Papa Joe Trying To Cash Out In Ashlee Simpson Baby Rumor

People and Us Weekly are both reporting that Ashlee Simpson is pregnant via a credible source (cough -her father or her rep). Everyone is taking note of the perfect timing of it all calling the rumor nothing more than a convenient way to plug her upcoming album. Well, Papa Joe wants to make the most he can out of the "Is she or Isn't she" ordeal and is already selling the rights for first shots of the baby. In turn he wants to be the photographer and ensure the front cover. Oh and did I mention the $1 million price tag?!
Magazine reps say there is no way she would ever get that much money and some are even claiming it's more like $60,000. The NY Post reports,
A magazine source said, "Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover." The news broke this week that Jessica's younger sibling is pregnant with her now-fiancée Pete Wentz's child - a claim Wentz has backed off denying.
"The deal would include photos of Ashlee - taken by Joe, of course, so he can make more money - an interview and photos of the baby when she has it," our source said. One magazine editor said the pictures would fetch "$60,000 maybe - but definitely not a million. The timing is a little suspicious. Her album ['Bittersweet World'] is dropping next week, and there was little to no interest until now. Ashlee's lucky she got pregnant, frankly."

But even with the marriage announcement, "Joe has an unrealistic expectation of what Ashlee can command," the editor said.

Sad!! they might be making all this thing up to sell more albums....before any offers are made people should wait to see her belly. I bet after her album comes out they will say it was just rumors she was never pregnant

She wont get $1 million dollors for the pictures!!! She is barely famous outside of the USA, same with Pete. They are not well known here in europe at all. Jessica is a much bigger star, she has the talent, she has a fantastic voice.
