OK! Gets Jessica Simpson Cheap

Magazine insiders are snickering at the deal Jessica Simpson's manager/father, Joe Simpson, made with OK! magazine. Simpson graced the inaugural U.S. issue and got $200,000.

But insiders say the $200,000 was a package deal in which Simpson will be on six more covers and host the magazine's Sept. 20th launch party on the roof of the Cornelia Day Spa on Fifth Avenue. "The deal also precludes Jessica from giving any other magazines major features until all the covers are done, which will be in like two years. So basically, Joe sold his daughter out for $200,000," the insider said.

Another source said Jessica may be getting a $100,000 bonus for the party appearance. Jessica's spokesman, Brad Cafarelli, said: "OK! approached Jessica to be on the premier cover of their U.S. edition, and she looks forward to working with them again in the future. However, this does not mean that she will not continue to have working relationships with other weekly publications."
