Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz: So Happy

Add another couple to the list of celebrities who spent the beginning of 2008 on a tropical vacation: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson.

After they finished their New Year’s Eve hosting duties in Miami, Florida, it seems the “La La” singer and her Fall Out Boy hopped a plane to the Central American beaches of Costa Rica (it’s between Nicaragua and Panama).

And the paps were in full force, snagging some intimate pics of the happy twosome hanging out by the pool. Ashlee looked fine in her green halter-style two-piece, while Pete opted for some colorful swim trunks. The didn’t seem to mind the paparazzi presence, and got cuddly in spite of their lack of privacy.

Once back in the States, Pete and Ashlee were spotted at Starbucks in Los Angeles, complete with their dog. It seems Pete is still recuperating from his ankle injury, hence he is still sporting the brace.
