Jessica Simpson says she's close to slipping into a pair of Daisy Dukes. The singer and reality TV star is in the lead to star as Daisy Duke in a movie version of "The Dukes of Hazzard," which is scheduled for release sometime next year.

Catherine Bach played the sexy Duke cousin known for wearing denim micro-shorts in the TV series that ran from 1979-85. Britney Spears had been among the stars reportedly vying for the movie role, but Simpson, who's starting a summer tour next month, says she's the first choice.

"That's looking very, very good and that will happen after my tour. As of right now, I'm [in] the No. 1 slot for Daisy, so hopefully nothing changes," she said.

If Simpson does get the part, it could be a consolation. This month, ABC passed on her comedy pilot, in which she played a not-too-bright starlet named Jessica Sampson who joins a television news program.

The 23-year-old , whose fame has skyrocketed with the success of the MTV reality series "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," said ABC wanted to recast the show, something she wasn't willing to do. "I connected with my cast, and I loved how it turned out, and I think that it could have been successful the way it was," she said.

I don't really remember all that well but Daisey wasn't a dumbass was she?

Simpson is hot though and my hubby will certainly be excited to hear this.

Well....I'm sure she's hot enough...and she DOES have that southern thing going for her. I can see it. Can't stand her, though...TOO much of a dumbass for me. "Nick...why does this Chicken of the Sea taste like tuna?" oh...and never to forget...."Massatwoshits"

Just as long as she does not have any speaking parts and her a$$ cheeks hang out of her shorts she will be perfect for the part. It is so sad that somebody so dumb looks so good.

The real question is, who will play the role of Roscoe P. Coletrain. Maybe that's just the part Billy Bob Thornton was born to play. Either him or Cooter...

Don't know what's worse, this - or Adam Sandler and Chris Rock remaking "The Longest Yard"

Well, the Dukes of Hazzard wasn't exactly Shakespeare to start with but it was so bad it was good.

Lemme tell you, if I had her body, I'd LIVE in daisy dukes shorts! I'd leave off the support-like pantyhose the original girl had to wear, though.

I couldn't help but notice that in some pics my boyfriend sent to me the other day. I still think she is a very pretty girl, but I favor Jessica Simpson for the role of Daisy Duke. Just my opinion....
