Pete and Ashlee Celebrate at Rehearsal Dinner Celebrity News

The night after celebrating their bachelor and bachelorette parties, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson kicked off their wedding weekend with a traditional rehearsal dinner.

The intimate party was hosted by Wentz’s father Pete and mother Dale, who traveled to Los Angeles from their home in Chicago earlier this week. It was held at the Beverly Hills home of Jessica Simpson, who will be Ashlee’s maid of honor.

The Wentz and Simpson clans celebrated on Friday night with a small group of friends and family at the indoor-outdoor affair, which featured candles on white tables and twinkling lights in the trees.

A source close to Jessica, who hosted Ashlee’s lingerie-themed bachelorette party on Thursday night, tells people that boyfriend Tony Romo will attend the wedding with Jessica this weekend.

Rihanna: Chris and I Are Very Good Friends Celebrity Gossip

Rihanna is usually mum about her relationship with Chris Brown, but during a recent radio interview the songstress coyly hinted at her connection with the “Take You Down” singer.

When asked directly how her relationship with Brown, 19, is going during a recent visit to New York’s Power 105.1’s The Ed Lover Show, Rihanna, 20, replied: “We are great actually. We have been friends for three years now.”

Not satisfied with the friendship remark, Lover further pressed Rihanna who is touring with Kanye West, on the topic. “Friends? But there are pictures of you kissy kiss,” he said, which prompted Rihanna to respond: “We are very good friends.”

Lover then asked the Barbados-born chanteuse about photos of the two songbirds canoodling in a pool in Jamaica earlier this year. Trying to deflect the questions, Rihanna was at a loss for words when she started “fiddling with the cord and blushing,” said Lover’s producer, Lady O, who described the singer’s behavior while on air.

The pair, who recently spent time together in New York City, have made headlines with their intimate European and Caribbean outings. But Rihanna understands privacy is hard to come by.

“People always want to know what it is and what it isn’t. People think they know. They try to guess,” Rihanna said. “Sometimes you just need your privacy. But it comes with the territory. There’s no privacy when you are out in the public.”
