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.

Damn, that's a great icon! New?

[unanon.livejournal.com]

Heh.. yes and no. It's the image I used for 'pissed off' on my Rogue mood theme, but I decided that Sabretooth's 'pissed off' icon was getting on my nerves so...switcheroo!

I love when Rogue gets vicious!

[fyrdrakken]

Reminds me of this icon, in the way it manages to convey outrage so vividly in such a small image...

[fyrdrakken]

Yours is better, though. It's the full-face thing -- and her yellow eyes and sharpish teeth only add to it.

[unanon.livejournal.com]

Hee! I've found opportunity to use it on more than one occasion as well. Of course it turns my Rogue icon count to three instead of the standard two, but at the moment I'm really not minding.

I like the sharpish teeth. *grin*

Nothing wrong with multiple icons of your fave characters -- having nudged the above Spider J from "Fuck you" to "Spider J" to make room for the "Fuck you, we're from Texas" icon, when I was planning to give myself a separate SJ icon anyway, now I'm thinking I need to have a "Spider 2" icon. Plus I have two Wolvies, two Pippins, and two Frodos. And room to keep adding more pics, since I haven't filled all my slots yet...

Hmmm.. it's interesting, isn't it? Do you think more people lean toward mere fandomness in their iconage or do you suppose that the larger percentage use icons as mood emphasis?

Or something else entirely.

[fyrdrakken]

Actually, although I try to have a mix of representing my fave characters/fandoms and having some mood-appropriate ones, judging by others' icon collections the icons tend to be chosen fannishly -- and then used to indicate mood, as appropriate. (As when I deliberately use my "Well this certainly does suck" Frodo icon as a sympathy thing, or the Spider icon because it was an outraged icon rather than because it's SJ.)
