Jessica Simpson to star in Baywatch movie?

How come these headlines never say anything like
"Jessica Simpson to star in remake of
Gone With The Wind," or "Jessica Simpson lands role in
latest Steven Soderbergh film?" It's always something about her being in
The Dukes of Hazzard movie or an
I Dream Of Jeannie flick.
Anyway, not that anyone asked for this, but they're making a big screen
Baywatch movie, and Simpson will play ... well, not sure of the character, but it probably involves a bathing
suit and not a business suit. No word on whether David Hasselhoff will reprise his role on the big screen. Maybe he
could be a Yoda-like character, training new, younger, sexier lifeguards.
Now, can Simpson possibly live up
to the acting of Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson, and Yasmine Bleeth?

No way! She truly has to be one of the worst female stars on the big screen. Her body gets her the roles, not her acting.

Now we know who get the roles after Jessica Alba turns them down.
Nick New Interest could also be a lifeguard. and the 2 could wrestle in the sand. (sorry, got off track there for a second)

Jessica is HOT.. I don't care what anyone says. While acting may not be her forte, what makes her that much different from others in Hollywood... I mean come on,, look at the nominations and winners at the oscars this year,,, You're tellin me a song called "It's hard out here for a Pimp" won best song,, Don't knock Jessica for being a Hottie,, that's what it's all about in Hollywood these days and you know it!

=~0 WOW That's going to be the worst movie ever. You'd think she would have learned her lesson from The Dukes of Hazzard being bashed so much...I wish she had paid more attention. :-(

To read this editorial is a waste of my time. Bob Sassone, who are you? An online editorial writer- who reads what you have to say? The only thing that got me to click on this was the Jessica Simpson picture. Yes, we all know Jessica's public persona, but are we going to ignore that she is one of the decade's wisest business women? Who else would take advantage of her fame in the way that she has- beauty products, shoe and clothing line, t.v. show, movies? It is not her fault that society has only one place for blonde, big breasted beauties. You should sit back with her and compare salaries.

I definately hafta agree that she gets offered movie roles for her body and not for her acting ability because she has no talent in that area. She is terrible!

Jessica Simpson is NOT sexy enough to play the roles she's being offered. The 'Dukes' movie was a flop (for her)...she looks like a frump in the cut offs and the red high heels??? She must have stolen those from Aunt Bee's closet.
Catherine Bach and Erika Elaniak are INFINITELY better images than Jessica Simpson! She won't last long!

Lets get real people... Why not put someone in the movie that can actually act and not because she might RUN the correct way. hhahaha I gaurantee the theatre will be full of men. It is sad that you can no longer watch a good movie because the actors and actresses do a good job. It is always because of their appearance.I used to watch Baywatch too. Guess this is another movie that will put a good series to shame.I would reconsider who plays in it.

So what if she is getting roles for her body.. she is being smart.. its going to get her paid! The movie would be shitty with or without her.. so why not get paid?

I think Jessica Simpson needs to play better roles,She has a lot of young teenage fans and she is definatly giving them the wrong message,Shes going to turn into another Pam Anderson!I used to like her but latley it just seems like shes doing stuff to get attention.
