AccessHollywood - Music - Joe Simpson's Double Duty: "Joe has always been serious about raising his girls right. When Jessica was 12, he gave her what he called a promise ring, vowing to be the man in her life until she got married.

'I was serious about saying to Jessica, 'You know what? I am gonna be the dad that tells you how beautiful you are everyday, and I'm gonna be the dad that says even when you make a mistake you're still special, and I am gonna do that until the day you find a man who will do it and take my place so that's what the ring was about,' he explained.

And Jessica's promise in return? To save herself for marriage.

'What greater gift can you give your husband, than to say, 'The most important gift I have is not my money, not fame, just me never touched by another man for you,'' Joe said."


MSNBC - The 2004 Scoopie Awards:"To Joe Simpson, who said of his daughter, reality-show star, singer, and professional dumb blonde, Jessica Simpson: “She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she’s sexy in both. She’s got double D’s! You can’t cover those suckers up!”"
