Jessica Simpson gave jailed actor Lane Garrison something to smile about over Christmas - she reportedly gifted the former Prison Break star with a color TV.

Garrison, who is serving a 40-month prison sentence for a drunk driving accident that cost a teenage passenger his life, was granted access to a TV in his cell for good behavior, but didn't have the funds to buy one.

So Simpson, who grew up with Garrison, offered to buy her troubled friend the TV, according to In Touch Weekly magazine.
