Jessica Simpson headed to jail early Friday morning – to be a good friendd.

According to Extra, Jessica’s friend and makeup artist, Mary Phillips (pictured above), was arrested in the wee hours of Friday morning after local authorities received a disturbing the peace call from the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. She was arrested at 1:30 AM for being drunk in public. Jessica visited the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department in West Hollywood early this morning to bail out her pal. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old singer was turned away.

The Sheriff Department tells Extra Phillips could not be bailed out because detainees cannot be released until they are sober.
