Man Candy: Pete Wentz

We all love a bit of bad-boy eye-candy, and from his heavily 'guy-lined' eyes right down to his skinny butt-hugging jeans, Pete Wentz is so the hottest flavour right now.

Fall Out Boy's bassist extraordinaire was born on June 5, 1979, sounding just a bit posh - his full name is Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III. He grew up in Wilmette, Ilinois, in the US, and was an all-state soccer player at school.

After finishing high school, Pete managed to make it through almost an entire college degree in Political Science, before dropping out in his final semester to focus on music. Crazy choice- but after the recent massive success of Fall Out Boy, probably the right one!

Pete's focus on his music hasn't stopped him from showing off his other talents, though (and no, we're not talking about those pictures). On top of writing most of the lyrics for Fall Out Boy, Pete has also published a book called The Boy With The Thorn In His Side. It's a story based on nightmares that Pete had when he was younger - scary!

Pete is also a businessman, too. He set up his own company, Clandestine Industries, to distribute his book, and now uses the brand to sell clothes and accessories as well. He can often be seen wearing the designs himself, which are based on his own personal style and "thoughts". Pete's also spreading the love of his trademark 'guyliner' (translation: eyeliner that doesn't make guys feel wussy). Click out his tips on applying it below!

In his 'spare' time, Pete has also managed to release a signature bass guitar, create his own production company, Bartskull Films, and starred in its DVD Release the Bats, and to top it all off he recently opened up a nightclub, Angels & Kings, with some friends in New York. Whew!

Of course, with his increasing celebrity, it was only a matter of time before Pete got his very own doll, too. Fans of Fall Out Boy can now collect the whole band of action figures. But what does Pete have to say about it all?

"Watch out Ken. Barbie's got a new boyfriend."
