Smile For Daddy

Joe and Ashlee SimpsonJoe Simpson is a husband, father, manager and now...paparazzo.

Radaronline.com
reports that the former minister turned svengali has developed a very close relationship with the popular photo agency WireImage in exchange for special access to his daughters Jessica and Ashlee.

While celebs granting exclusives to certain photo agencies is nothing new, Simpson has taken it a step further by actually getting behind the lens himself.

Simpson has been accused of photographing his daughters on the red carpet, while simultaneously blocking the shots of other photogs. Joe is said to only approve photos he's taken, which are then distributed via Wire Image.

Obviously, this is ticking off other photographers who claim Joe has tried to bar other agencies from covering Jess and Ashlee's press events.

It seems ironic that Joe would limit media coverage of his daughters, since he is routinely criticized for pimping them out any chance he gets.

And considering the recent round of negative press surrounding the Simpson sisters, they could use any favorable picture they can get. And a publicist!

TMZ contacted a rep for WireImage who had no comment.

I used to think the Simpson's were the "all american family" - they are a perfect example of what happens when you are seduced by fame & fortune. You have to give Joe some credit - he took two borderline talented "singers" and made them and the entire family into stars. Now it's time to pay the piper - both "girls" have had their 5 minutes and we are all SICK of them. He has turned them and him into a circus act and he is the ringleader. Nick - you are WAY better off. The animated Simpson's are a better reflection of the "All American Family".

#14, I bet he did get into his daugher's panties. You know how them their folk from the south are. A lot of in-breeding going on.

If he insists on being a pimp, he should at least start dressing like one. And then should get a set of monster white-walls for the pimp mobile I am sure one of his slut daughers bought for him.

That is one person who should rot in hell!

Joe Simpson is a real turd for unleashing his two untalented lip-synching daughters on humanity. Not to mention the fact he is in love with Jessica! Pervert!

SICK IGNORANCE:  1973 days ago

When they left the church I said their life would change for the worst. What hollywood and money does to people. He was a so called Preacher. He should have guided Nick and Jessica to a happier life. No he wanted them to slip and fall. He needs to get back in church. ALL OF THEM and stop worring about hollywood and fame.

If Jessica and Ashlee are'nt accusing him of being a pervw, then would'nt that kind-a-kill the attention grabbing theroy!

What better way to get free pablicity, than to rat out a father's "allegid" perverted ways.

Since every one seems to believe it anyway. What better way for them both to get the simpathy vote!

Obviously the bond that they all have is more inportant to them, than defending all the rumors about this issue!
