Wash, Wentz, Wee Pete

Cashlee Pimpson: Surprise, surprise. Papa Joe Simpson is trying to cash in on daughter Ashlee's press pregnancy and engagement to Pete Wentz. Big papa tried to sell the tabloids cover rights for Ashlee for $1 million, but it seems interest is more around the $60k mark. Also, all of Ashlee's big news comes at a time a bit too convenient—she's dropping a new album next week that no one would have previously cared about.

Bushy bush: Music producer and Amy Winehouse pal Mark Ronson has been busy romancing 18-year-old lingerie model Daisy Lowe. Lowe isn't just 14 years his junior, she's also got a sexy British hipster pedigree—she's the daughter of former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale (from his pre-Gwen Stefani days) and fashion designer Pearl Lowe.

Tax day: Barack Obama's campaign released the candidate's tax returns Wednesday, showing that the senator and his wife pulled in $4.2 million last year, much of it from the sale of Barack's two books. The couple also donated $240,370 to charity. Maybe Barack really is Jesus.

HELL YEAH, THERE'S MORE: Was Ashley Dupré packing?; Sex and the City Deaths; and Herpes on trial!

Bag of tricks?: Dennis Hof, owner of Nevada's Bunny Ranch brothel, chimes in on why Ashley Dupré didn't fly to her Governor Hobagger hook-ups. Hof tells Steppin' Out, "I guarantee you she took the train to see Eliot [Spitzer] because she was carrying restraints, handcuffs, cattle prods, drugs ... all the stuff you can't get on a plane." Sure, makes sense to us.

Death and the matrons: Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon let it slip that a character dies in the movie. Kill off another and we might actually enjoy the film.

Cooty call: A Florida man is on trial for mass distributing flyers announcing an ex-girlfriend gave him genital herpes.

Questionable vintage: A photograph of a leaf previously thought to be made in the mid-1800s by William Henry Fox Talbot may actually be one of the earliest photographs in existence, dating back to the 1790s. No word whether that's Marilyn giving a B.J. in the background.

Not like in his day: The Harry Potter copyright infringement trial ended yesterday. Along the way Judge Patterson said he found the books "extremely complex," more so than the Charles Dickens read to him as kid. He'll have time to figure it all out; it will be weeks until a decision is made on the case, and then probably years of appeals!

Mobile skies: As if flying wasn't annoying enough, the European Commission has issued new rules that may soon allow people to chatter away on their cell phones on flights across Europe.
