Pete Wentz’ Tweets Speak End For Fall Out Boy? Or Just Drunken Night Foolishness?
While the official line is still that Fall Out Boy are “on a break” or “decompressing,” Pete Wentz may have just confirmed what many FOB fans feared: The band is over, or at the very least, he’s done with them.
It all started late Monday night, when Wentz began an impromptu Q&A session with FOB fans on his Twitteraccount. Within minutes, he started speaking openly about the band’s status, telling one fan, “Don’t you get it? A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don’t plan on either.”
Then, when asked about his future with FOB, he dropped a bomb. “I can’t imagine playing in FOB again,” he wrote. “Something would have to change in my head or my heart … not my wallet.”
Wentz was then asked what made him change his mind about the band, to which he replied, “I didn’t want you to hang on a string. [At the] same time, if it happens, [I] don’t want to feel like a liar. [The band] might happen without me. Oh, well.”
He wouldn’t get into specifics, but Wentz seemed more than willing to take the blame for Fall Out Boy’s apparent breakup. “Attack me,” he tweeted. “I am one of you, only with a Kevlar [vest] and an alligator shell. Blame it all on me, ’cause I can take it. If you only knew how I felt.”
Wentz also posted a rather cryptic statement on his blog, which hinted that he had simply lost interest in Fall Out Boy and was actively searching for a new project to re-energize himself.
“Every day for the past seven years of my life I woke up with a purpose,” he wrote. “I felt driven. My eyelids forced awake. This was all that kept me going. When I lost that, I lost part of me. … That’s not to say count me out. I’m gonna jump back in. I just know that I have to be patient and wait for the right idea. I can’t just jump the gun and do whatever. Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard, but I am convinced I will find something new that sparks me in a similar way. This is not a vacation. But I want to be back on tour, having my son watch me from the side of stage, and that will happen … when I find the right magnet.”
He then signed off with a Latin phrase, “Acta est fibula,” which translates loosely to, “The play is over.”
A few hours later, Wentz posted a second statement on his blog, perhaps in an effort to clear up all the confusion about the band and his status in it.
“I don’t know the future of Fall Out Boy. It’s embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. As far as I know Fall Out Boy is on break (no one wants to say the ‘H’ word,)” Wentz wrote. “As much as I don’t have a solo project, I also can’t predict that I’d ever play in Fall Out Boy again, not due to personal relationships as much as [that as] a band we grew apart.
“In this statement I’d like to include there is the possibility that FOB will play again without me, or I will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. It is no one’s fault, and there is no animosity about the decision,” the statement continued. “I felt as fans, you deserve to know. There is no singular reason for this. The side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. I am the single biggest fan of FOB and if this is our legacy, then so be it. I am proud of it.”
It’s not clear if the other members of Fall Out Boy were aware of Wentz’s statements, though drummer Andy Hurley wrote on his Twitter account, “Nothing is official. I have no idea what’s going to happen. That’s the most direct answer I can give.”
MTV News’ e-mails to the members of Fall Out Boy, their label, Island Records, and their management team went unanswered by press time.

Travis Barker Now Speaks On Blink-182 CD
Travis Barker has heard what both of his Blink-182 bandmates have had to say about the status of the group’s much-anticipated new album … that it would be coming out in 2011 or, alternatively, that it would be coming out much sooner. And now, he’s wading into the fray.
When MTV News caught up with Barker backstage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday — minutes after herocked the stage with Lil Wayne, Eminem and Drake — we asked him for an update on Blink’s follow-up to their self-titled 2003 effort. And, from the sound of things, it’s gonna be a long year for Blink fans.
“We’re about to start working on it. I’m gonna try to wrap up my album and, uh, Tom has his band, he’s wrapping up that album, and then we’ll start working on a Blink record,” Barker said. “We go to Europe in August for all the festivals … we do, like, six weeks out there, and then our album will come out probably early next year.”
A spokesperson for Blink-182’s label Interscope did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment at press time.
So while the band seems to be following bassist Mark Hoppus’ plan of “just getting back in the studio and do what we do,” the fruits of that plan might not be heard for a while. But Barker maintains that a new Blink record is still very much the top priority for all three men, especially after they passed their first test — a high-profile reunion tour — with flying colors.
“This summer was the test, and we got out there, and it was the best time I’ve had playing with those two dudes in my life,” Barker said. “It felt even better than old times, so I can’t wait to do an album together again

Drake, Eminem ‘Talking About’ Another Collaboration
It looks like the planned March release forDrake’s hotly anticipated official debut LP,Thank Me Later, may not happen. It’s already February and the 23-year old said he’s still recording his opus.
“Not yet,” Drake said Sunday night at the red carpet of the Grammy Awards, when asked if he was done recording. “I got a couple more things.”
One of those things has the potential to be a blockbuster: Drizzy and Eminem may have a follow-up to “Forever,” which the pair performed with Lil Wayne and drummer Travis Barker at the Grammys.
“Me and Em talked about something today,” Drake revealed. “We might need that to happen.”
As for the official first single from the album, the Young Money franchise player is ruminating on it.
“I’m gonna figure that out this week and it should be coming in a week or two,” he said. “It’s all coming soon. I won’t take too long.”
Besides performing “Forever” with Slim Shady and Lil Wayne, Drake was nominated for two Grammys, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance, both for “Best I Ever Had.” (He lost out to Jay-Z in both categories.)
“That song is a real honest song,” he said. “It connected with a lot of women — my moms likes it. For it to be Grammy-nominated is an honor, man. It’s always good when the words in your music are something that you live by and you get to hear it every day on the radio and you’re not ashamed of it.
“It’s all moments I need to cherish and observe,” he said, summing up the evening.
