Ashlee Simpson: I'm Keeping Pete's Proposal 'Sacred'

Ashlee Simpson is one ecstatic wife-to-be, and her diamond sparkler had her gushing to Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning.

Calling into to his KIIS-FM radio show Thursday morning, the 23-year old singer giggled when Seacrest brought up her impressive ring from fiancй Pete Wentz, 28. "It is [huge]!" Simpson said from her mother's New York City hotel room, "I stare at it. I'm like, 'Oh, my god, I can't believe this is on [my] hand!'"

Simpson was more coy about other details of their recent engagement to the Fall Out Boy bassist. "I'm keeping that part sacred," she said of Wentz's actual proposal. "But I will tell you it was very thoughtful and he did a great job."

Pushed on whether she was planning on drinking alcohol Thursday night, Simpson stayed mum on her pregnancy, playfully answering, "Who knows. Maybe."

Still, Simpson couldn't contain her happiness. Despite the name of her upcoming album – Bittersweet World, out April 22 – she said she was "extremely in love making the record."

Bittersweet World Review by Rolling Stone:

It’s easy to see why teens embrace Ashlee Simpson. She’s lived a John Hughes fantasy, transforming herself from the prom queen’s ugly-duckling sister into the hottie main attraction (with a rock-star boyfriend!) worthy of collaborating with hip-hop’s powerhouse producers. On her third album, Simpson skillfully shifts her crunchy, guitar-driven pop to Eighties-influenced electro-rock with the help of Timbaland and the Neptunes’ Chad Hugo. With songwriting assistance from Santogold, Simpson channels Missing Persons on “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)” and swipes Gwen Stefani’s formula on the reggae-*bopping “Ragdoll.” The danceable beats haven’t obliterated Simpson’s affinity for chugging riffs, though they may have inspired some ill-advised lyrics: “I ain’t got no beef,” she boasts on “Rule Breaker.” But Simpson’s still her own favorite subject, and she’s got an excellent coming-of-age anthem in “What I’ve Become,” a paparazzi kiss-off with an appealingly honest chorus: “I’ve just begun to find my way.”

Rapper Nas called the newly engaged couple "super people" and shared his recipe for rock star marital bliss with PEOPLE at a Belvedere vodka event. "Respect each person's individuality," said Nas, who has his own high-profile musical marriage with R&B singer Kelis. "Don't try to hog somebody or handcuff 'em. Help them grow and blossom."
