Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz is preparing for his forthcoming role as a father by reading parenting books and grilling his own dad for tips.

Wentz is currently expecting his first child with his wife Ashlee Simpson and he is taking preparations for the new arrival seriously - by doing a lot of research.

He says, "I'm reading all the books. The best one I've read so far is 'The Expectant Father'. I'm talking to my dad a lot. I'm talking to Ashlee's dad a lot. We hang out with other people who have kids. You see the world in a different way. It's exciting."
