Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson’s father Joe Simpson is reportedly vying to become Britney Spears‘ new manager after she dumped Larry Rudolph earlier this month.

A source told the New York Daily News that Joe tried to set up a meeting with Britney over the weekend to discuss the idea further, using his daughters’ success as an advertisement for his services.

The source added that Joe, a former Baptist minister, also claims responsibility for helping Jessica and Ashlee avoid the obvious excesses of a life in the limelight and hopes to keep Britney away from another relapse requiring further rehab.

Britney’s spokesperson refused to comment on the story.
