Apparently Joe Simpson has made a deal with OK! magazine for Jessica Simpson - for $200,000! She is on their inaugural US issue but the deal also is apparently for a package deal - she’ll appear on six more covers and host the magazine’s September 20th launch party. The party’s going to be held on the roof of Cornelia Day Spa on Fifth Avenue.
“The deal also precludes Jessica from giving any other magazines major features until all the covers are done, which will be in like two years. So basically, Joe sold his daughter out for $200,000,” the insider said. Another source said Jessica may be getting a $100,000 bonus for the party appearance.

As always in the Uk as soon as a celebrity begins to get more famous and a growing fan club, the UK newspapers have to rip them apart. see article below from Sunday 7th August 2005 tabloid newpaper:
Dukes star Jessica denies a boob job
THE long blonde hair looks familar… but that’s just about the only thing.
In six years Dukes of Hazzard star Jessica Simpson has transformed herself from a dowdy church minster’s daughter from Texas into an international sex symbol.
But just how Hazz she managed it?
Jessica made her name at 18 as a virgin bride in MTV’s reality TV show The Newlyweds with her husband, boyband singer Nick Lachey. In her new role as Daisy Duke in a film based on the 70s TV series she’s, well…a lot more grown up.
Jessica, now 25, says her sexy new look isn’t down to the surgeon’s knife but hard work. She says: “I trained six days a week, two hours a day. I feel confident about my body, although I’m shy.”
As for her amazing 34D breasts, Jessica says: “Mine are definitely real. At school, my boobs were bigger than all my friends and I was afraid to show them. Now, I feel they make my outfits look better. They’re like an accessory.”
AND WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS..
TOP Harley Street surgeon Mr Jeya Prakash is convinced Jessica has had plastic surgery:
NOSE: In 1999 her nose looked broader, now it’s finer - achieved by rhinoplasty?
SMILE: She now smiles with none of her upper gums showing - the upper lip can be relaxed using Botox or enlarged using fillers.
EYES: They appear to have changed from oriental to perfect almonds. This could be done with a brow lift.
TEETH: Now a perfect, even smile. Teeth can be whitened and evened with veneers.
CHIN: It used to look longer. Muscles can be tightened to achieve this effect.

In an interview with “Access Hollywood,” Joe Simpson, father and manager of pop stars Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, says that they have “hired the most powerful lawyer in the city” to take on publications that he claims run false reports about his family. The interview airs on “Access Hollywood,” Tuesday, August 2, 2005.
“What we’ve done is hire the most powerful lawyer in the city to start taking these people on. You can only say, ‘No that’s not true’…so often and then everybody thinks you are lying. I had Botox, who believes that? I mean, they just print it because Jessica sells magazines and we don’t have any responsibility in the media anymore. You can say whatever the hell you want to and it’s not right.”
When asked what he thought would make the reports stop, Simpson replied, “I don’t know. A law suit big enough to get their attention.”

Jessica Simpson has told Britney Spears to quit her reality TV show before it takes over and ruins her life: “Only do one season and make sure your contract is good. We were locked in. We thought it was going to be a six-episode documentary about being a newlywed. It ended up being two years.”
“Newlyweds” Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey looked married as ever canoodling at ESPN’s ESPY awards in Los Angeles this week, it was reported Friday.
There have been rumors for months about trouble on the homefront for the MTV reality show couple and an anonymous email sent to media outlets claims “Dukes of Hazzard” co-stars Simpson and Johnny Knoxville were getting ready to go public with an alleged affair, the New York Post said Friday.
“Jessica Simpson and Johnny Knoxville are going public. Johnny is leaving his wife, Simpson is filing for divorce-they are shopping the exclusive story to the weeklies under Joe Simpson’s direction. Her PR instinct is that the news will break in next week’s weeklies to fuel some fire before the July 28th Dukes of Hazzard premiere.”
Simpson spokesman said “TThis is all absolutely false. The entire story is a complete lie.”
But is it another case of movie publicity? Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie; Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes….

The couple seemed anything but loving at Simpson’s 25th-birthday bash in LA over the weekend, the New York Daily News reports.
According to the tab’s spy, the couple arrived separately, didn’t speak to one another and, during the pivotal blowing-out-of-candles denouement, Lachey preferred hanging out with his pals to being with the birthday girl.
The spy says the hooch supply was inadequate and sober attendees left to quench their thirst.
