Photographer Slaps The Simpsons With $10,000 Bill

Photographer David LaChapelle has hit pop sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson with a $10,000 bill after they cancelled a raunchy photo shoot for Rolling Stone magazine last year.

LaChapelle has also attacked the sisters, insisting they are talentless and symptomatic of everything wrong with modern culture.

The 37-year-old was left fuming when Jessica and Ashlee walked away from his high profile shoot and agreed to pose for Blender magazine instead.

He tells Page Six, "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!

"We were going to try and make the Simpsons look cool. I realize now that is an impossible task."

However, the Simpson sisters insist they only ditched LaChapelle because his outrageous demands were unsettling and made them feel nervous.
