It seems that Papa Joe Simpson really has no boundaries when it comes to making money off the kin folk. Allegedly, Papa Joe is trying to cash in on the alleged Ashlee sprog (whaa - already?).
Page Six is saying that Joe Simpson, one of those dual purpose parental management units, has been shopping around the exclusive photo debut of his grandchild - the possible future product of the not yet confirmed pregnancy of Ashlee and Pete.
Joe is rumoured to be asking a cool million for the first public glimpses of the baby, but so far no takers. One quote from a magazine editor states that photos like that might fetch 60 thousand - but not a million.
Isn't this just icky sounding? No, not the possible "low" offer of 60 grand for the photos - icky because granddaddy is trying to sell to the highest bidder.
Wait one second there... what if the pregnancy isn't real and Papa is trying to drum up credibility to perpetuate a rumour that keeps his bread 'n butter in the limelight (cue sinister music).
Don't you think it's weird that all of this hullabaloo (yes - I said hullabaloo! Oh you can go bite me) - anyhow, this pregnancy/engagement hullabaloo is happening at the EXACT same time as Ashlee's most current music release? It just seems like such a... what's the word? Hmmmm - such a huge cosmic coincidence?
I think we'd better get Scooby-Doo on the case because something suspicious going on. Load up the Mystery Machine kids - I think we have a pregnancy sham on our hands!

For the record, I love the word "hullabaloo". Use it all the time.
