American pop type Jessica Simpson is apparently looking to adopt a child, making her the latest in a long line of celebs to join the 'adopt-a-child' bandwagon. Being cool celebrity types ourselves we're currently looking in to adopting too. We just need to clear out the bottom drawer in our filing cabinet, and we'll be ready to look after at least one African baby. We'll keep you posted.
Not that Simpson's plans to adopt belong in the flippant file, of course, given that she has been visiting orphanages with her minister father for years. The star has recalled cradling a baby who had been abandoned in a bin on one such visit, and begging to be allowed to take him home. So, take that you cynical types.
