Jennifer Lopez screws over Jessica Simpson

Jennifer Lopez has stolen the one gig that would have put Jessica Simpson back on the map!

The Jenny From The Block hitmaker’s manager, Benny Medina, apparently swooped in when he heard Simpson was in talks to join American Idol as a judge, and instead landed his superstar client the coveted spot on the TV talent show’s panel.

“You won’t find many folks that like Jessica’s movies or music, but who doesn’t love watching Jessica on TV,” a source told the PopEater website.

“She would be the perfect person to replace the void that Paula Abdul left. Jess is funny, caring and a total ditz. Just what the show needs to make America start caring again.

“[But] Benny dazzled the Idol producers in his pitch of J.Lo, and how the power of his client could put Idol back on top.

“This was literally music to Idol’s ears after seeing their show drop over 20 percent in the ratings in just one year.

“All of this has left Jessica heartbroken, she has known for some time that she needs a Benny Medina-type manager to secure her the big opportunities when they come along, but how do you fire your own dad?”
