Joe Simpson may have given up on daughter Jessica's career, and now he's just trying to get the bitch married off so he doesn't have to deal with her anymore. That's one explanation, at least, for why Joe would've been seen at a recent Vegas party trying to set Jessica up with some random piece of meat he encountered. Said a source to US Weekly:
Joe was chatting to a handsome guy and told him Jessica was single. He gave the hunk his assistant's number and said he'd set him up with her.
So let me get this straight - Joe Simpson's at a party in Vegas, and sees this hunky dude, and figures it would be totally cool to just walk up to the guy and start pushing his idiot daughter off on him. Like every man in the world is just supposed to start drooling like a dog at the thought of being able to have sex with Jessica Simpson. I guess Joe figures she's the hottest thing on God's earth to him, so she must be to everyone else. If he wants to have sex with her, then everyone else must too. I'm actually surprised Joe would be so eager to share Jessica. Maybe he's hoping that, if she screws a lot of other people, she'll pick up some new tricks. He never has been happy with the way she gives hand-jobs, I'm told.
