Ashlee Simpson's Dad Can't Sell Her Baby Photos For $1M

Ashlee Simpson's manager dad Joe can't break a $1 million-deal from magazines for his daughter's exclusive photos with her upcoming child.

Reports say that Joe is trying to milk cash on his daughter's pregnancy, but he couldn't get any publication to shell out a million dollars for the photos. He also plans to shoot the pictures himself to get in more money, it has been claimed.

An insider tells New York Post, "Joe is contacting all the weeklies and asking them to pony up $1 million to put Ashlee on the cover."

"The deal would include photos of Ashlee - taken by Joe, of course, so he can make more money - an interview and photos of the baby when she has it."

But apparently, Ashlee and her baby aren't that much worth spending on. A magazine editor said the pictures could be worth a lot less than the Simpsons hoped for.

The magazine editor said, "$60,000 maybe - but definitely not a million. The timing is a little suspicious. Her album [Bittersweet World] is dropping next week, and there was little to no interest until now. Ashlee's lucky she got pregnant, frankly."

Ashlee and beau Pete Wentz had announced their engagement last week. Rumors abound that they are expecting their first child together that's why they suddenly got engaged. Pete flatly denied the reports when he was asked outright.

However, Ashlee had evaded answering the question igniting further speculations on her true condition.
