Was blonde bombshell Jessica Simpson passed on the for the face of Miu Miu for Lindsay Lohan? Well not quite but according to the New York Post the label had Jessica in mind for the ad campaign but passed because of the stars devotion to her main gay hairstylist Ken Paves.
The campaign was going to be shot by famed photographer Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. But when the snappers learned Simpson was on the list, they axed her. "They felt snubbed by Jessica because they were set to do her Vanity Fair shoot several months ago," says an insider. "Being the professionals they are, they wanted to bring in their own hair and makeup team, but Jessica said if they didn't use Ken, then she wasn't sitting for the shoot." The shoot and cover story for Vanity Fair were canceled amid false rumors that editors spiked them because Simpson refused to dish on her failed marriage to Nick Lachey.
Sources reveal to the paper it was the hair issues that ruined the spread, "Most fashion photographers use their own people - and they certainly don't use Ken Paves, who is considered tacky and amateurish for high-fashion shoots. He's very ' Texas pageant hair.'"
What does Simpson's rep have to say about all this? "She could not have done the campaign anyway because she has her own clothing and shoe line."
