Jessica Simpson, Ready for Full-Frontal

The "Blonde Ambition" actress is hoping Hollywood will begin taking her seriously and believes that if she can't nab an Oscar for her acting chops, a full-frontal flash will surely secure her a golden statue.

A source told the tabloids, "Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting. The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene. Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry's respect that she's ready to go against her better judgment, and her family, by agreeing to bare all."

Jessica turned down a raunchy role as a porn star earlier this year and sources say that her manager father Joe Simpson had a lot to do with it.

Joe said, "The last script that came to us was for Jessica to be a porn star. We were promised we would win an Oscar with that. I told them, 'I think we'll just buy a statue of a little man and keep our clothes on.'"
