Bond girl rumor the next: Jessica Simpson?!

Just days after the debunking of the Charlize
Theron rumors, we now are hearing that the almost-divorced Jessica
Simpson may well be cast as Vesper Lynde in Casino
Royale. I know, it sounds outrageous - I totally agree. Not only can the girl not really act, but her vapid
persona also doesn't fit in very well with the most recent trend in Bond girls, most of whom are at least supposed to
be both tough and smart. Plus, Lynde's role in the story - and in Bond's life - is reported to be much more significant
than those played by the other chicks in his past (Or is it future? This prequel thing is confusing). And Simpson
doesn't exactly spring to mind when you're trying to think of an actress with emotional staying power (Hey, just ask Nick, right? I'll be here all week.)Regardless of what foolish fans want, however, there are supposedly a couple of at least somewhat informed sources for this story, so who knows - maybe Daisy Dukes will soon be showing up in England sooner than we think.

I don't see it being any worse than Denise Richards. At least Simpson is kind of attractive.

I LOVE Bond movies, but I will NOT see this if she is in it. She epitomizes what is wrong with US culture. Sexy and sofisticated (i.e. a Bond Girl) is not fake hair, fake boobs and a fake tan. JS is an over-singing, manufactured, naive waste of our time and I am sick of her and people like her being shoved in my face.

have to say I agree with cleverbeaver. I love Bond movies but this would put me right off seeing CR.
