Simpson Visits Chicken of the Sea

Pop star Jessica Simpson said she won't be confusing tuna and chicken any time soon, especially after dropping in on a Chicken of the Sea company staff meeting.

On a recent episode of her MTV reality show "Newlyweds," Simpson didn't know if she was having chicken or fish while she was eating "Chicken of the Sea" tuna. Company officials heard about the gaffe and aimed to set Simpson straight.

"We wanted to bring her down and make sure she understood the difference, and told her the story of how the brand name originated," Chicken of the Sea senior vice president of marketing Don George said Monday. He said he would love to talk with Simpson about her becoming a company spokeswoman.

Simpson said she's good-natured about the flak she's received for the mistake, as well as for other mix-ups on the show — like thinking Buffalo wings are made of buffalo meat.

"I think it's fun. I've made a mess up on national television and everyone has been giving me a hard time about it, but it's better just to sit back and laugh at yourself," she said. "I do have my ditzy moments."

"Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" airs at 10:30 p.m. EST on MTV.

Um....her life seems to be one Ditzy moment after another

Only thing is, I don't think she was acting unless it's a publicity stunt.

If she was acting, hand out the most well deserved Emmy of all time.

OK- what are buffalo wings made of? I don't think I've ever seen one- and why is it called Chicken of the Sea?
