ASHLEE SIMPSON AND ROMANTIC WENTZ

Ashlee Simpson And Pete Wentz

Ashlee Simpson and husband Pete Wentz are dismissing gossip reports of marital problems at the MTV Australia Awards in Sydney on Friday night by giving an onstage kiss. Ashlee made a surprise appearance onstage at the famed awards show and urged the crowd to "grab the person next to you" before planting a lengthy smooch on her hubby's lips. Wentz eventually broke away from the clinch and told the audience, "Sorry, we haven't seen each other in a while. We're going to go and find some quiet time and fornicate somewhere." The couple will celebrate their first wedding anniversary next May. Pop star Pink claimed the Best Video award for her smash hit "So What," while Katy Perry was named Breakthrough Artist.
