Ashlee Simpson wedding coverage will cost seven figures

Crazy Papa Joe Simpson must be dancing with glee at youngest daughter Ashlee's supposed upcoming nuptials. Why, you ask? Because he's filled with joy that his daughter has found the love of her life? Because he's relieved that the possibly-maybe-who-knows knocked-up singer is at least being made a decent woman? We think it's most likely because he's supposedly demanding seven figures from whatever mag wants to cover Ashlee's nuptials. That's right, it's all about the numbers.

How much would you pay to attend Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson's 'secret' wedding? We hear a seven-figure sum is being offered for exclusive coverage of this Saturday's hush-hush nuptials.

The hastily planned wedding is coming just two months after the couple announced their engagement, doing little to quash rumors of Simpson's pregnancy. And the event itself is so classified that even invited guests don't have all the details. Friends and family received cryptic Evites (classy!) telling them to book hotel rooms in the L.A. area, and that they'll be picked up by private cars. One warning: Cell phones and cameras are strictly forbidden.

We hear that Simpson has chosen a Vera Wang gown (hopefully with an Empire waist!), while Wentz and his groomsmen will don Dolce & Gabbana tuxes. Meanwhile, Ashlee's big sis, Jessica, is said to be hosting a rehearsal dinner at her house Friday night.

While this might seem like another Hollywood romance unlikely to last, a pal of the couple says their co-dependence will stand the test of time. 'Ashlee is so needy - she just hangs all over Pete,' says our mole. 'But he loves it. He's always had a thing for vulnerable girls. In a weird way, they complete each other. I can't imagine one would ever leave the other.' Ain't love grand!
