Jessica Simpson is used to traveling in style – five-star hotels and restaurants, entourage in tow – but last week she experienced something brand new, by roughing it Uganda.

There, along with her BFFs Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb, she went to film the latest installment of her upcoming docu-series, The Price of Beauty, set to air sometime next year.

Posting a picture of herself looking forlorn as she peeked out from the giant mosquito net surrounding her bed, Simpson Tweeted on Sept. 23, "WTF?!? Do I really have to sleep like this?"

Only minutes earlier, Paves posted a shot of a gigantic spider and joked in a message to Simpson and Cobb, "Is this the Price of Beauty? Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

A source close to Simpson told PEOPLE.com, "The accommodations were certainly interesting, but Jessica enjoyed being a part of a totally different culture." Indeed, the following day, Simpson Tweeted, "LOVED my first day in Uganda meeting incredible women filled with spirit.

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe says hearing about Jessica Simpson's snatched pooch made her sad. The singer's maltipoo Daisy was snatched by a coyote outside her Beverly Hills home last week.

‘I'm very sorry for her loss,' say Debbie. ‘Coyotes are smart and hunt very well in LA. 'When dogs are small, you can't leave them out alone, especially at daybreak, night time and evening.'

Debbie's basset hound Ruufus was mauled to death by a coyote in 2004. ‘We were able to do the "country thing" - we shot the coyote and hung the skin on the fence,' she tells Us Weekly. ‘The coyotes moved on after a few days.'

Just days after Jessica Simpson's poor little doggie, Daisy, was snatched by a coyote earlier this month, fellow dog lover Martha Stewart chastised her. “(Jessica) should’ve been more careful,” Martha told Us Weekly magazine. “She should have watched it more closely.”

Now, I thought that was kinda mean of Martha, especially from a woman known for pampering her own pooches.

(Besides, Jessica's little maltipoo was snatched from its own backyard. What, you're supposed to keep your dog on a leash in your own backyard?)

Obviously I wasn't the only one who thought Martha was a little harsh. Sounds like Martha thought she was being a bit harsh, too.

“I said that she should have been watching her dog more closely, but I feel very, very sorry for anybody that loses a pet,” Martha said. “Jessica, I hope you find your pet, but if you don’t, I’m really sorry that you lost one.”

Jessica Simpson is moving on. Days after calling off the search for her dog Daisy who was snatched by a coyote last week, the star, 29, is in Uganda, Africa, filming more of her upcoming reality show, The Price of Beauty.

"WTF?!?" she Twittered Wednesday after posting a photo of herself surrounded by protective fly nets. "Do I really have to sleep like this?"

Simpson, who is in Africa with pals Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb, is "focusing on work" after the loss of her 5-year-old maltipoo, a source close to the star tells Usmagazine.com.

"She's so happy just seeing the world and opening her eyes to what's out there," another source tells Us. "This is a good project for her."The star is also set to visit Mumbai, India, for the show, which does not yet have a premiere date.

Jessica Simpson has called off the search for her dog Daisy, after a coyote snatched the multi-poo from her Los Angeles home earlier this week.

The singer and reality television star employed the services of Find Toto to help search for her beloved animal, but spokeswoman Clleen Busch told E! News, “They concluded the search and are not continuing it at this time. There are no leads.”

She adds, “They wanted to feel they gave it their best efforts. They felt chances were slim from the beginning. Apparently, [coyotes] are quite an issue in that area.”

Earlier this week, Jessica Simpson announced that her Maltipoo “Daisy” had been carried off by coyotes and that she was reaching out via Twitter to help locate the dog. Now, after a bunch of backhanded sympathy (mixed with a healthy dose of mockery), Jessica is defending her decision to keep hope alive—despite the advice of Martha Stewart.

It’s quotes like that one that make me wonder if Jessica Simpson might be a little deluded about this whole incident. Coyotes don’t take Maltipoos to the animal shelter.

It’s fine to say you’re the proud mother of your pouch in some circumstances, but launching into a kind of Amber Alert style crusade over a dog that was taken by coyotes…well, that’s a horse of a different colour. And it’s not just “a-holes” like me that think so.

I feel Jessica Simpson's pain, I really do. I have a cutie-pie dog named Daisy. And Jessica?
Well, she USED to have a doggie named Daisy, until a coyote snatched up her precious maltipoo Monday night at her L.A. home and carried it off into the unknown.

Two days later, Jessica hasn't given up hope that somehow, somewhere, she'll find her beloved Daisy, a maltese-poodle mix who was a gift from her ex-husband Nick Lachey. Jessica named the dog after her character Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard."

She once said that the little pup was the most memorable gift she ever received. "She goes with me everywhere. It's preparing me to be a mother, I think," she said.

So I can understand why she's torqued at all the people on Twitter telling her that Daisy is probably dead. I can understand why that's not something she's ready to hear, or face. An angry Jessica posted this message on her Twitter page Wednesday night: "Still holding out hope despite the assholes that say it is a dumb thing to do. Daisy is my baby...why would I stop searching? I'm a mom.

Los Angeles Actress and singer Jessica Simpson has revealed on Twitter that her heart is broken – and it’s not because of her recent split with quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo.

Rather, she revealed that her little dog, a cream-coloured mix of a Maltese and a poodle, was snatched in front of her eyes by a hungry coyote in her Los Angeles neighbourhood. “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes,” tweeted Simpson. “HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!” (dpa)

Jessica Simpson has told of her “horror” after a coyote snatched her beloved pet dog, Daisy. The singer and actress has said on her Twitter page that she was heartbroken after witnessing the incident, adding that a reward is available to anyone who can help return her pet.

After posting a pic of her beloved pooch, Jessica tweeted: “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. “HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!” Jessica has been pictured with Daisy, a Maltipoo – Maltese and Poodle cross – on many occasions. Fan healincomfort replied to her desperate Twitter appeal:

“I’m praying that you find her and she was able to defend herself. My heart hurts for you, I’m an animal lover and it’s like losing a family member.” Another, puddy290 wrote: “My prayers are with you and hope you find your baby safe and sound.” Edierubinson tweeted: “That’s so awful! So sorry! Daisy is the cutest dog I have ever seen.”

Even though pop singer Jessica Simpson is yet to find Mr. Perfect, she is desperate to mother a baby. Her secret ambition was disclosed by the younger sister, Ashlee Simpson, who is the mother of 10-month-old Bronx Mowgli.
 
"She’s always saying, ''Oh, I want a baby!” and she loves Bronx," says the 24-year-old Ashlee.  Jessica is currently seeing singer John Mayer after she broke up with her ex beau football star Tony Romo last month. Even though Ashlee’s marriage with rock star husband Pete Wentz has seen lots of ups and downs, she is not jealous of the single life her sis is enjoying.
 
"I really don’t," said the Ashlee. She has disclosed that she has become stronger after she delivered her baby. “Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible”, she said, adding that, “I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from," said Ashlee.
