Today in Celebrity Dads (allegedly) Gone Wild: Joe Simpson, father of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence last weekend.

Police stopped the 54-year-old on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks around 10 p.m. Saturday, according to E! Online, and took him into custody.

Joe, an allegedfirst-time offender, was released the next day, the website reported.

Coincidentally (or not?), new mom Jessica tweeted an anti-alcohol sentiment about 40 minutes before her dads arrest: Responsibility has drastically changed my life! Saturday night drink of choice.... WATER!"
