Not that featuring a product in a music video is anything new but HP reportedly paid $200,000 to place products in Jessica Simpson’s candy-coated, new video A Public Affair as part of its “The Computer Is Personal” campaign. In the video, Simpson raps with Christina Applegate, Christina Milian and Eva Longoria about how cool it is to be famous then the girls hit the roller skating rink and offer up more bubble-headed tripe. Towards the end of the video, comedian Andy Dick reaches into his pants as if he’s misplaced his last name and pulls out an HP Ipaq emblazoned with the campaign’s hand imagery. A laptop and a TV/monitor make an appearance as well.

UPDATE: HP’s PR agency, Porter Novelli contacted us to correct a couple of facts we and the New York Post had incorrect.

“While we can not share the exact figure, the $200K quoted for HP’s product placement in the Jessica Simpson video is incorrect. The Jessica Simpson video product placement is not an extension of ‘The Computer is Personal Again’ campaign. HP has an on-going product placement program and this deal was part of an existing relationship.”
