The stunning singer Jessica Simpson is set to dazzle moviegoers everywhere, as she prepares to make her way into the comic book world of X-Men.

Simpson, who has also managed to land a role in the upcoming film adaptation "The Dukes Of Hazzard," will play the mutant superhero known only as Dazzler. According to the comics, Dazzler has the ability to convert sonic vibrations into various forms of photonic energy, including laser beams and holographic illusions.

"Jessica sent an audition tape and producers were impressed," said a source close to Simpson. "They will possibly give her a small role in 'X-Men 3' as a lounge singer to introduce the character of Dazzler."

Dazzler will work along side Hugh Jackman’s character of Wolverine, who has been the focus of the previous two films. Her appearance in the third film of the X-Men franchise will mark the singer’s first appearance in a genre film, having spent most of her time working in dramas. Her new film, "Walk On" currently is in production and is scheduled to be released at some point next year.


I ... I ... I ... *brainexplodeydeath*

This had better be someone's idea of a bad joke. A bad, bad joke.

*cries*

I heard about this from the guy who runs my X3 RPG group... I thought it was just a bad joke. But then he put her picture in the photos section and asked if anyone wanted to play her...

*cries more*

I don't even mind if they have Dazzler for 15 seconds as a cameo, just as an in-joke for those of us who got a chuckle at "Bye Bye Bye" on Scott's CD player.

But Jessica Simpson? *wails as the theme song to "The Omen" plays*

Hee hee... I like how our icons match. Sort of.

I'm trying to rationalize this to myself here. Maybe she is pretending to be stupid. Maybe she is a good actress and...

Fuck, I can't do it.
