People:
Vivica A. Fox is shooting down talk of Jessica Simpson's alleged diva-like behavior on the set of their new film together, Major Movie Star – labeling recent reports nothing but "vicious lies." Fox, a favorite on Dancing with the Stars, tells PEOPLE she was "shocked" when a story surfaced from Major Movie Star's Louisiana location accusing Simpson of being a "spoiled brat" by supposedly refusing to walk from one place to the next without a driver, eating alone in her trailer and barely speaking to her costars, especially Fox. "Those vicious lies they put out were just that – lies," Fox, 43, said Saturday during an event for the fashion label Young, Fabulous & Broke at the LG House in Malibu. In fact, Fox said that Simpson was anything but a diva. "She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth."
