Kristin Cavallari to take over Jessica Simpson's "Daisy Duke" role

**lovely bones** · May 28th, 2006, 09:41 PM

US reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is set to take over the role of Daisy Duke from her rumoured love rival Jessica Simpson in the next DUKES OF HAZZARD movie.

Laguna Beach star Cavallari was rumoured to be dating Simpson's estranged husband Nick Lachey earlier this year, and now she's hoping to pick up one of the pop star's cast-off movie roles.

The film's producer Bill Gerber, is working on a prequel and is desperate to cast Cavallari in the role, which marked Simpson's film debut.

He explains, "She's at the top of the list. I like her innocence and her beauty.
"It's a prequel, like Batman. We're going for a whole new cast."

I think she is pretty. Like a carrie underwood type of cute. I dont think she is hott enough to replace Jessica Simpson.

I thought they were going to replace her with two implants stabled to a wig?

So why is Jessica not doing another one? She must have made big bucks from it what with not only the movie but that god-awful song too.

What innocence? there is nothing innocent about that girl

Ha Ha, the movie will flop but I luv it that this will bug the hell out of Plastic Barbie Jessica! Apparently all of the characters are being replaced.

Its called all the characters probably want more money.

why does it automatically mean that idiots who are on reality tv make good actors?? There are plenty of struggling actors out there who are terrific, yet the jobs keep going to bimbos who like to show their hooters and cling to their last 15 minutes of fame.

i dont like both nor do i prefer another dukes of hazzard movie...just because it was #1 on opening weekend does not mean it deserves a "prequel" ...did it even surpass the $100 mark? ..highly doubtful. and god seeing kristin on big screen...*gag* ..

LMAO

Apparently, the plan fell through because the producers felt the wig and sandbags were too witty for the part. Those who saw the screen test felt they lacked the “genuineness and credibility” that the previous film's "star" brought to the role.

I don't think this is going to work. Coming up with a whole new cast only works twenty years later, when the originals are too old to reprise the roles. Making a prequel with a cast of nobodies and D-list celebrities looks cheap and tacky.

Hell, they may as well give Paris Hilton and Fat, Greasy Elvis a role too....
Anyhow, as long as people shell out the money, they'll keep making shit movies. I haven't seen the first one and I won't see the next one either!
