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.

dazzler isn't like a spectacularly smart character.

she's kinda a dumb teenage girl.

i don't know...

rebecca romijin has done a really good job herself in the xmen movies, and she has hardly any lines.

maybe jessica will be the same.

altho rebecca is hotter
.

Dazzler is the spawn of lawyers, had a successful singing career, a not-so-successful movie career (well, at least Guido liked it), and is as of the last time I heard running around with Longshot in the Mojoverse.

Back in the day, she was Alison "The Human Mattress" Blaire, but hey, every team needs one! ;)

I liked her best when Rogue tried to kill her just for being such a prat. Shame she didn't succeed.

You also forgot the Limited Series where Dazzler got involved in busting up a gladitorial-like combat arena for mutants and somehow, the Beast got involved and they had a brief romance. The LS was called "Beauty and the Beast". Why in the world do I still know these things?

Because some memories hurt too much to be properly suppressed.
