Adina Porter: The Newsroom, True Blood and Motherhood
Despite 'Buckwild's' Ignominious End, Reality Television May Not Be…
After Jessica Simpson's manager (and father), Joe Simpson, foolishly kicked a group of singing U.S. combat veterans off his daughter's PBS holiday special, Jessica has been under intense pressure from across the spectrum to fire her dad and hire a real manager."Jess is really talented, it's clear that what's holding her career back is her father," an insider tells me. "Joe is impossible to work with and makes terrible decisions that poor Jessica has to put up with. Now, both music and movie people are telling her she needs to let him go."

Not surprisngly,this is the "blood thicker than water" idiom at work. Jess could no more fire him than a streetwalker could fire her abusive pimp.

Oops...Surprisingly.
Sure she could and should!! Brooke Shields fired her mom from being her manager -- it happens all the time! Jessica wouldn't be firing her Dad from being her Dad, just from being her manager... Her Dad is the reason she's still not married to Nick Lachey. Her Dad is or was a youth Pastor, not a talent manager! Notice that Ashlee had no issue with doing her own thing, sans Papa Joe? I mean, she's married to a bisexual, didn't wait until marriage for sex or living with a man (the way it was drummed into Jessica to do), and has her own management team... Jessica MUST dump him and get bettter, PROFESSIONAL representation!!!
I said that he needed to go years ago when he ran Nick Lachey off..

I can not imagine mooching off your child for a living. What jerks! Joe Simpson is such a leech with his botox and crowns. So much for being a preacher.
She is dumb I dont care how much she sings. She falls in love with every guy who stays with her for more than a day.
Hollywood is full of losers. The Spears, Lohans, Simpsons. Get a job and a life quit living off your kids !

On one hand, Papa Joe should be congratulated for making gazillionaires (as well as himself)out of two totally talentless daughters. On the other hand, anyone who has had dealings with Joe (and I had the misfortune of doing so), will know that this story is, in all likelihood true. For some reason, Joe thinks that Jessica is a much greater star than she is.

that's her dad and she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. so if he is holding her back and is a bad manager he should back away and not let jessica make that choice. but then the jackson's let there dad go.

She needs to let hom go, just like Lindsay needs to let go of her mother, both are enablers.

NIETHER ONE OF THEM IS IMPORTANT. JOE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN EGO DRIVIN IDIOT WHO MAKES INFINTILE AND UNIFORMED DECISIONS. JESS IS NOT ANY SMARTER SO LET THEM GO DOWN TOGETHER THEY ARE JUST NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO OUR COUNTRY OR THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
JOE, DID YOU SERVE OUR COUNTRY? NO? DIDNT THINK SO.

Is Joe hurting her career? What career?

Joe thinks his daughter is too good, to sing in front of our men in uniform. He should have been let go the same day.
His 'better than everyone' attitude, is the very thing that will keep people from paying to see Jessica.
I wouldnt pay to hear her now, after what Joe said.
Not to hurt Jessica, but the fact is if my sons uniform is not good enough for Jessica to see, then I am not going to pay the man for that attitude.
If anything, is Jessica good enough to be in the same room as my son? Not now she isnt.
Joes remark shouldnt be taken lightly. So many people have died due to the war, and this gut says something as he did?
Joe is not much more than dog poo under my shoes now.

YOU COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER. I AGREE WITH YOU.
Well of course. I've been saying it for years. I love Jessica. She is a great singer too. Somebody just needs to pick out her songs for her. Cause whoever is doing it now is doing an awful job (dad).

I think Jessica and her father should stay together. That way between them they would have one brain.

Yes, she should, but will she, no!

Appears Papa Joe is another Papa Lohan...........

She's a talentless idiot. She'd be lost without him.

quite true. She is irrelevant now so it makes no difference. Buh Bye Jess..
