Pete Wentz slams Kmart over fake hoodies

, Prev Next

Fall Out Boy singer Pete Wentz has sent retail giant Kmart a proverbial smack on his blog, claiming that the chain store is selling fake rip-offs (pictured, above) of his clothing line in Australian stores.

The hoodies on sale in store bear a striking resemblance to designs from Pete's Clandestine Industries range, which retail online for around $88, while those on sale in Kmart are selling for less than $30.

The knock-off hoodies are allegedly missing the signature thumb holes as well as the vague possibility Wentz's DNA might have rubbed off on the fabric for you to keep for years until cloning technology is perfected and you can get a Wentz of your very own replicated to play with at home. Which, we presume, is the main pull of the clothing line anyway.


Double take: A hoodie from Pete Wentz's Clandestine Industries line.

haha very funny. he like to keep us on our toes! as if it was coincidential that kmart accidently made the same or similar hoody. go pete! on your way, cud u close down the store for good? LOL i luvv FOB
If he made it he should get the credit for it... and money. simple i dont think you would like it if someone ripped on something great that youve done.
HaHaHa! Honestly, That's Life! No Matter What You Do, Someones Gonna Copy Some Elses Work! Now, I Am A Pretty Good Fan Of FallOutBoy, "There Awsome!" But Pete Should Get The F$&k Over It. That Is What You Get When You Go Into The Sort Of Industry. Just Pick Yourself Up And Go Create Some Better Ones. [Also, 88 Bucks? Its Looks Really Bad! Alot Of Effort? HaHaHa. A Two Year Old Could Do Better!]
i dont think most of you realise the history of a band like fall out boy... i also dont think alot of you realise how much these guys are worth... ok its wrong to copy his designs, however he prob did a cheap deal with kmart because only cheap emos wear clothes like that, wether from a skateshop or a place like kmart... most of the ppl backing up fall out boy are prob only 18 or younger i was into falloutboy back when they were in highschool... they are *** ok, and i can only assume that when they made it after that lame attempt of a new cd, they only got more up themselves... emo is dead or dying, deal with it ppl.
Wow so many *** here have heard of this parasite. Who cares about stupid american fashions being copied cheaper by Kmart. If it's wearable who gives a crap what silly wanna-be designed it?
Kmart should be ashamed of themselves....Pete has worked really hard at his clothing company and the designs are so unique, it's quite disgusting that Kmart think they can copy an international label and get away with it!! Pete should sue them!
omg . . . i bought one of those jackets without knowing it was some cheap imitation. How dare Kmart do that?!! Copying someones hoodie!!!!! grr
You guys are so rude! He's got so much going on in his life! He tires his hand by playing bass in fall out boy, he has to care for his wife and child, he has to perform almost everyday, he faces the stupid paparazzi that always follows him and asks for his autograph! He's been under so much pressure! By the way it's me your talking to you ***! I live in Australia and there are millions of other Fall out boy fans here and we don't want a stupid cheap hoodie that kmart made! I would like one by pete himself! I don't care if it's one button difference! Why do they have the right to do that in the first place? I think they should be sued! Even if it's almost identical, that doesn't matter. They don't have a reason to do that in the first place! so face it! pete has a reason to slam them and to sue them. Kmart was always crap anyway.
You're so mean, he is so busy in his life, performing almost everyday around the world, caring for his child and wife, facing the crazy paparazzi (it never stops and he still doesn't go crazy), he is called rude names all the time and tries to fight back the tears. PEOPLE HE HAS FEELINGS! Anyway I would slam Kmart too because there are millions of his fans in Australia and they would love clothes that Pete himself designed not stupid cheap Kmart. He is trying his hardest! You know what? all of you are *** holes! stay out of his life! he is struggling to live one because of all you ****. If you have nothing nice to say about him don't say it at all! I'd like to see YOU living his difficult life!
As my mum always says Kmart sucks and it does no offense all the clothes are ugly and Kmart should banned selling them any way that's life remember Kmart sucks !

A Lily Allen comeback? Already? MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 10 2010 10:58AM In what could be the shortest retirement ever, Lily Allen is reconsidering her retirement plans just months after announcing she had quit music for good.

After promising It's Not Me, It's You would be her final album, Allen is already regretting her decision. "I keep thinking I am letting down all my fans," the singer told the UK's Metro . "Can I do it to them? It's a tough decision."

It must be the month of broken promises, with Allen returning to her twittering ways. The singer, well known for her Twitter addiction went cold turkey last year due to "technology overload," the UK's Glamour magazine reported.

But to the joy of twits everywhere Lily returned last week, proclaiming her love for Lady Gaga ("She is the bestest beeyatch ever") and singing with joy over her three Brit Award nominations.

Nick Jonas better without his bro's? Listen now! MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 9 2010 12:52PM There has been a Jo'Bro sized hole in the airwaves lately with Joe busy missing out on tv cameos and Kevin getting hitched. Luckily Nick went solo and we have the album ready for your listening pleasure.

We've been hearing about Nick's new band 'The Administration' for a while now and the album definitely delivers on the rumoured 'more adult' sound he was aiming for.

Working with members of Prince's old band the youngest brother has delivered a rock-pop disc sounding far older than his age would suggest.

So if you've ever wondered what one bro would sound like...

Beyonce stumbles and tumbles... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 9 2010 9:37AM American Idol judges would have raved about Beyonce's performance after she managed to make an on-stage fall look like part of the show.

During her Brazilian concert last week, Beyonce's super-high stilettos got the better of her as she took a tumble mid-song.

Luckily for her and unluckily for the front row that could have got a piece of the star, she narrowly avoided falling off the stage and quickly regained her balance to continue belting out the song, 'Irreplaceable'.

This is the second fall of Beyonce's to become a YouTube sensation. The first was captured during a show three years ago in Orlando with the singer faceplanting down a flight of stairs.

Check out our gallery of the most embarrassing onstage blunders from the world's biggest stage stars. They'll never live down these babies!

Justin Timberlake - not such a sexy blonde... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 8 2010 11:54AM Justin Timberlake looked a little too comfortable in the blonde wig he wore last week to accept his 'Hasty Pudding Man of the Year' award from Harvard University.

Organisers said Timberlake was a "triple threat". "He sings, he dances and he goes straight to DVD," they said. The annual award is given to entertainers who have "made a lasting contribution to the world of entertainment".

JT also endured a roasting of people from his past including spoof versions of Madonna, 'N Sync and a fat-suited, pigtail-wearing Britney Spears.

But the 'Sexyback' singer, accompanied by girlfriend Jessica Biel (so much for the bust-up rumours), said the silver pudding pot prize was "cooler than a Grammy or Emmy".
