Ashlee Simpson and fiancé Evan Ross made good on their engagement plans last weekend by marrying in a lavish ceremony… that no big news publication wants to pay for pictures of, apparently. You see, the Simpson family is famous for hawking pictures of major life events – they’ve counted on it for income for over a decade. The problem is, no one’s buying Ashlee’s shit.
From the New York Daily News:
“The Simpsons have a long history of selling pictures to magazines,” an insider tells Confidenti@l. “When Jessica was at the peak of her success with Nick Lachey, her dad made an exclusive several-part deal with OK! magazine. Just a few months ago, Jessica sold her most recent wedding pictures to People for $300,000. But now it seems no one cares about Ashlee anymore.”
“The only outlet that had expressed any real interest is People,” another insider said. “But they made it clear that a picture of the two sisters together would be better than a picture of Ashlee alone or with her groom. And (People) will not guarantee a cover.”
An hour after Confidenti@l contacted Simpson’s rep Janet Ringwood for comment, wedding photos were suddenly, and not exclusively, released for sale to any magazines or papers that were interested — in the late afternoon on Labor Day!
Well, that sucks. But seriously, can you name one thing Ashlee Simpson has done in the past 5 years BESIDES get married? I sure can’t – so why the hell is anyone acting like she’s still a celebrity?
pics of the groom=bad pics without the groom=ok….guess everyone will ignore the elephant in the room …
Pics of “just the bride” no one else wants either. They want the bride and the sister because Jessica Simpson is the famous one people “care” about. No one wants to see pictures of the bride or groom because they aren’t famous enough on their own. your making an “elephant in the room” where there isn’t one. And I’ve seen a wedding photo of theirs somewhere before this post so obviously someone bought them.
perhaps……
Who is that kid? He looks really familiar…
And for the life of me I can’t see the appeal of the Simpson Family and that predatory creep Papa Joe. Unless its for charity, magazines that pony up cash for A to D list celebs is just plain tacky.
