Pete Wentz has been a solo parent as of late because wife Ashlee, 25, has been busy preparing for her Broadway debut as Chicago’s Roxie Hart on November 30th.

“I just spent the last weekend – Mom was rehearsing for Chicago – being Dad without a nanny, without Mom, and didn’t burn the house down,” Pete, 30, told People magazine on Tuesday at the American Eagle Outfitters Times Square store opening. “So I’m pretty excited about that.”

The couple’s son, Bronx Mowgli, celebrates his first birthday on Friday, and his parents are throwing him a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed birthday party in Los Angeles.

“He likes Bob and he likes guitar – which he calls ‘itar,’ so we’re going to have a Spongebob party for him,” Pete said.

On the guest list? “A bunch of friends,” he said. “Like all the guys in Blink [182] and a couple friends that have kids [are coming over].”

Mr. Mom did admit that Bronx may need a babysitter on the night of Ashlee’s Broadway debut. Asked if he will be attending his wife’s debut, Pete said, “I think I will be.”

Brooke Shields has been honest and forthcoming about her painful struggles with post-partum depression, but in revealing new comments she shares the true depths of her suffering.

Brooke, 44, spoke movingly about the stigma of depression and her experience battling the disease on Monday while receiving an advocacy award from the Hope for Depression Research Foundation in Manhattan.

“We think and we feel that we should just be able to handle it on our own,” said Brooke, who is mom to two girls, Rowan, 6, and Grier, 3. “I’ve always been strong enough to get through every single difficult situation in my life. I grew up in an addictive household. My mother [Teri] had acute alcoholism. It’s in my blood. I was never going to be the one to succumb to it.”

After a miscarriage and seven IVF attempts, she welcomed daughter Rowan in 2003 with her husband, Chris Henchy. “I finally had a healthy beautiful baby girl and I couldn’t look at her,” she said of the depression she felt. “I couldn’t hold her and I couldn’t sing to her and I couldn’t smile at her … All I wanted to do was disappear and die.”

In her deepest moments of despair she said, that the disease led her to believe, “I should not exist. The baby would be better off without me. Life was never going to get better – so I better just go.”

Brooke was prescribed medication, though she stopping taking it one point, thinking she didn’t need them. “That was the week I almost did not resist driving my car straight into a wall on the side of the freeway,” she told the crowd. “My baby was in the back seat and that even pissed me off because I thought she’s even ruining this for me. I just wanted to drive into the wall and my friend stayed on the phone with me and made me safely get home.”

She later called her doctor to ask for more help, and was eventually diagnosed with a chemical imbalance. “I learned what was going on inside my body and what was going on inside my brain,” she said. “I learned I wasn’t doing anything wrong to feel that way. That it was actually out of my control.”

Looking back, she said, “If I had been diagnosed with any other disease, I would have run to get help. I would have worn it like a badge … I didn’t at first – but finally I did fight. I survived.”

Jenna Elfman, who is pregnant with her second child, has been doing a good job of balancing food cravings and exercise.

“You know, the main cravings are done with,” Jenna, 37, told People magazine at the P.S. Arts “Express Yourself” charity event in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday. “Now it’s just eating in general. I like stuffing food down my face.”

Despite her indulgences, she has managed to stay in shape.

“I try to just get on the treadmill three times a week and lift some free weights,” said Jenna, who’s due in March with another boy.

Jenna’s pregnancy is going well, but her son, Story Elias, is eager for it to be over – and to have a new playmate.

“He’s wonderful. He gives the baby hugs and kisses and he says ‘Out!’ like he wants the baby to come,” she said.

In an upcoming interview with Barbara Walters, former GOP vice-presidential contender Sarah Palin says that she did not know her daughter, Bristol, was sexually active with Levi Johnston.

So when Bristol, then 17, told her mom she was pregnant, “I was shocked,” Sarah, 45, told Barbara Walters in the five-part series of interviews to begin airing on ABC’s Good Morning America Tuesday. 

“Truthfully,” Sarah added, “we were devastated.”

Bristol, now 18, gave birth to son Tripp in December. She and Levi Johnston, 19, split shortly after.

Levi, who posed in Playgirl this past week, said he plans to file for joint custody of Tripp because the Palin family won’t let him see the baby.

In her Oprah Winfrey Show interview airing Monday, Sarah said Levi is still “part of the family” and is even welcome over for Thanksgiving.

But during Levi’s Playgirl shoot, “He said ‘ … she was full of it,’” Daniel Nardicio, Playgirl’s marketing director, told Us magazine.
