Jessica Simpson Joins 'X-Men 3' Cast

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.

OH PLEASE be a joke.

Isn't it bad enough that we have to put up with Nick Lachey on Charmed next season? What the hell is it with these two? Go be married or something and leave us alone.

Oh NO they don't!
Bloody hell.

They will possibly give her a small role in 'X-Men 3' as a lounge singer to introduce the character of Dazzler."

And if, by saying 'possibly', they actually mean 'they won't', then I'm fine with that.

The only way I'd accept it is if she were on the screen for 15 seconds or less, similar to the way they introduced Beast, Gambit, Jubliee and Colossus.

Is there no escaping this woman?

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*

I've heard something about that, but thought it was bullshit. As for making her one of the main characters?

No. nonononononononononono. More slightly illegal Rogue/Wolverine dammit!

Jessica's a phenomenon right now. Why, I don't know. I do know I prefer her to Paris Hilton.

There's an excellent article on her in the August Vanity Fair. Supposedly, she has a 160 IQ.

This news makes me want Halle Berry to stay as Storm. That's not right.

On the bright side, Anna Paquin's Rogue suddenly looks like casting *brilliance*.

Why do I just know this means they're going to put her in the gouge-my-eyes-out 70's outfit?

In no planet is any of this right. Perhaps it is a joke? Perhaps they will change mind after reaction.

Fuck fuck fuck, NO!

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.

AHAHAHA. I can't see past the fact that this is fucking funny. Later, when ive gotten over it, I'll probably go on a killing spree. Wanna come?

There is only one thing worse than having Dazzler in a movie, and that is having Jessica Simpson play Dazzler in a movie.

I hurt now.

It could be worse. It could be Britney. Or Paris Hilton.

Missing the point completely...

I dunno. It looks like Britney might be developing an actual personality.

Forgive me for being blissfully ignorant but Jessica Simpson isn't that famous on this side of the Atlantic. I checked out IMDB and it doesn't say much ("she loves to shop at Abercrombie"... yeah right, amazing actress...).
Mind to enlighten me ?
She can't be worse than Halle Berry... Can she ?
