JOE SIMPSON CONTINUES TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIS DAUGHTERS, JESSICA AND ASHLEE!

ON ASHLEE'S NOSEJOB:
"Girls have their own ideas. Anyway, there was a real problem with her breathing and that was cured."

ON ASHLEE LIP-SYNCHING ON SNL:
"She’d lost her voice, and Jordan Schur [then the head of her record label] insisted she lip-synch. She’d never done it before. She didn’t want to do it. Anyway, she’ll never do it again. We just did a huge tour, and there was no lip-synching."

ON RUMORS HE'S A CONTROL FREAK:
"I don’t tell my girls who to date or marry or what to do."

ON THE DEMISE OF JESSICA AND NICK'S MARRIAGE:
"I have nothing against Nick. But they got married very young. I told Jessica, 'You’re going to hit an age when it’s all going to be clear to you — life that is — and you’ll know what you want to do.' I do blame 50 percent of their break-up on the media."
