NEW YORK - Jessica Simpson (news) says she's close to slipping into a pair of Daisy Dukes. The singer and reality TV star told The Associated Press she's in the lead to star as Daisy Duke in a movie version of "The Dukes of Hazzard," which is scheduled to come out sometime next year.

Catherine Bach (news) played the sexy Duke cousin, known for wearing denim micro-shorts, in the TV series that ran from 1979-85. Britney Spears (news) 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 Wednesday.

Lol she need to smarten herself up if she is going to play Daisy. I had no idea that are making a Dukes of Hazard movie. Thats awesome! I had just bought the original first season of Dukes yesterday.

There actually was a reunion movie just after Uncle Jessie died in RL. Jessica's acting persona will have to "smarten-up"...at least over those Buffalo Pizza commericals! In the reunion movie, Daisy came riding into town on a motocycle with a Duke jakect because she had gotten a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Duke!

I heard originally Britney Spears was supposed to be playing this part. What happened to that?

Bo and Luke Duke are supposedly being played by Ashton Kutcher and Paul Walker.

All I've read is that she was the only name dropped from the proposed cast. Jessica Biel and Mandy Moore were also considered.

The article said she was in the lead to star. I don't think she's officially received the part yet. Britney may still be in the running.

See, after I took the time to actually click on the link and read the article, I see that Britney is mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, and that would have answered my question.

Thanks! Just ignore me!

Have you all seen her newest endorsement -- Icebreakers' Liquid Ice mints? She is confused as to how it can be both liquid and ice.
