Jessica SimpsonJessica Simpson has denied reports that she deliberately snubbed US President George W Bush at an event this week. She claims he just ran out of time to see her.

She is adamant that she’s not one of the Hollywood crowd that are keen to attack him at every opportunity. She has been to the White House four times and performed at his inauguration: “He’s a very personable guy, he’s a Texas guy. His ranch is four doors down from my aunt and uncle’s ranch. We have lots of Texas stuff to talk about,” she elaborated.

Jessica is keen to meet Bush in order to talk to him about her involvement with the charity Operation Smile and Bush seems so willing to list to one of his few celebrity fans that he’s rescheduled their meeting: “I’m just so excited because the President asked for a special meeting. We’re going to sit down face to face and we’re going to talk about children.”

“I want to set up this whole orphanage and adoption organization. I just really want to bring awareness to interracial adoption.”
