OK! magazine is reporting that Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s father/manager, Joe Simpson, crashed Nick Lachey’s pre-Super Bowl bash in Miami, Fla. earlier this week.

An eyewitness claims to have overheard Joe talking at Hotel 944 in Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach, exclaiming, “Nick doesn’t know I’m here!”

Apparently, OK! even informed Nick that Joe had been there, to which Nick responded:

“I haven’t talked to Joe in years. So be it.”

Sounds like an awkward situation!

BTW, doesn’t Joe look a little like a cross between Conan O’Brien and Nick Nolte in that photo?

This was a very informative interview. For example, I had no idea that the show would feature Jess’s work with her favorite charity, Operation Smile. The show even provided reconstructive surgery to a young girl in India with a cleft lip and palette.
Here in the interview in its entirety:
What have you learned about beauty from going around the world and interviewing women?
Jessica:  I think going all around the world and …read more

Lists are to Forbe’s what car crashes are to Lindsay Lohan: a necessary, sometimes interesting, sometimes annoying, part of their appeal. However, this is one list I can’t help but to agree with.
According to their most recent list, “Hollywood’s Top-Earning Moguls in the Making,” Jessica Simpson tied with rappers 50 Cent and Akon as the seventh top-earning ‘mogul in the making’ with $20 million in earnings.
The accompanying text says:
“Since she released her first pop hit nearly 10 years ago, Simpson has been in and out of mass appeal. She found moderate success and earned her first No.1 album upon releasing …read more
