Looks like someone had her perky pillsHere's a new angle: What if Papa Joe's meddling really was behind Jess and Tony's split, and the only way he would come back to Jess was if Papa Joe promised to stay away? And let's further imagine that Stage Mother With A Penis actually kept his word - and let Jess fly like a butterfly, free to live and love as she chooses! To make her own business decisions!
OK. Snap out of it. It was a lovely little fairy tale while it lasted, but it'll never happen. Papa Joe's control fetish has gotten, well, out of control. He officiated at Ashlee and Pete's ceremony and took the pictures. The wedding almost didn't happen because Ashlee mumbled something about a Buddhist priest. Or maybe it was something about cruise ships east. She's so hard to understand sometimes.
Anyway, Tony and Jess seem to still be kind of together somehow. They don't seem crazy in love anymore, though, and Jess can of course thank Papa for that. Who knows? Maybe these two have what it takes to work it out; he does seem to care for her. I just don't think she can give up the tabloids and the drama for anyone, and that's not how he likes to roll.
