We've never seen a bigger pimp than Joe Simpson. First he pitched "Newlyweds," a reality show where daughter Jessica and then-hubby Nick Lachey experienced the trials and tribulations of early marriage on camera. After their relationship fell apart (they spent the majority of their wedded life on camera and had no space from the public eye), Joe is back at it trying to get his younger daughter Ashlee and fiancée Pete Wentz a slot on MTV with "Newlyweds 2." He's also trying to sell off Ashlee's wedding and baby pictures before she's so much as tied the knot or popped out her kid. Papa Joe, some privacy please?

Back in 2006 Joe even tried to make a buck off of being his daughters' personal photographer, snapping private and even risqué pictures for WireImage that other paparazzi wouldn't be able to get at intimate events and vacations wearing bikinis. And then there's his obsession with Jessica's boobs. He told GQ magazine, "If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she's sexy in both. She's got double D's! You can't cover those suckers up!" As a former Baptist minister, you'd think he'd treat his daughters with a little more respect.

What do you think? Is Joe Simpson a pervert or is he just exploiting his daughters for a dollar? [US, Reality Blurred, OK]
