JESSICA'S CONFUSION OVER LUKE WILSON
A seemingly delusional
Jessica Simpson can't seem to stop gushing about her alleged new film
Blonde Ambition — a remake of Working Girl — which she claims is starring
Luke Wilson. But, it's news to Luke!
On
Jimmy Kimmel's Oct. 5 show, Jessica told the late night talk show host, "I'm going into doing another movie with Luke Wilson called
Blonde Ambition!"
And in September, Jessica said, "I'm preparing myself for the tabloid's next covers," saying that she won't be able to avoid media reports claiming she's dating Luke when he plays her love interest in
Blonde Ambition, which reportedly is slated to start filming in November.
But Jessica need not worry! A rep for Luke tells
Star, "This project is in talks." Huh? Maybe Luke's people should be talking to Jessica's people!
Some Hollywood insiders say it'll never get past the talking stage, since Jessica is not a magnet for high-wattage film stars. "Luke Wilson will never do a movie with Jessica Simpson," says an insider, laughing at the mere thought of Jessica and Luke sharing a marquee together.
But a Simpson source tells
Star, that Jessica truly believes
Blonde Ambition will happen, and with a star-studded cast, despite the fact that it's far from reality. "Joe [Simpson] is telling Jessica he's getting big stars," says the source. "Joe's been working on it for months. It'll end up having a bunch of nobodies if it happens. He was trying to get
Meg Ryan to be the
Sigourney Weaver character. It's such a joke. He's been sending out half-written scripts with personal letters to stars asking them to be in it."
