The question of the day is: Will Pimpa Joe Simpson take over Britney Spears career, now that she has illegally fired Larry Rudolph? Jessica Simpson thinks it's a possibility, and has offered the services of her Svengali-like daddy to help Brit's career comeback.

Jess, according to Rush & Molloy, offered to call Brit to set something up for daddy dearest, who's been mulling taking over the reins on Spears' career ever since she dumped Larry Rudolph. He tried setting up a meeting over the weekend, says a source, though Jess' rep denies that.

And Joe's swooping in just when Brit's real father figure – her dad Jamie – has been publicly trashing her and blaming her for blaming him and his mother for her rehab-instigating troubles.

Just what Britney needs: another overbearing, money grubbing, spotlight grabbing man in her life.
