ASHLEE SIMPSON - SIMPSON TOLD TO DUMP WENTZ

SIMPSON TOLD TO DUMP WENTZ

ASHLEE SIMPSON's manager dad JOE is secretly urging his pop star daughter to ditch her boyfriend PETE WENTZ, so she can be the star of a new reality dating show. The former minister thinks the programme will help promote Simpson's second album, Bittersweet World, which is due for release in March (08). But the singer would need to end her relationship with Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz first - so she can be well and truly single. A source tells OK! magazine, "He wants Ashlee to break up with Pete." The insider adds of the proposed show, "It will put 14 guys in a house and they will compete to date Ashlee."
