Donít fuck with the dude who directed that Burger King commercial with Hootie. Heíll cut you. Or claim that your dirty, skanky family is the blight of humanity. Either way.
So hereís what happened: Celebrity photographer/clown lover David LaChapelle wanted to photograph Jessica and Ashlee Simpson for the cover of Rolling Stone, but the Simpsons refused to work with him. A source from the girlsí side said, “When you do a cover with your sister, you both want to look like who you are. David doesn’t have that skill. The girls were looking for a photographer who wasn’t a one-trick pony. He’s good at what he does, but that’s it.” A one-trick pony? That hardly describes a man who has documented inner-city dance-offs and Tom Jones. LaChapelle was not pleased with the snub and went on a tirade to The New York Daily News: “They’re everything that’s wrong with music. Out of everything combined, they’re everything wrong with culture, and everything wrong with art, and what we think of as art and musical culture–in one family! They’re nothing. They have nothing. They hold no interest whatsoever for anybody. They’re reality-red-carpet, lip-synching television stars. I don’t know what they are beyond that. I don’t think they offer anything.” Well, Jessica for one offers huge hooters and short shorts. Thereís that. Plus, we think itís a little unfair to place all the blame for the downfall of humanity and the desecration of the art of music on the Simpsons. Thereís Hilary. And Paris will have a record out soon. And this picture of LaChapelle proves that he may be contributing just a wee bit to the ills of the world.
