Jessica Simpson Hospitalized for Kidney Condition

Jessica Simpson's next project: recuperation.

The pop star is on the mend after spending the better part of a week at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center receiving treatment for a kidney infection.

"Jessica was in the hospital for five days with a kidney infection and is feeling better and out of the hospital," the singer's rep, Cindi Berger, told E! News.

While Simpson has since checked out, the timing of her hospitalizing remains unclear.

In Touch magazine, which first reported her malady, claimed the entertainer was admitted on Friday morning, but that would put her hospital stay at just three-plus days.

Cedars did nothing to clear up the fuzzy math. "I have no idea if she is here," said a hospital rep, "and if I did I wouldn't be able to release any information."

Regardless of the timetable, Simpson wasn't able to enjoy the no doubt restorative bedside manner of Dallas Cowboy boyfriend Tony Romo, who has been tied up in Texas over the past few days with professional commitments, or sister Ashlee, who was in L.A., but spent most of Saturday at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards.
