Jessica Simpson: I’m Ready For Leading Role In ‘Blonde Ambition’

Jessica Simpson spoke with Empire magazine about her first lead role in a film, starring in loose remake of the 1988 Melanie Griffith classic ‘Working Girl’ entitled ‘Blonde Ambition’. “It’s definitely the theme of ‘Working Girl’,” Simpson said. “This small town girl moving to New York City and rising up into this great career as a businesswoman pretty much. But it’s definitely not a remake.” The singer added, “This will be my first leading role and I think I’m ready for it. The other two movies that I’ve done (‘Employee Of The Month’ and ‘The Dukes Of Hazzard’) I feel like I’ve got a load of press out of ‘em, but I’ve really only had about 12 lines. I’ve never had the leading role and with this one it’s really going to be nice to just dive in and kinda wrap my arms around it.”
