TMZ is reporting that the only reason that Tony Romo attended Ashlee Simpson’s wedding was because of the deal Papa Joe struck with People magazine.

Our moles tell us, when People cut a $1.4 deal for Ashlee’s wedding pics, there was a g-string attached — that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo would be there. That’s why People wanted to put a pic of Jessica and Tony as an inset on the cover — they sell, Ashlee doesn’t.

You all know that Tony and Jessica split before the wedding, that begs the question…how much did Papa Joe pay Tony to dirty dance with his daughter?
