"I needed to escape," says Jessica Simpson, reflecting on her recent 10-day trip to Kenya. "I needed to get away from life and surround myself in that which is good." For the pop princess, that meant being a goodwill ambassador for Operation Smile, an international charity that provides free reconstructive surgery to kids.
My local newspaper is reporting that Jessica was scheduled to have another visit with the people of Africa, but she was so sick she had to stay in bed the whole day. Later that day she was spotted on a $1,500 safari.
