Jessica Sounds Off on Her "Blonde Bimbo" Role

Most celebrities come to the Cannes Film Festival to promote a movie already in the can. But Jessica Simpson arrived to get press for one that hasn't even started shooting. |
The singer, 26, flew all the way to the festival—attended by thousands of film journalists—simply to announce Major Movie Star, which doesn't begin production until July 9.
"It's basically this girl who's a major movie star, who wants to be more respected because she always gets the blonde bimbo parts," Simpson explained on the red carpet outside the May 18 party for her aboard Cannes' Budweiser Select Yacht. "She doesn't get the roles she wants and ends up walking in on her costar, who is her boyfriend, and her hairdresser! And she figures she doesn't want this life anymore. So she joins the Marines."
It perhaps sounds a lot like Jessica's own career! And if it also sounds a little like the 1980 classic Private Benjamin— which earned Goldie Hawn an Oscar nomination for Best Actress—it's no accident. "The script did remind me of Goldie and a Private Benjamin type of role," said Simpson. "I adore her and look up to her. I aspire to be her." Who else does Simpson—who wore a vintage Herve Ledger dress, Jimmy Choos and Bulgari jewelry to the event—admire? "One of my favorite female performances is Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. That's one of my all time favorite movies. It's one those movies you can watch and always learn something about relationships and love."
Speaking of romance, Simpson remained silent about her recent breakup with singer John Mayer. She only wanted to speak about the film, for which, she said, she would be getting in serious shape, a la Demi Moore in G.I. Jane, not to mention her own body transformation for 2005's The Dukes of Hazzard. "I'm back on an extreme diet and workout," she said. "I have to be able to do take after take of push-ups and climbing walls and going through trenches and what-not! In honor of Moore, Simpson adds, “I'm working on my one armed push-up—in my high heels!"
Tomorrow: Inside the buzz-building, multi-million dollar screening of 15 minutes from The Golden Compass, the Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig Oscar-baiting fantasy out December 7.
Us Weekly movie editor Bradley Jacobs' daily dispatch, "Cannes Chronicles," will offer tidbits on the stars, the soirees and the noteworthy screenings throughout the festival.

I think she can pull off brunette and blonde just fine (unlike Cameron Diaz, ewww). I can totally relate to her break-up/change hair color move though. I used to do that when I had relationship probs.
However, I do think its pretty lame that she went to one of the world's most premier film festivals to promote some c-list level movie. I like some of her songs (stop laughing), but she IS getting on my nerves lately.
She needs a new agent/music producer or something. She can't seem to do anything original, and that would prolly help her earn some type of musical/acting cred.
Public Affair--Madonna's Holiday
Dukes of Hazzard--Done before on TV *yawn*
Major Movie Star--sad attempt at Private Benjamin

Good one Stunner, LOL! I have a feeling that it's still marketing thing or soemthing. The problem is that most people don't really care enough about them to care if they broke up or not. I still think he is waaayyy to good for her.

haley- first of all, don't tell me what to do. Second of all, I was just sticking up for myself from the "jessica sucks" blog when she referred to me in not so many words that I was a horrible conceited person. She doesn't even know me. So before you go off telling people not to start you should read the blogs- and also mind your business.

Jessica Simpson is so overrated, but she does look much better with brown hair, if she would only get those piano teeth shaved down now.

12:15 u know ppl have different taste and thank God for that,
so what the heck are u getting so excited about?
u have to go by what u read and see in the tabloids and magazines, and I personally am one of the ppl that can't stand "her", meaning what I read and see about her.
to me she appears dull, stupid and full of herself and I think her acting sucks. and that's MY personal opinion!!!!

She looked SO MUCH better as a brunette -- this look is too brasy for her skin-tone. Even though I never TRULY understood WHY she was so popular and hailed as such a beauty while she was with Nick (her nose is HUGE and eagle-like), I realize that it may be because the blond look is not truly becoming on her.
