Jessica Simpson promises swag to Charity but doesn't deliver

Is Jessica Simpson Backing Out of Charity Promise?
Jessica Simpson's huge freebie haul at last week's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) has been called into question after promises to donate most to a charity have so far failed to materialize. The star drove away in a brand new $50,000 Chrysler convertible, as well as picking up tens of thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry, clothes and gadgets at the event.

Her spokesman Rob Shuter immediately vowed the star would share most of her freebies with children's charity Operation Smile. He said, "People like her don't really need these things because they already have everything."

The organization, which provides cosmetic surgery to youngsters with facial deformities, seemed to confirm Shuter's claim. Celebrity liaison officer, Dee Dee Sides, told the New York Daily News, "He didn't say anything specific, but she wanted to donate some stuff. I think the car. Maybe we'll do an online auction? I don't really know."

However, in an astonishing turnaround, Shuter now appears to refute his earlier claims, insisting of his client: "I don't think she has thought about it yet."

2. Well, in the video I saw, she didn't back out...
Wasn't a good video either.

But I dare say she's a real charity case...
