Dad’s Hardball Costs Jessica Simpson Dearly

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that spies say an off-Strip hotel offered Jessica Simpson more than $20 million guaranteed for a 30 week concert run, with five performances per week. The deal fell through when her father insisted on $1 million a week, and some now wonder if she regrets her father playing hard.

I`d work 20 years for 20 Million! Where can I apply?

You and me both, and 99.9% of the rest of the sane world. She should capitalize on her fame now because it will likely be gone in a few years.

her dad is a complete ***. That said, 20 million for a 30 week run doesn't strike me as THAT much. And it's off the strip so it wouldn't boost her celebrity that much.

I wish Joe Simpson would stop controlling his daughters... its not like they are too young to make these decisions for themselves... aghh so annoying!

 

[SCBl0ndie]

Too bad for Jessica. In five years she'll be happy to do it for $200 a show.

Thank god. I like Vegas the way it is. I don't want to see her there, screeching down the place. Haha. I have a really adverse reaction to a) anyone who can't sing but think they can, b) someone who acts ditzier than they actually are - I really think it's an insult to themselves and it's just stupid... c) reminds me of my ex-roommate who was highly irritating and disrespectful. Plus, it's just creepy the way her dad is....

hopefully!

yeah, she also turned down a 7-up advertising contract because she was holding out for pepsi or coke. still waiting for that to happen. . . her ship has sailed already.

 

[impossibleprincess]

five nights a week for 30 weeks??? That must be so hard. Seriously, that would kill anyone. It's probably a blessing in disguise...I know people do it on world tours and stuff but come on...

 

[hugobossdaria]

Jessica simpson is so dumb i would have accepted the offer

 

[NOE]

Thats ALOT of singing! And if I remeber correctly...Vegas ruined the lovely Celine Dion, who I used to adore and now is just annoying...OH wait, so is the Simpson family. I do love them...but they are taking over the world.

 

[SCBl0ndie]

Vegas didn't ruin Celine Dion. She was ruined from the start.

 

[modelmama]

Celebrity parents/ managers - named "Joe"-, I believe, should never, ever have say in what thier childrens do.
Desicions they make for the child / client , may not be the best in the long run.

Example: Joe Jackson (father of Michael Jacksoninnocent:

 

[splatooey]

Jessica's dad is in love with his daughter i bet...no normal father says things about his daughter's chest/body/face/virginity...its so perverted.

Vegas didn't ruin Celine Dion. She was ruined from the start.

I must disagree. Although she's not as glam as current pop starts the teenies listen to, Celine still holds the place of highest grossing female singer in history. She also has the highest album sales than any other female singer. Every one of her shows is being sold out every single night so she can't be that ruined, right?

Too bad for Jessica. In five years she'll be happy to do it for $200 a show.

thats spot on!

 

[mikeijames]

i bet she'll get the thirty million ... love her or hate her, she will draw tourists to that show. and they will pay almost any price to see her.

 

[cocomonkey4]

Jessica and Ashlee should divorce their father. That perv has no shame pimping out his daughters to fill his pocket.
