Jessica Simpson, ABC Reach Sitcom Deal
Posted on: Saturday, 8 November 2003, 06:00 CST
Jessica Simpson, the singer famous for dippy-blonde moments on her MTV reality show, has reached a deal with ABC to develop a comedy.
"Jessica has infectious energy and unmistakable star quality," ABC Entertainment President Susan Lyne said Friday. "She also has a built-in fan base in both music and television, which is a great jumping off point for us."
Simpson, 23, and her husband, Nick Lachey, also agreed to a second season of their reality show, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica."
The series made Simpson infamous for unintentional humor, including the time she confused the tuna she was eating for chicken.
"Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish?" she asked Lachey, 29, in the show's first episode. "I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken by the Sea.'"
