Jessica Simpson 11 hours late for a promotional interview

The actress was due to speak to Lara Spencer of America's 'The Insider' show at 10am didn't arrive until 9pm.

However, Jessica didn't arrive until 9pm, leaving Laura - who had flown to Louisiana, where Jessica is currently filming new movie 'Major Movie Star', to conduct the interview - waiting for 11 hours.

Jessica's spokesperson blamed the wait on miscommunication, saying: "Jessica did the interview as soon as she was free from shooting."

Last week, Jessica's co-star Vivica A. Fox dismissed claims the busty blonde was a diva.

Vivica, who appears alongside Jessica in 'Major Movie Star', insisted rumors Jessica has behaved like a spoilt brat were just "vicious lies".

She said: "Those vicious lies they put out were just that - lies. "She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth."

Vivica insists Jessica - who plays a Hollywood star who joins the US Army in the movie - worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices.

She added: "She showed a lot of physicality, like 90 per cent of all her own stunts, and she sacrificed so much of her body for this movie."
