Which is fine, I guess. If you like big paychecks and corporate sponsors.
Wentz, who’s certainly skinny enough to fit his entire body inside one leghole of my jeans, doesn’t exactly have what I’d call “a model face”.
He’s not fugly, but his Emo/Hipster vibe is so overpowering, it’s hard to look at him for long (unless, of course, you’re a blond girl who, once upon a time, lip synced on national television).

Watch the clip. Tell me what you think. A hot rocker who’s showing his individuality? Or a lame attempt to copy one Ziggy Stardust? I really, really hope he’s kidding.
