 Pete Wentz says Fall Out Boy fans can expect "the biggest Fall Out Boy
show they've ever seen" on the upcoming Honda Civic Tour, which begins
April 18 in Charlotte, N.C. But, he adds, big is a relative term.
"A lot of bands right now are doing these really
theatrical shows," Wentz tells Billboard.com. "Our friends Panic! At
The Disco did this almost circus on stage, and it was crazy. But that's
not what our band is. Our band's a rock band, so we look to bands like
what Guns N' Roses used to do and what Metallica does and Foo Fighters
and bands like that as far as what we're gonna do with our show. It's
just gonna be a really, really, really big rock show."

 The 'Toxic' singer is said to have fallen for Jason Filyaw, the
33-year-old lead guitarist of rock band Riva, who she met at her
Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
A source told the National
Enquirer magazine: "Britney adores Jason. He's been a tower of strength
for her at the lowest point in her life. She's convinced Jason can help
her through rehab because, as an alcoholic, he's been through the same
thing."
The 25-year-old singer is now planning to move in with the rocker when she leaves rehab, it has been claimed.
