Pete Wentz: “Thank God Charlie Sheen exists”

Pete Wentz is thankful for Charlie Sheen.

The reason? Because Sheen’s latest shenanigans have taken the attention off Pete’s divorce from Ashlee Simpson.

“I think that one of the things, the hardest thing, when you’re a public profile it’s hard to maintain your private life, and you wanna do it especially when there’s a kid involved,” he said.

“It’s like the one time on earth I’m like, ‘Thank God, Charlie Sheen exists.’”

Pete recently spoke out about his divorce.

“Ashlee’s been my best friend for five years; she’s the mother of my child,” he said.

“I have nothing but love and respect for her and going through something like this isn’t easy, but we’re friends and the most important thing is to put our son first.”
