Joe to Jess: You Bettah Work!

Posted Jan 2nd 2007 2:55PM by TMZ Staff

Joe Simpson and Jessica Simpson Pimp Daddy Joe Simpson is pissed that his paycheck, er, daughter Jessica, turned down a paying gig to party with John Mayer instead!

A source tells TMZ the family tiff started when Vegas' PURE nightclub contacted Joe to have Jess host a New Year's Eve party for what we are told was a large sum of money. Jessica wasn't interested in working on the holiday, says our source, and told Pops she wanted to spend a mellow New Year's sans glitz and glamour. With her recent Kennedy Center Honors debacle, film flop and tanking music career, the girl's had a rough year! An exhausted Britney Spears would go on to host PURE's festivities, until she fainted.

When Papa Joe found out baby Jessica's idea of a quiet night at home meant canoodling with Mayer at various NYC hotspots, the minister turned Svengali was livid -- not because she was with her new boy, but because she partied -- for free!

With Jessica reportedly not getting reimbursed for $15,000 in styling fees associated with her aborted Dolly Parton tribute, Joe is sure to have his little girl working double shifts in no time. Papa needs a new pair of shoes!

39. I always thought Jessica was as dumb as a doorknob. But maybe it'll work out for her and John.

I also feel bad for Britney. She spun out of control after Justin dumped her and she never recovered.

As we get into our 20s, we're expected to mature out of our teen selfishness.The only one I see doing that is Paris Hilton.
It's great that she made New Year's resolutions to be more aware of others - that shows real growth.
