Is Simpson gonna strip?

Jessica Simpson is supposedly looking to be seen as a serious actress. So what does she think will catapult her to serious thespian star status? Nudity! In a story that seems so unSimpson-esque (Daisy Duke short shorts being as naked as she’s ever gotten), the singer-turned-actress is supposedly considering stripping for the screen. "Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting,” a source was quoted by the UK’s Sun as saying. "The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene. Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry's respect that she's ready to go against her better judgement, and her family, by agreeing to bare all." However, the Sun made two very good points. Firstly, it didn’t save Saved by the Bell’s Elizabeth Berkley acting career when she stripped in Showgirls. Secondly, Jessica’s religious father/manager Joe was quoted as saying: "The last script that came to us was for Jessica to be a porn star. We were promised we would win an Oscar with that. I told them, 'I think we'll just buy a statue of a little man and keep our clothes on.'"
