickly through the camera line and was showered by confetti by one admirer. Less than 24 hours after O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro resigned from the case, Lohan was once again represented by Holley, who began the brief court appearance by noting that she had never officially stepped down. The “Mean Girls” actress looked tired and resigned as some procedural matters were discussed. According to MSNBC, Lohan’s estranged father, Michael, shouted out, “I love you Lindsay!” as his daughter was taken away. The judge reminded reporters that there were to be no pictures of Lohan being cuffed or taken to jail. Despite the drama, the actress kept her composure and did not break down. Revel noted that there would be no house arrest, electronic monitoring, work release or furlough for Lohan, though she admitted that even she was not exactly sure of how many days the star would serve in the jail. Though sentenced to 90 days at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, because of severe overcrowding, Lohan is not expected to serve more than 25 percent of her time. That means she could be out in 23 days, at which point she will be transferred to a 90-day inpatient rehab program as part of her sentence. On Monday evening, Lohan sent what could be her final tweet before being locked up: “The only ‘bookings’ that I’m familiar with are Disney films, never thought that I’d be ‘booking’ into jail … eeeks.” People.com , quoting anonymous sources close to the 24-year-old actress, said Lohan had a rough weekend at the Pickford Lofts sober-living facility, where she checked in last week. “It’s been a rough weekend,” the source said. “She has not been able to sleep and has barely been eating. All weekend, Lindsay kept crying, chain smoking and chewing her nails.” Related Photos Lindsay Lohan Goes To Court The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Related Artists Lindsay Lohan
