JESSICA SIMPSON IS NOW HER OWN PUBLICIST

Jessica Simpson turned into a giggling school girl when she met Johnny Depp. The 'Dukes of Hazzard' beauty has always had a crush on the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' heart throb and ended up embarrassing herself when she was introduced to him at the Teen Choice Awards. She told US TV program 'The Rachel Ray Show': "I made a fool out of myself in front of Johnny Depp. Dane Cook and I hosted the Teen Choice Awards and Johnny made this surprise appearance and I was struck - like by lightening."I said all the wrong things and I ended up saying, 'OK, I'm going to shut up now and walk away.'"I said it right to his face and it was so embarrassing."Meanwhile, Jessica has decided to become her own publicist, after her father Joe fired her public relations officer, Rob Shuter, over his mis-handling of her relationship with singer John Mayer. She said: "It's been very emotional. But I am my own publicist right now. I've called all the heads of the tabloids. I don't want anyone else to speak for me now."
