Celebrity dad/music manager Joe Simpson is pitching a reality show starring his engaged and pregnant daughter Ashlee Simpson to a variety of a networks, celebrity snitches claim. Inspired by daughter Jessica Simpson’s skyrocket to singing stardom during her tenure on MTV’s Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, Joe is hoping a revamped Newlyweds format starring his youngest daughter and future son-in-law, Pete Wentz, will have a similar effect on Ashlee’s sagging record sales.

“Joe knows that no one cared about Jessica before her reality show, and he’s hoping a show for Ashlee will have the same effect,” a Simpson spy says in this week’s issue of OK! Magazine.

This wouldn’t be Ashlee’s first turn as a reality star. In 2004, the “Pieces of Me” star fronted one season of The Ashlee Simpson Show on MTV.

Another reality show might not be such a bad idea, a music industry tells OK! : “She’s been struggling with record sales. Now that she’s really interesting again, a reality show could do wonders for her career. It’s a part of doing business for this family.”
