Star Casting: Jessica Simpson as Fanny Brice

I obviously have a lot of free time, and was talking to a friend and we agreed that Jessica's voice would be perfect for the role but we don't know if she can act it well or do a good NYC accent. I doubt she wants to work since she is comfortable with her billion dollar business. Any thoughts? Sorry for the silly post.

Haha! I will daddy.

Is this from a MadLibs book?



(Asked by a fellow too-much-time-r.)

Sadly, Simpson isn’t much of an actress hence why her acting work stopped about 15 years ago. Her focus now is on her family and her enormously successful business ventures.

How on earth is this even a thought that would cross someones mind. I'm hoping you're not in casting

Well, to compare the vocal range of Jessica and Paris is literally comparing apples to oranges.

The OP wasn't joking.

Actually, Aguilera is probably the perfect age now to do Mame. She would look fantastic in all those costumes they had Lucille Ball in."





Sure. They can even do it in rep with Brittney Spears as DOLLY!

You people are NUTS!"

Come on, Christina already dresses like Mame



...or maybe that woman from Grey Gardens

Jokes aside, Simpson is super talented, and I wish she'd give us some new songs or at least a Christmas album.

I think she's up there with like, my diva of choice, Kelly Clarkson. Fantastic singers who know their limits. She clearly doesn't feel the need to "prove" anything to anyone or else she'd still be making music.

I would rather step on Lego for all eternity.
