So you want Jessica Simpson to promote your product? Just make the check payable to Joe Simpson and your wish will be granted. But try not to imagine Joe's methods of persuasion; every conscience has a limit, and that just might be yours.
TMZ reports:
Joe Simpson says for a cool $10,000 his daughter Jessica will read YOUR magazine!
Well-placed sources tell TMZ that ever-opportunistic Joe has called at least two weekly celebrity rags to offer them the "opportunity" to feature Jessica reading their mag in a scene in the upcoming film "Blonde Ambition." We're told that he has asked them to write a check for $10,000 for the privilege of placement — and to make that check payable to Joe Simpson. Our sources say that Joe has "guaranteed" that he will personally see to it that the magazine will be where it's supposed to be when cameras roll. So far, according to sources, no one has taken Simpson up on his offer.
Well, this tale may be returned for insufficient funds. A rep for the Simpsons says that there is "no truth whatsoever" to this story. While the rep confirms that there was product placement staff working on the film, she says there is "absolutely no truth" in any request for payment directly to Joe.
We're just waiting for the day when Joe finds himself a little strapped for cash and really wanting that sweet custom RV with the leopard-print velvet upholstery and black-light-lined bed chamber. That will surely be the day that Joe calls up the Playboy offices and says, "Hef, we're on. But could you make the check out to Malibu Yacht and RV? That would really help."
Joe has no control over the Jessica you see at MrSkin.com. We think.
