It's been confirmed today by "Variety", that "Newlyweds" star Jessica Simpson will indeed be starring in the big screen version of "The Dukes Of Hazzard".

She joins the already cast Good Ol' Boys Johnny Knoxville as Luke, and Sean William Scott as Bo, alongside Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg in the film, which will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar ("Super Troopers") from a script by John O'Brien who helped out with "Starsky & Hutch".

Although I've never seen this series before, I can imagine Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke.

Get her in some short shorts ASAP.

I'd prefer to see her in a grisly car wreck in the General Lee.

It's Jessica Simpson, not her "dark side of the moon" sister.

For these types of characters, that's some pretty good casting.

I'll probably see it if it looks funny.

wasnt it originally rumored to have Britney as Daisy? eh......i simply cannot stand Jessica.

Holy Christ. Burt Reynolds used to be considered the world's sexiest man and now he's playing Boss Hogg. Wow.

ugh. This sounds bad. I really don't like the casting of Bo and Luke, and I HATE the fact that they're making it a comedy a la Starsky and Hutch.

The show was a comedy, but I have hope for this one sorta. Plus, Jessica has one nice set of legs and ass...uhuh.

i wonder if the replacement duke's will get a mention?
