Pop star turned actress Jessica Simpson has reportedly signed up to star in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the hit 1990s TV show 'Baywatch'.
According to The Sun, Simpson attracted the interest from 'Baywatch' producers after her performance in last year's comedy 'The Dukes Of Hazzard', leading to a unanimous decision to offer her a role in the film.
A source told The Sun: "Jessica really caught the eye in 'The Dukes Of Hazzard' film last summer. She was the unanimous choice for the Baywatch role."
The busty actress is therefore set to don the revealing red swimsuit made famous by stars such as Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra and run, in slow-motion of course, into the crashing waves in her duty as a lifeguard for the film.
The source added: "Jessica has all the assets to make Pammi's part her own."
Producers also hope that veteran actor David Hasselhoff, who played Lt Mitch Buchannon in the TV show, will now join the cast.

I really couldn't see her playing any other sort of role. That's rather sad come to think of it and not exactly a GOOD thing for her 'acting' career.
