London, July 31 - American actress-singer Jessica Simpson's new TV show 'The Price of Beauty' is proving to be a costly affair for the bosses, as she is spending $25,000 an episode to ensure she looks good in front of the camera.

The star is set to jet around the world for the new VH1 project, which will examine different beauty regimes in a variety of cultures but TV bosses have been forced to come to grips with the real price of Simpson's beauty, as a staggering $25,000 is spent on a hair and make-up team for the singer, reports dailystar.co.uk.

'To get her camera-ready each episode will cost $25,000. She insists on using her own hair, makeup and fashion stylists, who are more expensive than JLos,' said a source.

'A budget was approved when the deal was made. All parties were satisfied,' the source added.
