Jessica Simpson to don "Daisy Dukes" for first film role
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/film_simpson_dc

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Pop star Jessica Simpson (news) has been cast as Daisy Duke in the big-screen remake of "The Dukes of Hazzard," a project that essentially marks her feature film debut.

Seann William Scott (Shiffler from "American Pie")and Johnny Knoxville already had been cast as Bo and Luke Duke, respectively, in the Warner Bros. project. Jay Chandrasekhar is directing. A start date has not yet been set.

Go ahead and get that visual.

1. That promises to be a crap-fest.
But then, the original show wasn't all that, either. Talk about the bar not being set very high...

Nice casting, though. A vacuous twit for the role of a vacuous twit. :D

4. I'll bet it does well
The afternoon matinees (with married guys taking a long lunch) alone will cover the expenses.

5. I don't get the appeal.
She's extraordinarily tedious.

6. B-O-D-Y
I have to say I think she is far from the brightest bulb but she is easy on the eyes.

A friend of mine (who you would never pick as a "reality TV" watcher) was talking about "The Newlyweds" , I asked him "You watch that?" "Oh Hell yeah" - him and all of his brother's friends (construction industry guys) basically have a party to watch it. That cracks me up.

7. Sure, the body's OK, but the face reveals her essential vacuousness.

28. Who is Johnny Knoxville? Never heard of him.
Of course, I'm not up on all the young actors and actresses that the kids like these days. :-)

32. I thought that was Britney Spears!
Or Hillary Duff!

Or Christine Aguilera!

or all the other pop girls who all look oddly identical. :eyes:

Great. Another movie remake from an old TV show. So when will they get to "M*A*S*H - The movie about the TV series, not the movie"? :eyes:
