Jessica Simpson Down Under

American entertainer Jessica Simpson has arrived in Australia as a last minute guest for this week’s MTV Australian Video Music Awards. The singer/actress, whose sister Ashlee Simpson is hosting the event in Sydney on Wednesday night, arrived on an early morning Qantas flight from Los Angeles. She was ushered through a VIP customs exit, greeted by around a dozen photographers and television camera crews.
“I’m so excited. It’s been so long since I’ve been here,” the 25-year-old said.
Organisers would not say what role Simpson would have in the MTV event, which will be held at Sydney’s Olympic Park on Wednesday. But the starlet, who was wearing a white jacket, ripped jeans and brown cowboy boots, said she was looking forward to seeing her sister.
“I can’t wait to see her.”
Simpson is best known for her starring turn in the movie The Dukes of Hazzard, as well as reality TV show Newlyweds, in which she and her now estranged husband, Nick Lachey, were followed around by a television crew.
