Pete Wentz, Fall Out Boy band member and husband of fellow singer Ashlee Simpson, recently canceled an appearance on Larry King Live due to "breaking news and scheduling conflicts," sparking speculation that Ashlee Simpson is in labor with their first child.

Here's what Pete had to say on his blog on Friday, November 14:

due to breaking news and scheduling conflicts i will not be appearing on larry king live tonight, though i am a big fan of the show and look forward to appearing on it in the future. i also look forward to the chance to continue supporting civil rights and speaking out against the passing of proposition 8 and others like it (im looking at you arizona and florida) whenever and wherever i can.

Wentz updated his blog today with a note about how his house smells like fire, so he is clearly not at the hospital. No word on whether there is any weight behind these rumors, however the timing is right as Ashlee Simpson is due to deliver any time now. Pete reportedly texted his friends with the news that she was in labor:
