Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson's dad, Joe, were involved in an altercation with security guards outside club Jet in Las Vegas after the VMAs on Sunday. The trouble started when a bouncer wouldn't let Wentz's entire entourage through a door to an SUV waiting for the group. After Wentz started screaming at him, the much-bigger guard shoved him, which knocked girlfriend Ashlee Simpson against a wall. The Daily News has the rest:

We watched as Wentz rushed to her aid. The Fall Out Boy bassist rained punches on the much-taller door sentries. Papa Joe also dove into the chaos. "When somebody messes with my baby, then it's over!" Joe told us later, drawing his finger across his throat.

Happily, the sound and fury didn't result in any serious injuries, and the Simpson-Wentz group managed to leave. Outside, Wentz stomped around and spat on the wall of the club. "[Bleep] this place!" he screeched, vowing never to set foot inside again. (Source)

When did Joe Simpson turn 21? Because that's the age I was when I last got into a drunken fight with a bouncer. The next thing we'll hear is that Joe has been trying on his Mother's panties and dancing in front of the mirror like a pretty little ballerina . . . like all 21-year-olds do . . . right? . . . help me out here . . . right?
