Reportedly, LaChappelle is still fuming mad that Jessica and Ashlee bailed on plans for a cover shoot for Rolling Stone magazine last September. He reportedly sent the sister’s a bill for $10,000 for bailing on the shoot. It has been reported that the Simpson’s chose not to do the shoot because they were "turned-off" by LaChappelle’s "edgy concept and conduct."

A source said, "Locations were changed. Jessica was told she couldn’t use her hair guy [and best friend] Ken Paves even though David used him for other shoots. Then, he changed hair people three times the day before the shoot. He started making demands that made her uncomfortable…telling her the shot was going to be down and dirty and in a bar with snakes…like she was Paris Hilton. She has to protect her image – and he was going to kill it." Ummm…did anyone else see the video for "These Boots Were Made For Walking?" The Simpson sisters opted to pose for the cover of Blender instead.

LaChappelle trashed the sister’s saying, "They’re everything that’s wrong with music…They’re everything wrong with culture, and everything wrong with art…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." Did LaChappelle feel this way before or only after they ditched his photo shoot? Said a snitch close to the Simpson family, "He will not see a dime from them. They didn’t sign any contracts. When [dad] Joe saw the bill, he just laughed – the nerve of this guy! The shoot didn’t go off because of him."
