Oh God he's creepy

onths before she's due, Joe Simpson is already trying to strike a deal to sell the first pictures of his daughter Ashlee's new baby. And he wants a million bucks. A source told the New York Post:

"Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover. 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."

Sadly, there is some interest - but not for anything close to $1 million. 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. Joe has an unrealistic expectation of what Ashlee can command." (Source)

Jesus. Is there anyone in Joe's family he won't pimp out for money? Ashlee's baby still has a tail and already he's trying to make a buck off of it. Ten bucks that the day after she gives birth an "Authentic Ashlee Simpson Placenta" is gonna turn up on eBay.
