Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson has turned down an invitation to meet one-on-one with President Bush.
She still will visit Washington today to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit that offers free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas who have facial deformities.
Carl Forti, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said he was surprised at the turndown."It's never been a problem for Bono," Forti pouted, referring to the U2 star who has met regularly with political leaders. "I find it hard to believe she would pass up an opportunity to lobby the president on behalf of Operation Smile."
You go girl!
