Byline: Oscar Raymundo
As if Pete Wentz--fall out boy bassist, newly married husband of Ashlee Simpson and dad-to-be--weren't busy enough, now he's moonlighting. On Fridays this summer, Wentz, 29, is hosting "FNMTV," a show that aims to take MTV back to its roots as a home to music videos. He spoke to Oscar Raymundo:
Hello?
Hey, you want to know what? I've read NEWSWEEK since I was 12. Which part of the magazine is this for?
Newsmakers.
Oh, everyone always gets hammered in that section.
Apologies in advance. How did you get MTV to play music videos again?
