JESSICA SIMPSON HELPS ORPHANAGE

Jessica Simpson has donated a van to a Mexican orphanage.The actress-and-singer gave the vehicle, which can seat eight people, to the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, which she visited in 1999.The 26-year-old star won a sports car at a swag suite at last year's MTV Video Music Awards but she asked to swap it for a minivan so she could help the orphanage. A Chrysler spokesperson confirmed: "Instead of the Chrysler Crossfire, she decided to get a minivan for the orphanage instead. She went for the Chrysler Town and Country."Mama Lupita - who runs the orphanage - reportedly burst into tears when she heard about the gift, and admitted she'd "love to hug Jessica". The van will be delivered to the orphanage next month. Jessica is also auctioning off the red dress she wears in her new Pizza Hut advert on eBay. All proceeds from the sale will go to Casa Hogar Elim. The source added: "The orphanage means so much to her. She wants to help Mama Lupita and everyone there."
