WENTZ: 'SIMPSON IS A SAINT'

Rocker PETE WENTZ has praised his wife ASHLEE SIMPSON, insisting she's "saint" for helping him get through his own labour pains as she delivered their newborn son.
Singer/actress Simpson-Wentz gave birth to little Bronx Mowgli at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Thursday (20Nov08) night.
In his first interview since welcoming his son, Wentz describes the experience of being a new dad as "pretty surreal", and admits he was close to needing his own medical care as the couple prepared to welcome their firstborn.
He tells Los Angles radio show host Ryan Seacrest, "Obviously, some stuff my wife would freak if I said, but she's pretty much a saint. Right before she went into labour, I was like, 'Oh my God, I think I'm having a heart attack!'
"Natural things start going on in your body. My heart started beating really fast. You seen your wife in all this pain, and you really don't know what's happening.
He explains, "(Ashlee) took care of me and made sure I was OK and then we went into labour. That's why she's a saint.
"She's an amazing girl. She was like, 'I will make sure you're OK,' I didn't even stop to think, 'Well, you just had an epidural and you're about to have a baby!'"
